Any tips on killing the webs, i always get nuked and die. Otherwise Gratz on the build

Edit: Forgot to add that im running this on a rit, so Immolate hits pretty hard, but I'll be sure to grab a fire shield, and a warding weapon for that extra armour, but I should really start a ranger for this.

Just sucker meteor off the them before pulling back to the spirits, rangers have great elemental armour so most of the damage you take is a bit of burning and that will come back soon so long as vamp is up. Terrorwebs without meteors are pretty weak

gw_poster · Jul 16, 2009, 04:51 PM // 16:51

spread out the spirits to avoid the aoe destroying them all at once.....call on one of the webs so fire is concentrated on it - once one falls they are pretty much toast - if you are that concerned bring a pyrebound set (if ranger) to provide more vs. fire armor protection - or pop a cupcake if you find yourself burning to <100 hp

edit: a mercantile summoning stone is nice here too, especially if you are taking up inventory with spare armor set(s)

MisterB · Jul 16, 2009, 09:49 PM // 21:49

Carrying a +10 Fire shield with a Warding weapon can help to reduce damage. Just swap to that set for an easy +25 armor boost. That should cut damage from the Dryders.

Lightning and a Slashing/Shelter set may help for other foes. You'll have to swap a fair bit, but you only need an energy set while activating skills.

edit: Isn't there a recommendation in the first post to use a flatbow, anyway? Dryders shouldn't be in spell range to hit you.

I made a hero team build, to speed things up a little. I noticed that one of the heroes is basically useless, I have to change him to a Monk hero to heal. Or a Warrior to tank with the minions.

Ignore the low screen resolution, I'm watching videos while playing.

The only area where it might have problems is with Dryders, but then again, I didn't have a hero to heal me, only protters...

But heroes kill your drops tho, so it be best if you could test it out wit people

I was using a very similar setup earlier just messing about only without Armour of Unfeeling or Spiritleech Aura. I was just spamming Summon Spirits to heal them lol.

I'll give this a whirl later, looks pretty good.

"The Siege at tsumai Village" quest can be solo'ed in normal mode in 2 1/2 minutes for 2-3 wintersday items by just standing there.

i'm using this build but as a RT primary... having trouble killing the smite... any suggestions?

12 comm
9 resto
15 chann
4 spawn

sig of spirits
bloodsong
vamp
pain
shadowsong
spirit leechaura
armor of unfeeling
summon spirits

when i fight the smites i don't use pain or shadowsong

Black Metal · Jul 18, 2009, 08:14 PM // 20:14

i couldn't kill the smites either, i was using all spirits

Invertation · Jul 19, 2009, 02:00 AM // 02:00

A trick I noticed when I was dealing with smites was pulling them to the edge of their aggro, setting spirits beyond that, and putting a few decoys in their range. You can pick off the smites slowly that way until you get the hang of it.

You need to use pain but don't use shadowsong on them they will heal up a bit removing blind with Mend Condition.

Any tips on the runes/insignias to use to take full advantage of this build. By the way i haven't used my ranger in ages and as my ritualist is my second favourite character this makes a nice change.

DarkCloud Of God · Jul 21, 2009, 07:05 PM // 19:05

I just vanq'd Scoundrel's Rise in 17 mins with no problems. I didnt really get any drops worth a crap. So I tried to vanq The Black Curtain I had no problems with anything out here just was taking a long time and I didnt have long to play. The fog nightmares can be tricky you just need to give them space in HM since they have Grenth's Balance. In the last spot on my bar I took mend body and soul for a heal/condition removal it saved me a couple of times.

Falkin · Jul 22, 2009, 10:17 AM // 10:17

Great build... just used it to farm 15 skelk claws for Nicholas in about 10 minutes

Being · Jul 23, 2009, 03:18 AM // 03:18

Well these own the hell out of my 2 videos. They're by BogusDudeGW from YouTube and in HD quality. You could add them to your original post.

Part 1:RRt Clear the Chamer HD

Part 2:RRt Ice Wastes HD

Part 3:RRt Chaos Plains HD

RRt North Kryta Tengu HM HD

RRt Nahpui Feather Farm HD

BogusDude · Jul 23, 2009, 03:43 AM // 03:43

LMAO damn you was just about to add them haha but thanks anyway, actually found this thread via your video, was originally given the build by a guildie and yours linked when i uploaded the chamber one

Firstly kudos guys for coming up with this build concept, Rangers my orginal and favourite char so with all my titles complete on it this is giving me a great excuse to have ALOT of fun with him aswell as use up some of my stockpile of sugary cons

I've not found any of the farms that actually need cons but they do assist in speeding up things a little

Aswell as the above videos I've also done Scoundrel Rise Vanquish and done a practice run on FoW Forest which was alot easier than i expected. YT's down for maintenance tonight so can't upload that yet, will make a vid for FoW tomorrow night hopefully. Put the continuation of UW on hold until the weekend when i have more time. Will obviously continue making more as i try out new areas that are worthwhile. Which is looking like it could be quite a few areas lol, maybe my ranger can catch my perma sin up for videos hehe

spun ducky · Jul 23, 2009, 05:06 AM // 05:06

I updated the original post with the videos thanks guys and this weekend I will hopefully be able to do another decent sized update with more areas to farm and some 2-3 man farm versions.

I'll also let you know if I find any myself so you can film them. I can think of ridiculous amount of areas to try right now.

EDIT
Ok, maybe my imagination got a little wild. Anyway I did find some not-so-bad & random spots:

HM Yeti's

Cultist Milthuran HM (stay away from the shrine - the Luxon Monk will heal the cultist)

Reefclaw Ragebound HM

Can solo outcasts in HM but they can be pretty hard. I assume NM would be cake.

Lots of Haiju Lagoon in HM (though I think this has already been said)

Mandragor's NM - Mandragor Cakes!

Traveler's Vale HM, just to be random.

And not to forget them 3 Arborstone bosses in HM, in case anyone didn't know.

Verene · Jul 23, 2009, 03:45 PM // 15:45

I used this to farm Avicara scalps for Nicholas the other week, and also cleared out the troll cave outside of Droks a few times just for the hell of it.

Also, just because I hadn't yet done the quest, I soloed the Captured Son quest in Haiju Lagoon. Was awesome
