3. The Way to the Forest

Head right until you get to the rock. Then run to the tower and take the way to the battlefield.
Watch out for the first group of skeletons. Wait until they conglomerate. You shouldn't take aggro when running past them.
If you can't afford that lure the shadow-army group with the 2 eles and 1 mesmer into that group and run like hell.

Now go on to the forest.

4. The Enemys

Spirit Shepherds:
-Lure them with a longbow
-Cast Armor of Earth and Stonestriker
-use watch yourself
-Only Heal when you're hexed with Iron Mist (If only 1 is left heal anytime you want... he won't cast it anymore)
-Get your energy with warriors endurance
-use the attacking skills to kill them

Spirit Woods
-Cast Armor of Earth
-use the attacking skills to kill them
-use watch yourself
-use the signet whenever you need
-use endurance whenever you need

Spiders:
-Cast Armor of Earth and Stonestriker
-use watch yourself
-get them to 40% of their life
-use the attacking skills to kill them

Worms:
-Cast Armor of Earth
-hit them until they die and feel free to use sever artery + gash when you aren't blind

Shadow army:
-Run past them (they use weakness+VIM. I can'T kill them :/ )

5. A few screens

Cleared the first half of the forest and taking a view of the second

Second half/the whole forest is clean now

A little jig

For all who haven't understood the essence of the build yet:
Iron Mist - Hex Spell
For 5-15 seconds, target foe moves 90% slower than normal. That foe gains immunity to damage from all sources except lightning.

Because of stonestriker you will only suffer earth dmg. But you're immune to it

Zweite Hälfte und somit der ganze Wald gesäubert

Did you mean to type that in English? Silly German.

Second half and such is the whole wood complete, right?

Milan-V · Mar 06, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

So logical (SirMad(what was it) had a spirit setting thingey of this)

gj mate

yep right i translated this thread from my original thread on a german fansite
http://www.gw-tactics.de/forum/solo-...,start,54.html
It should sound better now ;P

Geez Dope, youve been cracking out the awesome builds lately!

How long does this usually take? I'm pretty quick with my ranger, but ill definetly give this a go.

The.D0pefish · Mar 06, 2007, 09:37 PM // 21:37

i think this is a bit slower than the beach+spider - run
Should be around ~40-50 mins

btw. i don't have a ranger but i guess rangers could use smth. similar....
maybe this:
1. Armor of Earth
2. Stonestriker
3. Marksman's Wager
4-6. Attacks of your choice
7. Troll Ugnet
8. Stormchaser

just an idea. It would be kind if anyone would test it

Crazyvietguy · Mar 07, 2007, 12:00 AM // 00:00

Well by my ranger I meant the old R/Me forest farm thats still very effective.
Thats not bad time for a Forest run, mine usually goes to about 30 mins

Very solid build!

Arkantos · Mar 07, 2007, 12:18 AM // 00:18

Nice build, gonna try it out when I log on. Is warriors endurance really needed though? You use a 5 energy spell every 22 seconds and a 10 energy spell every 30 seconds.

drakun01 · Mar 07, 2007, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Good job man! You just saved my warrior ( I don't use her for anything except ettins anymore)

you're signet will cost 10 mana ;P

Primal Echoes - Nature Ritual
Create a level 1-8 Spirit. For creatures within its range, Signet rings cost 10 energy to use. This Spirit dies after 30-126 seconds.

Arkantos · Mar 07, 2007, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Yeah I just noticed that lol.

The build is really nice. Sometimes I have problems getting to the forest because the skeletals don't move or the mesmer keeps chasing me.

The.D0pefish · Mar 07, 2007, 10:04 AM // 10:04

yeah the the way is quite nasty :/
but if you get into the forest it works....
i could show you how i run.... but i'm playing on european server

Why stone striker? Why not stoneflesh aura?

Because if you bothered to read, you'd notice stone striker + iron mist makes you immune to damage.

The.D0pefish · Mar 08, 2007, 10:30 AM // 10:30

yeah plz don't ask question if you haven't even read the post -.-
stoneflesh aura might be possible but i prefer it this way

Nice original find, gg

I wonder if this works on other characters as well. 2 bad about degen from poison.

My-way Ftw · Mar 08, 2007, 04:04 PM // 16:04

3 letters, wow.

Fantastic find, ill give this a whirl later

Couple of queries.

Have you tried Witte's Build (W/Rt) For forest? Can you honestly say whether this one seems faster (I think this one is faster due to the added degen)?

Do any creatures interrupt? I dont want people messing with my heal sig :P

I, like most people are pretty sceptical about Warriors Endurance, for the first few runs ill take it, then see if i can find an alternative

Maybe Zealous Sword + hmmm a nic(er) warrior elite :P

Last question, does Lightning Touch go through your armour/immunity?

Thanks for sharing the build, gonna go get the earth skills now :P

i've tried his build a few time ago...
I think it's fast for the eles but slower for the spiders.

the spiders+worms will interrupt spells but not your heal sig

i tried without it but it doesn't work :/
You just need too much energy (10 for every heal sig)

no it doesn't
