Thanks a lot Rez i really appreciate it!

It will still do the full 80 damage no matter what rank or lvl title you have, but of course that depends on how much damage the enemy is capable of dealing to you. But it is worth leveling up your rank to atleast 3 or 4. But yeah, you can still use it for bosses even if it only last 6 seconds with no asuran rank. It is only acouple seconds difference from what I have, but it is still enough time to do some major damage. Just be sure to close in the distance with the caster bosses, that way they will hit you more by being closer to them... Stand right next to them would be best.

Two questions:
(1) Zehlon Reach: Build seems to work well against corsairs, but the insect monk is a pain and almost always spawns in path to corsairs. Start to get low on energy casting PS and SB to get by him. I usually ignore and run past, but is there a better option?
(2) Nahpui Quarter: I hate those spirit lights and their nightmare weapon spam. Any tips how to counter? I seem to do better with my 105 hp necro with Insid Parasite... Even then its 50-50 on killin a spirit light.

For farming those Corsair, you can still farm while the Grub insect group is in the way. The melee insects will eventually die since the Grub won't beable to keep up its energy to heal them all. But the Grub insect will still be following you, but he don't do much anyways. By time you get to the last group, simply walk to the wall and away from Grub, and the grub will turn around. The run is definately smoother when you get insect mobs that you can kill off. I have killed some Grubs with Pain Inverter... as it will eventually drain their energy from healing themselves, and then eventually die. Takes awhile, but takes care of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but Pain Inverter might kill them while they are not using Nightmare
Weapon. Simply cast it on them while taking on their mobs, as they will concentrate on their own allies... and eventually it will overwhelm the Lights. I'll give it test. But if all else fails, just keep running and killing groups even though the previous Lights will follow. The Lights will turn around at some point, but it is still capable of doing a full run with them following you.

Again, Pain Inverter is a wonder spell. Be sure to get it if you don't already.

Wow, this build is great and very easy to use. I have never used a farm build before (!), but 5 minutes after I bought the skills I was out in Kaineng killing street gangs.. or at least until I forgot to recast Protective Spirit.

Only problem is that i don't have NF, ie not Reversal of damage, and i have only done 4 missions in Factions.. Whitout VwK and RoD you just don't do much damage.. but I can live with it, at least for now.

Great build and guide!

EDIT: Umm.. whithout VwK the whole 330 HP thing loses its point.. but aah well .. maybe Ancestor's Rage
/doh

You can always farm 3k Balthazar Faction in Zaishen challenges, and unlock VwK in Pvp. Than you can buy a Elite Ritualist Tome and unlock it for PvE use. VwK is important to getting the full potential of the build. Also, you want to make sure you got Hard Mode unlocked too... it is the only way to farm now.

Factions campaign is quite easy to get through, and fairly quick. If you don't have HM or VWK, I recommend taking the time to complete the campaign before doing any major farming with 330hp. And having all the campaigns and expansions is definately worth it. NF and EoTN are great for alternative skills and farming areas.

It was mentioned in another build that someone used [skill]Scourge Healing[/skill] instead of RoD. I tried it and it will take them down, but after a while. It also means you;re not as fast at killing blades etc with it as they don't heal.

Hope it helps

It is best to unlock HM in Factions and NF, and EoTN if you want. They got the best farming places... especially Nightfall. But take your Rit to Cavalon in Factions to farm Luxon Sins with "Hacylon Job" quest... if you haven't already. Farming the newb islands are also great places for both factions and nightfall. Its worth taking your rit through games, or atleast to farming areas... and of course to unlock HM.

Hey again. . .

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I love this build!!

330 Kicks Major Arse for soloing stuff.

603Rt pwns 600Mo from what I can tell. I've only been playing GW for about two months now, but already had a few smiters tell me that my runs through CoF are the fastest they've ever been on.

I'm gonna go try this week sometime, but maybe you guys already have. . .

is it possible to vanquish using a the 603 Rt and Spellbreaker monk combo??

I know it's not possible with 330 alone. . .but maybe the duo team could pull it off?

Dualing definately can take you places you never thought of farming, but only thing you need to watch out for is major knockdowns, and interruptions from Rangers and Warriors, especially getting dazed... Also, Mesmers can still use Signets to interrupt you. But, I am sure it can still Vanquish alot of areas, especially Newb Islands, and low level areas such as Old Ascalon. But areas that already have 20+ lvl enemies can cause problems, but still might be possible depending on enemy skills.

Nice. I will try that as well. I used vampirism with some success if nothing else to distract the lights while i run to next mob.

On another note, I noticed when I first started farmin here lots of gold and purples drops, so much it was almost funny. Now barely a purple. I guess the anti-farm code is still on in hard mode.....

Hoorah for this build's speed at killing things.

Dunno how many of you guys have used the 603 variant with the spellbreaker smiter. . .and dunno how many of you run CoF ever. . .

but the hotfix the other day, where the ghost guys' Reversal of Damage now appropriately hits the smiter, it has little to no noticeable effect on the Rt / Mo team.

while most of the monks were crying about "nerf" i made 55K running people thru lol.

the best part about it in my eyes. . .

given that like half the ghosts are ritualists, and use RoD, it's like really ghetto NPC 330 Rts killing player monks!!!

that makes me smile. i don't like monks, just because so many of them say "Ritualists can't run CoF. . ."

Which 600hp are you talkin about? 600hp Rt/Mo for dualing or 600hp Mo/Rt?


But both of them have to be a bit different to get your health to 600hp. Both use similar skills as 330hp for damage, but need Vital Blessing for health boost.
