Nice build there, have had to modify like others (too lazy to get to fire islands for HH just now

).

I chose to use VS like some of the other guys. Only 2 attack skills i took were Quivering Blade (E), which is really quite good at a cost of 4 adrenaline and final thrust for the coup de grace. 5 or 6 successful runs through now, no drops as of yet but i agree with Stee's comment about the fact that if it drops easily then the value/rareness factor drops easily as well (flints fleshcleaver anyone?).

Nice work on the build setup Stee, tis good fun to play around with. I found i had more trouble trying to kill one rit by itself than i did a whole mob of jade brotherhood, due to weapon of warding. My solution to this was to sit back with it on the edge of my agro circle and shoot with my bow, causing it to chew up a bit of energy using channeling spells on me rather than healing itself. Did that for a bit, then switched back to melee gear (grognars sword/strongroots shelter in my case) and went in for the kill.

You can try bringing disrupting chop and disrupting his weapon of warding when he's not holding the ashes that make him interruptable. After that its easy killings^^

Edit: Tried it today and got it on my first try XD turned around and sold it XD

Also got 2 rare armors and 1 rare cane while I was getting to him O_o

I found that you didin't really need healing hands.

Eviscerate
Executioner's Strike
Flurry (Tiger Stance is really bad against the ritualists)
Disrupting Chop (Get's those stupid rits and their weapon of wardings)
Dolyak Signet
Vigorous Spirit (just as good as healing hands, doesn't take up the elite slot)
Mending
Sprint

Used this build today, got it on my first try =)

I sold the one I bought for more than I bought it for, so I might keep this one =)

Unless someone wants to buy for 80k =P

The build is great since I'm an axer, I might have to try balths spirit instead of flurry, however flurry was great for fast health too from vigorous spirit.

Stee what I like about your build is that it is rock sollid, gets the job done nicely.

Stee you're the man, after reading your build there is one thing that really cought my eye "KNOW YOUR ENEMY"

I really strarted applying that to all my builds and if you know what the boss punches out you can counter it fairly easy.

Keep up the good work guys, only sad thing is that it is getting fairly hard to sell the staff now but that was not my aim in the first place. I got one for my necro

so I am happy. If I want some fun I do this run, otherwise there is still a whole world out there also to keep you busy

Have fun all

Thank you.
This stuff is really alot like anything in life. The more you know about it the more successful you will be at doing it, so if you know what your enemy is going to do to you then you will be better prepared to counter.
Now its time to work on a solo build for Sunreach's shield. The problem with him is his group that always pulls with him. This one will be a little tougher to figure out. But the challange is why we farm.

Gj,I got my first green on my frist run =D

LoL yea that is why we farm not so much for the drops but for the challange

I have never posted a build on here because my builds are all medioker builds and most of them is posted somewhere on guru, but I will give Sunreach a go and see what I can come up with

I have looked at the different wardens and so far I can already see that the Rits and the Mesmers might give you some problems because of the skills they are using but there must be a way around them

Will let you know when I have a build and then we can tweak it and see what happens

mrcake · Jun 14, 2006, 07:02 AM // 07:02

Build also works on lian dragons petal outside market place in waijun bazzare, who drops lians lantern.
Need to kill the group of 3 knights first, then try and make lians group chase you all the way back to the portal for market place, as when you get close enough to it they will stop chasing and leave you alone, which leaves a nice bit of safety if you are getting in trouble.
Try to get the knight in the group to come to the bottom of the steps, then run upto the side wall of the steps by one of the pillars so you are shielded from the casters so they cant hit you.
If you have been lucky you can sometimes make the ritualist not follow the group but if he did run up steps and kill him first, then the other 2 casters, then finally lian.
I find on quite a lot of the runs sometimes after killing the knight the rest of the group dont bother attacking so you can just kill them at leisure.

Where to get the knight

Lian

she seems to drop just as bad as ghial though, havent had it once yet

Stee Janz · Jun 14, 2006, 01:54 PM // 13:54

Cool. Another boss goes down. Good job mrcake.

2ndName · Jun 15, 2006, 05:39 AM // 05:39

I got my staff on the 2nd try. Did the same and sold it for my last piece of 15K armor.

But I do notice nowadays that there are tons of these staffs for sale in Kaineng. Prices are still up at 65-80K tho, not sure if people are buying for that much anymore.

Dr Ripley · Jun 15, 2006, 07:36 AM // 07:36

Nice build Stee (my compliments to the chef). Tried it a few times and he dropped it for me as well:

Aldryn · Jun 15, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

woops, nvm.

I Rule!!!!!

Bhaaltazar · Jun 24, 2006, 03:09 PM // 15:09

heh tried it like 30+ times.. still no drop.. i kinda gave up hopes to get it...

Stee Janz · Jun 24, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

I find that sometimes it takes a while to get a drop. Then you get it like every couple of trips.

Oznog · Jun 24, 2006, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Question:

Ballpark, how long does each run take-once you get it down that is?

Thanks.

Oz

Stee Janz · Jun 24, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

10-15 minutes

Wang Fu · Jun 24, 2006, 09:06 PM // 21:06

Awesome build, although it is harder to sell the staff then to get it >.<

popohim · Jun 25, 2006, 07:06 PM // 19:06

Thx for the solid build. I was able to get 3 staves in about 30 runs...Decided to keep one for myself and sell the other 2. The price is pathetic in my region.( Taiwan)

When I got my last staff, Ghail was generous enough to drop it together with a Sup vigor. HEHE

rathor · Jun 25, 2006, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Good build, my first run took a while but I got it done and Ghial generously enough, dropped his staff on my first try. The hardest part was selling the staff

.

Also, if Ghial decides to summon his golem, try to lose aggro of Ghial and his golem and then come back and see if you can aggro just his golem. This worked for me and i was able to pull the golem out of Ghial's aggro and come back to kill Ghial without anyone by his side. The best place to pull him is past the first and the second bridge, about halfway to that tengu market on that rooftop/ramp place.
