Hey guys just wondering if there is a possible 3 man farming group build for FoW anymore since anerf nerfed mobs... I can do an 8 mean team no problem but it was all about the greater chances of getting shards with less people and more efficient to draw aggro to a certain tank...

i'm also wondering if it still works.. i got a vid where the mobs act like after the update, but spirit bond never seems to trigger the 10 hits, so i'm not sure..

i tried a 600hp mo/w tank build yesterday with prot spirit, SoA, divine boon and dismiss condition.. worked pretty well.. at least in uw.. i'm pretty sure it would work in fow as well..

You can even do FoW as a 2-man team, by using a 600hp with prot, soa, sv and av, and a basic smiter. Just use sv and av to drain their energy and if you want to do this even faster, use ignorance to disable healing signet

just did 2 runs with 2 guildies.. well.. it works, but as we had a ss who wasn't really expirienced we were'nt that succesful, but anyway: it works..

the ss just has to be very carefull with drawing aggro.. usually, if the tank pulls well you shouldn't have problems

mo/me tank:
[skill]divine boon[/skill][skill]essence bond[/skill][skill]blessed aura[/skill][skill]protective spirit[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]dismiss condition[/skill][skill]spell breaker[/skill][skill]Sympathetic Visage[/skill]

mo/any smiter:
[skill]holy wrath[/skill][skill]retribution[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]vital blessing[/skill][skill]purge signet[/skill][skill]Signet of Judgment[/skill][skill]Signet of Disruption[/skill][skill]rebirth[/skill]

n/me ss:
[skill]spiteful spirit[/skill][skill]Arcane Echo[/skill][skill]Ancestor's Visage[/skill][skill]awaken the blood[/skill][skill]power spike[/skill][skill]Blood Ritual[/skill][skill]Putrid Explosion[/skill][skill]Desecrate Enchantments[/skill]

i - as the tank - use my normal 60AL armor, since, as far as i saw yet, the same amount of dmg is retributed via holy wrath and retribiution as with a 15AL and the dmg reduction by soa triggers faster..

if anyone expirienced something different plz let me know..

btw.. the build is pretty much copied (sierra phi, zone zella and jessica caliber), except the tank..

feedback welcome.

i just dont see the point except for xp and the hope for good chests, shards arent really worth anything making it not a plentiful farm. However i do enjoy going in with guildies as a full group now and then and questing getting a ton of xp

mostly just for the fun and the excitement.. after a couple of runs it gets boring, of course.. then you'll look for a other challenge, and after a couple of month (and a couple of nerfs) you try it again and search for a new build..
