Flesh Golem Skill - Guild Wars Forums

Jerrodh · Oct 05, 2009, 07:16 PM // 19:16

I'm wanting this for some hero builds to try and ease me a little bit into the game. I'm pretty impressed with the skill and having a few of them around will definitly help me through some PVE. I'm pretty new to the game and found the location of the skill to be a fair amount into the factions campaign. And I don't feel like creating a necro in factions and playing up to there so whats my other options?

I thought Bathlazar faction if thats the best. If so how should I get it, Hero battles well seem out of the option because I tried a few last night and everyones just got these perfect builds and I dont feel like getting 20-60 faction every 10 minutes trying to get to 3k

Can't u just buy an item to get 3k faction how much does that run? if its ever avaliable?

whatever your main character's profession is you can change its secondary to a necro and get an elite skill capture and cap it on ur main character,

as for the factions part you can do Zaishen Elite, or as you said you can buy Flames of Balthazar, which sell for like 1-2k.

If you want to unlock it with B.Faction, JQ/FA aren't that slow.

And unless you typed it out wrong, it seems like you believe you get more than 1 golem, but unfortunately you only get a max of 1 at a time.

SpyderArachnid · Oct 05, 2009, 07:56 PM // 19:56

Like Chronos said, you only get 1 Flesh Golem at a time. If you try to summon another, it will kill off the one you already have.

Best way, is hop on a toon that has already made it to the location of the boss and change their secondary to Necro. Then just go get a cap sig and cap it on that toon. Then buy yourself an Elite Necro Tome and learn it. Been awhile since I played, so not sure how much they go for. Believe about 8k.

Otherwise, JQ/FA are good ways to earn rep with Balthazar, but you'll still need to get an Elite Necro Tome to get the skill after you purchase it anyways.

So either farm the rep, or use an alt to head out there with necro as their secondary.

He mentioned heroes. Will Livia summoning a Fleshy kill off Olias'? (An honest question, I've never tried. Always manage to find an MM elite that works just a little bit better)

Johny bravo · Oct 05, 2009, 08:06 PM // 20:06

Each character can only create one flesh golem at a time. So if you have 3 heroes all equipped with it then they can all create one of them.

The skill itself is not as good as other elites that can be run to enhance a MM type build. The Golem very slow and in HM goes down quite fast anyway.

Yeah I realize that I play with my girlfriend in PVE most the time so between our own heros and such we can have a few golems. If I can make some useful builds up to six total.

If you have played through Factions and completed the Nahpui Quarter mission you will find yourself in the Senji's Corner outpost. Here you will find Senji who can change your Secondary Profession for a one off cost of 500g.
Once you have done this you can equip a capture signet and leave from Senji's Corner to find Ghial the Bone Dancer in Xaquang Skyway.
If you haven't completed Nahpui Quarter you can see here about how to change your secondary profession: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Secon..._profession s although I assume you can't be far away.

To clarify a bit - if you have any character that is at or near where you can capture the skill, you can get a cap signet for that character and go cap it.
First, save your character's current build as a Template. Then change the secondary of the character to Necro (you may need to go to a profession changer to do that.). Go cap the skill. The skill will become "unlocked" and be available for all Heroes for all characters. You can also then get it for any other character by using an elite tome.
When you're finished, simply load in your previously saved template to change your secondary back to what it was. (You can also change secondaries by using a drop down list in the skills window (K), once you've gotten them.)

You may also want to look into getting Jagged Bones.

willo the dark · Oct 07, 2009, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Another option would be to purchase the skill pack (factions for this skill) which will unlock all the skills for your account, you would still need to use an elite skill tome to learn the skill for your character, but it will be available for your heroes to use

Zaishen Challenge provides an easy 2k balth faction every 24 hours. You can invite a healer henchie, fighter henchie, and mage henchie. Against the illusionary weapons team these three henchmen can hold their own, allowing you to AFK the fight or help speed it up by fighting.

Jerrodh · Oct 07, 2009, 11:05 PM // 23:05

K thanks for all the tips guys, I found an easy mission for the balth faction but all the other info is great too!

Chthon · Oct 08, 2009, 01:56 AM // 01:56

Best bet would be RA. Unless you are so amazingly awful that you affirmatively handicap your team, you can get 3k faction just by chance over the course of an evening or so.

That said, Fleshy isn't a grand skill. There's nothing wrong with it per se, it's just that the other elites outshine it. For human minion masters, Order of Undeath provides enormous damage, much more than Fleshy. For hero minion bombers (the AI can't handle OoU or BotM very well, but they excel with Death Nova), Jagged Bones fits better with their build than Fleshy. Even Discord (which I've said repeatedly is quite mediocre) gives more bang for the buck than Fleshy.
