Do you take Henchies/heroes with you on the IDS run with this build and fight your way to the ice caves.

Seems that running you bleed to death

Please asisst with some advice!

Earth doesn't have much direct damage besides Stone Daggers. Short recharge and low energy cost makes it spammable damage. Obsidian flame would be nice except for the exhaustion, so meh. Since your build is an infinite energy engine, you can cast it almost nonstop. The real damage comes from Sliver Armor, which you should be recharging with Glyph anyway. I suggest a Totem Axe or similar weapon, because then you can lock onto a target and stay in melee range to guarantee Sliver does the most damage.

This sounds like an awesome build. Can't wait to try it!

However, just to be clear, you can still get interrupted from physical attacks, such as Savage Shot or Distracting chop, etc. so I'm think anywhere with lots of casters would be ideal place to farm.

So me the 'run' on video - I just cannot see how you can get there without having enchancements stripped and getting owned!

getting there is soo annoying -_-" I hate those tundra giants

note: why 12 points in air magic ? I use 6 and it enough, rest of the points I use for better dmg reduction from mantra of earth (11 inspiration)

if you have problems with bleeding+Life Siphon, switch to a +60hp staff and take off some sup. runes

and do use sliver armor as cover enchantment against bird mesmers

I find the run one of chance! If the spawn is not in your favour game over! If any giants are in the narrow passage part then it is also very diificult.

Although fighting there is also a real pain and takes forever you do get there!

Is the Signet of Swiftness to be used on both Obsidian Flesh AND Sliver Armor?
