Default ...and if I cant use sliver armor?

So, I want to farm with my elementalist but I only have proph, NF and GWEN.

are there any decent builds for me or should I give it all up ?

my intention is to farm bosses for greens outside kodonur crossroads in NF.

I would appreciate any help !

Depends. Farming E/A is very hard due to nerf (50% dmg in Shadow Form's form ;d), E/Mo probably could use Crystal Wave + Shock + Aftershock... But won't be too fast. And Glyph of Swiftness + Obsi against spells. And Balthazar's Spirit/Essence Bond for energy.

Maybe you could do like, ele 600? I'm not terribly familiar with the build but isn't it summen like;
[prot spirit] [spirit bond] and [Shield of Absorption] and maybe [ether renewal] and a load of earth enchants? [kinetic armor] [armor of earth] maybe. [balthazar's spirit] and/or [essence bond] for energy management. Then drag along Gwen to bring the damage buffs;[signet of illusions] [retribution] [holy wrath].
Heh, I'm honestly not sure if I've got this build right at all, but maybe someone else can correct me and educate us both

-edit- *checks to see if none of these skills are Factions only* and yep, doh, [spirit bond] is Factions, and rather crucial to the build, if I'm not mistaken. >_< sorry, errmm hope someone else has a better answer for you xD



EDITED by Marty Silverblade: It's 'Absorption' with a 'p', not a 'b'

You can run this build. Replace [Dragon's Stomp] with [Earthquake] and [Ancestor's Visage] with [Sympathetic Visage]

Both of those are just replacing Faction skills with Proph skills with the same effect.

EDIT; also, if you were 600ing, you wouldn't bring [Kinetic Armor] or [Armor of Earth]. The point is to take as much damage as possible under [Protective Spirit]. With that armor stuff up, you wouldn't be dealing any damage from Smite Bonds, and you wouldn't have any healing from [Spirit Bond]

[mindbender]

[lava font]
[flame djinn's haste]
[fire attunement]
[gladiators defense]
[disciplined stance]


This isn't for green farming, But you can farm Smite Crawlers in the uw with it which is alot more profitable, and it uses no factions skills ;o

It's a tricky build to run, but if you can get it down it will make you a very nice profit.

You don't need Sliver Armor, the version I used before Sliver was added used [Storm Djinn's Haste] for faster getting there and aggroing under the enchants, so you can use that.

http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:E/Me_Underworld_Tank

You can run that with a buddy if you use the variant.

Shaygo i assume ur farming hekets - they are sneaky in my books for a gd reason.They have pets ( alligators ) who cause condition then hekets use a skill on that condition and interupt you - did say it was sneaky lol
I found its hard in nm and harder in hm to kill them but if you find a way to kill the gators first then any monks you shud be able to stop interupts.
Wiki has full skill details on the hekets an gators so skills can be noted.

Can people please note shaygo hasnt factions - im starting to feel sorry for shaygo as they state no factions and people keep adding builds with faction skills.
Only thing i can suggest is finding a skill that helps against interupts - mantra of concentration may work and its a prophs mes skill - used in 600/smite builds in uw and doesnt really need any attr points.

If I use mantra of concentration i'll lose the energy gain and damage reduction provided by mantra of earth.
well, I simply run by them now.
problem is, when I get to the nightbringer's mob, I get degenerated to death.
I'll try AoR. if it doesn't work i'll have to buy it.

I think your using earth tank - good vs casters but bad vs melee if using obby flesh.
Only thing i can suggest is go in with 2 or 3 heros 2 monks to bond you and reduce dmg and 1 other as dmg support.
May seem a lot of effort but you can be bonded to provide energy and tho you may lose drops to heros runs will be quicker.
Or even go sabway or discordway as both works fine there tried sabway in 4 man team and did surprisingly well against the hekets and kournans.
