Ever since the Spirit Bond nerf I haven't seen any farming builds for Shiro'ken, so I was thinking about some skills that would work well together to farm
them. Gear:

A 20% HSR wand for healing prayers, and
A 20% HSR focus for healing prayers.

Attributes:

Illusion Magic: 10
Divine Prayer: 10+3+1
Healing Prayers: 9+3
Protection Prayers: 7+3

Protective Spirit
Arcane Echo
Healing Hands{E}
Mantra of Concentration
Sympathetic Visage
Ancestral Visage
Balthazar's Spirit
Blessed Aura

This is theoretical as many of my builds are as I am unable to test them for various reasons. The idea behind this is when you leave from Harvest temple there will be 1 group on the stairs below, this is when you cast your 2 maintaining enchantments. Then you run down the stairs, and before encountering them cast the Mantra, PS, Arcane Echo, then HH and run past them towards the rest of the groups, get as far as you can with that HH running and when its ending cast the echoed version and stop. Now cast your visages, and redo PS and HH when they are ending. I believe only 1 cycle of Visages should kill the Shiro'ken in HM due to faster attack speed but I'm not sure. If someone with a monk this far into factions could test it out and report back to me I would be greatful. For a long time I've been looking for a Shiro'ken farming build because I took a hiatus from GW at the time when SB builds were big. If you know of any other builds that work for farming them in HM please post them or have any suggestions for the 1 I layed out.

There is a ele build that uses Shadow form. It is the shadow form deaths charge PBAoE nuker.

Hold on.

Protective Spirit and no +20% Enchants mod?

Something about this smells of fail.... or at least needing of testing.

and apart from that... do 2 HSR mods of the same atribute actually stack or does one cancel out the other (ie +20%[only one works], +40%[parallel stacking] or +45%[serial stacking])

They stack... but what does that matter if Protective Spirit is guaranteed not to last as long... and one can maintain a minimum of 105 health?

They stack to +36% I believe, 1 - (.8 * .8) = .64 chance of not having a HSR. Technically it should be 32 % of half recharge and 4 % of quarter recharge, but since +recharge is capped it is 36% of half recharge.

Well I would assume that with Balthazars spirit you can recast Protective spirit at will due to your increased energy, so it's length doesn't matter that much. On the other hand I'm pretty sure you would want +20% enchant on Healing Hands since it is your only healing source.

I'll give it a go once in a few minutes, sounds good tbh

but might need something extra for the archers, or just ignore em

btw Wand is a no go, take a 1 handed weapon with + ench bonus instead, because otherwise the assasins will cast that no spell hex.. (shadow shroud or something)

Their lifesteal is damn nasty, so far haven't been able to kill anything, due to time limit
(and it's also nasty to work as luxon in a kurzick ruled explorable where the only shrine is gaurded by kurzicks, so dying means you need to restart)

Woo killed 1 shiroken assasin >< my current max, sorry chap it doesn't seem to work

And above all that, they now run away from you due to that update, once they get low life and see more then 4 other melee allies bashing you they run back to heal :/

Daldaen · Oct 31, 2007, 07:56 PM // 19:56

bah thanks for the attempts everyone.. kinds forgot that you cant have a wand and a 20% enchanting weapon at the same time hehe. K i think it may work in NM but does anyone have a build for HM????

its quite possible, just replace HH and archane with Shield of absorbtion and shielding hands, run 100 hp with +30 15-1 offhand and take the groups 1 at a time, quite possible, quite easy, also posible with a 600/smite if you have a good 600
