This build absolutely rocks! After just four runs, I have 26 glacial stones. I did not get many golds as some people said they did. I only got one gold during the four runs.

just as a side note, do not have Blood Washes Blood unfinished or the lower half of spawns do not appear, meaning only 36 spectrals to kill.

Here's the build i have used for quite some time now.....

Glyph of Swiftness
Obsidian Flesh
Sliver Armor
Storm Djinn's Haste
Crystal Wave
Tanai's Crystals
Mantra of Earth
Stoneflesh Aura

I have full geomancer armor, +20% enchant staff, 16 earth, 4 air, 9 inspiration, the rest in energy storage......you dont need much energy, it will be FULL the whole time regardless.

I use storm djinn's to speed up the run there, and the runs themselves. With the extra run speed, you don't get bodyblocked (since ob flesh slows u to a crawl). Like this you can do all 60 of them in HM in about 4 to 5 minutes if you cut it into 2 groups and use glyph of swiftness twice per recharge of ob flesh...(once on ob flesh and sliver, once on the crystals).

Thanks, nice guide

Tried it last night for 1.5 hours and got:

48 stones
5 golds (mostly rubbish)
1 black dye
5 Mesmer Tomes
+ hundreds of other whites/blue/purples

I had my doubts about this build, but I am very impressed. There is no AoE so they don't run around. Very solid. Thank you.

Bar has been working great for me. Record time w/o speed buff is 6 mins. I can manage to get them in 2 large aggros. Like others, I have noticed fewer drops when the "death blow" that kills them is anything but Silver Armor. Tons of Golds, plenty of glacial stones, few r9 swords, lockpicks, mesmer tomes, but no dyes other than, strangely enough, green and purple

I like to speed it up by using crystal wave/teinai's heat 5 times (not each, but overall) so they are on very little health, then let Sliver kill them off.

/add merchant pls

kainmodious · Jan 15, 2008, 11:03 PM // 23:03

can you usse this build to farm elemental swords too? or is the damage the moniliths do too high for armor? just wondering cause then you could have non stop time in temple instead of running in and out.

kainmodious · Jan 15, 2008, 11:23 PM // 23:23

ok i just tried it and it dont work

they can interupt you pretty fast so you cant get obsidian flesh up then they just degen the crap out of you.

they dont have a skill that will interrupt you...

with 16 Earth and 20% mod you should have OB all the time before it runs out...

Marverick · Jan 16, 2008, 02:10 AM // 02:10

Margonite Executioners have knockdown (Magehunter's Smash).

You can pretty much have non-stop time in the temple with Air of Superiority, unless you get REALLY unlucky, killing ~20-30 things will almost guarantee a recharge.

He's talking about using this build for the ele sword run (read his previous post), assuming he's talking about the Raptor Nestlings outside Rata Sum, those are all assassins with melee interrupt attacks.

ragnagard · Jan 17, 2008, 05:59 PM // 17:59

If anyone want to use a E/M to farm the ele sword, just check
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10233592 (two or less links below this one) or similar thread and just dont OT on this one plz :P

By the way... i Just try some more things... but original build looks good enough to just use it....

I still wanna know why anet didnt nerfed the place and/or any skill on the build.... ^^ I think that part of wisdom title could be done there (i bring the 100 identification kit, rofl).

And if you are really (really really) bored ya could get "infinite" norn points til max level (160k) but... doing about 150 -250 points each run.... maybe it's too much. I am currently norn rank 3 (only hehe).

stretchs · Jan 17, 2008, 07:05 PM // 19:05

I have been doing this run for a couple months, a bit bored with it, but there is really never a time where you have to worry about getting damage/hexed as long as you are paying attention and your connection is operating properly. If I die, 99.99% of the time it is because I am too greedy and trying to cast 1 more time, OR I am just not paying attention. The reason Sliver Armor is good here is because if you kill them all at once as most people have seen you get less drops, with Sliver Armor, you are able to kill them in a more spread out time. Typically I will cast the 2 crystal spells, then Light of Deldrimor, then kick into Sliver, typically things start dying then, and continue to as time goes on. As long as you have your 20% enchant mod weapon and 1/2 a clue, this farm is quite easy and has some very nice drops. Platinum Broadswords, Mammoth Blades, Steel Broadswords drop on a semiregular basis

absolutcrobi · Jan 18, 2008, 12:44 AM // 00:44

I've been using a variation on that my last few runs. I have been hitting arcane echo, then the two crystal waves, then the echo'd one, then wait for the recharge and hit both waves again, so a total of five hits, then kick in the arcane echo and sliver armou. so you never kill more then 1 at a time. Been getting decent drops as well.
