I created this Bison farming build (it's a variant) and just wanted to share it with the community.

Pros:
-Doesnt rely as heavily on spirits (helps with facing razah and magni)
-Has a backup skill in case things get ugly
-Every enemy goes down in <13 sec
-Has kd, interupt, blind, and weakness

Build: X/Rt or Rt/X
(I like using a r/rt to take advantage of expertise)

1: Ursan Blessing r4+
2: Mighty Was Vorizon
3: Pain
4: Bloodsong
5: Summon Mursatt r5+
6: Shadowsong
7: Dissonance
8: Ebon vanguard assassin support r4+

Put 12 in both chanelling and communing if doing a rt/x but if you are a r/rt put 11 in chanelling, 10 in communing, and w/e else in expertise.

Process:
When timer hits 0:01 cast MwV and stand on furthest 'plank' and cast skills 2-7 and then run forward just enough so the gates close. When the enemy aggroes with you use ursan and cast skills 4+3+2. By the time you use ursan force (skill #2) you should have won.

Watch out for razah and argo. Razah is a spirit spammer so when you fight him place your spirits just outside aggro range. If he begins to attack you, start to cast mursatt, evas, and ursan ; even if you haven't casted all of your spirits. As for Argo make sure you interupt silver armor or you'll win with very little health.

And if you so happen to do this farm often you will face palwaka joko instead of magni as the final opponent, he's impossible to beat.

Sorry but...spirit spamming has been around forever for Norn Tourney.

As well as ursan, you can beat it with just ursan.
And how doesn't it rely on spirits? You have Four. And a skill that gives you energy to place them.

Pretty much any variants are on pvx wiki or even talk page on wiki

What's the purpose of Bison farming?

Getting that fugly crown of course. So you too can look like Jughead from Archie in game.

This is basically taking 2 ways of farming the Tournament (Ursan + Spirit/Summonspam) and combining them.

Nothing new, nothing special.

How are spirits bad against Razah and Magni? Vs Razah simply place the spirits just out of agro range, they have longer attack ranger than the agro bubble. Or hex him and then use EVAS to interupt his first spirits so you get the jump on numbers from the start. Vs Magni you pretty much have him perma blinded and deal huge amounts of armour ignoring damage. How is that bad?

As a ranger you don't need that many points in expertise. I use an old Exp +1+2 headpiece I had lying around with the 3 leftover points to give me 6 expertise overall, energy was not an issue in the slightest.

1: this doesn't rely as heavily on spirits as a spirit spammer build. You have a mursatt, a assassin, and ursan to back u up

2: versus magni sometimes you may miss purge signet and or bear form. Then magni will kill your spirits and your screwed. This build is a little more noob friendly

3: as for razah, if you mess up spirit placement you still have the mursatt, assassin, and ursan to deal damage

MercenaryKnight · Oct 15, 2009, 08:15 AM // 08:15

All you really need is like shadowsong, vanguard sin, a summon (ruby djinn?) and ursan. Anything you add on is extra.

Although the absolute easiest way now would be SoS, pain, bloodsong, shadow song, painful bond, summon spirits and whatever pve. Summon ice imp could help for slowing down or djinn or what ever you want.

Edit, almost forgot vampirism from sunspear title track.

Should be simple with the rediculous amount of damage you can get with all those spirits and painful bond. I just went in a cok dungeon run and brought those on my paragon and with 1 set of spirits the boss was down to about a quarter health (600 was still doing damage but it helped a lot).

I realize other builds do work but I am just posting one that I came up with

MercenaryKnight · Oct 17, 2009, 02:33 AM // 02:33

Just saying that your build is still spirit based whether or not you want to admit it. Shadowsong is the main skill you need to defeat magni.

Thenameless Wonder · Oct 18, 2009, 02:34 AM // 02:34

Ok it is sorta spirit based, I do rely on shadowsong to help beat magni. BUT still uses a couple summons to help along the way

1: Theres nothing wrong with relying on spirits, they deal big damage. Using summons is also nothing new, the PvX Spirit NFT build uses Sin support and has the Asura summons as optionals.

2: You don't need to get his bear form, he still drops in seconds. Purge signet removes blind, but shadowsong applies it in the next attack. He will kill 1 spirit at maximum during that time.

3: If your build has EVAS or SoS then you already have the upper hand over Razah.
