I'm afraid there's no.
I've tried to kill them w/o vampirism (no nf) didnt work.

I know I mentioned this in my prior post, but I thought it should get a revisit...

Where have you guys successfully farmed with this build? I heard that if you keep farming the same exact mobs, the drops lessen (is this true?). So I've tried farming an entire area instead.

My 'main' farming area is Hard Mode right outside of Sunspear great hall. I do a little circuit starting with the plants/spider right outside, and go south killing beserks and more spiders, then west and north along the river killing bladed termites and skales, to the patch of plants then work over to the storm boss and finish at the bug boss.

Total simple run, always pull a whole bag of loot filled with purps, golds, tomes, and even the occasional dye (just got black today). I've now got a bank filled with the absolute best wraps/heads/shafts/inscriptions/etc. I know it's likely not on par with crazy 2 minute hard mode raptors or whatnot, but it's fine for me in my limited GW farming experience.

What other areas are solid farming for our newly energized Ranger/Rits? I don't know most of the common farming areas, I don't even have factions unlocked for HM I've only done nightfall. But I'd love to see some other input on great farming areas, because there's definitely alot of areas NOT good for this build.

Did UW duo with a friend
1 Me/Rt with this build ( Painful Bond was replaced by Flesh of my Flesh)
1 Rt/X with: Wanderlust/Earthbind/EVAS/Spirit Rift/Painful Bond/Siphon Spirit/~Optional~/Flesh Of My Flesh

Did good, died some times but with support you can be rezzed, Wanderdlust+Earthbind is great when dealing Aatxes/Graspings/Smites etc. The Support rit triggers behemots traps with EVAS and deals dmg with Spirit Rift

The build works just awesome. Thank you for sharing the concept with the community.

I solo farmed for the avicara scalps Nic wants this week in Talus Chute with my rit using a very similar spiritspamming build. Managed to collect the 15 scalps within 20 minutes.

Yeah I saw this post and thought about an idea such as this.
I'd think running the original build for the Rt/X
Then with Mes/Rt running Painful Bond, Wanderlust and Earthbind and maybe a few snares or perhaps running an EVA + Explosive growth would be effective as far as dual targeting or quick damage.

I and a few friends of mine have done all but the Spawning pools solo with the rt/x version I posted earlier. I think The Spawning pools could be done but I think it would take quite a long time. The Mercantile Summoning Stones are nice for this run. Thanks again for posting this as the build works in a lot of other areas also.

Hi. Long time reader, first time poster. I LOVE this build, both on rit and ranger. Its pretty much adaptable to all caster classes and my friends have been having a blast as spirit spamming derv's . Have had great success in UW with it, and my guild is working on a sprit/traps build for a complete team clear. Have gotten chamber, wastes, chaos plains, and a taste of the Spawning pools, but totally doable, the smites being the most difficult mobs so farm ( but its just a case recasting spirits and keeping Spritleech Aura up as much as possible) and can farm a few bosses as well ( Craw Stonereap for one). To spunducky, thank you so much for posting one of the most fun builds I've ever farmed with. Farming becomes fun again when you're not invunerable : )

I personally did the Labirinth and the Ice Wastes with no problem. I am not at all familiar with the Underworld yet unfortunately, so I was just running around without doing quests, but the build worked really nice. Smite Crawlers are a bit more difficult to defeat, but they are not really a threat, if you keep your spirits between the foes and yourself.

I had the most trouble with Bladed Aatxes. They are hit really hard and can kill your spirits with one or two hits, so Shadowsong and Armor of Unfeeling are really useful when fighting against them. I used some rock candies, mainly to boost my running speed, which was extremely useful when I had to flee from the Aatxes.

Well, I don't think you may find a more useful skill then this. Besides the fact that by using Spiritleech Aura your spirits can steal life with their attacks, it is actually the only means of selfhealing on this bar.

Hm, the sad fact is that I don't have summon mursaat, not any other asuran summoning skills. I tried mysterious summon stones, but whatever was summoned, was not alive for too long.

As for disanchentement, it will probably work against the smite crawlers, but against other foes it might be less useful. Dissonance may work better.

Hm, maybe I will try out both alternatives.

Lol, that's what we did!
RT/X with FomF instead of painful bond
Me/Rit with Wanderlust, Earthbind, Eva, Ruby Djinn, Spirit Rift, Painful Bond, Siphon Spirit, FomF

But next time we try we gonne take SS
Think SS will speed up the things
N/RT: SS,IP,Spirit Rift, Painful Bond, EVA, Ruby Djinn,FomF,...

I really like this build.

I dunno if anyone is interested, but I took it as is with Painful Bond into the Bison Tourny at Gunnars Hold. So far I've faced everyone and they die with in seconds. I think a buddy of mine did the same thing with his spirit spammer Rit some time ago which gave me the idea.

But it kills everyone, even the nukers die before their spells kill off the weak spirits. I just planted all them right at the entrance of the arena than cast Painful Bond to arrgo and run back to the spirits.

Well I went through the polymock irritation and got the ice imp. Very disappointing skill for this setup, much better off with something else. For a level 15 dude, he sure is weak. And even healing him with spirit light doesn't help much. Even a low level spirit is better than the imp, he just doesn't do enough damage and is, of course, completely unaffected by spirit regen or armor.
