Theres a possibility, but it seems very hard. Spectral agony makes it annoying. Mursaat Necromancers seem like they would cause MAJOR problems. Mesmers can interupt you, and esurge you. Since theres monks, they may be able to outheal, especially if theres 2 mesmers in the group. Thunderclap could also make it very annoying. Other then that, it may be possible.

You're in the Dasha Vestibule mission. I suggest you talk to the Key of Ahdashim in the outpost, he will teleport you to the explorable.

55 IW mesmers can do it so it probably would just take some minor tweaking

You can use any armor, since PS will not let you take more then 13dmg. BTW, max armor costs 5k+mats, not 25k.

And iirc, the 55 IW used SB, which got nerfed.

Actually I'm not. I did talk to the Key and there are no cobalts or behemoths in the explorable city as there were in times that I visited before.

Nope, salvaging the essences isn't senseless. I have salvaged a sapphire from a sapphire dijjn essence. It is just a rare for that to happen. I probably salvaged close to 100 essences before one salvaged into a gem.

Oh. I haven't been to taht side in a week, so it may have been changed. My bad then.

OK have to ask aswell Immolated is a pain not so much the skrees just die once and keep moving keeping your PS MR and MV up and just limp your way out of agro only stopping to cast your above mentioned skills but then ....

My problem is the energy drains the roaring ethers suck me dry....is this one of thoose to take hero's and hench finish of the roaring ethers then flag the hench etc of radar and go for Immolated I can see how I withstand his attacks so not to worried about actually taking him on.

Nokkers · Dec 20, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

i expert salvaged a ruby from a ruby essence...i've only tried it once and decided to stop while ahead

CRAzY KeeSTeR · Dec 20, 2006, 04:35 PM // 16:35

drop a few xtra points into smiting and u can use defenders zeal for energy management
its definately harder thna the normal build but if a person doesnt have prophecies this and zealous vow is all they got
i think this is better than zealous vow tho

anyone know if this will work on the acolytes?

JDStrider · Dec 21, 2006, 11:11 PM // 23:11

I doubt it will. Im pretty sure there are kournan seers mixed in with them and they use shatter enchantments, etc.

RebelHero · Dec 22, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

lol acolyte of grenth... one enchantment murdering machine...

Hello people, one question.....nightbringer is nerfed or vanished?

Etrik · Dec 22, 2006, 11:26 AM // 11:26

I soloed the Aco of Balth yesterday. Used henchies to kill the one seer that was in the way though, then got em to go off-radar and killed the bastard

.

Edit: Nightbringer is in Floodplain. He was a duplicate spawn (Floodplain + Marga)

Acknowledgements
Allow me to thank you guys, especially Ecksor and Etrik, for you guys made it look so easy thatn even a farm noob like me can get right into action and perform decent in my first few runs. No green so far, but i'll definitely keep trying, off the coast of Kourma, btw. I'm not farther than that in Nightfall yet.

Intro
I just got GWN 2 weeks ago, and now that i tried the Dervish, my char has become second favorite after my SS/SV Necromancer (yeah, SS kick so much arse that i can't imagine taking that off my skills bar for good) And this is my FIRST time solo-farming ever. I've dual farmed UW and FOW, but never soloed anything, and by all means i'm no farming expert either.

Campfire
Well, i tried, as first target, the suggested place posted by Ecksor in 1st post. Landu Bay was the name? i guess. These are the stats of my beautiful Dervish chick (Diane Of Dalmasca):

Weapon: a max purple scythe, no enchants exp. can't remember all stats, but once i get on the game again i'll update all details.
Armor: Kamadan's (starters)
Runes: just all 5 sup Dervish ones --> HP: 130 E: 25>>>>
Attributes: Myst 10, Scythe Mast 14, Earth Pry 13, Prot Prt 9
Skills: Protective Spirit, Mystic Regen, Mystic Vigor, Mystic Sweep, Heremite's Attack, Random scythe mastery 5e attack, Balthazar's Spirit, Essence Bond.

Yes, no Reaper's Sweep yet, haven't cap'd it :'/.

Lore
Well, so i just went outside and followed Ecksor's suggested skill secuence. Then faced a few inscet mobs to get the feel of it, and surprisingly enough, i was killing everything around me in no time, although a few times i lost track of PS and died, so i focused more on status monitor. After a few mobs i was getting a sweet timing and pace, getting better results when 15 DP displayed.
By this time i had the assistance of a farming friend, who helped me a bit to storm the place at first. Then i tried alone.
Then i went after bosses, being Chor the Bladed the first victim, and for my surprise, i could handle him pretty well, despite my basic farming knowledge, skills and stats. Lunto Sharpfoot also died but it took me a while, since i couldn't do much dmg, this due to the fact i don't have enchant extenders, hence PS wears off too soon, and my energy managing is not good yet. Well, my point here is that i could still bring those bosses down, even for a noob like me. Sometimes i had morale boosts and i could handle well anyway. I will definitely keep practicing and learning from you guys, since i found this new build to actually be really fun to play with, very clever. I still have to improve my build, i don't have the elite skill, nor a enchant ext scythe, but i could definitely make it work, no matter what.

Again, thank you guys for this awesome build. I just hope it doesn't get nerfed soon. Really, kudos to you guys.

Reaper's Sweep is easy as hell to cap.

I caped it with my level 14 dervish with some henchies no problem.
The only reason I cant try this build is because im not level 20.
