First of all this build is based on Inde's E/R Tank Farm build so thx to him.

Attributes

Earth magic 12+3+1
Wilderness Survival 12
Energy Storage 3+1

Skills:
Aftershock
Obsidian Flesh
Serpent's Quickness
Storm Chaser
Troll's Urguent
Ward against Melee
Armor of Earth
Kinetic Armor

Equipment:
Full Pyromancers Armor, Stone's Eye (head), Sup earth rune, minor energy storage rune.
Galigor's staff is perfect but anything with 20% enchant mod will do.

Strategy:
When you exit ember camp there is a pool of lava NE of you with a lot of mobs circling it. Wait for the hydra and golems to pass you and run to the other side of the lava pool following the left side.
Cast kinetic armor
Activate Serpent's
Cast Obsidian Flesh

Walk so that you are on the path the mobs take around the pool (use ward or armor of earth to keep kinetic up). Wait with using Aftershock untill you are certain all groups of Golems are attacking you!!! If you do not kill all golems at the same time they will begin raising minions and using taste of death and death nova. Golems have less hp than hydra.
When you have gathered all mobs (8-12 golems and 3-6 hydras and sometimes a phantom) you can begin killing them.
- Always keep kinetic armor on!

Aftershock, troll's urguent, armor of earth and ward against melee should be cast around the following order of spells

Step 1, serpent's then obsidian
around 25 secs later obsidian will begin blinking. recast it
around 22 secs later both serpent's and obsidian should have recharged. Go to step 1 again.

Some tips
- Wait with casting the aftershock that will kill the golems untill their death nova is gone (yellow arrow on their health bar)
- Use troll's Urguent immediatly after a spell. It takes 3 secs to cast and is not a spell so it won't reset kinetics duration.
- Do not use trolls urguent when obsidian is nearly over. Wait, recast obsidian then use urguent.
- 3 magho claws give you a scroll at collector, bring it to rare scroll trader.

Use armor of Earth to keep up Kinetic. Sorry but Kinetic lasts for about 9 secs with mods. And AoE is 15 sec recharge?

tompep · Oct 12, 2006, 10:15 AM // 10:15

AoE 10 secs recharge. Kinetic is 10s with mods.
During the 27s that serpent's is up you can use AoE to keep kinetic up. During the rest of the time you got Storm chaser up so energy is no problem. use whatever spell is recharged.

This build takes some practise but it works great

Ive been using this build for a long time tell you the truth. Ive been farming this forever with my character and now thanks to you this spot will die

tompep · Oct 12, 2006, 10:32 AM // 10:32

why will it die? maybe the scrolls will sell for less but otherwise u can keep farming :s

Bloodied Blade · Oct 12, 2006, 10:59 AM // 10:59

Not gonna die lol. So many better places to farm with non-elementalists. Elona and all the stuff that "died" died just because everyone and their grandmother could do it with 1-3 buttons and no effort.

On a side note- anyone know the price of ecto in european servers?

Araid · Oct 12, 2006, 02:25 PM // 14:25

It's not an easy build. Could you post a video or some pictures?

Quit whining.. You're so selfish it makes me want to puke..

Anyway, cheers, nice build. Nice to see solo builds that doesn't involve 55 hp or Spirit bond.

Why_Me · Oct 12, 2006, 08:47 PM // 20:47

This build will run out of energy fast. And dont even bother saying storm chaser gives 4 energy per hit, and the hydra's are fire eles, they use physical melee attacks.

Why would you even leave this comment. The OP has obviously been using the build successfully for a while and it works fine.

To come up with some hypothetical criticism that'll he'll run out of energy is ridiculous!

Uhh, Mahgo hydras do not hit for physical damage like normal hydras; their melee attacks are fire-based.

Why_Me · Oct 12, 2006, 10:04 PM // 22:04

Ok, sorry. I have tried an extremely similar build there, and I'm not sure whether I brought dryders defenses or storm chaser (most likely dryders, that or possibly I didn't ever actually use storm chaser), and I didn't get any energy.

unholysaint · Oct 12, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Great build! Thanks for sharing!

spun ducky · Oct 12, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

I don't have a ele on an account with factions but I think sliver armor might work in place of ward against melee.

this place was dead before it even died.

the drops are the most horrible besides titans probaly in the whole game in the high level farming.

spun ducky · Oct 13, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

I would have to agree the drops are quite bad except i know of a single chest in the zone that drop max gold brute swords so thats worth key here and there. I usually 2 man it with my brother as the obsidian ele and I roll as a ss necro makes it a lot easier and faster.

Sorry to make my self look like a donkey but it seems like whenever someone releases a build to public the public abuse it(by farming it 24/7 lol)

Yes??
If someone told you there was chest full of money right outside your house, wouldn't you go get it?

Do you expect people to think:"oh look! an insane farming build for quick cash! I'm not gonna try though.."

Oh a GW forum · Oct 13, 2006, 12:49 PM // 12:49

I've been soloing perdition on my warrior, imo.. it's not worth it. I guess it's a modest challenge though.
