Curse

I've been a little bored so I thought i'de try to come up with something different for the Titan farm outside LA. I'm hoping for a solo/duel farm for Warriors. I'll explain a little..but here's what my ideas have lead to so far...

Resilient Was Xiko -Ritualist Resillent Weapon -Ritualist *not sure which is better*
Illusionary Weapon -Ritualist
Feel No Pain -Warrior
Flail -Warrior..adren gains minimal but no downside compared to other att buff
Doylak Signet -Warrior
Mending Grip-Ritualist.....maybe seems to fit
Wielder's Remedy -Ritualist...maybe the key to a chain to make it all work...
Generous Was Tsungrai -Ritualist. Healing instead of HS/LC
Elemental Resistance -Mesmer- Great defense to hold out (trued a build using it, not much luck)

The Illusionary Weapon works wonders due to you being blind 90% of the time while fighting, the problem is staying alive. I have full Sentinel's armor and a +7vs ele sword with -3 hexed/HP60 hexed shield

I tried a few different ideas with W/Mo style for energy gains http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Balthazar%27s_Spirit and condition removal for blind http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Smite_Condition and hex http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Smite_Hex which worked in NM for the most part but only against 2-3 Titans at a time..nothing more.

I know I know.."who cares about a warrior doing this when you can 55 it with SS" Because I just wanted to try something new and i'de like some in put from some people out there with solid build ideas.

Hmm... [VwK] maybe?

Feel No Pain
Norn maybe?

Icy The Mage · Feb 22, 2009, 04:12 PM // 16:12

I don't think they heal, so VwK would be pretty good, couple it with Dolyak Signet and the like, spamming Vengeful Weapon when it's down. Do it just like the smite crawlers

Mega Storm · Feb 22, 2009, 05:13 PM // 17:13

I thought about VWK, but I don't think it'll work too well considering the vast majority of what the Titans do is cast ele hexes and conditions on you..not too much attacking from them. That's why I thought Illusionary Weapon would be the major damage output here. Slow yes, but effective as long as the rest of the build will keep you alive during the fights.

Also most of the skills you have said are mesmer, are actually ritualist

yeah, right now you'd have to be a W/Me/Rt. not gonna happen bud.

What exactly are you hoping to get from farming DNKP? I don't recall it having any particularly neat drops.

I believe they drop Magma Shields.

I would say this is the main reason and the titan armors for runes/unid's.

The list of skills are for different build ideas I was having for doing a solo/2 man farm for the Titans, so yes there is a mix in there just to post where my thoughts were going to be able to find something that worked. I listed them all so others could maybe see where I was heading, and possibly find what I am missing in the whole "it's gotta be a warrior/something solo/2 man build"

The drops are mainly inscriptions/runes and other random drops. The whole idea is to find a way to get warriors into this farm since there are monk and necro versions of this solo farm.

It's not an overfamed area for the most part, and if the build can be figured out, maybe we can have a new place to farm as warriors.

I listed some monk/mesmer/rit skills to give the people an idea of what is close to working for this and hopefully fuel some new ideas. Thanks \m/,,\m/

I do believe there was a warrior version or 2 posted quite some time ago like when this quest was new that used illusionary weaponry. I think it was by lambda the great or someone else like that. It has been so long I have no clue anymore but I know the elite was illusionary weaponry.

W/Me worked before the armor cap. Duo build would be easy with a bonder. There's also a 600/smite CoF variant for warrior; you may be able to adapt that here. Might try:
[Defy Pain][Armor of Sanctity][You are all weaklings][Sand Shards]
something like that, with sand shards for damage. W/Rt VwK may work if you keep them out of spell range and tank their wand hits.

I like this path the most so far...I can see Mystic Regeneration in it working prety well also. There are a few types of AOE damage skills that are just great enchantments for Derv also..hmmm

Good call sir this needs more looking into now.

MisterB · Feb 22, 2009, 10:16 PM // 22:16

I keep forgetting the silly [Hundred Blades] update. That skill damages on attack, now, so it won't matter if you are blind. You just need to find a way to tank the damage.

It is allrdy known to use IW to farm those titans but if you figure out the build by yourself good job

When I used to farm them they didnt drop anything good - a gold rune was the best drop

Added:

I checked the build I used and it doasnt work anymore because I used ele resistance + doylak + watch yourself

yeah, that was what I was using, coupled with IW. doesn't work anymore tho, anet nerfed the W completely imo. ele and sin tanks are far better atm

Sorry just wanted to see the skill proposals =)

EDIT: OK, as recommended earlier [hundred blades][whirlwind attack][sun and moon slash][enraging charge][wary stance][balthazar's spirit] might work well on a warrior with [Flail]. So a bonder seems necessary to some extent (necro with [mark of pain]?)...

[Wary Stance] is useless here; no attack skills because the targets are primarily elementalists. A bonder may not be necessary, but it would surely make it easy.
