u can use paradoxcombo look :
paradox
arcane echo
SF
SoH
run in
unleash combo
SF
unleash 2nd combo
SF
unleash 3rd combo
attack a few times
teleport back

SoH should teleport you back cos it will end before your last SF does GL and HF

P.S. wisp me ingame for a really fast build where i can kill 1-2 guys in 1 shadow form

You mean http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10098485 build isn't this one what darkrawlingson posted on this thread? Yeah maybe they're different builds but the thread here is posted by darkrawlingson, as is this thread too. So I'm not quite getting whose build is not whom

Going to try this again tomorrow, haven't been down ther for ages!

I've seen this build on Wiki along time ago. I used to use it to farm some bosses in factions, and also tried it in numerous places. But the build is limited and takes along time to kill a group. Killing enemies 1 by 1 is a bit tiring.. It gets boring pretty quickly. best just soloing uw for ectos. Can get 1-3 ectos in a 12-20 minute run depending on which build u use. I personally use the E/Mo Savannah Heat build. I got around 90 ectos within a month of farming here and there...if you were to go hardcore farming uw, you can easily make a 1000plats in a week or two. Only thing different about this build from wiki is you dont poison, since some monsters dont have flesh.

Great build I have to say, I just finish TOPK with similiar tactics (with a monk hench as buffer) and equip myself with Recall instead of SoH. I manage to complete it under 4 hrs.

Heres my setup:

(p/s: my Dunky only lvl 18)

My Skills:
1. Empathy
2. Black Lotus Strike
3. Death Blossom
4. Black Spider Strike
5. Shadow Form
6. Arcane Echo
7. Deadly Paradox
8. Recall

My combo: (Recall on Monk b4 engaging)
7 --> 6 -(w8 5 sec)-> 5 -(charge in)-> 1,2,3,4,3 (1st target) --> 6 --> 2nd target --> 7 --> 5 --> 3rd target --> recall back

Normally I would kill 3 targets under 1 minute, but sometimes maybe more with Death Blossom AOE if you make it right

Succor from monk helps alot with energy management, and lvl 16 strength of honor gives you extra 11 dmg, I was able to kill a wurm or a darkness under 1 minute (3x SF).

I was able to complete TOPK on 2nd try (I forgot to cast recall on 1st try and died in the middle of the mobs that my monk cant rez me

)

(Ignore Talkora, I brought her just for extra buff, which seems useless. I sent her far off while engaging Darkness

)

3 drops, not too bad tho

Thx to the creator(s) of this build.

Cheers

Does anyone know if the build Mister O posted is nerfed?

Picuso · May 23, 2007, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Nerfed? Why?

If he posted the build yesterday, I don't think that it's nerfed ^^.

Thanks Mister O. I need to try that ^^ (I need to find other skills for Dunkoro U.U)

I did it 2 days ago, and I did it again last night in hard mode and complete it around the same time as normal mode. There is no problem fighting mobs. Empathy took them out fast since they attack faster. Wurm can still be killed in 1 round if timing is right, otherwise 2 rounds will do.

Might have a bit of energy trouble vs bunch of grasping of insanity tho, since 'fear me' -6 energy in HM.

cheers

No need to fear "fear me!". It takes adrenaline, which I'm pretty sure they wont get against SF.

Thanks for posting the Hero Recall build, I'll have to rebuy the runes and try this again.

Shade Griffin · May 24, 2007, 03:02 AM // 03:02

Ahhh...still new to these forums, didn't see the little "yesterday" thingy. I never can tell with ANet and their crazy nerfing sprees though...

Thanks guys

Mister O, what daggers are you using? That looks like a fun variant to try in hm, thanks for sharing

would you mind spelling out the monk's skils please?

They uses 'To the limit', which gives them adrenaline to use 'fear me!'

The healing skills on Dunky are optional actually, BiP is to help you regen faster.

Btw, my daggers

I reckon Xuekao's or Arius' will do too, zealous daggers of enchanting would be ideal

Ectos drop alot these days

Picuso · May 24, 2007, 03:58 PM // 15:58

I've tried Mister O's build (I'm in TOPK now

) but I can't kill the Wurms... I'm able to semi-kill 1 wurm (it keeps his health ^50%) with 3 SF...

What am I doing wrong? >_<

At last, I killed the 2 wurms... But I needed about 10 SF per Wurm T_T

For the popup wurm, estimate the area it gonna popup, Paradox+Echo+SF then go in. Eventually it will knock you down and appear (you should have your 1st SF duration ~ 1/2).

The wurm will start using Wary Stance and then Irresistable Blow to cancel it, then use the combo chain. Repeat the step 2 more times and you will kill it before your last SF ends. Make sure the wurm cancels it stance before you start the combo chain.

Btw, the trick wont work if you dont have lvl 16 Strength of Honor on you.

Picuso · May 25, 2007, 08:58 AM // 08:58

Oh... I have lvl12 SOH... I need to buy some things to Dunkoro xDDDD.

Thanks ^^

EDIT:

Do'h! >_<

I was so close... 3 enemies and 3 wurms left to darknes... T_T

I need help to kill those "shooter" wurms... >_<

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this build!

20k gold+items, 5 ectos, 5 lockpicks, a few tomes and a haul of crafting materials in the last two days - and I've not been past the Chaos Worms in Scarred Earth yet

This is the first solo build that I've been able to get working for me - I found trapping with my ranger slow and tedious and *very* error prone, and have not got my monk, necro, or ele far enough to get the elites they needed to start farming with them.

This build has the benefit that you're actively fighting (more interesting than trapping) and that you're only killing 1-2 creatures at a time, so are *not* triggering the reduced drop rates from killing too many things at once. It's also easy to learn, and the elite & skills needed are easy to get . It's perfect for Hard Mode, and each run up to the worms is netting around 4k in gold + junk saleable items, with the nice stuff thrown in on top of that.

Thanks a heap!

Edit: Is it still possible to kill the Chaos Worms in Scarred Earth with the build on pg 3 (i.e. solo with no smiting hero)? I've been able to clear everything except the 4 chaos worms, but every time I tried them they'd drop to 1/2 health before SoH ended, and were fully healed by the earliest time I could get back to them.
