Not true luckily! ive just been getting into 55 farming and went out here and went "WOAH new boss" so checked Wiki etc. He always spawns with monk for me but that might be my luck. However you can get round by walking round the left side of the mound so you can spawn Nightbringer, finish him, then you can walk down the left side of the water to Robah and Buhon.

But my latest secret which you might like is that Dzabel will come along way, past the wandering priest or whatever, but the monk wont, just keep on walking till they leave and hes there on his own. TADA!

I am not real sure as I have never used this build but, from reading the equipment section your weapon must have the following:

A scythe with 20% longer enchantments is good. Also, make sure your scythe is customized with a 15% damage mod of some sort.

So, to me it looks as if you could put on a Zealous Scythe Snathe and get +1 energy for every hit you do and with a Scythe you have an inherent ability to strike up to three targets in adjacent frontal range which would give you +3 energy.

I think where you might get into trouble is when you are down to 1 or 2 mobs.

Again the Zealous Mod might not help a bit but, it is the only thing I can think of without buying Prof.

Hi, I haven't been following the thread as I just got back into GW, and was wondering what would be the most efficient place to farm with this build?

Thanks in advance.

I saw some people asking about doing this in harm mode. The answer to your question is yes, you can do it in hard mode most of the time. Not always tho. Whatever boss you are farming, look on Guild Wiki to see if their skills differ in hard mode compared to normal mode. Like, for instance, on of the troll bosses has a healing sig in hard mode making it hard to kill him. Plus some of the people around him might have strip enchants or something in hard mode. But if they don't then it works fine. Actually it works better because they hit you faster so you get energy faster.

this is kinda of a n00b question but if I bring heroes and henchmen, kill everyone sorrounding a boss and flag them away, will I have the same chances of getting a green as if I had done it solo?

Yep, as long as you flag them outside of the radar, so their names are grayed out.

Droknar's Reaper is the perfect scythe for this build, and it's fairly cheap to get, rather than finding and buying all the mods you need to build your own.

Thanks for the build, it works wonders. It farms ettins very easily (although not a good farming site IMO). I'm trying the run in your post, but the beetle queens keep healing themselves and everything else, how can I get around that? I notice no one else has had that problem.

It sucks when you have ~ 3 beetle queens and they're constantly healing.

Is this boss farm nerfed or something? I get utterly raped by skale (necro) every time. Am I doing something wrong here? or what?

As powerful as Mystic Regeneration is, it used to be more powerful in the time where this build came out. It made almost unlimited degeneration bearable in some instances.

One important thing while doing the 130 dervish thing is, your DP will wear off as you are killing things, possibly making things harder on you. Maintaining DP isnt always possible but the principle behind this build is for your help to be 130hp

Well, it can only farm a handful of bosses and monsters. Don't expect to solo vanquish DoA with this... ;/

I really like this build, I would think it would work but.. for me it doesn't. I have the armor, +20% enchant and +15% dmg scythe, 130hp and I try farming the Djinn in your second screenshot but I get destroyed by them.

First I cast the two enchant upon entering the area. Then as I'm coming up to a group, I cast Prot Spirit and Mystic Regen.

Then I get them around me and start spamming attacks and watching my enchants in case they go.

What am I doing wrong?

So apparently the last time I logged on this website was October '07. Almost 2 years ago. The reason being is because my GW account got banned. It's crazy to look back and see how popular something I made actually is. I hope you guys enjoyed it I'll probably see you guys on Guild Wars 2 when it comes out. Have fun on GW in the meantime.
