Default ok... I mean WTF?!

as I quote from another thread that I saw here:

"Theres no doubt that a Spirit Bonder or a 55 can solo FoW"..(maybe in other words...)

WTF!?! Im like a 55 for about 5 months now, tried everything possible with it but never thought about soloing FoW. If anybody knows anything about it, please replay and tell me about it. Omfg I was so freaked out when I saw it.
It would be great If I would know the method :P

Solo FoW is possible, 55hp with SoJ, Scourge Healing and Holy Strike should work.

Like this?





And here's an old screenshot ( pre spirit bond) with a small list of the drops, quest completion text. People have been 55ing the fissure since gw's came out and protective bond was "in." At least I was.

Hey KCP, I 55 Monk in the FoW with my buddy who does SS, I have been working on 55 Necro'ng the FoW. I can do 55 Necro in the UW without much problems. My question is, how do you do get around the mesmers Shatter Enchantment?

Edit: When I 55, I bring Spellbreaker to block the Shatter Enchantment, can't use that on my 55 Necro though.

Shatter enchantment is weak unless there are multiple mesmers in a group (2+). It recharges every 25 seconds, and it's one out of the 2 offensive skills on the shadow mesmers which means they are going to continually cast it on you on sight and as soon as it recharges.

I havent been using the old build with 2 covers to protect protective spirit as you can see. I just let them shatter spirit bond every 25 seconds and re-apply.

You can kinda sorta use the recharge timer on insidious parasite to know when the next shatter is coming and refresh ps, sb in that order and just make sure you notice the shatter.The I.P. timer isnt a good idea if you are using faster cast and recharge items so I usually just count to 20 myself and re-applly PS,SB, keeping insidious parasite on a warrior that is attacking me so the burn from incendiary bonds doesnt do ya in when you catch the shatter enchant on spirit bond. There's really not awhole lot of mesmers in the first area to worry about "ah man I gotta count in my head" so it's not a big deal.

The mesmers die ridiculously fast with or without a monk. Even the shadow mesmer , 2 shadow monk, and shadow warrior group by where rastigan initially stops after killing the first group of rangers and aatxe by the tower of courage gets stomped pretty fast with new build. They used to take about 4-5 mins to wear out with old build. You will have to survive multiple shatter enchants from the same mesmer but that really isnt a problem once you get the hang of it.

Took out the first group of skeletons with the 2 ether breakers, 3 icehands couple days ago fairly easy. Now those are hard mesmers to kill w/o spellbreaker or smiting skills e-surge, cry of frustration, chaos storm, shatter enchantment, multiple maelstorms at once with snares. Tons of fun. I usually avoid them at all costs. With spirit bond it was so much easier.

ripley I have basic how to vids on filefront. Pm me if you need link.

LOLS
So many easy solo FoWs....
I suggest only 3 things either spam fast, have a cover enchantment, or spell breaker....
If you can spam fast enough sometimes the mesmers cant touch you even without a cover hex as long as they strip the HB not PS if your 55in and you will get HB back up in time.
If you look in farming right now theres also an awesome build to own FoW if you play it right they die nicely and you don't die! its a monk spirit bonder build with burning speed/retribuiton/flame burst for damage



SS nec is still best solo..
