Im not sure how fast this is compared to other builds, but it does work nicely IMHO. Runs take from 13-15 mins. You kill the first Shadow Army group then tank the way to the Beach.

And how do I re upload the video?

Thanks for the info. Definitely have to try this on my elementalist.

I'm pretty there was a similar build while ago in guru....btw kudos to OP for integrating NF & GwEN skills and test it out... Thanks!

I'm very interested to try out too

possible to do the spidercave aswell?

Akolo · Feb 01, 2008, 06:27 PM // 18:27

degen probably...

Smokestajdh · Feb 01, 2008, 07:14 PM // 19:14

i take it this can farm all of the Shadow army?

EDIT:

Ok mabey it cant i just had a 2nd look at it

o.0.
Wauw this is pretty awesome, now I can get shards with my ele, without being hard^^

Smokestajdh · Feb 01, 2008, 09:40 PM // 21:40

getting shards in my opinion is better than ectos, ive had 5 shards in 1 run with my warrior build, and usually 1 ecto, + it takes nearly the same time

Skale and Dryders dont drop shards so your only luck is with the Driftwoods. IMO its better to just farm the cave for shards.

makosi · Feb 01, 2008, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Very cool. Can it be done in HM, too?

eiri yuki · Feb 01, 2008, 11:44 PM // 23:44

could this build farm the spider cave if you where to use aura of restoration instead of radiation field?

Its not about the shards when you kill skales its about revenge man. Im pretty sure all beach farmers have done the warrior one and have been killed because of those degening bastards. Sometimes its nice to just take steam off and kill the skales for giggles.

Yes this run has been done before, by Why_Me.
No, it doesnt farm the Shadow army (except the first mob to the right)
because of the monks. Can any build farm them?

I tried spiders with Why_Me's old build a long time ago but couldnt out damage their heal. I dont farm FoW with other professions yet, but I heard that pulling them into one group and standing near them will prevent them from using it? Of it that just because they get interrupted via cyclone axe/tripple chop/whirlwind attack? Technically there are 2 free spots, maybe one can be used to heal, and the other for glyph of concentration. I havent tried HM. And I didnt know that only the driftwood drop shards...Makes me want to focus on my warrior more.

Only dryders don't drop Shards, everything else does.

And spiders don't use healing spring when they are balled + you are standing next to them.

Mister Mentalist · Feb 02, 2008, 08:53 AM // 08:53

I'm pretty sure Skales don't drop shards. Not everything on wiki is right, plus I think this is recently added since I remember checking wiki back in the days and it said Skales didn't drop them.
I've never seen them drop any shards anyway, and I've killed ALOT of them

tuna-fish_sushi · Feb 02, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

I'll wait till i see a screenshot before i believe skales dropped shards, I farmed alot of em for revenge...

lordbabo · Apr 24, 2009, 07:56 PM // 19:56
