I get touched by wallows to but its usally surviable. and in regards to trap some times it cna't be helped but with practice you learn where it normaly is and rember always shadow step to the warden of wind so the others cna't knock you down as seen in video.

pegasux · Sep 14, 2006, 05:57 PM // 17:57

i nvr see a warden of winds there to ss to...only the forest and the ranger guys =(. so i have to go through the direct path and miss out on the assassin boss.

just curious...what are you guys selling the shield for and how long does it take you?

Evilsod · Sep 14, 2006, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Sunreach is easier as E/A imo. Length of Shadow Form makes no difference as he's practically in front of you. Also means its more doable with higher dp so you can kill off the Wallows first if you want.

The traps are extremely annoying though, but they don't compare with Shiro'ken Elementalists.... they're frigging relentless!!

evilsod,

i wish i could just get to the dang monk construct withough dying =(. i have problems getting past the first group without getting hexed and burned =(. how are you getting to him with no degen?

Scott · Sep 14, 2006, 06:09 PM // 18:09

run through the first group, then you come to the first group of afflicted, there you use shadow form and dark escape to run down to the monk construct BUT NOT INTO IT. instead you run up the next ramp (to your right) to have a rest there. from there you can start your attack for the monk construct.

CalypsoX · Sep 14, 2006, 06:22 PM // 18:22

The VERY first group you will encounter are amfah. These guys can get pretty annoying, especially the rangers trapping everywhere, and the degen owning you when you're heavily dp'ed. What I like to do is throw up shadow form, lead them to the first group of afflicted/shiroken, then deaths charge/dark escape away. It helps save some annoyances later on.

And as for running through afflicted, as scott said, shadow form is your friend.

@Evilsod - I suspect your experiences are different than mine just due to the sometimes random targeting of sliver armor. I've had it attack the boss, then once mobs collapse in, suddenly switch to an afflicted, then a shiroken, etc. etc.. In my experience, it seems that once sliver armor picks a target, it stays on that target no matter how many times it and/or you die.

For example, I go in the mesmer construct group, target the construct, then sliver armor targets afflicted (warriors or sins) and kills them. I die, rits rez the afflicted. I go back in, I target the construct again, and sliver armor decides to attack the warriors or sins again (are they same ones, I can't tell exactly, but it happens so many times its more than just a coicidence I think).

thx scott and calypsox =) i'll give it a shot now, btw what are you guys getting for the shield?

Evilsod · Sep 14, 2006, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Hehe, i've been luring them down into the Shiro'kens too. Those trappers get extremely annoying.

It does indeed seem that once its target has been chosen nothing will make it change its mind. I've been in a complete deadlock with the Mesmer Construct sometimes. Sliver Armour always targetted the Afflicted Assassin first... killed it... then went to work on the Mesmer Construct. At 10% health left they'd res the frigging Assassin and it'd go back to attacking it! Usually meaning the Mesmer survived till the end of Sliver and i'd have to run off. After doing this for the 5th time in a row i got bored, why the hell can't monsters get death penalty!

Its extremely annoying, it seems to have something against Spirits too, whenever 1 has been nearby its always targetted it above everything else.

For the shield i got 50k. I had interest in the first 20 seconds of trying to sell it. 1 said it was the wrong req the other was a moron trying to scam me offering gold not plat. Didn't seem to take too long to finda buyer though, just have to be in the right place. I got 60k for 1 of my 4 Kaolin Domination Staffs in 5 seconds of trying (2 i've sold to guildies for 25k the other i'm working on).

Thats why you bring death charge.

pegasux · Sep 14, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

wow guess they go for a lot more on the us servers...tried selling for 50k on the euro and didn't get a single bite...lowere to 45 and only got people with counter offers of 30k...finally sold 4 at 40k.

Evilsod · Sep 14, 2006, 08:31 PM // 20:31

Pegasux, i think you need to check my location if that was directed at me

The other way to get past hte wardens is to stop when they get close, usually making em waste it. Deaths Charge would be better for it though.

dejsav · Sep 14, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I need to spawn also assassin boss?

It helps. Going from the far side has a much better chance I usaly only die in 1in 10-20 cause sometimes it jsut way to hard to target him.

dejsav · Sep 14, 2006, 11:33 PM // 23:33

DROPPED! YES!

thank you all ^^

moenbase · Sep 15, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

Perhaps we can make a nice list of bosses ya can farm with it.
And prefered skillset.

Makes it a lot easier navagating this thread :}

Also, Warrior Warden seems to be a problem still, he keeps getting healed by some ritualist bloke. :/
I find it hardest at him to get Sliver Armor target it right. Only been able to kill him once in about 6 runs.
Gonna try adding Rust, perhaps that helps a bit.

Evilsod · Sep 15, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

Christ the Mesmer Construct must have a thing for me. Since i began farming with this build about 2/3 days ago i've had a grand total of 1 Protection Staff, 1 Accursed Staff, 7 Domination Staffs. I've practically given up on the Ele Construct and Warrior Constructs. The Ele is just awkward and the Warrior just won't die often enough.

But if anyone does happen to get a Kaolin Blade, i want it!

CalypsoX · Sep 15, 2006, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Yea, I made a suggestion earlier about making a hit list. Since I stumpled upon list, I have a huge laundry list of bosses I've tried, most of whom aren't listed anywhere in this forum because they either can't be separated or their group is too hard. Atm though, it seems like this thread is mostly about sunreach and kaolin farming.

Since it's Desires' thread and build, I'll leave it up to him what to do. If he's willing to setup the list on the first post, that's fine. Otherwise, I'd be more than happy to start a fresh thread with a list and guidelines for each one.

dejsav · Sep 15, 2006, 06:54 PM // 18:54

which skills you use for mesmer and monk construct?
