Running to the vaettir is as simple as pie, you don't even have to aggro anything. You've probably been going down a bad route or something.

I think what it boils down to between war and ele is 1 thing - ele you dont really need a high eotn rank but one build i know uses lux/kurz rank with ss but technically u can run e/me with uber low dwarf rank ( tho most who have done eotn will be avg r5 dwarf for lod ) but as warrior and like you said a high vanguard is needed.
Shame there isnt a vanguard fast farm like the other 3 races have.

There was during Wintersday, all that frosty tonic farming built-up my character's ranks x.x

I think speedbooking is still viable, but if not there's always the Sacnoth Valley vanquish :/

Isn't speedbooking the fastest way to accumulate title points anyways? I guess not or else there wouldn't be all these silly individual farms :P

Not really - speedbooking cannot be done by a new chr into eotn as you need Ctc as great d` was the last stop but a new chr into eotn with hm already on account - say arguements sake an ele , they can straight away get to rata sum and farm raptors or do BwB then farm vaettires without doing any more eotn.
People like farms they can run straight into without having to grind title points - why speedbook a few hrs and lose out on those hrs farming.
I farm vaetires on sin who has maxed norn , im sure a huge amount of raptor farmers in 1 form or another have already maxed asuran and im sure as hell once they max title they dont stop farming - its not always about title points but the farm itself.

Speedbooking takes about a day tops to set up and is ~3k points/15 mins = 12kpoints/hour. I only gained maybe 6k at vaettirs after farming 2 stacks of eggs and bunnies. Raptors are slightly faster but speedbooking is definitely the fastest way to gain faction, unless you are doing dungeon speed clears in <20 mins.

Im just wondering if anyone could post or direct me to the E/Me build which you are all worked up over. Atm im farming as A/Me but it would be fun to try my ele there too.

Also i have looked around a bit and could't find it myself.

Thanks in advance

2 versions of E/Me
first - OgVEMISJzJJ9pN8VZAQKuEtEkNA
the 2nd is slightly different and relies on ss/lux or kurz ranks - higher the better in both - swap echo and lod for ether nightmare and cop with no attr changes.
+1 +3 on head and all with geomancer and where you can fit attunement runes - 20% enchant on weapon - i use 20/20 earth offhand with caster weapon.
The first build relies on armor ignore dmg and 2nd relies on 1/2 armor ignore dmg and degen tho i find im faster with the degen build - first build takes around 3 casts max to kill a mob where 2nd does it by 2nd cast of both crystal wave an tenhais.

Got one question - i went a bit mad yesterday and tried E/Mo using the monk skills from a/mo and it seemed slow to me after i was using E/me and just wondered if anyone else has been curious enough an tried it already
