What is my plan Farming Scar eater
Prerequisites Staff with 20% mod and a dagger with zealous tangs. I switch when needed and 16 shadow arts and 12 earth. Max energy is 63.

Builds I have used

Shadow form
Death charge
Glyph of elemental power
Sliver armor
Ebon hawk
Obsidian flame
Dark escape
Recall
Problem I am maintaining my perma wonderfully, however sometimes I get killed somehow, I don't know how. If only we had history details in GW. Anyways I DC on scar eater when I have sf on and hit Geop SA and OF before anything I get killed

Glyph of swiftness
Deadly paradox
Shadow form
Glyph of lesser energy
Ebon battle standard of honor
Sliver armor
By ural's hammer
dash
Problem I am maintaining my perma wonderfully, but there is not that much damage going towards Scar.

Any advice is appreciated

Uhm, only those come to mind:
Not enough damage on scar: is sliver targeting the boss? are you aggroing enough mobs?
The reason you might get killed: there are few skills that affect you even under sf, some gaki will cast destruction and if there are bondless minions (i.e. a kirin created some minions and you killed the kirin) the arc lightning cast by dragon moss on a minion near you may damage you too.

Really... does obi flame and ebon hawk help? It's like 150 damage reduced by 33%, if sliver doesn't kill it, those won't.

Warp to him, use the second build, and just aggro more.

If you are talking about the scar eater in DTSC then permas kill him all day every day in german style dtsc. (diplomat role)

just wiki the build and pull him a bit from his spirits btw for sliver targeting. you can kill him all you want but you might as well join german dtsc and have faction for your effort.

-Glyph of Swiftness
-Deadly Paradox
-Shadow Form
-Glyph of Lesser Energy
-Intensity/Ebon Battle Standard of Honor
-By Ural's Hammer
-Sliver Armour
-<generic shadow step or speed boost>

^ THAT is all you need, sliver armour will always target the monk boss first if you're doing it correctly.

Remember, using NM will make foes attack slower than in HM, thus making it hard for the 1st cast of sliver armour to kill the boss.

Oh yeah, and that bosses unique item sucks.

Yasmin I think your right, I have been trying to warp to the guy but I can't seem to get the flow right from the start. I perma up, run up to the guy using dash then press those magic glyph, urals, ebon then sliver but I got some problems. I switch on time and such but I can't seem to get sliver to affect scar near vasburg armory...

I have been trying to get monk elite tomes.

Never had a problem with scar eater. Very easy boss to sliver.

Are you at least grouping them right?

Try aggroing as much as you can then rush to him.

flapjack · Jan 28, 2010, 05:14 AM // 05:14

woops my bad. you are right, i was talking about the other rit bosses. I just zoned out of vasburg and slivered (scar eater) him down no prob. are you doing it HM? maybe if you are trying NM or something it is more difficult but i cant see any problem as he went down with one sliver in HM.

I just published a little video on youtube showing the exact way I do it. The vasburg armory is a pretty huge outpost and it always annoys me when I have to spend 2-3miniutes running back to the explorable. So you can use shadow of haste to litteraly kill the Scar Eater once every miniute (ish). Really great for getting those tomes.
My skills are Glyph of Swift, Deadly Paradox, Shadow Form, Urals, Intensity, Sliver, Shadow of haste, Dash.
The quality got killed on youtube so its kinda hard to see, but watch my skill order exactly and its as easy as that.

EDIT: Oh yeah, hard mode is pretty vital not just for killing but also getting the tomes, haha.

Ebon battle stand + sliver are enough to kill scar if you aggro the 2 nearby groups (i.e. you have 3 groups attacking you) so something like this OwZSk4PTSf8I6M4OID5i8QNQ (http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Special:PvXDecode) works perfectly: cast gos, deadly, sf, aggro the 2 groups near scar (using dash/dark escape/shadow of haste+dash makes it faster but you could do without ofc), shadow step or run to scar and cast gole (not really needed if you want to kill only the boss though), ebon and sliver. Usually shadow stepping helps with making sliver target the right thing but you shouldn't have that problem with scar eater.

EDIT: btw, you shouldn't require daggers for this run, but make sure that when you are casting sliver you are wielding a weapon with +20% enchants (the best option is just to keep the staff the whole time)

ok i dont get this - every scareater run i do as perma sliver it targets scareater straight away and he dies on first sliver.
He`s one of the few bosses ive farmed that ever do that - even shatterstone gives me problems as i rarely get first lock on him.
Sliver targetting i dont understand - some say it targets the lowest ar foe which at times it does but you do scareater and shatterstone and it doesnt - shatterstone is ele so same ar as scareater also has same foes.
Daggers i wouldnt use - kirins have tainted flesh ( think its that one ) and you end up being poisoned/diseased

thanks bill and yasmin

Shadow of Haste is a fun skill but since you are just farming the one boss then you might as well save yourself some time and just press "M" and click on Vasburg when you are done

But as was demonstrated in the video you can take just about any bar with sliver and kill the boss etc
