(takes a while)
- Snapjaw Windshell

To kill these bosses i changed the build a little
My hp was 105 without dp
Skills:
-Spoil Victor
-Vamp Bite
-Vamp Touch
-PS
-SB
-Balths' Spirit
-Essence Bond
-Mending

Once again, thanks for the great build

How do u get to Siska? Starting from Cavalon or from Jade Flats you have to pass the patrols of carps and scuttle fishes.

I've managed avoid them only once with my mesmer, I arrived to Siska and started my dirty job with IW, no problems at all, then when the boss was nearly falling the idiot carps entered in the aggro circle and wasted all my work.

I'm thinking of doing a dual run, a warrior that cleans the way to Siska from carps and scuttles, and then the mesmer that kills the boss.

Or you can get it in the Leviathan Pits from Telamon the Weapon Crafter.

150 Granite Slabs
50 Chitin Fragments
5000 gp

I'd go with the collector. It's only 5 bone charms and Outcasts drop those like mad.

How did i get there???

I left from the jade flats, heading towards Ssyn. Turned left and then round the beach towards Siska. I find sometimes the way is clear of creeping carp, etc... and sometimes not. When i was touching Siska, no carp entered my aggro bubble. I was quite far into the beach though.

Pic of me killing scourgewind , elder guardian

GREAT BUILD ..... i do it as a mo/n

MelechRic · Sep 14, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Good work! VERIFIED with some modifications to the original build.

The wallows have a nasty tendency to spam low damage Jaundiced Gaze which whittles you down to zero health quickly. I basically got rid of the sacrificing touches because I didn't want to do the wallows any favors. I added Vampiric Touch/Bite which is my main form of damage after Spoil Victor no longer triggers. I also added Unholy Feast for an emergency heal if hp ever gets critically low. I seem to use it at least once per run.

Points are:
15 Blood
12 Prot
8 Smite

In my experience (6 runs) I died about 50% of the time. However, I was never forced to re-zone in order to kill the boss. Even with -15% DP he's doable.

MelechRic: have u tried 2 solo seacrash????

Dr Ripley · Sep 15, 2006, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Seacrash goes down. Goodtimes. I've been trying different spirit builds on Ssun, but he's being a bastard (his horde of naga keep pounding me with dazed and interrupts).

Great work! I'll have to try it. I've been solo-ing Seacrash with my Mo/Me using Conjure Phantasm/Nightmare and IW.

I'll try it on my N/Mo and my Mo/N just to see what I like best.

Here's some homework for you (and anyone else who's interested):

I seem to remember this guy was surounded with wallows as well.

I take Scalewand with my IW mesmer sometimes. The best route I think is out of Cavalon, go southwest across teh coral then take a left around the island (sneaking past a mob here) and then straight East to Scalewand.

The spawn's usually in your favour I find. Soz I don't have a screenie of a map

MelechRic · Sep 15, 2006, 11:32 PM // 23:32

Meh... it's not too bad... though I did die on the first attempt and shortly after the kill.

icallshotgun · Sep 17, 2006, 02:18 AM // 02:18

i will never more thank the day that i decided to keep my necro's presearing armor, 5AL global ftw!

MelechRic · Sep 18, 2006, 02:14 AM // 02:14

Well I finally got around to dealing with Siska. She's no pushover. The Wallow's Bite/Touch of Agony couldn't dent her Ether Feast. I eventually switched out to the two Vampiric Touches. The other critical thing is to move her back towards the cliff wall. If you fight her near the seashore you'll risk aggro of the carp/scuttle group and that's insta-death.

EDIT: You also need some luck getting to Siska. I typically run to her after killing Ssyn. However, there is a group of carp that sometimes blocks the way so you'll just have to check and rezone if it's in the way.

ahhaha, i wanted to ask whether any tried Soulwhisper, guess u answered my question... woohoo! thanks!

IMo any Elder Guardian boss can be solo with this build....i guess.....

MelechRic · Sep 18, 2006, 12:33 PM // 12:33

He's dead in the pic, but he didn't drop. I don't really like how or where I killed him, but I did get him.

You really have two options:

1. Kill Ssyn and head left to the shore. This is the long route and you can pick up Sisk Scalewand on the way if the carp/scuttle patrol isn't too spread out. From Siska you can go under the bridge and lure Snapjaw.

2. Kill Ssyn and head right to the shore. If you hug the right wall you may not cause the Oni mob to spawn. If it doesn't then you're golden and can lure Snapjaw up the shore a bit. The best thing to do is to keep your aggro bubble out of the Jade Sea. If it's in you risk aggro of the carp/scuttle patrol the mingles with Snapjaw's patrol.

Meh... Powerstone isn't selling well anyway.

Yes, any elder guardian is soloable with this build. I haven't gone after Seacrash with it, but others have.

d r e a d375 · Sep 29, 2006, 03:28 PM // 15:28

what about constructs, any1 tried them?

for myself im gonna try ssyn now and if it works the constructs ^^

added: solo ssyn works great, im gonna try constructs now ^^ (let's hope it works :P)
ok i was dead in 5 seconds :P

MelechRic · Sep 29, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

Constructs...

The problem is the mesmers in the mobs with their diversion spam. Then there assassins that remove your enchants. Overall... instant death.

Horay! Someone else with common sense on these boards! I killed im with another build and got the staff on the 4th kill. Nobody should have to worry about that at all.

How do you deal with the ritualists and their Nightmare Weapon spam? On a 55hp it's a real pain in the ass. I guess Silver Armor is killing everything around you before the Naga ritualists cast it on the warriors?

Anyway... nice that you found a build that works for you.
