I'm running my E/A for Kaolin runs. So far I've killed mes, ele, monk, and necro contructs. Got the monk and mes staff on my 3rd or 4th run, I don't remember. Only the warrior is giving me trouble. I can't seem to kill him. Silver armor always kills off the afflicted ones first, then it targets the warrior construct. By then Silver armor and Shadow form is gone, then the rits res the dead ones. Rinse and repeat, same result. I think I'm just gonna skip the warrior until then...

Question: How do you keep up shadow form?

And, must take out my assassin from pvp for a while. Time to farm.

Evilsod · Oct 12, 2006, 12:45 AM // 00:45

After playing AB today... i'm quite tempted to run this build there.

Would be hilarious to see an MM group... run in with Shadow Form on, cast Sliver Armour and kill the MM using his own minions

Welcome to FoW, enjoy your stay.

Yes i really did. If for some reason you don't have a character capable of soloing FoW and feel the need to get some shards... This is for you. Although its stupidly slow and impossible to clear, but its fun to do

I cba to post screenshots... but it is possible to kill various things down there given enough time. Spiders go down in 1s or 2s till they start to thin out. Shadows are a bit picky... it always seems to target the Warriors first. As i just found out SoH isn't enough to break agro of skeletons.... so chased down and pwnd. But the casters are extremely weak to earth (Icehands take 42 from lvl18 SA), Spirit Shepherds... don't bother. 110 damage Lightning Touch and they only take 17.

if i try to take the long way i most likely will get very badly hurt by the blood drinkers can someone show me in game?

Woot! Got his shield. Finally!

I just Dark Escape past the first little group of three (couple of kirins and one of those foilage hedgehog things I think), then stop under the tree branch for a rest and target Sunreach. I then use Shadow of Haste and watch the groups wandering around. When the patrolling wardens (2 or 3) go back near him, I run up as near to Sunreach as I can get without aggroing, then use Shadow Form and run up to him, sometimes using Death's Charge. Sliver nearly always targets him for me and when it does he's usually going down..

Hope that helps

Anyone used this on Kunvie? I can get to her but haven't managed to actually fight her yet! - never knew carp could be so aggressive!

pegasux · Oct 12, 2006, 08:25 PM // 20:25

yes you can kill kuunvei with this...i've done it several times. what makes it really really really easy on kuunvie is the celestial skill you have. get close to her on the outside of the box <on the side> and cast your celestial skill...sometimes she will die just from that. if now aggro the group outside and attack and kill her. real fast and easy. you can also kill the warrior before her and the assassin on the way to her. oh and the monk also. unfortunately the only wep worth anthing there still is kuunvie.

How come you've killed it several times and not realised its called Star Ancient KOOSUN? And also not noticed Carp are nowhere in the vacinity?

You'd struggle to kill Kunvie imo. Carp patrol all over the place. Oh and Inferno would hit you for 200-225/400-450 damage and Lightning Touch for 125-175/250-350 (w/o Dark escape). So its really not gonna happen

Oh its also possible to kill the Ranger Construct using only Sliver Armour. Was showing someone a run earlier and decided to try luring it into the mass of groups at the Necro, 17 damage a hit is naff all... also meaning that the Ranger Construct has the exact same Earth AL that Spirit Shepherds do

Has anyone successfully killed ghial with this? I managed to run to him the other day, but I didn't do enough damage. At that point I realized i had 9 in earth magic. I didn't have enough time to attempt it again though...

Wouldn't work either way. Moment you go to cast Sliver Armour the Mesmers would jump on it with Signet of Disruption. Guess you could bring Glyph of Concetration but then you might not have enough damage unless your E/A.

Xerdes · Oct 13, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Wow awesome build, genius thought to combine sliver armor and shadow form. Maybe i should dust of my E (level 1) and level it up a bit

But i'm afraid that when i'm ready green prices have dropped so much that it isn't worth the effort. Anyway this triple green drop weekend is not gonna help. I also really get the idea that the prices in Cantha green list are kept artificially high.

Wonder when Anet will nerf sliver armor :S This skill is way to powerful and not even elite. I remembered getting slain by it quite a few times as warrior in Raisu Palace. Some monk said: "If you get targeted by sliver armor just attack another enemy" Yeah right

Thx for sharing this awesome build!!!

cerb · Oct 13, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Ummm is there a way to help sliver armor select Sunreach? Because it literally never does for me.... I don't have much problems with traps/knockdown, it's just that sliver seems to always target a wallow or a warrior first....

I did this run about 30 times and only managed to kill him twice...

ibex333 · Oct 13, 2006, 02:57 PM // 14:57

mmm... apparently now Assasin will become the best profession for farming bosses. I dont believe any other profession comes even close.

Well, what can I say. Awesome job on the build.

around · Oct 13, 2006, 08:50 PM // 20:50

Just in case anyone wants to, you can also solo Chung, the Attuned and Chan the Dragon's Blood with this.

In fact, you can probably solo most of the Am Fah bosses with this. Not sure why you'd want to though, their greens aren't worth that much.

It is possible to kill Ghial with this and I don't find it too difficult. What I do is dark escape past all the groups and stop about half way on the bridge approaching Ghial's party. With no speed skills on I aggro the four jade knights on either side of the bridge, cast shadow form and run towards Ghial. Death charge him when I won't lose all the knight's aggro, and cast the glyph and sliver. I haven't yet been interrupted with signets, maybe good luck but there have been mesmers around, and only 1 time out of 4 or 5 I haven't killed him. Usually he's far enough away from everyone else that sliver targets him.

Got the constructs down, no blade yet though, hopefully this weekend.

Stil having trouble with Sunreach and find killing Jayne to be pretty inconsistent.

But either way this is an awesome build desires, and thanks once again. For fun I ran something based on this in AB last night and it worked fairly well when everyone likes to target sins! lol

Sens Francisco · Oct 13, 2006, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Yeah you can solo Ghial with this, I killed him many times, but not worth the time and it involves a lot of luck (ex:not being killed when pulling). Bring glyph of concentration, two running skills, and heart of shadow (to stay alive when running). Pull the group that patrols near the Tengu village when they are near the bridge area, bring them near Ghial, glyph of concentration then shadowform and death's charge to Ghial. Remember to Glyph every time you cast

korcan · Oct 14, 2006, 12:48 AM // 00:48

this is an excellent build

thxs to the op for sharing

ive done quite a few solo runs [kaolin mostly] with both my sin and ele but found it somewhat time consuming to clear all 5 bosses [ele, nec, mes, war & monk] because of sliver not targeting the bosses from the get go or sliver just not lasting long enough.

so a friend and i decided to try a 2 man to try and cut down on the time. the build is just a little tweak on whats already there.

2 man consists of an e/a & a/e [but im sure 2 a/es or 2 e/as will also work]

just replace one of your skills with recall. i usually replace shock with recall

how it works:

simply throw recall on ur buddy and vice versa and take turns on any 1 boss till he dies. use recall when sliver or shadow form r about to end.
this is a great way to tag team all the kaolin bosses in a short period of time.

we can clear all 5 bosses in about 15-20 minutes [not too shabby if u ask me]

This is why you bring Shadow of Haste. It does exactly the same as Recall if you use it right.

And for the record, my runs takes about 10-15 mins. Solo.

zhak · Oct 14, 2006, 01:46 PM // 13:46

sorry to ask but..what armor and weapons are needed to this build? and are they important on doing this build to work?
