Is there a certain rank reccomended for EBSoH?

XzDazedzX · Jun 15, 2008, 06:26 AM // 06:26

AoE, touch and all that jaz will get through SF.

Spells like Lava Font and Meteor Shower hit you if they get cast on another target...such as the terrorwebs casting on some nub that runs into the aggro during a HM UW run.

Personally, I think that massive takedown in higherend areas (burning forest in FoW and everything but smites and charged darknesses in UW) is better done with an A/Me.

If anyone has any questions I feel pretty seasoned with a A/Me...so feel free to PM me.

Happy hunting

It is simply the higher the better. Each rank adds 1 second to the duration and 1 damage; but even at rank 1 it is an extra 6 damage per hit and an eleven second duration which will last for the majority of the time you have sliver up.

A/E Sliver and A/Me Radiation Cry of Pain are both great for farming, each one has its own advantages/disadvantages. Sliver is great for places where you can gather alot of enemies together, and good for against enemies with heals. A/Me is great for places where degen can killing enemies easily. For example, A/Me radiation really not effective for farming FoW spider cave, but Sliver is pretty good... A/Me probably can farm Spider Cave a bit more thorough, but it would take a long time when you can only take 3 spiders at once. Conditions against Spiders are also not so great, as they have pretty good regen... Not really tested, but I have tried A/Me for Spider Cave once before. A/Me is great for farming the Shadow Army Rangers, Abyssals, and the Beach. A/E Sliver can still farm those same areas, but might take alil longer, but of course Sliver is great for taking on as many Cave Spiders as you can pull.

I also was one of the first few to use A/Me Radiation build, as the creator had showed me the build one time in ToPK (few months before it was released here on guru). I don't think he knew how great the build was outside of ToPK until I told him about the areas I had farmed with it. I took it to as many areas as I could think of, including UW. So I got pretty comfortable using the build with many variations. I used it for quite awhile and was very impressed. But now with A/E Perma with Sliver, it is possible to farm way more places, and farm those places where A/Me was not as effective. In the end, both builds are great to use, I recommend getting experienced with both of them.

I don't get the whole stupid A/E vs A/Me mentality.

Its on the same freaking character slot, and as easy as pressing K, click on the drop down menu, and load.

Maybe some people are too cheap to pay 500gold for a Mesmer or Elementalist secondary, and a couple more Platinum for the skills?

Learn both, so you can use whichever is more efficient for whatever you want to farm.

I use special variation of this for farming at the chaos planes:

OwZTkY/8ZS6jHRnBZgHKX8usBCA

It's the same as your sliver one except I use dwarven stability and dark escape to outrun the charged blacknesses. I use it to farm ectos.

Yeah, Dwarven Stability is great for keeping up Dark Escape. If you run quickly through Twin Serpent's without stopping, you won't have to aggro any groups of Charged Blackness, as I mentioned in your thread.

You mean Charged Blacknesses, right? Just to avoid confusion.

Nice ecto, but would it hurt for you to resize your screenshots?!

nub question, but can I only obtain the 'intensity' skill if I am an Elemantalist primary? Just wondering as my primary prof. is Assassin :P
cheers

ProgTes · Jun 17, 2008, 05:04 PM // 17:04

No, you can get it no matter what your primary profession is as long as your secondary is Elementalist.

A Leprechaun · Jun 17, 2008, 07:46 PM // 19:46

How good/fast is this build at farming the FoW spider cave? Better than W/Mo or W/R?

Ok, I'm sure I'm not the first to accomplish this, but I was able to clear the entire ToPK including the Darkness with this build in about an hour and a half. Most of the run was worthless but I got 3 ectos on the way, a couple golds, and it was seriously awesome getting 6 green drops at the end even if they're mostly useless these days.

Made up for all those failed runs back in the day with lame PUGs and, even worse, getting to the end and seeing other guys get 2-3 greens and me not getting any

The run was pretty easy, I found the key was not to agro too many Graspings at a time since they use "Fear Me" to drain your energy. It also helps to know where the Wurms spawn as an untimely KD can cut you short.

Good times!

Just an idea, double Eotn points this weekend so a good chance to get your Ebon Vanguard rank up a bit

Dark Paladin X · Jun 25, 2008, 03:47 AM // 03:47

I tried doing the run to the falls in HM, but there are a lot of scarabs that uses [vampiric touch], can you give any tips to handle these little buggers and what path I should take to avoid them?

It was not really tested, but just an Idea. I am sure it can be done. Maybe try it in Normal Mode? They do drop in NM right? So HM shouldn't matter for getting the greet to drop... You could definately do it in NM as you will beable to shake off any enemies fairly quick. Maybe I'll give it a test run and report back.

You do get more greens if you do this in HM.

No. Same chance, but in HM you could get an elite tome or something else as well.
