Targeting yourself will get them to cast most of the time; however, sometimes they won't seem to, I have no clue why. Casting on yourself always seems to get them to quickly follow, though.

It works definitely, had been doing this since the hero system came out. You can make HERO A target HERO B and cast a maintained enchantment HERO B by selecting HERO B's name in the party list and have HERO A cast it on the hero. Try it it works. Had been doing 3 man farm with my heroes. Was fast.

Hi guys its real easy,

1) as stated deslect the auto cast (look on keys in options for button if you have reasigned already), once de-selected big red circle with cross thru will appear
2) select yourself as target
3) click on button (green tick will appear) the hero will then cast strt away

works first time every time, have the skill turned off and manual cast.

Is it possible to do this with a monk hero, as I've just got my ranger to doa and my monk is miles away.

Jhadur · Jan 15, 2007, 06:40 PM // 18:40

Is it possible for someone to do a video of this as I can't seem to get the hang of it

Thanks in advance.

Not possible unless u are superman. Cos u need to be the monk to superposition ur self so the mobs surround u nicely so famine will takes effect with AV/SV to all enemies when u get strike by melee.

If u use a hero how would u even notice if ur hero will be doing damage to all the enemies constantly. Even if you know, it would be very very hard.

I would actually dare to say that this farm is one of the more advanced farm especially if you are doing using heroes like me. Real human players need perfect coordination and knows what they are doing. Tried with my guildies they can't get the hang of recasting spirits and stuff. LOL so I ended up with my heroes.

Jhadur can't help u much I tried at least 50 retries before I get the hang of it and know what's going on. 90% of the time nowadays I suceed, 10% is bad spawn and lag. Just hope a kind soul post it for you. Else trial and error.

HTW · Jan 18, 2007, 02:54 PM // 14:54

Can someone please post there drop rate,excluding breaks and other activities that do not involve the farm?

Since the last update that messed up the zoning from one town to the next, the drop rates for titan gems has really dropped as i have noticed. But im pretty sure there are other's who beg the difference. Anyways the build is fun you can probably still get around 60-70-80k for each titan gems which is the main reason for farming, along with the LB points. Anyhow the drops rates for me 3 weeks ago was around 3-4 titan gems every 2hrs with hero. Now i get luck if i get 1-2 in the same time frame.

kielus · Jan 18, 2007, 06:52 PM // 18:52

just a question, wouldn't it be better for ranger to take watchful spirit (+2 regen, and mending requires 3 in healing for +2 regen). and balth's spirit instead of succor. Then monk would take Lightbringers Gaze and hopefully will be able to kill the remaining Titans.

+ i would be VERY thankful if you posted how you manage to get the torment gemstones, because in the very first 4 groups there are no melees... and that's bad + they keep daze on you

edit:
you can't keep up SB ALL the time can you?? just out of curiosity

yes you can thanks to QZ

kielus · Jan 19, 2007, 02:46 PM // 14:46

but there's a small pause between 2 qz's. as there are no margonites anymore, there is only 1 qz, so it has normal recharge of 60 sec. Or that small pause between 2 qz's is fully covered with SB last time?? i might be wrong, if so plz correct me
Thx,

Cygnus_Zero · Jan 19, 2007, 05:01 PM // 17:01

It seems anet nerfed the drop rate of gems. I was also doing solo stygian farming and used to get 4 per run. Now im lucky if I get 1. Horrible. Just to teach the farmers a thing or 2, it's now very difficult for a normal team of 8 people to walk away satified for their hard work.

kw_rock · Jan 19, 2007, 06:03 PM // 18:03

I don't see a nerf, considering when I'd farm stygian gems, i'd get 1 every 4 runs, not 4 every 1 run. I doubt they nerfed it. You are just getting the BAD odds, since you've been getting 4 every run instead of lets say... the 1 or 2 they planned. So now you're getting the bad end.

If someone doesn't get an ecto every run, they bitch about a nerf, if someone doesn't get a certain item when they kill a boss, they claim nerf. SHUT UP ABOUT THE NERFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!1 !!!!!1111!!ONEONE!!!eleven!!!!!

Or better yet, cry me a river, cause i'm in the mood for some swimming.

Also, you can always keep SB up. Unless there is one margonite left to kill. Then, before it dies, recast QZ and throw on SB and boom, once again, you'll have SB as much as you need. The best way to understand farming is actually know the skills.

Does this still work after skills update?

yes it does. but after the update it has become more difficult, since cast time of SoA has been altered to one second (instead of .25secs) and ancestors visage has been altered too, it only lasts half as long now, but recast time has been lowered down to 20 secs, so its only an energy problem, since you have to cast them more frequently

Pjstaab · Feb 02, 2007, 10:50 PM // 22:50

I'll ask my guild leader to monk and try it out.

kielus · Feb 03, 2007, 12:24 PM // 12:24

ye well i have to admit... when i began using this build i did a terrible mistake - i put my att's into inspiration, not illusion and still i managed without problems to do it... later i realised that and lmao'ed about myself for long time.... anyways it's still doable ^^"
