Curse

DSC : Drazach Speed Clear, it's the name of this new farm, kinda like UWSc ;p.

Rentability : 17k / 12-15min is a good run, 20min for a beginner run. (17k = in the faction, then 34k is the title).

How does it work : Just take 8 players, and do 4 teams of 1smiter and 1 600hp. They will all take different paths called left, midleft, midright ou right.

Where can I get a group : in Eternal Grove, that's the place where everyody goes. This build was created by french player, then they meet and group in french district if you want to join them.

You need:

4 smiters :

They all use this build which is quiet classic :

Template code : OwUTAnH7YKlIVkh4kQeIkAfIfAA

More experimented people can play with a hero, when nobody's looking for a group :

Template code : OQNCE8wj8QoGSwH5j42JRmA

The smiter must have 16 in smiting prayers and 16 in protection prayers. Usually, the 600 prefers the monk to the mesmer because he can use UA if you die ^_^

4 600 :

The 600 needs some PvE skill to kill the healers which are hard to kill without. Finish him and the ebon vanguard assassin is a good choice.

Template code : OwAS8WIT1DRE3VaR7ixk6DAE

Builds can change : some people use pain inverter or radiation field...

The 600 needs to have the lowest armor of the game (5 or 15) in order to take damages for prot spirit and spiritual bond.

The run :

Left :

Left is known like the easiest path. you just have to follow the left wall and kill the groups you meet.

N.B : there is a N boss and a random pop of oni.

Midleft :

It's a bit harder. The midleft has to clean the center, and to kill Chkkr, the ranger. You'll have to kill only wardens and mantis.

Midright :

That's my favorite path : no boss, and only wardens groups. It's the best, after the left, to begin and to learn the run.

The path is a bit hard : when you see the stairs, clean the warden group down there, then get up with the stairs, and go left.

Right :

The harder path : you have to kill 2 bosses Rt, which have very troublesom spirit : disenchantment and dissonance. You'll just have to pull them, and kill them far from their spirits.

The ennemies :

Wardens : there are many differents wardens, but you won't like the Rt (they heal very well, you'll have to use the assassin and finish him to kill them), the warriors (they KD you) and the mesmers (don't forget SB or they use Cry of Frustration and Shatter Enchantment).

Mantis : nothing special about them, the elemantalists have maelstrom, and the monks are good too (you'll need again your assassin).

Plants : the easiest mobs, they are warriors most of the time and they use primal rage then you'll kill them fast. They always are with an elemantalist or a ritualist Gaki.

Onis : those are really troublesom, just use SB when they pop or they'll cast Shadow Shroud, and then you're dead ^^

Main difficulties :
- The monks who doesn't want to die.
- The spirit of disenchantment.
- Have SB interrupt by mesmers.
- Don't see the Oni pop.
- Oni pop on the smiter >.<

Foundable skins :
- Ornate shield
- Echovald Shield
- Amber shield
- Dragon kamas
- Gothic skins... (shield, axe, sword...)

Good farm <3

Thanks again for the guide. Even though it was already posted I'm sure lots of people missed it. So thanks for the reminder.

Cheers!

I still appreciate all of the work and effort put into this. Thank you very much

MuC · Apr 06, 2009, 02:15 PM // 14:15

Max attribs on 600 ftw?

Bof · Apr 06, 2009, 11:40 PM // 23:40

Its the same as every other 600. 14 divine 12 prot... unless you switch it like I do.

Snoes · Apr 07, 2009, 09:59 AM // 09:59

Too bad most people to mqsc

Meteor rain · Apr 07, 2009, 12:44 PM // 12:44

Best way is: Cut 1 smite and 1 600, than place 2 RoJ's, this will speed it up. In ~15 min it can be done. I'm doing this with my ally too

. Mostly middle doesn't take RoJ.

Avatar Exico · Apr 07, 2009, 11:31 PM // 23:31

Is this farm really can make 17k Faction. Mean damn that alot. probaly get the the title maxed with this method in like week.

talldervish · Apr 07, 2009, 11:56 PM // 23:56

it takes 55 straight hours of doing it so yeah you can actually get it in less than 3 full days....that is if you are with 7 other psychos that can not sleep

MercenaryKnight · Apr 08, 2009, 04:07 AM // 04:07

Is it possible to get into a group without the smiter having the 1 pve shout? I really wouldn't mind upping my kurzick ranks to try and max them with this but I don't have the necessary shout.

It takes all of 5 minutes to get...

If you are unwilling to invest even that to set up a build...nvm, I dont have a comment sarcastic enough.

fb2000 · Apr 08, 2009, 10:59 AM // 10:59

Oh come on, that dumb skill doesnt make or break the build in any way..The smiter only needs 4 skills to work - By urals hammer defo isnt one of them. And it does take a bit more than 5 mins to get (still, not a huge problem tho), provided you have GWEN in the first place

So yeah...

Without that, it can be done in 10-15 mins most of the time..

You can replace one of the teams with a Ritualist variant:
[Lily's 600Rit DSC;OAOj8whM5QWMEP1DaR7i6DhE0DA]
[Lily's 600Rit DSC SB Smiter;OwUTMGHD5Iip8k5DfyDgyEA]

Just to bring some color into DSC profession options

Katyia · Apr 17, 2009, 09:10 AM // 09:10

Just a minor update regarding the smiter according to your 600 lvl

The build posted supposes that your 600 has been running the build and has no particular issue.

For monk that have mana issue but are not often dead, you can switch By Ural's Hammer and UA by Bip and rebirth. If your 600 likes to die then just replace BUH by Blood ritual and have 3 in blood. In this case swap your headpiece with a divine one + 3 divine.
