Wow, this is almost depressing. I look under Warrior and find multiple farming builds. Ranger, same..Monk, same....Necro, same...Mesmer, not so much though they are a focused profession.
So, I've been using this ele build and didn't think anyone every really felt like being able to farm minotaurs as an ele.

Before I am to post this with a video and attributes along with the skills and timing, I'd just like to see if there is enough of a crowd to motivate me to install that gamecam and record this.

If this helps, I've gone from 140k xp - 261k xp from this alone. Well, I'll be checking this post within 2 hours.

By all means please go ahead. I don't know which build or tactics you're using, but I think we could use more detail on any of:

1. Earth/Ether Renewal
2. Mixed Fire/Earth Ether Renewal
3. Echoed Flameburst
4. Lava Font to discourage loitering
5. Mist Form/Invicimentalist

It's been a while since I farmed minotaurs, but I'm guessing that the build I used was something like

Ether Renewal (E) -- Elemental Attunement might have been as good or better, but I don't think I'd been to Perdition Rock yet
Fire Attunement
Aura of Restoration
Kinetic Armor
Armor of Earth
Flameburst
Lava Font
Inferno
Arcane Echo
Flare (to keep Kinetic Armor up)

That's 10 spells; I really don't recall which 2 I wound up leaving out.

Edit: I don't think I used Physical Resistance. Indeed, I don't recall using any of the Mesmer stances to farm effectively except Mantra of Lightning vs. gargoyles and to a limited extent Mantra of Flame vs. hydras.

*Hopes that Viperwire isnt using filefront as his host*

Viperwire · Apr 11, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Ok, I am making the video with sound

. But as far as hosting, I was going to host it on my site, eliteviper.com and I just realized that might seem like I'm shooting out a virus, so what is a hoster that I could use with integrated WMplayer? Ty

www.filefront.com

make a free account and you can host files up to 1GB.

Why Sup Energy Storage, as opposed to:

Sup Fire?
No sups at all?

Murder In China · Apr 12, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

The first build was his main concept.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Actually, I had already inferred that from the fact that he used the phrase "main concept" to describe it.

Then you should of "Edit" your post then.

Francis Crawford · Apr 12, 2006, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Why ?

Murder In China · Apr 12, 2006, 02:56 AM // 02:56

Then why bother having it as a function of members to use?

Francis Crawford · Apr 12, 2006, 03:08 AM // 03:08

For the times there actually is something in a post that should be changed.

Obviously.

Murder In China · Apr 12, 2006, 03:09 AM // 03:09

Which it did.

Francis Crawford · Apr 12, 2006, 03:17 AM // 03:17

Bzzt.

You were caught out being a jerk, as usual, only this was one of the times the post you criticized didn't have an error in it.

Viperwire · Apr 12, 2006, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Higher Energy Storage Means Aura Heals For A Little More, And You Will Have More Max Energy To Use.
Though as I did state, that was concept, which worked fine for me from 140k xp to roughly 250k I believe. But before I did a video of that one, I had some guildies test that build out, and I guess I just time it right since I made it. Though the Flame Burst build seems easier, just spam 1 and 2

.

Edit : If Any Of You Need Help With This Build, If Im On My Ele Feel Free To Whisper Viper Wire, or my Ranger, Snuffles The Killer ( Different Accounts) I usually just farm on them.
