Mesmers can solo it in HM too

A bit hard to survive all these arrows, but definitely possible.

The run is very fast, but you can die easily if you make a mistake. Notice that I didn't even try to kill the giant. (maybe morale boost could help)

Really good way for gaining XP if you dont care bout dying while trying

Gratz and thanks.

I am hunting elite skills and ran out of skill points. Now I can gain em really easy and fast.

One thing: it seems that the first giant is sometimes spawning in the first group while the group on the left is patrolling very close to where you want to flag your monk. I do it in 2 parts now, dont know how to do it in one luring run without going too far and losing the bonds.

Furthermore, someone in this thread was saying that he put insidious parasite on a rockshot. That skill is only usefull on giants, cuz it triggers only when an attack hits. If you are hiding for the rockshots they wont hit you...so pointless to use insidious then.

Good job

Could you maybe post the build, attribute points etc? so I can post them on the frontpage?

Build is
Arcane echo
SS
Reckless
Awaken the blood (nice one....)
Animate
Physical resistance
Illusion of weakness
Blood renewal

Wait a sec, now I see it! You run without the bonder. That is of course easier to lure the rocks, but how do you manage to stay alive? What about your tactics?

Kaleena · Jul 04, 2007, 08:06 AM // 08:06

So, my stats are 14 illusion, 8 blood, 12 curses, the rest in inspiration and fast cast.
For the skills, reckless haste, arcane echo and awaken the blood are just facultative. I take these to speed up the kill process

Most important skills are illusion of weakness, physical resistance, blood renewal,animate *something* and SS.
I strongly recommend an armor with +10 against physical or while stanced/enchanted. A shield like geoffer bulwarck (+10 against piercing) and a sword of defense/enchantements should do.

The run is pretty simple, when you enter the map cast illusion of weakness and blood renewal. Then avoid the sand giant at your right (usually not too hard, killing him is also possible, you should take insidious parasite to take him down). From there always keep up physical resistance, try to use blood renewal most of the time, but beware of interrupts!

Then you must very quickly aggro devourers. If you're not fast enough, you will die by arrows and traps. If you can't do it, don't aggro first devourer group close to that giant, just take the others. However, that group left alive might bother you while SSing, attacking from the back

If you need more infos or a screen of the path, just tell me

EDIt: The giant seems to get stuck sometimes... Killing him is needed >< Take Insidous Parasite and a skill to interrupt or put weakness on him.

Level 20 isnt paticulary difficult to get to - possible in about 6 hours. 25 hours isnt paticuly fast.

It can be done in 10 hours from scratch. Congrats on the title

If you really want to be safe on the W/N or even N/W, take Shields Up and Defensive Stance, these will help you dodge the arrows.
I used to farm in Normal Mode with N/W, so it definatly works,

True, although it's not needed with all the bonds

Only danger is when you stap into 5000 stacked traps..just sprint when you want to take your loot. The best thing to do however is creating a minion

Do you really need the bonder, I can run this on my warrior without, bit tricky and traps are a pain but its doable.

i found that if u survivor cguys really want to make this a bit faster, (and safer) , ditch rebirth,(if she has to use it u failed anyways) and have her use succor on you, the extra hp and energy regen makes things much easier, and she can easily handle the energy management with the blessed sig
