tryed the build with only stoneflesh aura cause i havent gotten that far into nightfall yet to get stone striker but stonflesh aura, instead of replacing troll, can replace kinetic. I didnt use kinetic once and just kept up aura and was taking zero damage. this makes the build much more managable. with just stoneflesh i was able to not only kill the original groups with ele's but also was able to kill any group without a monk (pretty much the beach). Cant wait til i get stone striker and can take on all of FOW!! MUWAHAHA!!

Unlock for PvP and then buy it in kamedem? Thats what I did for both stoneflesh and striker.

Really? Thats interesting. The warriors too? Now that I think about it, everything but the Shadow Warriors deal below 33 damage. Good find.

Thank god! I was gettin sick and tired of playing through nightfall and the skill person for stone striker was all the way at the end. To think i played nightfall all day tryin to get there when i just coulda unlocked in pvp and then bought in Kamadan

:Edit:
Just tried with stone striker and you can still cant kill the groups with monks because silver armor doesnt want to target them before the warriors. I only tried this in groups of 4 (2 wars, monk, beast) and everytime it targeted the warrior. Dont know how many you would have to aggro and how little monks would have to in that aggro for you to actually kill something without the monk(s) bein able to heal em. So still stuck farmin regular patrols and the beach. The beach is a lot faster to farm tho with stone striker, so its not a complete waste. Still cant do spider cave because they interrupt me.

Even doin the beach, i dont think this run is too profitable because i have yet to get a decent drop on the beach. I get more shards from the few shadow/skeletal groups im able to farm then the whole beach. And gold drops werent happenin either, plus shards are droppin in price. Id love it if someone was able to post an ele solo uw build. that would be awesome. Ectos ftw.

55 Ele
Very interesting one, you need a +1 20% prot icon for it to work.
E/Me Renewal magnetic aura

If you dont like those, improvise. For example:
Glyph of renewal
Sliver Armor
Sympathetic Visage
Ancestors Visage
Armor of Earth
Kinetic Armor
Stonflesh Aura
Channeling

Just use the wand the nightmares trick, and it should work fine. You shouldn't be taking any damage from anything.

Or:
Kinetic Armor
Stone Striker
Mantra of Earth
Stoneflesh Aura
SV
AV
Searing Flames
Aura of Res or Power Return, depending on whether or not you are taking damage

Thats just off the top of my mind, but should work, enjoy!

vampireX · Nov 09, 2006, 12:27 AM // 00:27

sweet, thanks. i'll try those out later.

Tarkin · Nov 09, 2006, 04:30 PM // 16:30

sadly shards prices are so low these days... good job i use the same builds that i think by myself... but i see by your first post date you make it before me... before the great update i usualy work with a 3 man team very fast and avoid being dead.. but now with the great update...

Doesn't stone strike allow you to aggro any enemy because it turns all damage into earth and therefore energy from storm chaser.

Yes, Except Shadow Damage, Smiting damage, and anything else that ignores armor totally, stoneflesh aura does decrease from then, but stone striker doesnt turn it to earth.
Also, Are there any interrupts in FoW? If so then what, so i know what to avoid.
Thank you in advance
Edit:Not smiting, Meant Holy

Ether breakers = Cry of frustration
Skeletal impalars = Distracting shot
Armored cave spiders = Savage shot
Mahgo Hydras = Meteor shower if you stand in it
Abyssals = Earthshaker + inherent KD ability
Doubter's dryders = Shame + Guilt combo if you cast through it
Rock borer worms = Choking gas, concussion shot

Except half of those are spells, which you are immune to.
I finished a nightfall beach solo video, gonna upload now...

Added to the list of solo builds

Good job

The very first post says something about NF variations at the bottom. What is the skillset then for those who want to use this build?
TY!
BTW amazing work

Why_Me · Dec 06, 2006, 10:21 PM // 22:21

Adding a Nightfall Section for finalized build/builds.

Alien Bobster · Dec 07, 2006, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Oh, that's my wooden buckler! Well, Very Good Job! Awesome build! Since this build isnt any of those 55hp ones you steal and modify one attribute point, this is a real clever one! NICE JOB!

Hyprodimus Prime · Dec 07, 2006, 10:13 AM // 10:13

Took me a while to find the farming forum (its my haven now!) lots of cool stuff, but this has to be the best so far. So much synergy, its beautiful. GJ
I think this is where ill have to focus next, the FoW. Ive done, mob farming, green farming, running, UW, and now trying out the FoW. Course all with me ele.

Koning · Dec 19, 2006, 09:49 PM // 21:49

First of all, this rocks!

I've been down to FoW couple of times now, and it's fun to take those groups down not being 55. BUT, annoying thing is not being able to take down monks. How uber sliver armor is, it alone cannot take down groups with monks (if you have less than 5 enemies in a group, which is most of the time). I think this build might need some more damage. I tried aftershock, but even than you don't do enough damage to outdamage them.

Also, taking down the skeletal groups with the bonds and berserkers with wildblow is annoying, because the beserkers remove your serpent quickness with wildblow (even with stoneflesh aura) so you have to be lucky that sliver armor targets the ether breaker or ice hand in that group and takes it down before obsidian flesh ends.

I haven't tried the beach yet (it seems pretty easy in that video

) but I went to the burning forest. Didn't came very far because I couldn't outdamage the smoke walker monks (had a group of 2 smoke walkers, 1 hydra, 3 skales). 2nd try I decided to overaggro and I had like 6+ skales, 5+ hydras and 3 smoke walkers on me. Tanking them is easy, with armor of earth + stoneflesh aura on you only take 0 dmg (the inferno from hydras is only 9 dmg), and with an aggro that big sliver splites through the enemies, but after i killed some the monks were still standing

Other than that, I'd like to know how far you can get in the forest, cause I think the spiders can be very annoying with their interrupts (stoneflesh 2 sec cast

)

Bloodied Blade · Dec 20, 2006, 01:40 AM // 01:40

I think as long as you can actually *get* to the forest, you'll be fine. From what I've read (unless they've "fixed" this) you'll be fine as long as you don't have caster weapons...apparently that's how the AI recognizes what is and isn't a caster.
