Why will you deal with SoJ? you probably shouldnt be attacking him directly in anycase due to your damage coming from sliver and aftershock.

Nightmares pop-up and spam it on you when you run up the hill to the Ice Beast.

Do you take anti kd? i know it wont prevent the damage but t will stop you getting knocked down.

well, i guess the planes are the new target for ecto farmers...poor mindblades

.

There are so many variants that work in NM...HM however, imho, it's not worth it. Dunno how you guys manage with it, but i find the fleeing of mobs from any decent damaging spell more than a mere nuisance.

I assume HM would be impossible.

Far from impossible, just do the same in HM aggro as much as you can and they go down quite fast. Usually take 3 aggros to kill all the smite for me, not sure if that's good because I'm a UW newb, done only 4 runs so far. Shadow Refuge can heal you through Zealots Fire.

I use the sliver armor variants in HM and if you aggro them so that their left side is next to a wall, they can't flee.

HM is possible you just have to get the Coldfires and then kill them fast, I would bring shadow refuge instead of Feigned to spam more and attack the coldfires to get the +104 health back on shadow refuge. Also don't get to close to the coldfires or they will cast frozen burst and kill you.

The question is though, why farm in UW/FoW in HM, beyond the challenge?

You're not going to get inscribable weapons, frequently the weapons that do drop aren't max, and ecto/shard drop rates are the same regardless of difficulty.

Or at least, that's what ANet says. Having gotten 8 ecto in one Chaos Plains run in NM with my A/E AoE sin (not sliver) and killing all the enemies at the same time, I can concur.

Simple..... Enemies attack faster in HM................ Sliver armor can kill faster.

I was trying to do shiroken farming today at unwaking waters, but i kept dying. Last time I did it Song of the mist dropped your health down to just 1hp, but now it just kills you completely?

I remember doing that before. Seems like Anet have fixed it..

Found out last night. The Build can solo HM Dwarvens outside of Delimore War Camp and Sorrows Furance. Only problem is that the healers are pain. You wont be able to kill them because with the amount of emenies you have on you they just run away. Anyone got any tips on how to kill those healers I would Appreciate it.

royal mercenary · May 28, 2008, 03:04 PM // 15:04

attack em so they don t run away

Warriorsrmint · May 28, 2008, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Stay close to them so sliver targets them, maybe take a snare aswell to slow down the speed at which they run away so you can pull em pack easier.

Avatar Exico · May 29, 2008, 01:27 AM // 01:27

tryed that didnt work. On HM the Priest of Sorrows will Run away with attacks or No Attacks. Mean you cant even get near him he will run in the sec you get to close. The Mob I had was to big. Have to reduce the Mob then he will stay in one spot. Doing this is really hard he heals the Party well and with Mark of Protection the dmg doing the foe with Sliver is reduce to 0 and it giving a uber heal.

Elite Bushido · May 29, 2008, 01:44 AM // 01:44

ay, Rezdogg. another area you can add from Prophecies is Witman's Folly outside of Port Sledge. there's 4 bosses and they can be killed very easily(especially since you can agro a LOT of groups) and they never deal dmg to you. drops are Ok i get about 3 golds per run. my best one was 4 golds, 2 lockpicks, one of those scrolls thats 400g and a elite ranger tome. id also like to add that this could be a good area for people to practice with since its pretty much foolproof once you know exactly how to keep of SF all the time.

IDS fun...

[build prof=a/e sha=12+3+1 ear=12 dead=3 name="IDS" box][Glyph of Swiftness][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][Sliver Armor][Dash][Dark Escape][/build]

Always go left when running to Ice imps in mineral springs, you will die by the archers, Avicara Fierces. So when you get right into the zone cast SF and then use dash then dark escape, by then they have Ignite Arrows. Ignite Arrows will do 9 dmg to you if you have Dark Escape and a +8 armor shield on. I would also suggest +10 vs fire. Then you see a Y in the road once you go left for a bit, choose the side that doesn't have more archers. Then you will have no more archers to run by, unless you get the boss.

To make this run most effective while having enough energy to cast SF, I would go Dark Escape, dash, dash, SF repeat I think. Pretty simple.

very impressive ...
i'll remove the dust on my sin ^^

Looks like a good route, I'll have to try it out. A good skill to take for Ignite would be [Feigned Nuetrality] with Dark Escape, or just use Feigned with some cupcakes. I been using cupcakes alot with my sin, frees up a slot, plus work on my sweettooth title at the same time

But yeah, I'll get the IDS run a shot... never actually got an IDS before, I've tried the old W/Mo build ages ago, but I never bothered since the run was so far just to end up with nothing.

Add Glint's Challenge in HM to your list ReZDoGG.

It can take out most of the first wave of destroyers until you get down to about 4-5, that's when their inner fire starts to out heal sliver. Just position yourself between where the two mobs of destroyers come in and be sure to aggro all of them before they aggro the baby dragon. Wait until the counter hits the 3 minute mark and then you can move into one of the destroyer mobs and start your sliver combo. Only thing you have to watch out for is when the mobs start to dwindle, the ritualists will begin to use [Vengeful Weapon] which will cause you to take damage. You can use either [Feigned Neutrality] or what I usually prefer, [Heart of Shadow] to heal yourself. Once you've cleared out most of the destroyers, resign and start again.

ReZDoGG might forgot a Farming Spot in Proph. Have to check with a Friend. Lions Arch Titan Farming with the End Quest of Proph. A very perfect place to paratice the build with alot of foes to kill. Dont have worry about being killed their no skills those Titans that can pen SF. Only thing is that if you want to kill the Rangers, pull a huge grp to them and then Sliver the ranger to death.
