*Factions skills included too*

this has been kinda tested without the elite lol and i got a long way on my first 3 attemps (never solo's fow like this before lol)

but yeah easy build enjoy

Armor + equipment

Ideal staff =
RAgo's flame staff

cheap staff=
kephets refuge (im cheap lol, its what i use)

ascalon/pre armor if ya have it

just use

fire head peice,
boots and trousers, leave top and arms uncovered

have suprior fire, suprior energy stroage and suprior whatever lol

should have below 200 health

Attribute

15 fire magic
9 prot
rest on energy

skills:

Prot spirit (keep it going)
spirit bond (keep it going)
Burning speed (keep it going)
(could use star burst as elite, if not just use inferno or something lol)
flame burst (spam lol)
pheonix/inferno/mending (paly with your attributes to make healing 8 for mending)
essence bond
balthzars spirit

enjoy

tip: with mesmers put burning speed on justa s you get attacked, they cancel that with shattter enchantments and you can easily recast

youd be amazed at how fast you do dmg with star burst, pheonix and flame burst, it rips through monks down there =]

Awesome!!!!!!

Some screens???

Oh a GW forum · Oct 06, 2006, 10:12 AM // 10:12

Definately need some screens... not convinced this is enough to overcome the Monks healing.

dont feel no pain · Oct 06, 2006, 10:45 AM // 10:45

most definatly works, I took down about 4 groups before i got owned by a phone call lol!, if you gather near the monks, they are too busy healing the others, so you just kill them realy realy quick, the burning makes them spam thier heals all over the place and a pheonix+flame burst just destroys them,

and i wasn't using an elite at that time lol!

i will get some screens soon...as for now... lol college cya later! =D

TheYellowKid · Oct 06, 2006, 11:52 AM // 11:52

sounds good, are you aiming to farm the whole of fow with that build or just a section?

and yea i second the request for screens,
why do u need less then 200 health?

dont feel no pain · Oct 06, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

=] because if you take less than 60 dmg "BEFORE PROTECTIVE SPIRITS EFFECT" you wont get healed, so its best to keep dmg low on prot spirit at all times, but not too low cause your gonna be spamming a 7 degen =] so around 180 (3 suprior runes) is good =]

I can't kill warriors, how you kill them?

Why_Me · Oct 06, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

Awesome, I can see this working, I recommend taking some out of fire and putting into healing for mending, so you can run a hybrid build. Compared to the similar necro build, this is probably slower, but more resistent to shatter enchants.

Dark Tykane · Oct 06, 2006, 09:57 PM // 21:57

Heheh so you saw the Mo/e solo awhile back?
The only purpose for the build was doing enough damage without an elite skill...so that in UW you can get around nightmares with SB...this may work but it is no better than the SS build to solo UW except for the fact that your cover enchantment has a fast recharge....
beyond the concept of using burning speed as damage instead of an elite this build is just another spirit bond and any spirit bond build can solo FoW with or without SB but i can assure you if spell breaker isnt the way your going then there is much better ways to deal your damage as a spirit bonder if your using an elite for damage

Fixed it, somehow that seemed important.
No better than the SS build...except this doesn't involve a necro anywhere, and can be done by people who only have eles. Somehow, that too seems important.

yeah thats the hardest part lol, trick can be to kill them first by staying away from the ele's and messmers and just using the energy your getting to spam attack on them, then kill the ele and mes

, it seemed to had worked for me, or another tecnique would be to just gather a big group form them all up in one concentrated spot and spam, you'll be able to kill the warriors ok there =]

I am considering making this build more earth and trowing in silver armor to help kill warriors

Bloodied Blade · Oct 07, 2006, 02:21 PM // 14:21

It's sliver armor, and it won't help you enough on them b/c it only attacks one target at a time, your dps will be much better sticking with fire.

EDIT: Just from testing a few fire skills on minos, it appears that they run away if you spam AoEs (non-DoT). This may be a little irritating in FoW.

Vladmir Mironov · Oct 07, 2006, 04:10 PM // 16:10

Nice build.
Any screens or videos though?
They'd help. Heh heh.

For the first group to the right of where you spawn into FoW you might be able to get those warriors by waiting for the eles to patroll down the hill and rushing in to kill the mesmer and from then on use the eles fire storm for energy to kill the warriors...so move away from the eles and just kill the warriors go all out on the warriors with this build and you should have enough energy to kill them as long as you kill them before you do the eles....this is assuming that you're bringing the Star burst/inferno/flame burst build shown above....
if you kill the eles first then the warriors are too stuck up on HS to give you energy but you might be able to pull it off this way if you get them with the big hits while they are casting HS....for every other group it might be hard but you should be able to find away to duplicate the same results.

I'd like to add that while this seems interesting it's horribly undiscriptive.
I'd like to see this 'explanation' of the build expand with some detail.

I've wrote alot of guides, some added video's, and too be honest... this build is mo diff from a troll build lol, its so simple i cant be bothered to write a detailed guide, because theres just realy common facts

*use burning speed to cover for shatter enchantment
*keep prot spirit and spirit bond going
*spam Aoe spells every 2+ secs

meh...

just becuase im posting a build, doens't mean it has to be a guide, its an idea which has probably been thought over by many other players, im just "showing" it

Bokocasso · Oct 08, 2006, 01:51 AM // 01:51

Tried it out... Well it seems really fast. But When 1 or 2 warriors are left from the group, your energy is barely enough to keep up the spirits up, and not to mention doing any dmg.. :[

Yeah, seeing as you cant kill the warriors, this build would be slow. Until nightfall comes out. Then, you can aggro an extremely large amount and spam searing flames. I have no doubt it would be faster than SS.

Wrong. The idea of sliver armor IS to channel all the damage you're taking into a consistent DPS to one target, which would be the warriors (I have be soloing FoW for a long time with E/R, it ALWAYS targets the warriors first), which will rip trough their healing signets and they will die. Over the entire course of sliver armor, with six people attacking you, you can deal over 1500 damage.
