this guy rules, he realizes everyones going to know sooner or later, and anyone with half a brain would have already applied this build to Grenths. anyway, who grade competes in college? not us honors kids. lame.

If ppl really wanted to do such a thing they would do it, this is again like giving others the answers to a test at school. But in college grade competition is everything, why would you help someone get a leg-up over yourself? idk...this just annoys me...

ok i know where you are coming from but stop it!

why are you whinning that someone wants to help people out?

maybe if arenanet wasnt messing up the in game economy every month with these patches then i would say sure keep money making methods to yourself but since they do screw with the economy sooooooo often y does it matter if people are sharing their ideas? No one is asking you to release all of your secrets so DON'T go around telling people no to release theirs the whole idea of a forum is to SHARE knowledge not flaunt that you have it and that your not going to share it.

All i am saying is that you should not go around telling people to stop sharing ideas and how dare you post "this needs to be deleted" if you don't like it don't read it and spend your time doing something else!

Amen. However, ANet will probably just come up with another way to nerf said build by changing monsters in that area. however, the way this game evolves eternally, there will always be a way to solo farm Mo/X...

The economy is "messed up" because of farming builds and Ebay. That's why A-net has to "fix" it periodically. This is a common problem in MMO games, it's nothing new. And whether it is right or wrong is only a moral issue, not a matter of whether or not someone is cheating. So let the poster post what he wants.

A-net made it a point in an interview to say that they intentionally made Droks runnable for low-level characters, and that they have no problem with ingenuity and people who actually strategize and come up with builds to accomplish certain tasks. What they don't like is when it tips the PvP balance too far.

Good to know, I might have to dust off my mo/w and give it a shot! I understand that changes are made to the game to keep balance and order. However, it sometimes makes me feel like a-net is an indian giver. The game I paid $50 for 3 months ago isn't the same game today. A lot of the changes are good, but my monk has been nerfed to Sh*t, even for healing and protection which I did alot of. Heres an example: You buy a ferrari and take it home, for the next few months you enjoy driving your new car, you like the way it handles and feels. Then the car dealer sends you a letter one day "sorry, there is going to be an update to your new ferrari". You wake up the next morning after the update and realize your ferrari doesn't handle or feel the same. So, you call the dealer and ask them what updates they made. They say "we gave you a really cool green stereo with 10/10 sundering and +30hp!, but we decided your engine was to powerful and had to give you a ford escort engine and suspension, enjoy the new stereo, we are sending you a free music cd and nerf bat for being such a loyal customer!

Okay.............I want a gold refund from the skill trainers for every skill of mine that was nerfed!

A-net keep nerfin and I'll keep surfing for ways to beat you at your own game.

Again, you're playing an MMO-style game. This type of game is constantly updated. If you didn't know that when you started playing then you can blame yourself for not doing any research. A-net hasn't done anything wrong. They've done precisely what they are supposed to do, and done it very well at that.

edit: gave another try.. got bleeding hard to balance with breeze THEN shattered w/o any Heretic around ...

If u gotta be lucky and w8 that there s no Heretic etc around..this is a no go

(Pwning 3 dwarfs in a row down the slope outside the outpost in 4 hours is NOT soloing the place )

You really can't do enough damage to kill the bosses, though. All of the other minions are usually dead quickly and then you can't generate enough energy to keep up the damage or prot spirit.

I'll still stick with the 2-man runs, a lot more full proof.

105 build is a Mo/W build, not for the W/Mo tank.

I havent tried to solo with a Mo/W myself but judging from other people's failures to do so with Mo/W and my own experience with attempts with other classes... I don't think it's possible to make a solo build that's worth the time needed to solo the area.

Did the OP even use the build or is it theory? Anyone can solo the area with any class but it takes a long long long time and you'd die a lot. I'd like to see screenshots of anyone soloing the area with any kind of efficiency.

only one way to stop the 105 or 55 or the elusive 35 monk (yes, it does exist) is to change the runes to not stack life. until that change is made there will be soloers. anet is not dumb they leave it open to solo they just make it harder. they know people like the build and don't want to see it removed completely.

if you have a brain you would have figured this out by now seeing as i was using almost the same set up the first night of update with my monk. you my be able to solo but its still not 100% and most bosses you can't kill alone seeing as they have a constant hp regen. don't flame or troll on that last comment and say you can b/c i've been doing this for weeks and some of them is impossible alone (aka healing sig and mark of protection).

ele/mo have more of a better chance in grenths then the mo/w does seeing as you kill faster reducing the chance for bleeding and dmg delt to you but it still has the same problems.

master skorm I would like to see a video of you soloing this area. You can use filefront to upload a video, and it's free.

http://freespace.filefront.com/1

If you don't want to create a login (which doesn't take very long), I can host it, not sure how we can exchange it though. I am really interested in this video though.

I have tried this and I think it might be possible , but it's extremely hard. I can't get past heretics, conjure phan. is just too much degen stacked with other things.

Here are some problems:
Gnashers-life siphon -3
Rangers-bleeding -3
Carvers-disrupting chop(minor problem but can be fatal)
Heretics-strip enchantment and conjure phan. -5 (major problem)
Ice golems-not really a problem but knockdown with water trident if you are moving
