This build works very well.. Touch rangers are great for farming. I farm Rajazan alot. I've gotten his sword 10+ times... made a lot of money. I farm other bosses with a guildy two man touchers. It goes fast and we kill whoever till we get two drops.

If you don't mind, I'd love to know what these 2man bosses are and how long they take you so I can update this thread with that information.

In any case, grats on the multiple Rajazan's.

Yah grats!! I've only gotten 3 of those (sold 2 though) but its fast and easy -now- roughly 5-8 minutes as sometimes I can pull him out first and sometimes I can't. I could likely shave more time off I as I tend to always take out the 6 carp at the res shrine before running it.

Oh yeah, was showing a guildy exactly how I farm rheas crater, so after he watched me take out delic, we tag teamed Aurius and his entire group all at once, then took out the monk boss right by the res shrine <Incetol devout of depths> and then Lorelle. All went by fast as a blur. We even considered the onis....
Basically Lorelle is well nigh impossible for me to kill better than about 20% of the time, and the monk you need duo for <healing burst and healing hands>. Duo can clear all 4 bosses in roughly 15-20 minutes however.

I've also been messing w/ this build - I swore I'd never play one (mostly because of PvP) but the rewards for PvE solofarming just seemed too great.

I've personally been able to solo Craw Stonereaper and Xuekao, both have dropped their green items (daggers & staff).

I've been using the same weapon setup apart from a different blood knife - +5en katana of perfect fortitude, En+12, En+15 En-Regen -1, Hp+30 blood knife. I have the other En+12, 1+Blood20%, HP+30 for quicker recharges after fights.

Xuekao is cake, I can do him in <5mins, stonereap is about the same, I usually solo the mob infront of him unless they have more than 2 healers, in which case I just zojun's right past ;]

Trick to clearing Xuekao is kill _all_ the Jade Brotherhood around, cause when you agro him they run over and try to kill both of ya.

edit: lol



edit: took me two tries to work out how to get to him AND this very helpful video clip (http://youtube.com/watch?v=GvdKPz7eE4E) but here he is, dead rajazan

Okay, I think I am gonna add a section for Duo Touch Farming on the first page. We'll see how it goes.

The tricks mostly are the same for most of these kills.

Pull away from allies or find a way to neutralize what they do (eg, geometry blocking vs archers) or kill the allies. This last is typically if all else fails. Much easier to pull away or otherwise separate in most cases.

I just soloed Chkkr lotus lord, he is very easy, dodge + zojuns to get to him (avoid all the patrols on the way) run to a big tree in the waters slightly northwest of the island where chkkr stands, use a longbow to pull him out, throw dirt-lightning reflexes-whirling defence-throw dirt and he should be dead by then.
I think it can be done in like 3 mins or less..(not certain, but it seemed to go really quick)

You can find him in melandru's hope

I nearly killed that dude. Got him to about 80hp - He's nasty - He drops a rather good pair of daggers with better stats than Shiro's Blades, and they look better too - http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Chkkr%27s_Pincers

Getting to him & timing the pull perfectly is the hard bit, imo'


EDIT:
OMGOOGLES - I met up with Mistical Miss ingame and we double teamed the crap out of Chkkr. Got his daggers on the first run. We are repeating now. Very Very Very easy.

Chkkr 1000 Tail down with mistic miss in hand

on our first dual run he drops his pure pwnage bow.

Need to load distracting shot to interrupt his Trolls', without that he's a hard ass.



beeeautiful.

Awesome.

I tried this guy when I was just getting started with this and couldn't quite close the deal. WTG!

Working on rating this one.

Comments so far: no speed boost is necessary at all in my estimation, which frees you up to bring a variety of other skills. I'm having fun with this but I keep blowing the kill.

EDIT: mistical miss, please provide all skill and gear details on this. I may be just blowing the kill somehow but I can't replicate it yet. Everything until then probably takes 2 mins total. Thanks!

Yeah... Ummmmmmm we have killed Geoffer, Jacqui, Merki, Stonereaper, Reefclaw, Razortongue, and Milthuran. We use the same build as you except we dont use plague touch. We take the two dodge skills and lightning reflexes. We usually dont kill the people around the boss. We jsut run in, put whirling on and touch the boss to death. Works well with two people, and goes much faster.

I use ToA more ofthen then Plague Touch, only take it when you know you will be facing conditions that pose a threat. And as for duoing... not my style :P I like the challenge of facing a boss one on one...

Out of curiosity I tried this and it works quite well, although I prefer my W/Me, it made a nice change.

I used a +5 Energy Weapon to start with, but I had a Truncheon with +15 Energy, -1 Rechargein my stash which combined with the +15 Offhand gave me gave me 67 Energy although with only +1 Energy Regen.

You can also get a Crafters Pronged Rod with either

Halves skill recharge of Blood Magic spells (Chance: 20%)
Energy +15
Energy regeneration -1

or

Halves casting time of Blood Magic spells (Chance: 20%)
Energy +5 (while Health is above 50%)

So, apart from the extra energy, you will be also be doing some wand damage.

I managed to take out Foalcrest Darkwish, but it wasn't easy and not very repeatable but I'm sure someone more used to the build would find it easier.

Like the 2 Rit Bosses, its unlinked to the surrounding group, so some creative luring can pull him away. No green drop yet, but according to wiki he drops Ky's Chalice (divine icon) worth approx 10-15k in guru price list. Overall its pretty easy takes about 10 mins or so. Now for some of these other Raisu Bosses......

EDIT: I should say that Ky is unlinked to the enemies already there. If you go too close to that spirit portal thingy and more enemies pop from there, they are linked and you can't really lure him by himself in that case.

I haven't really been able to consistenly recreate the success I had with this Untouched Ancient Ky. Its proving to be quite a trick to lure him.

I have found that you can touch Sword Ancient Kai (warrior constuct) in the same area. I dont know if this is a bug or not, but he doesn't attack when you enter his agro. The only thing you need to do is interrupt his healing signet (I just switched out a non-essential skill for dist. shot). I kill him with bow in hand rather than my usual gordacs set, rdy to 'rupt him so it takes a little longer but works all the same. When he respawns after a few minutes he is active then and a group tends to spawn around him. I've killed him about 5 or 6 times in a row now, so the 'bug' I mentioned doesnt seem to be a fluke. No drops for me yet but he has one for the taking anyway.

Yes, I have found out that my friend here was having trouble solo-ing him too..
Serpents quickness is a great skill to bring( use it on dodge at start, and on throwdirt + 2 times offering of blood when you start killing him) as for gear, I use an *elite* set

+5 energy! axe + 5 armor (not required for anything, totem axe will do just as well)
the +1 blood magic (20%) +12 energy +30 health focus
the +15 energy -1 energy regen +30 health blood focus
the +15 energy -1 energy regen deadly chesta , collected in the maguuma jungle by trading 5 maguuma troll tusks for it.

First use the +5 E axe + 1blood(20%) combo, serpents quickness + throw dirt + a couple of touches- offering of blood on cooldown (try to get in as many as possible under serpents quickness) when you are down to 0 energy, switch to +E axe +27 energy focus to use offering of blood, then switch back to ur first set to touch twice, then switch back again for a few touches more, offering of blood, back to first set one touch, back to second set, couple of touches + offering of blood, touch some more, switch to trunch + 27 E focus, offering of blood +a few more touches= him dead.
I have tried without the truncheon, its possible but will take slightly longer (you have to be very careful with the energy flow at start, you must save so you have full energy when he starts using self heals.)
