Curse

A Simple Farmer · Feb 27, 2009, 03:40 AM // 03:40

So I made a new character as I was getting a little bored with Slaver's Runs. The survivor title was taking forever as I suck and couldn't punchout in HM

, so I made this little build. Didn't want to res an old thread, so I thought I'd just post this. Nothing new, nothing special but worth sharing I think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[build prof=r][melandru's resilience][ebon escape][/build]
Or
[build=OgMS8Y8SDH3lrE3V1DyDAE0l]
Monks
[build=OwQT0ynCv4OYUep8gxTfiEA][build=OwQT0mHD35O0FlHpkDS8QfQTAA]
[build=OwQT0mHD55O0FlHpkDS8Qf8PAA]
Just make sure there's 13 in prot. (my templates are messed as they are non lvl-20 builds, so change em before you use em.) You have been warned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use
Casting the enchants on you is the most important part of this run.
1. Have each monk cast [[Balthazar's spirit] on themselves see screenshots. (left of [[blessed signet])
2. Have one monk cast [[Balthazar's spirit] on you.
3. Have all monks cast [[protective bond] on you.
4. Have all monks cast [[life bond] on you.
5. Have all monks cast [[essence bond] on you.
6. Have all monks cast their remaining enchant on you.
7. Double check the bonds by hovering your mouse over each monk's maintained enchants.
8. Keep up Melandru's resilience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XP seems to be capped at 700xp per kill, so I used slayer's insight scrolls 750xp clipped to 700xp
so for the math...
1,196,900xp needed to get survivor from lvl 20
700xp X 60 foes = 42,000xp per run.
1,196,900xp / 42,000xp = 28.5 runs to max title
1 run takes about 3.5 to 4 minutes (I was slow and methodical, probably could be done in 2-3min).
28.5min x 3.5min = 99 minutes or an hour and thirty nine minutes, but with a reasonable 3min run the time ends up 1 hour 25min.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lot of redundancy built into this one. Better to be safe than sorry when dealing with survivor.
Could probably use any profession. Just sub [[healing breeze] for [[melandru's resilience]. Try with another Character, ie I tried this run with my Mo/Ra to check everything worked...
Hire a runner from Sifhalla.
watch the zone on Bjora Marches, the mandragor can insta agro on spawn.
Double check your enchants before agroing.
Watch where you flag, don't go so far as to loose your enchants!
Keep up PS just in case :-)
My connection tends to jump around a lot, so there's a lot of overkill. With just [[melandru's resilience], you can agro 2-3 groups at a time np. More with [[shielding hands]+[[shield of absorption]. Which synergizes well with Rampager Scrolls as you can constantly keep up the scroll.

You really want to break GW dont u ASP... Izzy will disable your account one day for learning GW beyond his understanding. And he will cancel any preorders of GW2 you're gonna get.

Gz man.. thats rediculous lol. You can like. Run Leg Survivor O.O... for lets say 50k.. in 1:30h not bad :\

KZaske · Feb 27, 2009, 05:15 AM // 05:15

I am impressed, congratulations.

Pleikki · Feb 27, 2009, 05:26 AM // 05:26

Wow, thats not bad indeed, too bad i dont need any more survivors so i cant try it

**Marty Silverblade** · Feb 27, 2009, 05:45 AM // 05:45

Nice.

PS: 99 mins isn't under 1.5 hours.

king_trouble · Feb 27, 2009, 06:08 AM // 06:08

Well, this just ruins the fun of getting a legendary survivor character...

Joseph Spiritmaster · Feb 27, 2009, 11:43 AM // 11:43

Nice job, how hard was it to get from Sif to the Vaettirs, how was the run?

-P.s: need to figure this out for my rit....

Anwyn · Feb 27, 2009, 12:02 PM // 12:02

nice for a R/Mo... I got a Me/Mo, I suppose I could do the same thing hey? Oh, another thing, how far do you flag your heroes?

NVM, I just saw them in your mini map...

Lotsa glacial stones dro too I assume? I want em gloves for my Para...

Great Job ASP!

Now if we can look for something for any prof and we can let kilroy rest for a while.

Been looking about your build... seems like you use protective bond (5% damage) shared between your 3 monks which renders -1 (or -1+1 with another bond) so they "dont loose" energy after all.
Then my question: why do you bring prot esp? (curious huh! :P)

Just asking how to do it with a paragon... and i will be happier :P.
Need to calculate how much regen you will need to counter its hex.
Maybe being x/mo with Healing Breeze (same 10ener as Prot esp), bonds and Feel no pain can be done?.

We all know that FNP can be adquired just by pushing the piggys without done anything more

. You need to get the main quest first but... could be.

Even without FNP....

Am i terribly wrong? :P

zwei2stein · Feb 27, 2009, 12:09 PM // 12:09

Impressive Speed!

(For Rit i would suggest using VwK as elite. Run is easy - you just get someone to run you there. It's quite cheap.)

faraaz · Feb 27, 2009, 02:01 PM // 14:01

So what professions would this work with you think? >.> Apart from your Ranger.

Mustache Mayhem · Feb 27, 2009, 03:33 PM // 15:33

thats really cool idea.. never thought of using the keg guy for anything

yeah redundancy.. else survivor roid rage! =]

Spiritz · Feb 27, 2009, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Gj - it would be faster without heros due to them sharing xp but given that not everyone can do it solo due to chr limitations its damn gd tho.
Btw even if its nothin new or impressive - usually these things are better than the impressive ones as it gets the job done.

Feraz - keg bombing is done by perma sins tho im sure there are others trying diff chrs to get same results and so far Simple Farmers got in first.Im workin on a monk version which i got ideas for but not actually tried yet - need to research more before i try it.
