hey guys, i've been thinking very hard to try to farm dwayna, ive tried many builds, but so far i've been only successful farming her w/ 2 other heroes... i was hoping if any1 could get me some hints about a solo farming build, dont need details (tho it wont hurt), just some ideas. thx

Ritualist Spirit Spammer. Grab heroes & henchies, fight until she's alone, flee and flag heroes far away, put the spirits up, hex her with Painful Bond and lure towards spirits... Should drop in seconds!

Well you can solo dwaynas with W/Mo, although u need the henchies/heroes to clear the way then send them back.

The build goes like this:

[card]Distracting Blow[/card][card]Gash[/card][card]Auspicious Parry[/card][card]Riposte[/card][card]Deadly Riposte[/card][card]scourge healing[/card][card]healing signet[/card]

Basicly while the acolyte is in avatar form you use Auspicious Parry+ Riposte to protect yourself, with the ocasionaly deadly riposte. Use healing signet as required and remember that you can use the stances while casting the healing sig.

When the avatar is down immediatly use scourge healing, and gash. Keep riposting.
When the scourge healing ends, you will have something like 5-10 seconds before the acolyte activates the avatar again. Cast healing scourge again.

Then be ready to distracting blow the avatar cast. Keep spamming ripostes+gash. You might still need to distract the avatar cast once more.

Then the acolyte is dead.

Very boring run, if u miscalculate the interrupt (the boss dont uses 2 seconds, more like 1), the fight will take time.

A succesfull run is done in 10 minutes. If you fail it can take 15 or more.

I got 3 dwaynas graces in something like 20 runs.

Domination Magic 12+3+1
Inspiration 10+2 (I think that's the break for +3e, not sure with the new update)
Wind Prayers 8

Mantra of Inscriptions
Signet of Midnight {e}
Mind Wrack
Spirit Shackles
Spirit of Failure
Natural Healing
Empathy
Signet of Humility

Just blind her and disable the Avatar with SoH, use Spirit Shackles to drain all her energy so she can't heal, and kill her with Empathy/Mind Wrack. Use Natural Healing to get any damage that goes through.

the mesmer or necro build is the fastest but the trickiest, there is a 55 version that can do it but it takes longer to kill but it is a easy kill

I was wondering... HM or NM for dwayna? or any green farming

ACreator · May 08, 2007, 05:14 PM // 17:14

I think it can be done as a sin too. When i can im gonna test it

but something with disrupting stab, heal, critical defences, and scourge healing shall do the trick, or spirit shacles..

Marverick · May 09, 2007, 01:50 AM // 01:50

Critical Defenses, Way of Perfection, and Moebius -> DB *might* do it, although doubtful in Hard Mode.

[skill]Wanderlust[/skill][skill]pain[/skill][skill]Anguish[/skill][skill]Shadowsong[/skill][skill]Earthbind[/skill][skill]painful bond[/skill][skill]bloodsong[/skill]
clean the litte mobs what around AoD with your heroes and henc, build sprits as scatter as possible,hex her and kill him....her form will dispel your hex,but we have wanderlust knockdown her....
wait and she will down

Take out earthbind and put in Dissonance. Earthbind does basically nothing (bosses are knocked down 1/2 of the usual time)
The skill missing is [skill]Signet of Humility[/skill], with attribute 6.
Clear the mob, wait for the acolyte to turn back into human form, lay spirits, Humility, painful bond. There's a 1/20 chance aprox. that she'll still be able to use the elite after humility wears off, even under wanderlust+dissonance, but then you just run back and do it again.
I used this a lot while the scythe was an easy sell at 45k. I must have sold at least 10 of them.

I dont see any advantage in HM for green farming.
Only the gold items drop rate was increased, not the greens.

Possibility of an elite rit tome dropping is a good enough reason.

boybe · May 10, 2007, 01:38 PM // 13:38

someone told me there are BUG point can dodge AoD's all attack
maybe someone here knows that?

Dervish tome -_-

Oh btw It can't be done with my build in HM. I'm not sure it can be done solo at all, because apparently hard mode bosses also have 1/2 cast time on all skills. She activates her form in about 1/2 second, and the casts touch in 1/4.
Tried it 5 times just now, and failed in every single one.
Btw once she goes into form, she will do nothing but heal until she's at 100% life.
