Would you also recommend me closing every other farming build that works good?

Bokocasso · Sep 19, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

There is no favour now. But I tried this with the minotaurs in elona, and man - this is great. Thanx :P

Better wait until he gets a chance to leech off of them first. It's only fair to close them if he's seen them.

@OP: Great build! The Graspings seem to enjoy Skull Cracking me, but I'm sure I'll get used to the feel of this build and figure it out eventually. Thanks for sharing!

ALL of you looked at my build, thanks for comment and suggestion, although, I'm a bit poor right now and I woul thank you all if you keep this on the low side... I'm not trying to get super rich but I just want enough money to unlock all the skills. So try not to redirect this build to other forum just keep it to yourself k? Also, it is very possible burning speed can get nerfed, try not over abuse it.

1/4 casting and no recharge

??? thats got to be some mistake, please, if u know where else you can farm with this build other than fow or UW, please make suggestion and I'll try it asap

BTW I'm off to sleep, and please, as respect to this build's creator, dont make a video out of this

Going to try this soon, seems like it's gotten good feedback. Congrats on thinking of it.

Oh, and Sage, I spent 30k doing UW runs with a guildie to get him used to being the 55, only made like 10k back, so I feel your pain

But it'll pay off in the long run.

...geeze, i was just joking. guild wars money isn't the most important thing in my life, i really don't care if tons of people get rich in the game

xiaotsu · Sep 19, 2006, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Hmm...I can't think of a good skill to put in that extra slot...

And Nathan, sorry if you were joking, can't really tell on the magical internet...

/edit; tossed divine boon on like you did and tried it, works nicely

Has anyone been able to duplicate this yet? I've been able to kill all the squids and cows, but I hit problems when I get to the smites. They use Mend Condition to get rid of the burning and negate the damage from Retribution with Reversal of Fortune. I tanked a group of 5 of them for about 6-7 minutes thinking they would run out of energy, but they never did. It was a stalemate: they have no interrupts and were giving me unlimited energy so they couldn't kill me, but I wasn't doing enough damage and couldn't kill them. Suggestions?

Gizmo Loco · Sep 19, 2006, 08:05 AM // 08:05

Ok, I've tried this a couple of times and just have one question - how do you have the energy at the start to cast everything as your rounding them up? I can cast one PS, Bond and SB, but assoon as Bond runs out I dont have the energy to renew it.

Are you using balths spirit / essence bond ?
BtW - great build

Gizmo Loco · Sep 19, 2006, 08:19 AM // 08:19

Yes, I am, but I'm talknig about when I am aggroing them - if they dont hit me enough I die, and if I stop I can get blocked :/

Rheemer · Sep 19, 2006, 08:26 AM // 08:26

Hmm i dunno, last time i checked 3 ataxes was enough to keep your energy up, try taking divine boon off if your using that cause its not rly needed.

Bokocasso · Sep 19, 2006, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Try using Blessed Signet Instead of boon.

Archaic Nightmare · Sep 19, 2006, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Many thanks for this as I just took Burning Speed on the dual monk set-up and makes coldfires no probs at all anymore. I will def give it a try soon solo tho.

The 'run' is faster because you skip the Aatxe and terrorwebs... which most 55/SB monks consider part of a basic smiterun (including Servants of Grenth). Also, Aatxe have a higher rate of ecto drops than smites.

An innovative build... nice to see. How far exactly can it go, and what additional quests can be completed?

jake jacobs · Sep 19, 2006, 01:53 PM // 13:53

okey dokey just so you all know, blessed sig DOESNT get interupted by the the bull guys (sorry i cant spell their name) and the squids will interupt it but they die so fast that it really dont matter

just giving you guys a heads up

tuna-fish_sushi · Sep 19, 2006, 01:55 PM // 13:55

mabye the extra slot could be glyph of concentration to negate the skull cracks? just a thought

What Now Homie · Sep 19, 2006, 02:08 PM // 14:08

Im trying life attunement for the extra slot right now...

sage tank · Sep 19, 2006, 03:44 PM // 15:44

Guys, if you really need extra damage and feel a bit riskier pack in
"FLAME BURST"

I got a bit impatient, so i dared and took off divine boon and slotted in flame burst, smite dies within 40 seconds
