also can do strongroot with the w/n build, just sprint past afflicted cause a fight sprint to the rez shrine, then go in and kill him when they have finished.

Woot

how much is strongroot's shelter worth these days and another thing...Sskai is refusing to drop the sword for me...after 70+runs I have not had a single drop. Got gold 2 gold items and 2 gold runes from him but I think Anet has hit Sskai with the nerf bat really really hard. I dont bother with Geoffer the Pain Bringer my riposte build, does Riposte work against arrows? I didn't know they counted as melee damage?

Uhh yeah, I just tried the rajizan run and its impossible to get to him, right when you almost get there, there are mobs of oni that rape you with scorpian wire, and the dehabilitating shots from the shiroken do not help either.

I would like to know how you got there. (really)

Tips for running are don't go near the warriors and dont stop except at the shrine and past the boss (or heal sig right before boss then run). Also, have vigor rune (I use major), hp in stance or always shield, and fortitude hilt help some. I can show you in game if you want. The only trouble you should have is getting stuck on warriors in the beggining doing this run.

Also I updated the Ironclaw section a little.

i have this problem too.

thanks for that rajazan build. got to him with no problem. if you have problems running there you might be running the wrong way.

i switched out swift chop with penetrating blow so all my attack skills are purely adrenaline

Origin · Jun 09, 2006, 08:58 AM // 08:58

I rather use grenth's balance build, since you can kill Merki on the way too. Rajazan use meele weapon in low range, so it's far better use ripostes. I found grenth's balance build better there, since it provide a very good self healing.

The ironclaw farm is pretty difficult to grasp. I have managed a few times to kil him, with no success, but the point is, its only about 1/5 times that i have managed 1) to drag the mantis' to where the warden groups are before getting owned by crip. anguish and leaping mantis sting, and 2) to get Ironclaw to stay alive, without running in by himself and getting pwnt.

Any videos, screenshots or other threads about how to farm him? thanks

Seems as if many are having trouble with Ironclaw. I have made a video of me doing it.

Edit:
I just signed up for filefront and am reencoding for better quality. Expect it soon.

Reject Hustler · Jun 11, 2006, 04:10 AM // 04:10

Ironclaw video is up.
Also made a few improvements to the guide to deal with ambiguity and randomness of the battles.

I admire your patience. I have killed him (not dropped it) but the effort in trying to get the `fight` going just frustrated me too much. You can lure either group and once you get them halfway, they head straight back to where they came from.

Reject Hustler · Jun 11, 2006, 05:33 AM // 05:33

Yeah the enemy ai can be dumb at times like henchies.
Its a hard thing to accomplish and i do it about 50% of the time.
The other 50% well....

The video is finally up. The space in my user name for filefront screwed it up so I made a new one. The link is actually to the real file this time sorry to anyone that got the other video whatever it was I have no clue.

Kep · Jun 11, 2006, 06:28 AM // 06:28

The video helps alot, I managed to kill the boss successfully times in a row, got weapon on 5th. Thanks !

Ventius Hozza · Jun 11, 2006, 07:49 AM // 07:49

*Downloading now* Yeah the battle between AI's really got on my nerves. Almost as soon as the mantis' got in range of the wardens they head right back to their spawn and Ironclaw runs in. Its crazy. Hoping the vid will help tho, thanks

HK White · Jun 11, 2006, 11:35 AM // 11:35

i killed him more than 30times but still no green drops......did anet change sth?

King of War · Jul 03, 2006, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Got Ironclaw on second kill! Took me about 5 tries or so on how to pull the wardens and mantis' together so it woould be an even match. Very nice build props to you.

VHStudlite · Jul 04, 2006, 06:10 PM // 18:10

You are my hero. <3
