Hey, i really havn't seen any warden farm builds so i decided to come up with one on my spare time.. {sorry if there was one}

well the build is pretty simple, its basically a modified build of full tyria solo build for the desert which can be found in this link http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10046362

Okay, well my equipment is as follows

Helm:Ascalon helm of Superior Tactics!
Chest:Gladiators Curiass of Superior Absorption
Gloves: Gladiators Gloves of Major Vigor (superior or minor can be used here)
Boots:Gladiators boots of Minor Swords manship
legging:Gladiators legging of Minor Strength

Wepon: really any wepon will work as long as its NOT while enchanted or -10 armour, seeing you're going to need all armour for wardens

Sheild: best sheild i've ever had, especially good for this build as you're going to be in stance constantly

Attributes
Tactics: 13 (9+1+3)
Swords: 11 (10+1)
Strength: 9 (8+1)
Inspiration: 8

Skills:
Sprint(i dont' really use this much unless i'm left against one caster to get outa physical stance)
Sever artery
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Hundred Blades [E]
Physical Resistence
Dolyak signet (need to keep this as much as possible)
Healing signet ( just incase)

How to:

Okay first of all hit enter mission, now, watch as the 2 monks (which don't take drops) will follow you arround? thats good they're basically your lifeline (although this build should work without them)

Now agro the first 2 warden of trees, hit phsyical resistence and then deadly riposte as soon as you're sure you have agro hit dolyak, (sometimes the spawn will be a ward of tree and a warden of spirit) now if the spawn is like that, ITS OKAY, DON'T PANIC!!

All you have to do is target straight for the spirit as soon as you get to him Hit Hundred blades then deadly ripsote, and again, when you're sure you have the warden on you then bam dolyak signet, and it really should be easy from there.

now for warden of branches, these are fairly easy themselves, how ever you're going to be limited to doing damage to them with hundred blades and sever artery, but you should be fine if you just Agro them, and hit dolyak+Physical resistence.

Heres a photo of some of the spoils

Heres a screenie of how far in you can go, i really havn't tried much more than this, because typically its the mesmer boss and with the elemental wardens it can get really tough with their high damage spells like churning earth and their spammables like stoning

first actual PVE farming build i've made credits to
Wittie was for the idea
and
Racthoh and Lambda the Great for their wonderful farming builds that i've used in the past :P

Please post any comments or any ides for improvements

what did you get interesting in these arborstones runs?

Ulivious The Reaper · Sep 24, 2006, 01:06 AM // 01:06

around 100 tanned hides, a purple and gold first run, but aside from that nothing outa the ordinary, some warden horns.. if you get the ranger boss you should be able to get his green a few runs if the monks don't get pwnt by the eles lol

They drop keys occasionally as well.
I've gotten a few Sup Vigs from the chests around there too ^_^

And how long does it usually take for a run?
Depending on how much I want to kill, I usually kill till I have a full invent, which is around 5-10mins.
I also use a 55 Monk (Or Spirit Bond, which ever armor set is on hand quickest =P), and it's very effective.

Niice to see Hblades used again, never tried to farm Wardens with my warrior, so I tried your build out(I took out ele resistance because I can't live without IAS).

cataphract · Sep 25, 2006, 07:35 AM // 07:35

This will be great for my warrior, she needs the expirience points. I usually farm these Wardens with a 55 monk, they drop loads of materials. <3

edit: Just realized you farm the mission, my monk farms the explorable.

The Rt/Me cruises Arborstone explorable as well. Echo, VwK, Vw, mend body and soul and PR to reduce trap annoyance, Stonereap and Stonebreak also do-able I balance Domination/Illusion and bring along Diversion, Empathy and 1 Visage.

Cannot Farm the Dredge with this.
