i was bored and tried a bit with my new monk today...
this isn't new nor innovative but very easy and not too slow in hm

Aatxe need 3 rounds of SoJ and Graspings 1-2

That might sound very slow but it's easy and safe as hell.
so for all who can't manage the mo/n build in hm this might be a solutuion

Tried out the HM mergoyle wavebreakers with necro/mesmer combo...worked awesome with Mantra of Frost, SS and Insidious parasite...and arcane echo if you feel the need...super fast..thanks for the great builds and places!

I have just a question, I tried some of the builds proposed here and I realised I didn't drop anything (on 20 monsters, just one pack of 102 golds and some basics loots) and this in every places tried (UW, FoW, Dragon moss, Mino, ...).
Even though, I tried some bosses with a Rt spirit spam, I made nearly 50 bosses in HM, and nothing drops, no green or elite tomes (henchies are gone, I was alone with the boss

) .
I've just stopped GW for my exams, so i don't know if this was a nerfed long ago or, just for me :'(.

If this is normal, that's sad, but if I'm the only one, ...., well that's sad too

poutoux a tous ^^

(I didn't want to make a new topic only for me, so I posted here)

you need to "time" you hexes, cast insidious on one foe, SS on the next and wait a few secs until insidious recharges, then cast it on a non hexed foe and put SS on it too, that would give you different times of death for enemies

on another topic, I've benn having troubles on nahpuis quarter, any advice?

SS can be kept up constantly, without wasting a skill on AEcho.
SS does more damage to fast-attacking HM mobs, given that SoJ causes KD.

Substantial extra damage to overcome a self-heal, an extra healing boost for yourself, a cover hex for SS, and because there's nothing else worth running.

Bosman · Oct 24, 2007, 02:07 PM // 14:07

but i just relized.. isnt it better to cast SS on diffrent monsters every time for faster killing?

Blobbe Tropper · Oct 24, 2007, 03:51 PM // 15:51

nope ss spread out to all adjecent foes, so you cast in one group and they are all infected with ss, i think..

really great guide, i was needing the money lol

SS= hex spell efefct a monster every time when it takes damage it takes .. dmage to all adjectend foes thats why its better to cas on diffrent i think Oo

Fuzzy Taco · Oct 24, 2007, 06:54 PM // 18:54

let's end this for the time being.

SS is a single target spell, meaning it goes on 1 monster per cast, not all monsters in the area. it does damage to all foes adjacent to the foe you cast it on. Yes, reapplying SS on different monsters whenever it recharges is a good idea.

now on to Insidious Parasite, IP for short. it's useful for many reasons: lifesteal means more damage done to a single target, which is useful in a lot of situations, say, groups with healers or melees with self heals. lifesteal also means you get healed whenever they hit you, which is good for hard hitting groups. there is also a myth (true or not, i can't be sure) that killing foes 1 at a time yields a better droprate. IP kills one foe faster than others, so it helps in that case.

Bosman · Oct 24, 2007, 08:05 PM // 20:05

but instead of vig spirit/blessed signet isnt ir more effective if i put zealots fire in it for 60 secconds for IP if i cast it it also do damage the whole set monsters so thats more effective right?

zealot fire will make them scatter which = bad for SS...

Key words being from one effect. Far as i know Hm mobs have that inherently, not as a buff they cast.

To Abedeus:

I guess this is a late reply and maybe you already figured it out, but for the azures in Witman's Folly you should start from Port Sledge and go right/SE. Sometimes a small group of maybe 3 grawl will spawn on that corner, but that's it.

Bosman · Oct 26, 2007, 02:57 PM // 14:57

witte was said:
Curses: 12
Healing Prayers: 13 (9+3+1)
Smiting Prayers: 3 (0+3)
Protection Prayers: 9 (6+3)
Divine Favor: 9 (6+3)

but i have 28 skill points left that way?
