Gotten 5 elite sin tomes the past 5 days I think, only doing a couple of runs each day, remember to switch areas to kill the farm code, it helps

I dont think elite tomes/greens are affected by loot scaling/farm code...

So far ive got 15 elite sin and 48 broodmother claws, lol!

Speed boost mod:

Just take [skill]Storm Djinn's Haste[/skill]

with the advanced build the sup air rune wasnt really needed, but now it probably will be, I also suggest taking out of E-Storage and into air, you wont need that high max energy anymore.

Im not adding this to the first post as its not a big deal, with the recasting of stoneflesh/channeling/armor of earth, you're only going to save yourself 10-20 secs max - I also dont suggest using this if you dont have any experience with the A/E or E/A, since its got a similiar usage...

*EDIT*
If you cast enchants right before this, then recast right before rekoff, you can save a nice portion of your time

Can anyone help me with the ORIGINAL E/Me build? Just show me ingame how to run the build, a demonstration.

IGN: Naomi Hatoyama

The Youtube video is of bad quality, and i am more of a visual person.

Here, just posted it....that should help some. The cave itself is very dark....it's not just the video, but it doesn't help things......best to watch with the lights off.

I dont see much difference in that second build, other than that its alot less safe

Thanks for the vid though, much better quality

Dr Dimento · Jan 21, 2008, 02:15 AM // 02:15

2nd build less safe? LOL, have you actually tried it? Cuz i have yet to die using it. Much faster and far safer IMO.

the failure rate with any of these E/Me is very low

this is just 50% blocking, as opposed to 90% for blind

Dr Dimento · Jan 21, 2008, 10:41 AM // 10:41

Not arguing that blind is not as good as anything else.....

Maintaining sliver = 52% blocking + 50% of mental block. That doesn't mean 100% blocking....it ends up being about a constant 75% blocking (slightly more). Also, if you get unlucky and sliver targets the boss too late to kill......it's not an issue. It also shaves about a minute and a half off of clearing the cave.

Yea, it works well (perma sliver aswell) 1 prob though is that rekoff's wild strike is unblockable and ends your stance, not a prob if you watch for and plan for it, but that should be noted

hehe just got a req11 elemental sword with this area, why couldn't I have found this when they were worth something!

Marverick · Jan 25, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

I don't know if anyone has thought of this already but...

Disrupting Stab/Wild Strike/Twisting Jaws = requires energy...

[skill=text]Ancestor's Visage[/skill] + [skill=text]Sympathetic Visage[/skill] = no energy for the raptors and Rekoff

If you aggro Rekoff after the rest of the cave, she should be out of energy before she can even pull of Twisting Jaws. And there will be no way she will get the energy to pull of Unsuspecting => Wild Strike. No need for blind or any other block skills.

Then it's just a matter of sitting back and pwning everything with Sliver Armor while the Raptors are left to auto attacking.

Attributes something like 12+3+1 Earth, 9 Illusion, 9 Inspiration, 3+3 Energy Storage

Dr Dimento · Jan 25, 2008, 08:17 AM // 08:17

Having high energy storage greatly reduces your chances of mantra ending early due to being out of energy. I'm just not confident in 6 energy storage being enough. Especially if you dont have high asura rank.

Thats because sliver isn't targeting her soon enough and when it does theres not enough aggro left to kill her before she runs. You have to have her targeted and be attacking her with your staff/spear before you cast sliver. Theres still no guarantee but it increases the chance greatly.

BTW: Not supposed to res threads, especially ones on page 7-8. D:

Thanks for the answer.

Sorry, I thought you were allowed to revive stuff as long as it was relevant to the subject.
