Default Gloom Farming with EA?

I heard this would be possible but I don't know how?

Maybe with those skills but I think that wouldn't be efficient because of the short time of Shadowform and its recharge time:

Shadow of Haste
Glyph of Elemental Power
Shadowform
Death's Charge
Sliver Armor
Crystal Wave
Teinai's Cristals

maybe too: Shadow Refuge/Grasping Earth

Perhaps can somebody of you throw light on my question. ty

The chances of a gloom shield dropping in UW are so slim, your best bet, there, are the chests...

Please back to topic. I asked about a method to farm in ravenheart gloom as E/A. Obviously there is a efficient build to farm there because often I see E/A entering gloom. But I doubt that they do this with my suggested build.

Deadly Paradox would speed it up but it would be still too slow (killing one by one).

E/A is a boss solo build... it works great on Scar eater and heaps of other bosses it can even work on ghial if u are good...

I haven't heard about it being ne good in UW though.

lol, more UW references....
I believe many people do solo chest runs, and E/A would be a pretty good combo to use.
As far as soloing gloom, the problem you will face is the dervish (and necro i think) breaking your enchants. And once obsidian flesh ran out, interrupts will get you. I tried this awhile back as E/D mystic regen/silver armor/stoneflesh aura/obsidian flesh with a bonder monk and a ranger for quicken zephyr, but that still wasn't enough for the first mob.

I use the E/A build to farm torment gems in gloom.

Skills:

Glyph of Elemental Power
Shadow Form
Death's Charge
Sliver Armor
Obsidian Flame
Teinai's Crystals
Shadow of Haste
Dark Escape

After the first group has spawned and clumped together, cast Shadow of Haste back near the gate. Then walk up towards your target in the mob. Cast Glyph of EP, then Shadow Form, then Death's Charge to go into the mob. When in the mob, cast Sliver and your 2 ele spells. When Shadow Form begins flashing that its about to end, cast Dark Escape to cancel out Shadow of Haste and teleport back safely. Rinse and repeat.

It's not a very fast way of killing, but it's effective and safe and will get u some torment gems and gold drops.

I use deadly paradox, so I can farm 2x as fast. Also I use recall on the adept of whispers, so I don't need shadow of haste and a cancel stance.

Ooo, that's a better idea. *changes his build*
Here's the template:

And Lycan, you probably had a space before or after the string of characters when you copied what I posted before. That would make it unselectable.
