Thats sucks, I made a video for Full IDS run and been uploading it on youtube for about two hours now... just to find out that it wasn't being uploaded because of stupid maintenace! Kind of pisses me off, I just wasted 2 hours waiting around for it to be done, now I gotta re-upload it. But anyways, IDS runs are faster than ever with the Silver build. I actually got my first IDS drop... Sliver slices through Ice Imps like butter.

Very nice run ReZDoGG, I haven't gotten an IDS yet but love the farming run. It only takes about 10-12 minutes to run to the cave and kill all imps inside.

Update: Added new video for IDS Farming. The video is a full HM run for IDS Farming, from start to finish. IDS Farming just got easier and faster...

Check it out here: A/E Master Sliver of Swiftness - Full IDS Run (HM)

Nice vid man.

In the middle of farming on a variation of this build the other day in GoA....drinking beer...while in the middle of a huge mob group....needed to pee....went....came back....kept on farming.....

It's that good.

As a fan of Sin since release of Factions, my main since, it's good to see some good vibes going around and yet I still feel it's a pity so many Sin players have worked so hard to get where they are, including the nerfs, to only to have these buffs happen.

Yes this build and variants are awesome but the amount of Sins running around atm is laughable and it's totally cheapened Sin titles that, up till the buff, were hard worked for and involved actual skill and a heck load more time as opposed to the current infi-SF.

After getting so much grief for being a pure Sin main it's ironic to suddenly see the amount of Sins running around high-end farm zones presently, especially after getting so many flames for playing the "broken" or "stupid nOOb naruto" class.

Funny how if a class can suddenly farm like a 55, etc, etc or better it's suddenly "acceptable".....

Heh....Guild Wars...

Running to Mineral Springs can be faster without going all the way around, just go to the first left you see.

Add the tengu in northern kryta. In hard mode they can drop up to 20 feathers at a time it seems, that's about 500g at the trader, plus they scalps can be salvaged for feathers. They drop lots of runed armor too. There's usually a couple tengu bosses there too.

Update: Added new video for more areas to farm, and I also added a ranger build for hero that can be good for dualing some areas. Enjoy

A/E Master Sliver of Swiftness - Misc. HM Farming Part 3 (NEW)

================================================== ========
Dual Farming (Hero build/s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ranger (hero): This is a simple FS build that can be useful for farming places like Stygian Veil with enemies that use resurrection spells. I threw in EoE which might help in some areas, but of course you will need an AoE damage/degen skill for yourself to get enemies health down below 90% in order for EoE to trigger. Anything can be changed to fit your dualing situation. Toxicity and Pestilence are good when using Viper's Defense for places where degen can be effective against enemies. Be sure to flag hero, disable their skills, and pull enemies into range of spirits.

[build prof=R/mo bea=11+3+1 wil=11+3 exp=9+1 box ][edge of extinction][toxicity][pestilence][predatory season][frozen soil][succor][rebirth][no skill][/build]

In Nebo terrace you can kill the Bog Skale Icetooth, Tengu and the undead rangers (the elementalists have touch skills) plus any grasping ghouls and Hellhounds.

For farming MASSES of heket, get Desperate Measures quest in Forum Highlands. Kill hekets with boss, rezone and repeat. Just don't complete the quest or kill harpy leader.

Dark Escape and Feigned is enough to survive acouple blast. But if you notice how I moved around in the video, and sometimes pulled enemies away from corpses... I was doing that to avoid Putrid as much as possible.

Evera · Jun 11, 2008, 05:43 AM // 05:43

I really, really like this build.

Well, it was just my idea, but if it works with few hekets, it should work with masses. If that doesn't work, you can try those skrees. But i suggest to a)take hero posted above or b)kill those monks who use [skill]renew life[/skill] first. And again i may come up with ideas, but doesn't change the fact that i don't have assassin.

E: If you find a decent way to deal with [skill]mystic twister[/skill] you could farm The Battle of turai's procession quest too.

Stuart444 · Jun 11, 2008, 09:28 AM // 09:28

I have not tried to use the glype of swiftness/deadly paradox/Shadow form with my sin yet, I think I might just try that out and test it later today ^_^ using this build as a starter for farming (starter incase I find others that work just as well)

I will start by trying the raptors in river earth^_^

I used to do this last year sometime, pre Perma [shadow form].
I used my assassin with SF, and fire bomb build and took a R/mo hero with [lacerate][brambles][edge of extinction] and a couple of monk skills [protective spirit] in particular to defend against the spiking margonite dervish thingymebobs.

Yup, good build for Mindblades, its the one I use. But this Sliver build is meant for all kinds of other farming if you didn't notice. I don't bother making a video for UW, as its not the most effective one to use for Ectos... althought it still works fine. Could probably still do a full Mindblade run in bout 40 minutes, since Sliver needs to hack through the Bladed Aatxes first before you can kill Graspings.

oliverrr1989 · Jun 13, 2008, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I was wondering...can the PvE skills in this build be substituted? I want to start farming on my sin, but I really don't want to go through EotN just to get the skills

You can do it without the PvE skills, but be aware that the Ward, even at a low level, will double or more the effectiveness of sliver armor. Air of Superiority is not required at all, just very handy for the occasional skill recovery.

Also, see the UW farming thread for A/E, which uses no PvE skills.
