Curse

The Warrior solo Titan build is almost complete. Right now I can kill any number of earth, wind, and water Titans with ease. I can kill Rots too, but they're not pleasant. The only thing I can't kill right now are the Wild Growths because the poison is too much.

Currently, I have a working W/Mes build (and I cleared the whole zone with it and got 4 Magmas, as you can see), and I'm trying to make a viable W/Mo build. More to come...

Nice to see you are working this out. Have you tried the 77 SB that we pm's about or are you just going to stick to solo for now?

I find Titan farming in kryta a waste of time. Crappy drops lots of blind but it's fun when your bord. Will you relase your build?

dont feel no pain · Feb 26, 2006, 12:43 PM // 12:43

man i been meaning to try them out with my warrior but i never bothered with defend droks lol , let me IW build on the w/mes with ele resistance and + heal sigit and watchyourself for extra defence , sprint , and few more , well good job anyways kvndoom , cant wait to seee the build

W/Mo is pretty much impossible, just not enough defense or offense, sadly...

Here's the W/Mes build, which is kinda funny (I'll explain that)

Skills #6 and #7 are just filler, seriously. I suppose you could use sprint and whatever, I just couldn't find anything worth having. This is really a 6-skill build at heart. Watch Yourself doesn't do much good because being blind and using IW doesn't give you much adrenaline. It might charge up once every 2 minutes. But do notice that this is a Gladiator's Armor-friendly build. The +80 armor from Dolayk and Ele Resistance (and +5 on my sword) negate almost all magic attacks (except for armor penetrating ones) to 1 or 0 damage. With that much defense, you can use Healing Signet almost freely and take very minimal damage from most spells.

Equipment: Any sword, +5 Defense pommel highly recommended. 45/2 stance or enchanted shield (stance is a safer bet, just in case you lose Illusion of Weakness)

Strategy: Hmmm, I can't say who to kill first, but definitely save the Earth Titans for last. They are total pushovers... Here's the dilemma- Water Titans use Maelstrom, which can interrupt your IW if you're not paying attention. Not a major problem. Wind Titans, however, do the most damage, since Chain Lightning and Enervating Charge have 25% AP (CL does about 20-22 damage per hit, EC does 10-12). However, Wind Titans also help you heal yourself, because with weakness and blind on you, I Will Survive gives you 11 seconds of +6 health regen. So in a mixed group, it doesn't hurt to leave 1 Wind Titan standing for a little free healing in a pinch. IoW is good emergency health; keep it on at all times. But a mob with 2 or more Wind Titans can cause a lot of trouble (and there's at least one mob that has 3), so you wanna try to get to them first under those conditions.

I made 2 runs today, once with favor and once without. The first run netted me a whole bunch of purple and gold armors, the second almost nothing worth keeping (I didn't clear the whole zone though, but it wasn't looking good). Keep that in mind...

Will it make you rich? Probably not, but it's a challenge and a time sink. That's enough for me. If anyone finds something useful for skills 6 and 7, please do share. Enjoy!

I guess I'm lucky then, I got 5 or 6 gold armors last night ouside LA as an IW mesmer.

I'll definitely try this W/Me build.

Ken Dei · Feb 27, 2006, 01:52 AM // 01:52

Not to burst your bubble, but to my knowledge there have been 2-3 sucessful W/Me Titan Soloing Builds posted already, and I've posted my own W/Mo Build for Krytan Titans almost a month ago.

But then your version of the W/Me might be BETTER then the current versions so don't stop, I applaud the effort. Also, the "I Will Survive Skill" might fit nicely into my W/Mo build, something I hadn't thought of, thanks.

sh4ft3d · Feb 27, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

Im liking this idea. 45/2 enchant magmas!!!! *faints at the possibility*

kvndoom · Feb 27, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

That's cool, I guess I'm just another sufferer of Usethesearchbuttonfoolitis.

MeNoFat: Haven't gotten the chance to team up with an SB monk yet, mostly because this weekend was pretty much shot. Friday and Saturday I was out of town, today what little I played was between naps, and now I'm at work. Heh.

lambda the great · Feb 27, 2006, 03:41 AM // 03:41

So IW does work when your blinded eh? And for a W/mo build you could just have Defy pain, Dolyak and WY that should be enough...

W/Mo build to farm Titans.

Skills:
1. Adrenal attack skill
2. Watch Yourself!
3. Mending (Yes the noob skill)
4. Dolyak Sig, or Endure Pain if you don't have the Sig.
5. Balthazar's Spirit
6. Mark of Protection (Elite)
7. Healing Breeze
8. Shielding Hands

Attribute Pts:
Weapon Skill: 13 (or whatever req. you have)
Tactics: 7
Strength: 8
Healing Prayers: 8
Protection Prayers: 7

Upon leaving town, cast Balthazar's Spirit on yourself, wait for energy, then cast Mending. You should have anywhere from 10-15 energy now.

Wind Born Titans: These are a matter of sheer endurance, they blind you and you'll just have to endure it. The good news is eventually they cast Chain Lightning to much and exhaust themselfs to no energy, therefore they stop blinding you and you can kill them quickly. Kill these, first.

Water Born Titans: These are a matter of focus. Watch them carefully, even if they are not targeted. Be sure to identify when they're about to cast the skill Maelstrom, it appears as a water crystal in front of them. Then do one of the following things

-Move, move away or to the side till you're out of range of the attack point.

-Tank, if all your defense skills are charged, not likely, use them and maelstrom dmg is reduced to 0. Or if you have Mark of protection charged, use it, good tactic for a fast health+energy regen is to stand in a maelstrom with this on.

Kill these Titans, 2nd

Earth Born Titans: These are a matter of defense and healing. These Titans spit out dmg fast, using Stone Daggers, but if you keep your defense up by alternating skills, and keep healing breeze on you, they become an energy regen factory. Kill these Last.

Combos:
Titans are easy to kill individually, but in groups they can be lethal to the unfocused or unpracticed player. It's best to take on only groups of two and three to begin with, then when proficient with the build try four.

Key points:
-2-3 second glances: watch your skills, health and most of all your mini map, patrols are lethal.
-Watch Water Borns: Practice this skill at all cost, most deaths are because of a surprise Maelstrom.

Loot:
-Titan Armor, usually Normal or Purple. (1 Steel, 6-7 iron)
-Wands, Staves, Bows, usually blue (1 Steel (wands), 9-11 wood (staves and bows))
-Molten Claw, salvages to granite slabs, I just like them as trophies.
-Magmas Shield, Strength Sheilds, Awesome Design, usually normal, req. 9, 10
-Magmas Arm, Hammer.
-Gold, usually 100+ per pile
-Other Random Loot, usually anything that deviates from the list above is very good in mods, req., etc.

My best record is 4 titans at once:
2 Wind, Water, Earth
2 Water, Wind, Earth

My build got recognition. ^_^ My day is officially made.

P.S. If you can find a W/?? build to solo fire/ash titans I will be very, very impressed/grateful.

P.P.S Don't feel bad, everyone forgets the search button at least once. I have.

kvndoom · Feb 27, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

I've had them in mind for a while, there's just something very unpleasant about being on fire 100% of the time. I'll look into it.

schutz · Feb 27, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

Ken Dei's build is way to slow, best thing to do is use imp farming build but change it slightly and avoid wind titans, you can take on as many as you want then, but i think i will try this IW one out of boredom

kvndoom · Feb 27, 2006, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Avoid? Never!!! I did remember today to take my Ice Imp farming shield out of storage (how COULD I have forgotten about that???)

After all, -5 is better than -2... SLAUGHTER!

Oooh, and they drop Fellblades too! Yeah, this could be the start of a nice relationship...

Racthoh have tried to solo those Fire Titans but failed, the constant -7 pips from burning and the imps makes it impossible.

kvndoom · Feb 27, 2006, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Here's the final cut (from me, anyway):

Drops IW to 25 per hit, so you don't quite kill a Titan in a single cast (takes about 85% of its life though), but, when you're not blind, the sword damage, bleeding, and deep wound take out the other types really fast and it's not as energy reliant. All you need is a req. 9 or better sword. You could, with this, switch to wyvern armor (don't need as much energy as often), change your sword to an enchantment mod, and still take the same damage (+5 from armor, -5 from sword mod). 36 seconds of IW should be enough to finish one Titan even at 25 per swing. My only enchant mod is on a borrowed sword, so I can't test it for sure, but I think it would be enough.

Once the Windies are all dead, it's business as normal, you'll only need energy for refreshing Elemental Resistance.

Wulp, I'm done with this build. See 'ya after the rebalance!

EDIT: ok, so I lied...

I'm going to bed now...

Unseen Tyrant · Feb 28, 2006, 12:33 AM // 00:33

I have tried your titan farming build kvndoom...very nice...but for that little 6th and 7th skill slot problem...i use 2 interupt skills. This really help againts Wild Groths. With your build it is easy to survive the poison, and with interupts u can stop him from using troll ungent.

Unseen Tyrant · Feb 28, 2006, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Can you plz post a map of all the spots u hit cause everytime i go out and try a path and end up being vaught in between like 3-5 wind titans, wild growths, waters, earths, and thos big guys that i dont remember there name.

Weeping Wind · Feb 28, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

I am at Abaddons at the moment. How many quests will I need to do till I reach the one you guys farm on? And what is the name of the quest you farm on?

Thanks
