Maybe he want's all the credit, or this is a project he's been working on for awhile and doesn't want/need help.

These are some tidbits of info that I may have found out, please correct me, or start some brainstorming if I am wrong.
PLEASE DONT FLAME ME FOR THIS POST, JUST PUTTING SOME THINGS OUT THERE FOR US TO WORK WITH.

Firstly, I have reason to believe that he isnt a ranger primary or any other primary other than a Mesmer. See second screenshot and compare to 1.5k enchanters armor

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Enchant...rmor_%28art%29

notice the hairstyle, and think back to the male mesmers that you have seen in game.

You will also notice that he is holding a cane, and an inscribed chakram if you look very closeley.

Notice his casting stance on screenshot one.

In the second screenshot, he has blurred out the skills that he has casted on himself, it is approximateley 4 skills. While having these four skills, he has 4 energy regeneration and 6 health regeneration, also, in the first screenshot, he appears to have what may be the same 4 skills "enchantments/skills/hexes" with the same 4 pips of energy regen. The health regen, may just be from recovery time, so do not be fooled as to him automatically being a monk with breeze or a ranger with troll.

Just a few suggestions to think about......

Im still thinking about it a little bit, but I do not want to be a desperate idiot who only wants the build and give the poster no credit whatsoever. Good job tawings!

All reasons why I know its a Mesmer...the people who don't think its a Mesmer need a larger monitor, or to get their eyes checked.

I really doubt that the OP was photoshopped or anything, and whatever hes doing, lets just wait it out. Has Witte Was ever dissapointed before? Full tyria solo(not complete, but still impressive), and taking over the "Solo Farming:Lists of Builds" thread from Hero Yamaguchi or something like that. I have full confidence in whatever this is. Btw, is this the whole tombs solo, or jsut the first part?

Rofl_Pwnt · Sep 20, 2006, 12:37 AM // 00:37

For the people who say Photo Shop: You can suck me sideways.

Witte Was has almost completely Solo'd ALL of Tyria. I can suspect that when he's done with tyria he'll move onto Cantha. But it's sad to say that he photo shopped, of all people. Sad really.

Gwmaster · Sep 20, 2006, 12:37 AM // 00:37

hmm...i was thinking that maybe a mes/rit could solo that place but im not sure...

Neriandal Freit · Sep 20, 2006, 12:47 AM // 00:47

Wow. I mean...Just hugely wow.

Though I believe Mesmer primary, I think I saw the energy upward of 70? Now, ifthat's the case, it can only be an Elementalist.

But! I suspect Mesmser.

i cant be sure , my desktop is not working but imo is

Mesmer with hit and run tatics ,combined by wastrell wary spam to kill

Witte Was · Sep 20, 2006, 03:20 PM // 15:20

Wow, many posts! I think I can make some things clear now:
- I didn't use photoshop or any other photo-editing program.
- I'm indeed playing the Mesmer profession. (Good searching Xaero Gouki Kriegor

)
- Stage 1 is almost done.
- I'm still tweaking this so please, be patient

I'll read the other posts now, maybe I'll find something interesting.

I'll add my two speculatory cents. :-)

Shadow-Hunter said in a different thread that he was nearly successful with the Rit/Me VwK build but that he kept getting interrupted. Although there is a big difference in VwK at 16 Restoration and at 12, there really isn't anything in the build that is Ritualist-dependent (ie. no Spawning Power skills). So maybe Witte just switched things around and went Me/Rit so that he could get through the interrupts with Fast Casting (and maybe he added Mantra of Resolve/Concentration). I don't know if 3 VwK at 12 Restoration would be enough damage in TOPK, so maybe he added some other damage tweak.

Tainek · Sep 20, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

nice to see somebody else trying to solo this, i could get to level 2, but Worms=Stalemate

Right now i just Duo it with Sins

AscalonWarrior · Sep 20, 2006, 04:15 PM // 16:15

--> Going to make a mesmer

Just kidding..

Nice one once again Witte Was!

Big fan of your builds, AW

Angel Develin · Sep 20, 2006, 05:48 PM // 17:48

I think mesmer/assasin

anyway nice job /clap

Evilsod · Sep 20, 2006, 07:20 PM // 19:20

Shouldn't this be in screenshot expidition? Its a showoff thread, not a farming thread.

lundis · Sep 20, 2006, 07:30 PM // 19:30

R/mo with peace and harmony? that could give him +4 regen :P

Nice job, good luck with the later stages, it gets a whole lot harder.

First off, pop up wurms are an easy way to get killed without being able to do anything about it. However, if you aren't already aware, standing beneath a bridge will often freeze the wurm directly above the bridge, and it wont move or burrow.

Second, they start to run balanced builds later, with, banished dream riders/terrorwebs in the same group as a scythe/grasp, so make sure you aren't relying on different battle tactics for each group.

Third, the seige wurms will kill you iff you can't dodge the attacks or interrupt.

Fourth, if you dont have spell immunity, remember, the darknesses have backfire and diversion, much more difficult than banished and scythes.

I'm finally getting used to it

After completing this and my Tyria Solo Guide, Cantha is my next challenge

Thanks for your support!

I'm very busy at the moment so I really don't know when I'm done with it..I think I'll post the build when stage 1 is 100% mine

If he said "Lol, I can solo parts of ToPK and i'm not gonna show you how" it would be a show off thread. But no, he said when he's done tweaking the build he'll show it. Not really showing off.

Nobody said it's an easy farm. Lots of people won't farm there because they don't want to, and lots won't because they can't. It would take something much bigger to make ecto's drop to nothing.

ROFL!! The greens that drop from ToPK have been worth very little to nothing for a long time. As for ectos, they hardly drop compared to in UW. Assuming you can solo ToPK, it will probably take you a loooooooooong time. An 8 man B/P group usually takes about an hour to get through or less (depending on how good of a pug you find). Generally one or two ectos drop in the entire run. A solo/duo Uw run can be done in half the time of a B/P group doing a ToPK run and generally has about 1 or 2 ectos drop depending on your luck.

What then would the point of soloing this area be in my opinion? Respect. Something you'll never get by trying to surpress the community's sharing of knowledge out of greed.

If Witte does pull off an entire solo of the area and then share his build, I will have great respect for him. Even now I have to give him props for at least getting this far.
