My guildie and I discovered that you can't use wand or staff because then the sins do shadow shroud on you!

Sektor this works in UW with a ranger useing Famine and EoE though its not quite as affective as the standard SS/SV necro duo. kinda slow against the Aatxe's as you dont have that many on you so not as much energy denial. Works well on the smites though.

Cast Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit at the beginning. Before heading into them make sure you have 20 energy, cast protective Spirit and Protective Bond on yourself. Run all the way into them up to the last mob. After aggroing the last mob (you should have past alteast 2 mobs) move back next to where the rangers are standing that were following you from previous mobs. The warriors will move in to attack. Do this while maintaining Prot Bond and Prot Spirit.

Why do you use Protective Bond?

Nice tip, and FYI: Me/Mo and Mo/Me aren't the only combinations that can farm this

Granted they're probably better/faster/more reliable than that I'm using, but my monk isn't that far yet >.>

I like the huge purple cloud of Visage triggers around them. Looks like they have a REALLY bad case of Miasma or something . . .

I'm using your build ||sektor||, but how do you kill the rangers? They don't seem to die for me... Everything else dies though.

I'd say you're probably going to be left with a few rangers. If you can get the warriors and assassins to fight near a ranger mob then the SV/AV energy drain will kill any ranger in the area. However, since there are at least a few rangers in each mob some will likely spread out and be away from the AoE of SV/AV and won't die.

Leave 'em and collect your loot.

Gee, standing next to them so the AoE from SV/AV triggering affects them too couldn't possibly work...

Really, that's all you have to do. Group up the melee characters, run back so the rangers are clumped, then run slightly past the rangers so the melee characters are standing next to them.

No need to get wise with me, I was under the influence that the effects of the visages only applied to the attacker.

Well I spent a few hours using sektors build on my monk and mesmer...its for some reason easier on my monk but my mes needs the skillpoints..
For the day, I ended up with about..
3 golds..2 GFB's and 1 Platinum longbow..bow was only one worth keeping..
100+ Soul stones..
17kish in gold (400-1k per run for me)
5 skill points..12 runs with berserkers scrolls didn't seem to help much..

I was too busy not dying to aggro the rangers..I typically left far too many alive..anyway <3 the build, etc, since its the only thing my mes can farm.

you move up till u aggro all groups move bak to the rangers that follow you.. stand around them so the warriors follow to you. Kill them with edenial with teh warriors.

But if they are very much a problem then dont kill them .. i don't bother with killing the rangers.

Yep, working fine now. There are still alot of runs where they strip Mantra of Resolve right after I cast it, and then the visages get interrupted. (Sometimes Spirit Bond / Protective Spirit gets interrupted too)

yea i know.... sometimes it gets annoying

ubermancer · Aug 26, 2006, 12:17 AM // 00:17

I had a problem where Warrior's were staying alive, as they wouldnt die as fast as the Sin's/Ranger's that I would stay near. In order to remedy this, I brought SOJ along for the KD (works fine even at low smiting):

Prot Spirit
Spirit Bond
Ancestor's
MoR
Sympathetic
SOJ
Essence Bond
Balth Spirit

I cast SOJ ~2 seconds after I apply Sympathetic. This causes the energy drain to be a bit more staggered, allowing the Warriors to die at the same time. (no need for MoR as they have no energy)

This place is also good for xp grinding, though the <100% success rate does get annoying.
