Ty for posting. Iv tryed almoust evrything here and i must say that you must rlly be gd or lucky cos i dont know how you kill those mesmers outside pogmei.
Its imposible ,they can even take away hexes and all those interrupts. Kirins ,do you fight one at time ? Cos 3 of em kan outdamage ps,mending.
Even with parasite its not enough,plz explaine...
Even those Yetis are big probs ,not w or rangers but those rits they rlly do alot of dmg.
The one farm worked fine for me and its naphui, if you put in defile flesh for those rits or your dead rlly fast and nice drops too. It sucks that i dont have my monk here,maybe im just nooby necro/monk.
Nice jobb you must be rlly great with necro

I'll have to post pictures tomorrow, build is similar. I use:
16 blood
10 Prot
8 healing
rest in soul reaping
[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Healing Breeze[/skill][skill]Spirit Bond[/skill][skill]Spoil Victor[/skill][skill]Vampiric Gaze[/skill][skill]Mending[/skill][skill]Essence Bond[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill]
Leave from Aspenwood Gate, Luxon Side, into Mount Qinkai and take a left, uphill, kill lots of yetis, kill Ranger Boss [wiki]Chehbaba Roottripper[/wiki] then move east along the northern edge of the zone to [wiki]Tomton Spiriteater[/wiki]
Watch for traps, just don't move in to grab loot untill you can safely cover yourself with ps and hb as well as have enough energy for a second hb after for poison. At Tomton, I aggro bubble from beneath the cliff to draw the warrior Yetis down to me. After killing them get as many of the others from underneath as you can (just SV, don't even need prot spirit). Then go on up and kill the rest at will.
Edit: here's a movie which I just noticed that I did in regular mode, but it's about the same in HM, no surprises.
Movie
Loot: [wiki]Spiriteater[/wiki] merchant bait ;P, [wiki]Chehbaba's Longbow[/wiki], Elite Ranger and Ritualist Tomes. The ubiquitous tons of tanned hides is all that you can count on though sadly.

Great Builds there but i was wondering how much do you make a run because i thought scince the loot scaling you couldn't make alot from solo farming. Also how long do some of these runs take.
Thanks

Then when SoA is 75% recharged cast PS, then Shielding Hands (back to back)
This combo uses less energy than PS+Breeze+Mending and you also gain a PIP of energy regen. The best thing about it is you can aggro as many things as you like because all damage will be reduced to zero.
Good luck!

Care to come up with a variant of that which CAN cope with a moderate level of degen? The most I can deal with is two pips... and as everyone knows, any degeneration condition has 3 pips...

... Yes... Yes it does. If anything it works better.
The point of all this though was to allow Necro-primaries to farm...

best Ive come up with is
[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]Shielding Hands[/skill][skill]Spoil Victor[/skill][skill]Life Siphon[/skill][skill]Watchful Spirit[/skill][skill]Essence Bond[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill]
Obviously it involves a lot of skill spamming in order to keep the regen flowing. Also obviously you'll need to kill the degen givers first. Not easy mode ;P

Insidious parasite helps a LOT with degen. So does Spirit bond. Just off the dude who's degenning you first.
EDIT: Life Siphon does work, but its a 3 second cast spell and foes frequently have one or two hex removal spells, so you can't count on it as solid regen. I've tried in more than one ocasion.

this is true, but if they can remove life siphon, they can certainly remove the less spammable IP. It all really depends on the foes and area which works best.

Essence Bond is useless on any SoA/SH based build...
I've been using a similar one with both Insidious Parasite and Life Siphon... and it works fairly well to a certain extent... but if there is too much degen then it just tends to get me killed before I can Siphon enough enemies...

#1. Suffering is a hex, not a condition...
#2. Do you seriously think I'm going to use a build reliant on Spoil Victor in an area with rampant hex removal? ¬_¬ ... Their removing Life Siphon would be the least of my worries... seriously...

A-Net probably mistook you for a bot.

I thinkyou are wright... I can't find the thread where RAND posted, but he found a way to solo urgoz, he didn't post his build yet, but he was doing it.
So I think you have a point in that 1

If you got banned undeservedly, send a ticket to Anet support. Back to farming discussion, please.
