Curse

I think it might be helpful to some newer players if we suggested some farming builds that work without the great Prophecies-only or Factions-only skills.

Here's one elementalist idea:

Elemental Attunement (E)
Earth Attunement
Stoneflesh Aura
Armor of Earth
Aura of Restoration
Aftershock
Stone Daggers
Optional, which in many cases will be Mantra of Resolve

It's not super-fast -- most of your kills will be via Stone Daggers -- but it will make you some money in a variety of districts.

Enchantment-extending weapon mods are nice but not crucial. When-enchanted mods are nice. The collectors' Earth focus item in Gandara would be nice, but shields actually can work better.

Avoid mobs with enchantment stripping -- for example, no mixed mobs of Kournans -- or ones with more healing than you can overpower. And rangers (e.g., heket, rain beetles) are slow to kill with elemental damage.

If you face self-healing via Healing Signet, take Rust.

most of the best skills have come from all over the 3. its too hard to make great build from just core. there are only 25 core skills btw.

Per profession?

Unless you're suggesting that people who own Nightfall only shouldn't even bother farming because it's hopeless, that's pretty off-topic for this thread.

IS that what you're suggesting?
