You'd probably need not only Spellbreaker for the Mesmers.... but a second person using Greater Conflagration to shut down Order of Apostacy... >_<;

Why not take 1 hero with Great Conflagration with you?

They'd probably inadvertantly attract aggro and get themselves killed.... and yet they'd need to be close enough to cast Greater Conflagration in range...

Not only that... but the spirit itself could get killed quite easily...

About the only thing that would be truly immune to that sorta stuff is an Assassin's Shadow Form.

maybe just use the ele skill stonestriker which conversta all enemy damage and your damage to earth damage? OoA wouldnt work then :P

lennymon · May 08, 2007, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Mo/E
12 earth
split the rest into divine/prot
key skill: [skill]Stone Striker[/skill]
u can use sliver armor and nuke their bosses
damn, I hadnt refreshed the page, Fauna beat me while I was testing, anyways, it works.

edit: of course that still leaves the issues with the rangers AND the mesmers... BHA and drain enchant ftl

SotiCoto · May 08, 2007, 04:13 PM // 16:13

If anyone can actually make a Mo/E that can solo the Constructs (except Monks construct, ironically) and demonstrate it to be readily workable... I'd be mighty impressed...

... and naturally I would start using it... as I really like the Kaolin gear! ^_^

[Random thought: a Mo/E with Earth elementalism could use Obsidian Flesh rather than Spellbreaker to avoid the Mesmer castings... right? ... So theoretically that would free up the Elite slot for something heavy-hitting?]

mazey vorstagg · May 08, 2007, 05:10 PM // 17:10

obsidian flesh is an elite, so no. sry.

Nkah Sennyt · May 08, 2007, 05:16 PM // 17:16

Obsidian Flesh is an elite, so it would still use that slot.

[skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill]

Xonare · May 09, 2007, 08:54 AM // 08:54

But it only gives you 18 sec +20% longer then they can still remove your enchants in those few sec's when you don't have obsidian flesh...

lennymon · May 09, 2007, 10:13 AM // 10:13

Heh, ironically for the afflicted in HM a shadowform/sliver probably is the optimal choice... may need to get your loot after to res though lol

I tried narrowing the skills for mo/e some more yesterday morning, glyph of concentration helped a lot since you *will* be dazed and *won't* be able to remove it. I actually laughed when I got interrupted using purge conditions. The degen is the killer now. Can easily take any group without a ranger or mesmer. Of the two though strangely, the mesmer is refreshingly easy if you spam and target them first even with a fast recharge/super fast cast drain enchant...just keep spirit bond on top as best you can and roll the dice ;P

From other things, I farmed Sand Elementals this morning got few golds but nothing special, I encountered 1 problem, their dmg sometimes pass throu shielding hands while it is up and I dunno why, but it does, not always - sometimes it happens and is a bit irritating if you see a bunch of 10 elems on you all got like 1/10 their hp and you die -.-

vespertine · May 09, 2007, 11:40 AM // 11:40

you have to cast prot spirit before shielding hands..

Rangers causing the trouble now?
There is a certain irony to that... v_v; ...
The afflicted clearly are NOT meant to be farmed under any circumstances.

lennymon · May 09, 2007, 04:42 PM // 16:42

It IS funny that my first try there was no afflicted ranger or mesmer spawn, and the boss went down like a.... um... sack of potatoes, yeah. Never again. I always have gotten a ranger after that.

I had already posted the Sand Elemental farming build in the front page

Thnx though!

Sk8tborderx · May 10, 2007, 01:15 PM // 13:15

Witte, since essence bond gives no energy when you take 0 damage, you might want to take zealots fire for some extra damage in the sand elemental build.

Shielding Hands does not mix well with Shield of Absorption or Spirit Bond. Having either of those overlap with SH can cause it to not work. I'll bring either SB or SoA to use in the few seconds that SH is down. Be patient and wait until your standby enchant ends completely before casting SH again.

Guys, if someone posts something dumb, don't quote him with something equally as dumb. Just let it be reported and move on.

Destinyy · May 18, 2007, 06:57 AM // 06:57

Agreed Nkah, and I was one of the guilty ones...

Witte, your guide has inspired me to do something similar on my local GW site in SA... Will give creds where ever I can... Nice one my man!!!
