Solo Sin farming at ToA? - Guild Wars Forums

OmenWings89 · Mar 31, 2009, 02:34 PM // 14:34

Ok, this is going to sound odd, and I'm not entirely sure this belongs here or not XD But it is a question and I'm seeking an answer!
So..well anyway, I recently had my account hacked and I got it back just a few days ago. I thought the person would just strip it and leave it, but it looks like they were trying to move in or something? They stripped the runes off all my other characters but it looks like they set my sin up for farming. Covered her in different runes, got her some different weapons, new skills and got her out to ToA. When I went on to her to check what damage was done, she had 61k and 4 ectos on her.
I did some googling and found a while ago that there was a time sins could farm the UW solo, but they nurfed it? I watched some videos and looked at some guides but the build being used in those wasn't the one my sin was set up with, and it must work to some degree if they were able to get 4 ectos with it? I can't imagine they'd want to transfer something like that over so they much have just picked them up when they were shut down?
Just to save time sake this is the build:
Glyph of Swiftness, Deadly Paradox, Shadow Form, Burning Speed, Bed of coals, lava font,Glyph of Lesser Energy, and Fire Attunement. Her energy is 56, health 405, Shadow arts 16, deadly 3, and fire magic 12?

Is this even possible? And if so, how do I use it?

It's the farm that was nerfed. It still works, but you kill less enemies than before, and it's not as profitable as before. I haven't done it myself since the nerf, but I guess you can pick one of those guides you found, and follow them, making a note of which enemies will kill you.

looks like the chaos wastes build, and yes its still possible only not as fast anymore as like it was before the nerfhammer hit it.

I don't see the Frigid Armor to make you immune to burning though in the build. which normally was in there at some point

I think if you look under the sin farming section you will come across this one.

The build you have sounds like it's for UW Chaos Planes and not Tombs of the Primeval Kings. If you want to keep the UW Chaos Planes Farmer, I suggest switching [[Bed of Coals] for [[Frigid Armor]. So:

[build prof=A/E fir=11 wat=6 sha=12+1+3 dead=2][Glyph of [email protected]][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form (PvE)][Frigid Armor][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Burning Speed][Fire Attunement][Lava Font][/build]

For Tombs of the Primeval Kings:

[build prof=assass/mesme shadow=12+1+3 inspiration=12 deadly=3][Deadly Paradox][Arcane Echo][Shadow Form][Spirit Of Failure][Channeling][Ether Nightmare][Cry of Pain][Viper's Defense][/build]

thanks so much everyone! ^.^ I'll be nice to make back what I lost and then some, my monk lost both sets of her armor in his runes hunt T^T

Just a tip, if you are discussing farming in a thread it goes to the farming section of gwg, that's all you need to know.

Just watch as a mod closes or moves this thread
