Arrow Does Vengeful Khanhei still work?

Hello! while i tried tosleep last night (stayed up late the whole weekend, couldnt get to sleep at bedtime) i was thinking if Sheild of judgement no longer works, does VwK? i was going to make a new ritualist to farm, but not sure if it works.

if it doesnt, , please tell me how it doesnt. (enemies flee, stop attacking Etc.)

I read recently in another forum that it seems to be triggering on every second hit.

I haven't had too many problems with VwK farming. It just takes a bit longer than usual because the mobs have to return to finish themselves off on ya. Just farm mesmers and rangers if speed is an issue for you. They do not run around as much as the melee critters do.

Yep, ranged targets not an issue but as Razorwood said aggro more than 3 melee attackers and you'll only have 3 hitting you at any one time.

This can be tested out in Wajjun Bazaar...when you go out of the Marketplace there are 6 Jade Brotherhood...2 groupd of 3. If you aggro one group you can kill them not a problem. If you aggro both groups they will all start attacking you then three will leg it and stand somwhere...when one dies one that ran away will come back.

thanks for the tip!

along with everyone else. so basically what you are saying is that VwK farming doesnt work for melee anymore, but it does for ranged?

I have been messing around and looking where it can be used. You can farm Heket at Barbarous Shore (make sure its not a group with a healer). Also works on Roaring Ethers. If you go Rit/Mo you can even manage to kill Sapphire and Ruby Djinns.. but its quite troublesome and difficult.

But personally i think the best place to farm is good old Cantha at Rhea's Crater .

When I farm in UW does SV or AV work on the smites? Did i even need that to kill them becuse i just started the VwK build so i couldln't have done it before the nerf. It would be nice if someone included a build if SV or AV doesn't work to kill the smites or tell me ingame. I know the basics of it but i don't know how it works after the nerf.

@beatbox

first you buy Factions then you go out of a town and start killing.

A nice general answer to a general question. Try to be more specific and in doubt, start a thread about asking for advice for a particular boss that you wish to farm.

I havn't really played PvE since the farming nerf. PvE in GW was bad to begin with due to it not really being the type of PvE i like in games liek this. I like long hours of leveling getting loot and talking with freinds and wahtnot.
I like being able to solo monsters and pick up loads of drops even if they are crap.

I never was able to really do that in GW PvE so i jsut play PvP now. don't even have PvE cahractors any more except my PvE rit whos been around since i loaded up GW. couldn't jsut delete him... =/

I miss the diablo 2 gameplay of being powerful and whatnot. mass destruction with spells..

GW in PvE plays more like counterstrike or a FPS team based combat game than a RPG.

SEARCH IT!!! They are in the forum somewhere. If worse comes to worse, go here http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page


As for the leveling thing, i personally like the cap because it takes away from the fact that people just sit around leveling all the time. However I do wish people were more proactive for socializing on GW. Groups are not as willing to be groups anymore, i like the old days of early GW where you'd sit for 2 hours in thunderhead keep looking for a decent group to beat the mission with.

Personally I think farming in the mines outside Jennur's Horde is pretty good if your used to the VwK build you can clear almost the entire mines and theres usually 3-4 chests.

Theres still places to farm in Cantha and Elona. Even with this weekends nerf to AV/SV (down to 8 seconds typically on vwk rits), you can still farm the old haunts. The only bosses affected by the AV/SV change is the Paragon ones like Darksong and Pehnsed - it used to take 1 min to kill them, now it's much harder. If anyone has a workaround for them, I'd like to hear it.
