Then you didnt read the thread.

The answer btw is famine.

Famine deals xx dmg to everyone if their energy reaches 0. Sympathetic visage drains 3 energy from adjacent foes every time you are hit by a melee attack.

Anyone noticed the increased use of Shroud of Silence?
The run is still possible, I just seem to be having this thrown on me more and more often now... Possible attempt at nerf lol?

Edit:
Yup, seems to be happening a lot more than it used too.
May not seem like much, but if it gets thrown on when SB starts flashing, you're screwed.

MrGuildBoi · Oct 12, 2006, 01:13 AM // 01:13

Don't use a staff. Use Rajazan's Fevor or Totem axe. Using a staff makes them think you are a caster that uses enchant, thus them using Shroud of Silence.

Mother_Goose · Oct 12, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

Whoops, just realised I still had my Wayward Wand equipped instead of my Totem axe...

Stupid me.

Snoblind · Oct 12, 2006, 10:50 AM // 10:50

I still get the Shroud a lot, and I use a Gothic Sword of Enchanting...

Maxiemonster · Oct 13, 2006, 09:48 PM // 21:48

Easy, very fast, very much experience. You can get Legendary Survivor in a couple of hours this way...

Vermilion · Oct 13, 2006, 10:00 PM // 22:00

If someone got Legendary Survivor just doing shiroken thatd be pretty disappointing for me...I die a lot with this. Celestial Axe <3..no shroud. ^__^

Sympathetic Visage
Type: Enchantment Spell
10 Energy
1 Activation
30 Recharge

For 8...18 seconds, whenever target ally is hit by a melee attack, all adjacent foes lose all adrenaline and 3 energy.

Famine
Type: Elite Nature Ritual
10 Energy
5 Activation
30 Recharge

Create a level 1...8 Spirit. Whenever any creature in its range reaches 0 Energy, that creature takes 10...30 damage. This Spirit dies after 30...78 seconds.

You SV yourself. LOTS of shiroken melee you and as a result all shiroken in adjacent range lose 3e. Famine starts triggering and they die.

Well I was talking solo..if you are going to 2man anything you could just do Uw.

Anyway..Ive been skillpoint farming shiroken with my mes still..almost 1 mil xp..without scrolls it seems terribly slow in that regard.

Lambentviper · Oct 14, 2006, 04:23 AM // 04:23

damn i just made a mesmer out of a random impulse, but plan on deleting it because it takes up my pvp slot :/ this seems VERY useful..but hell...i dont wannna go through that much of the game!

I might find a W/Me way to do this....or N/Mo with someone else to AV/SV me

Ecksor · Oct 14, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

this is nice, by the way, do they drop Platinum Staves?

T1Cybernetic · Oct 18, 2006, 04:14 PM // 16:14

If you want to mess about a little further and finish off all that are left just stick illusionary weaponry
in the build and have some fun slaying whats left either for profit, xp or just for some extra fun

Arwen Granger · Oct 19, 2006, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Apart from doing the Shiro'kens, you can solo Merki and Kunvie there.
I use a Me/Mo, 14 (10+3+1) in Illusion, 11 (8+3) in fast cast, 12 in prot
ShingJea armor, totem axe and 20/20 illusion offhand.
Prot Spirit, Spirit Bond, Ancestor Visage, Sym Visage, Bal spirit, ess bond,
Conjure Phantasm, Illusionary Wep (elite).

1. Take the right precautions and rush past the Shiro'kens and get to the res shrine. Point is that if your faction is not controlling Harvest temple you'll be wiped out if u die. The Shirokens will follow you but they will mostly leave once you get to the merchant.

2. approach the creeps and back out right away when they charge to you. Sometimes they will kill the Luxon/Kurzick guards but just wait for the fight is over as they will settle back to a location that you can just scrap past.

3. take the lower left hand path and walk up. Usually there are 2 groups of outcasts and a pair of squids. try to time it so that you can run up without aggro them.

4. Keeping to the left side, there will be 3 outcast assasins popping up. run past them. and approach the first group of Shirokens. Cast PS and when they actually hit you, SB. There are altogether 3 groups of Shirokens. Try to aggro them all as only on the first try they will group together - if you die and respawn, you can only at most aggro 2 groups. Try to herd them (especially the rangers) into a tight ball and wipe them out in one go.

5. After finishing off the Shirokens, go back to the 3 outcast assasins. You can nibble them off one by one with Conjure Phantasm using hit and run tactics.

6. Next up the slope of Merki, there is one stationary group of outcast - 1 deathand, 1 ritualist, 1 warrior and 1 assasin. Nibble off the deathand, warrior, assasin and last ritualist with Conjure Phantasm.

7. After this, you can see Merki. Make sure you have both ess bond and bal spirit and full energy. when he's out alone (time it) you aggro him with conjure. Pull him downhill, cast PS and SB, then IW and hit him. If he wields an axe you can kill him otherwise he'll do too less dmg to trigger SB. Make sure PS is on full time otherwise one hit is >200 dmg. After approx 3 IW cast Merki should be dead.

8. Next go to Kunvie. There should be 2 patrols - one group of 3 squids and one group of 4 creeps. Take off the chest piece and the glove (I had fast cast rune on glove) so that you still have 4 beeps in e-regen. cast PS and time it so that you aggro Kunvie's group. Cast SB and pull them out of the patrol range. cast IW And conjure on Kunvie until you hack him to death. I can usually kill that group of dragons except the last one.

Note - if you get killed go back to the start Shirokens that you rushed past and kill them to lower your dp.

So far 1 merki shield and 1 kunvie staff after like 20 kills.
Thanks to Jay who taught me this

pwned, nice build.

[QUOTE=Arwen Granger]

GJ for the merki and kunvie boss route n tricks. I have a few greens over the wkd too

By any chance with the same skills set, do u know how to get to Cultist Rajazan. He is right after kunvie though but i could find a safe route as they are creeps petroling ard plus some oni pops us at some specific area (confirm same spot for oni).

Let me know if any guys know how to get to Cultist Rajazan, thks

Pinghan · Oct 20, 2006, 05:52 AM // 05:52

Finally got around to trying it. Wish I had gotten to trying when I first read the thread. Works like a charm. Easy to run with encouraging returns.
