Hehe, difficult to understand spanish huh?

I started from Longeye's Edge, then I run through Bjora's Mark (Bjora is the same in both languages!!!

), and enter Jaga Morraine to farm.

Of course!, and even any other skill I should have if I had done gwen story almost full .... man.... this char is only for farming, i just run there with skills from the 3 campaign and only 8 hours of gameplay with "her". I think i posted that before haha. Maybe a more "gwen-xperienced" elementalist could answer ya!

You can try either or take Shatter Hex instead of arcane echo just incase they get one in on you.

Nah, I think that there is no need for a remove hex skill, cause you can survive if they put 2 on you (well, with 40-14 hp but survive hehe).

I think that archane echo is better cause you can also replicate obsidian flesh, stoneflesh aura or any spell you want in the run, making you defensive, offensive or both without changing any attrib. or skill.

I am thinking now in a SB+ archane echo 55 monk, cause if you got 16 divine favor you could have it permanently up (i think).... Problem is that you are only a tank and made no damage... or i haven't see how (yet)

Hmm... 18 seconds + 3.6 from 20% enchants mod = 21 ish. They'll get a spell or two, unless you also take Blessed Aura. With it, it will work.

Max out smiting as well and and use Retribution and a few signets? you could go for symbol of Wrath, but they'll scatter. And it would mean you have to get by on very little healing/protection.

Code:

^ much faster for just getting golds, which is all I pick up on this farm anyway. 3 minute clear if they spawn right.

(I have max deldrimor title)

Yeah, sorry, i was on the university and have so much time to write haha.

I wanna say with blessed aura too ^^. if you use with the +20%, you should get around 57% of longer enchants.

Mmm about healing... i dont care... just use Shield of absortion and shielding hands, as the +57% will trigger too, so u will have no problem about being hit by them, you will get 0 damage (whell if you dont have problems with shielding hands, that has some bugs, imo). Same "trick" I used with Tahyakun and even with Jade kirin from Pongmei.

Smiting with Retribution doesnt work on vaettir, as you will get 0 damage and 33% of 0... is... Zero too!.I tried it with it as E/M with no cool results
If i was a calmed person with years to do it, i will take Judge Intervention as it does 180 damage in return :P.

Yeah, i am pretty sure about my words hehehe.

4 air magic is the first air magic level that let's you recharge 25% faster the next 2 spells.

If you cant put 4 at air magic, you'r lacking some rune for sure!

Np!! Enjoy it more when ya got glacial gloves and still get "rich" while doing this ^^

First off AWESOME BUILD!!!!!
Secondly my two cents, I did not need the higher level of air magic, i was just using the glyph to recharge obsidian flash faster, at the max level earth magic stoneflesh recharged before it ran out. I am also not using the totem axe offhand combo, I am using an adept earth staff of enchanting,
Energy+10
Halves recharge of spells 20%
Halves casting time of earth magic spells 20%
Halves casting time of earth magic spells 20%
Enchantments last 20% longer

That seems to do the trick, I was able to kill 32 of them in under 3 mins.

absolutcrobi · Dec 31, 2007, 05:35 AM // 05:35

Yeah this build is the sh!t. 60 seconds later all 36 of them were dead.

I have to make a better one, guess i shouldn't have recorded the video in 1600x1200

Thanks to this build I got my glacial gauntlets in less than a day. very nice job on it and thank you.

Just for the record I seemed to get more drops when using silver armour to kill the vaettir, usually got about 2 a run if I crystal waved them and 5 if I used silver armour.

So what exactly is the build? Is there a place where I can plug in that build code to retrieve it?

if you open up your attributes window, pressk, there is a little icon that looks likea floppy disk, click that then press template code. You can paste that code in there and save it as what ever template you want. then you can load it to what ever character you want(that is a e/me)

Fantastic build, works well (only had 15 earth magic at first, taking -1 to -3 from all of them, now I have 16 it's all good), pretty quick killing, nice drops.

From 2 runs I got 7 glacial stones, 1 gold drop and about 5 purples. Nice. I only stopped because I wanted to go to UW :P

better quality video of this build in action. I spent a good 16 hours this weekend just running this build over and over. My best performance killed 36 of them in 61 seconds.
I have gotten well over 30 golds from here(getting me to rank 2 in wisdom) atleast 20 skill points and 4 and a half ranks in norn title.

This build is also easily modified for killing the Ice imps at the cave in the mineral springs for IDS, not that they are as profitable as the used to be. I had you used a full h/h group to get there, but after than i flagged them way far away and was abel to score one on the first run. You would just need to swap out one of the two 15e spells for stone striker.
