Hello,
I am looking for an Ele/X build ( I have all expansions) so I can farm Jishol dark song in HM, Ive done a few searches and found a Ele/A with shadow form, but now its doesnt work since the nerf. Also I have found a Ele/W build, which I could not get to work properly.
Sliver Armor
Glyph of Renewal
Stone Flesh Aura
Bonneti's Defense
Kinetic Armor
Aura of Restoration
Crystal Wave
Tennai Crystal

I was wondering if anyone had a build that I may use please? That works well with solo-ing.
Thanks in advance.
Steven

just use a terra tank

[Kinetic Armor][Stoneflesh Aura][Stone Striker][Mantra of Earth][Glyph of Renewal][Sliver Armor][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][Feel No Pain]

Hi thanks for that, Im not sure how to do those picture things.(only my 2nd post)
But I tried that build and kept getting knocked over and failed 90% of the time, So i swapped skill 8 to Unstoppable, and it worked pretty well then, only time I failed was when the boss runs away, which he does alot lol.

Here is what i used

[Terra Tank;OgVDMayMSmCfVbVGALD8Q5i0kA]
thanks again

P.S. is there many other bosses you can use with this?

THat build will work, just make sure sliver targets Darksong 1st, you'll need the attacks to fuel it... Also, he uses leaders comfort, so bringing a rupt like [you move like a dwarf] for that skill may help u...

If you have a caster weapon equipped(like a Totem Axe) and hit the boss periodically, they're less likely to run away.

Recently discussed, on second page:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10353984
I ran it on a warrior with mid/low ranks, with nothing in place of [whirling defense], and it still worked fine. Just 16 earth magic and you're fine...

Marverick · Feb 26, 2009, 08:46 PM // 20:46

I believe their only KD is Counter Blow, so if you don't attack, you shouldn't be getting knocked down.

Skill 8 can be swapped for whatever, I only included it to deal with burning. Put in ["By Ural's Hammer!"] to kill faster.

Nope. As I said in the other thread, they have [hammer bash] also. They also have some sort of non-KD interrupt, but they only used it on me while I had [Mist Form] up, so it never gets displayed (why?!?).
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Cobalt_Mokele

EDIT: I suspect either [counter blow] or [hammer bash] still interrupt you, even when they don't DEAL DAMAGE. One knocks you down, the other doesn't (this becomes apparent when trying to recast [mist form] prior to expiration - it is interrupted, but you aren't knocked down)...

I created the following warrior build to pull interrupts on [meteor shower]:
[build=OQYVkWlsm4WxoUpdrcFZADAdFA]
No luck getting interrupted.

[glyph of elemental power][Shadow form][deaths charge][sliver armor][intensity][ebon battle standard of honor][crystal wave][finish him]

16 earth
12 shadow arts

.... done.

You are pretty f##ed if you fail to use Finish him (i.e. shouting when not below 50%) and you are going to kill him almost near the end of sliver & sf.
Bit hard but still E/A.

And why doesnt anyone though about 330hp ele with glyph of renewal + sliver and that Ward againts knockdown? :P.

Hit him with a staff and he wont flee... easy :P.

Out of Curiosity, can a terra tank work in FOW?
Or a 600/smiter build?
If so any chance of getting builds?
cheers

Just plain OFFtopic... but yes.... there are some terra tank zones (maybe 1).
Being E/Me you can go with

[Glyph of swiftness][Stoneflesh aura][Obsidian flesh][stone striker][mantra of earth][sliver armor][intensity][Storm Djinn's Haste]

Cast terratank skills until mantra (included) and use djinn haste to reach the beach. Recast when needed and your ready to go (paaaainfully slow if you let me say it). You can even change Storm Djinn for some pve running skill... just optional...

I run this:
[Glyph of swiftness][Stoneflesh aura][Obsidian flesh][stone striker][mantra of earth][sliver armor][aura of restoration][Storm Djinn's Haste]
Because running to beach is easier as you get more healing... but is painfully slow to kill anything :P

I think a 600 could even clear the full FOW with some heroes.. theres a thread about it here on guru. But you can farm with an standard smiter and you being MO/Me with [Ancestor's Visage] / [Sympathetic Visage] going near the monk in the groups or [Spirit Shackles] casted on monks far away from you.
Up to you to try.

Do you have a link to this thread? I did a search with engine and didnt find it and went manually and still couldnt find it

ragnagard · Mar 05, 2009, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Off topic again, rofl.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10274969

Is what you'r looking for.

Btw, i think that full clearing doesnt worth in terms on time/$$ obtained. As you should do it almost manually an microing the heroes.

Take note: This was for demonstrating that it could be done, not for profit and I am not the OP of that thread nor know anything about him/her, so no doubts can be answered from me, apart from giving you the link

I assume you're using 20% enchant mod?
[deaths charge] seems wasted, I'd use a run skill instead. The two extra damage spells at the end can prolly be replaced with [by ural's hammer].

I can take the following warrior build:
[build=OQYTk4FXHydgdAVAAIXkHCHMVEA]
with 7 sunspear, 5 vanguard, and 4 deldrimor title ranks, and the boss dies every time (1 run to boss, then 2 3 5 6 7 8).

My measily warrior with only 12 earth magic, while you're hitting 18 on an ele!!! I'm currently working my ele through EotN to get [by ural's hammer], then I'm gunna do some serious sliver testing. =D

You asume right.
But you'r wrong about Death charge. After all the nerfs to SF, every second spent running pi$$es you off.

Using Ural is OK but you cant take off a damage skill, mine, obsidian flame or something like this. Simply you cant outdamage it if not.

Mist form is ok because you got rid the -33% (and thats great).

Coney · Mar 05, 2009, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Yeah, 'kinda' forgot abt the -33% and shortened time for [shadow form] now (more like a forced mental block now heh).

Now I'm starting to think about some mega-block build, with 3-4 non-elite blocking skills, freeing up the elite for damage? Something like:
[shroud of distress][mental block][magnetic aura][ward against melee]...

EDIT: [ward against melee][magnetic aura] are enough to survive killing off the boss and 1-2 others using [sliver armor]. A nice looking elite is [flashing blades], which can take the place of ward, leaving a slot or 2 open for DPS...

BTW, I've been talking about HM - is anyone else NOT?

Voodoo Rage · Mar 05, 2009, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Do it in HARD MODE. It's actually much easier because they attack faster. I learned this trick farming Pywatt.

Coney · Mar 10, 2009, 01:27 AM // 01:27

Got the build to wipe all 5 of em and the boss (HM):
[build=OgNDkMPOTGDwCoC5i8Q4gpi+MA]

pretty simple - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (I go east, and pull them to right side wall), then 8 again when Jishol dies.

=D

Might be better to bring 7h/h and kill the 4 behemoths first, then flag them away, to 'tease' out a better droprate chance from Jishol (see other thread)...
