Gonna post a a mesmer variant that works really well for this and the rt boss in the same map.

The build:

Auspicious Incantation before Panic, always and only. I recommend Syska's Staff (inspiration), since you got little fast casting and 3 sec spell on inspiration line. The one care you need to have is to pull byzzr to the edge, so you can get loot safelly after without risking a death. I got a gold dragon scythe (sin dagger), rare skin, 15^50 from him =D

Have fun!

So wait... the Ritualist Boss... Chkkr Brightclaw... can be done the same way?

I suppose you'd get to him from Jade Flats....
I'm not sure whether that involves any great risk in getting past Salke Fur Friend's crew or not.... but even then.... Where do you start on Brightclaw from? On top of the steps?

Once I'm done collecting Elite Monk Tomes (for use; not sale)... I might want to stock up on Elite Ritualist Tomes (mmmm VwK for everyone)... ^_^

Thanks alot for sharing this simple and quick 30 second run

SV works much faster then SS as previously described by Arkantos and others. Ignorance helps alot too. Managed to get the Green on my first run and a second one soon after. Other finds worthy of mention are a gold R10 Gothic axe and a few EXP scrolls. Hopefully I can find some Elite Monk tomes and UW/FOW scrolls soon

Only problem I have with using SV is that.... it is on its own in Blood Magic. All the other good hexes that work well against the boss are in Curses.
I guess when it is all put together, it kinda evens out.

ArTy · May 01, 2007, 12:49 PM // 12:49

Yeah but combine SV with Awaken the Blood and your Curses are boosted too

Since SV does 100+ dmg for both attacks and spells I love it ^_^

Got my 3rd Green now, after I get one tome I'm on to other places hehe.

Same can be done outside Unwaking waters Kurzick side, theres a Shiroken Rit Boss that drops Kaolin wand. Havent tried yet, but the farm in normal mode was always same build as Byzzr.

gaiaplay · May 01, 2007, 03:35 PM // 15:35

over 80 runs and still no tome

Song Hye Jin · May 01, 2007, 03:46 PM // 15:46

Can we farm with Ele ?
Thanks !

Yeah, the boss with spirit light weapon. He can be a little tricky, and Ill describe it shortly. Exit from jade flacs, and go down your way until him. Fur friend won't even get near to you. Have a long bow to pull him, all way up those stairs and hide behind the wall. The rest is all the same. The BIG difference is, there's a patrol that will come from the botton of the stairs (a dragon moss, one tainted necro and the primal rage ...thing). If the boss used recuperation, he will manage to stay alive since he will use spirit light, if not. He will probably die. That's where you will HELP the boss by killing the warrior hitting him, and then you just sit behind the wall watching the boss killing the other 2. In case you know he will die, cast emphaty on him, and time an energy burn as your last hit, so you still get the drops.

I discovered about that patrol for myself.... -_-; .... They went so far past me when I avoided them that I figured Salke Fur Friend's group would take care of them for me.... Instead... I got ambushed by them coming back the other way... >_<;

I'm still trying, though I have absolutely EPIC lag at the moment.

Thibor · May 02, 2007, 04:23 AM // 04:23

Thnx for the build. After about 45 runs I got 4 greens 2 Tomes and 1 Fissure Passage scroll. Lotta work but my new monk likes the scrolls

Sucks that noone wants the greens though. Practically gave them away.

Only 3 skills you need, and class can go /N and do it (maybe not warriors and paragons because of their 2 energy regen.)

Meh I did it with war...

I actually posted something like this awhile ago slight differences more bosses you could solo but same idea. There are two Vairants two it an SS and a SV.

Attributes:

Curses: 16
Domination: 10
Inspiration: 9

Spitefule Spirit (Elite)
Reckless Haste
Price of Failure
Spirit of Failure
Spirit Shackles
Backfire
Diversion
Ether Feast

For Certain Bosses Sub-out (Can lower amount of attribute points in Dom)

Backfire for Insidieous Parasite
Reckless for Phsical Resistence

List of known bosses that I can farm in HM

(The following 3 can be done in one run)
Craw Stonereap: throw everything on him and heal with Ether Feast. There is an easy wall to use.
Zarnas Stonewrath: only need to put backfire and SS on him. He dies quick although can be hard to get behind pillars before he hits you.
Meril Stoneweaver: Throw a hex on him, then when he removes it cast Spirit Shackles and keep casting diversion. Once you drain his energy and prevent the hex removal he will start trying to wand you and kill him self like the other bosses

Chkrr Thousand Tail: Same tactics like Meril Stoneweaver. Use diversion and spirit shackles to prevent troll Ungent and he drops like a rock.

(can do the following 2 together, have not tried in HM yet but I could do it in normal, also bring Insideous and physical resistence.
Pain Eater: pull guys with a bow (they should come one at a time) then run back to spot where bamboo comes out. Kill all the guys off and then pull him. Treat like a monk boss.
Skill Eater: same as above

Byzzr Wingmender: easy and already stated

Chkkr Birghtclaw: start form the flats. Pull him with a bow from the top fo stairs and run down seeking cover behind the pillar but don't attack yet. A patrol will come when they are about to aggro you run up the stairs. Brightclaw will fight them. Run down and throw backfire on the dragonmoss and SS if you can. Brightclaw should be able to kill the other two. When he does let him go back to his spot, pull with bow, run to bottom of stairs, and then kill him.

Chkkr Locust Lord (I use to be able to do him in normal mode but not yet in HM). Might have to take reckless haste and price of failure so that you will take less damage along with Insidieous. (Although I am sure there are easy builds to farm him with out there)

Flower Spiritgarden: hard one to kill because you have to cast SS when he uses preservation so he kill it off faster. Treat like a monk though and when his energy is drained he is easy. You can pull him from the ramp by letting him run into your aggro circle. Don't go beyond the top of the ramp as guys will spawn.

Stsou Swiftscale: Bring arcane echo to kill other rangers with SS and treat like Chkrr. The spot is harder to explain though. You need to be on the north side south towards him (so going form the top of the map down). The first bend you pass is the corner you should use as the corner by the boss makes them all run around it.

Whispering Ritual Lord: Pull him with a bow from the bridge and get him to come to the botton of the stairs. If you are slightly past the top of the stairs the angle will preven his attacks. Treat like a monk and watch out for patrols on the right and left side of the bridge as it is a narrow fit.

(haven't tried any of the following bosses but I could kill them all in normal mode fore HM was released)

Chehbaba Roottripper: take arcane echo for SS, physical resistence, and Insidieous if you can. Small out cropping to the left against the wall that can be used.

Tomton Spiriteater: Pretty easy since they are up top of a ledge. Kill the warrior yetis that come down and then it is easy pickens. Watch out for wallos though as there is a patrol that goes by there.

There are more bosses but I am to lazy to type them all. Plus I have a final in about an hour so muh. Enjoy!

Can anyone post a build that uses Warrior/Necro? Thanks... I would really appreciate it. Really.. Warrior anything if it works.

Krazi Bastid · May 04, 2007, 10:17 PM // 22:17
