After Exuro Flatus in Domain of Secrets you can head east and kill Shakahm the Summoner (Rit boss), usually doesnt have a mesmer with him.

Sweet, although i don't know how far in the game should i go to get to Domain Of Secrets. I'm still stuck at Sunspear Sanctuary and boundaries.

The other 5e scythe mastery skill i was using is "Rending Sweep".

I just soloed Mhta Sharptooth with my level 16 dervish, with this build.http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mahto_Sharptooth

So i guess you can add him to the list.

Ecksor · Dec 24, 2006, 12:12 AM // 00:12

He's already on the list

novawhiz · Dec 24, 2006, 03:58 AM // 03:58

I'm guessing that you put up your enchantments with mystic regen last and wait for it to recharge. Go in, let the mesmer shatter it, put it up quicky, and kill him. For dual mesmers, I have no clue.

thats what I thought. I tried it, but I must have messed up.

I tried this build and it sucked...

Just kidding

I tried it and it rocks, definitely a powerful farming build and also much more fun than some of the others I've tried. I have stats, skills and equipment as listed in the OP. I'm still having trouble with healers (such as the beetle queens), especially if they're alone. They can almost out-heal my damage, and it's much easier to kill them if they're with a bunch of other enemies (such as termites) because she'll heal them instead of herself. I have the same problem with diamond djinni, they have high armor and heal themselves frequently so it can take forever to bring one down.

I farmed the Hidden City of Abiwhatever a few times. There are indeed large amounts of empty space where I seem to remember seeing mobs last time I went (a few weeks ago). Pretty weird.

Oh, and I'm using a vampiric scythe. The added damage and life drain is nice, especially since you can usually attack three enemies at once because they gather around you. I only need Mystic Vigor when facing large, challenging groups, such as 5 djinni or a group of bugs with a boss. The health degen isn't a factor in combat since you'll have like +20 regen from Mystic Regeneration, just remember to switch to something else when you're not in combat.

Sundering 20/20

Customized for ME!!!

I'm gonna hit up FoW when we get favor with this. Might switch Reapers Sweep with Vow of Silence and Mystic Vigor for Victorious Sweep, depending on how things go.

.:AON:.Grunt · Dec 31, 2006, 06:53 AM // 06:53

Great build I was just able to kill Eshim Mindclouder with it...

Diva Signet · Jan 01, 2007, 12:00 PM // 12:00

Tried this build in FoW....first monk killed, got a shard.

But anywho...having problems killing that inevitable lone warrior at the end...not enough energy to spam attacks, and heal sig heals him. Any suggestions?

Also, is it possible to kill groups with Shadow Mesmers in them without Vow of Silence?

Victorious sweep would probably not be a good idea...130hp?

vow of silence could help solo UW if you can take out the dying nightmares fast enough. Also watch out for the ataxe interrupts...could require precise timing.

Forgot about that

Soloing UW with this wouldn't be that effective, since smites would be very annoying with their healing/SoJ.

after reading everyone posts on how well tey are doing I now want to smash the PC up. All mine does is stay alive, they cant kill me and I cant kill them. Serously.

Staying alive isnt the issue, its dropping the buggers. Knowing my luck there was a patch and its nerfed everything.
before you ask im useing suli's and a crafted sundering sunspear 10% enchant sythe

Humm, what bosses are you trying to kill?
Did you check for any monks around the mob? If there's more than one, you'd probably will have an extremely hard time trying to bring down the mob, boss included. If there's just one monk, always go for him/her first, and locate yourself in such a way your scythe hits more than 2 targets, so you get properly healed, and also apply enough damage to keep the monk at bay.

I always look for any monks around mobs i want to farm, separate them in case of two or more, and kill them first always, then i go for the boss. Works all the time. Got my few greens so far, which i'm very grateful of. Thanks Ecksor and Etrik, no i have some change to live decently in Guild Wars. Also, i like this farming build more and more every day.

So I've been easily farming Wandalz the Angry (except for the fact I have to fight the kournans with henchmen) but I've been wondering if I'll still get the green if I take the henchmen and heroes off the radar. Does anyone have first-hand experience with it? I don't want to end up wasting my time. By the way, great build

If they are off radar, you still get 100% of the drops, but it's not a 100% chance that the boss will drop his green.
