drops are good...

build: OgFVgyEzGZWDS6Tb4rivQpYHsbQrCA

link

if U are 2 the drops are way better..!

link

(update)
9 air 16 earth 6 energy 9 axe 1 tactics

skill 1-2-3 glyph of swifness-obsidian flesh-stoneflesh aura
keep up glyph of swifness + obsidian flesh and stoneflesh aura

skill 4-5-6 bonetti´s defense - clyclone axe - whirlwind attack
clyclone axe + bonetti´s defense = full energy bar
the way to use it : clyclone axe + whirlwind attack + bonetti´s defense..

skill 7-8 conjure lighting - storm haste

no conjure lighting: link
add in conjure lighting:link

time to hunt...
1 run U way to the portal (storm haste)
2 take the norn blessing
3 stack the first 30-35 Spectral Vaettir map stack 1
4 take on the next stack. 25-30 Spectral Vaettir

tip: the will try to bodyblock U so keep em on U back
U can use storm haste to speed up U stacking
(clyclone axe + bonetti´s defense = full energy bar if U run low on the way)

now i need pie...pie

btw if U bring a smitter monk U got a dmg up to 50+
monk build: OwcT44H/nZeIPCJ0E9RKxlNBBA
ele axe build: OgFUgyEzGZSSfaDfV0C8VKF7gdDA

and a way to take all to near-dead and kill em 1 by 1 to get better drops.

It would help if you posted attributes and your strategy.

Dualin kind of sux, why not solo? and how long does a run take you guys?

Woah...that's quite a lot of drops.

tox_169 · Nov 22, 2007, 02:24 AM // 02:24

Yes please, a brief description of how to do it would help. (the solo build is an ele, yes? am at work now so I couldn't check the template)

My friend and I are considering giving 100 glacial stones as a present for a mutual friend. This would be a welcome change (and more profitable, I see) from going touch rangers again. I've got my glacial gloves already but my friend hasn't yet, as well as getting those stones for that surprise gift we planned for our mutual friend

How do you break aggro when running there in HM without Dash?

You can outrun something just from the sheer distance traveled

why conjure lightning when vaettirs have 160armor vs. elemental dmg ?

Good question. Maybe because the OP used several Air Magic spells and figured the Conjure can add more damage?

But despite the vaettirs' armor, he's been successful well enough, looking at his screenshots.

Some people, including me, prefer dualing over solo, imo it's much more fun. It takes 6-7 minutes per run if you solo

malko050987 · Nov 22, 2007, 12:23 PM // 12:23

Well, since I don't have a monk/ele/anything there except my Ranger, would something like this work ?

Hero Bonder (Life Barrier - Life bond - Mending - Holy veil with 16 Prot and enough Healing to get mending to +3).
Me as a Ranger. Either toucher with Melandru's resilience or R/E with Obby flesh and Sliver armor ?

Or of course, a human bonder.

It would be more profitable than NM solo toucher, since there are 60 there in HM, and even if the hero "steals" 50% of the drops, that's still 30 Vaettirs that drop only for me

Zodiak · Nov 22, 2007, 01:23 PM // 13:23

Aslong as you have energy management and do not kill them all at the same time (because of massive loot scaling) you should be fine with a bonder if you can keep Obsidian Flesh up all the time.

malko050987 · Nov 22, 2007, 02:47 PM // 14:47

So R/E with Obsidian Flesh and Sliver Armor (and anything else I can think of, but no AoE, right ? Isn't Sliver AoE?) And Life Barried, Life Bond and Balthazar's Spirit on the bonder so I can keep my energy up.

I'll experiment with making Tahlk (my experiment hero) a Mo/R and putting her with 16 Prot and 12 WS and give her QZ. Combined with SQ I shouldn't have problems with Obsidian Flesh downtime.

Very original build

Has it, by any chance, been tested on HM windriders outside Rata Sum yet? Could work well there, I guess.

malko050987 · Nov 23, 2007, 11:55 AM // 11:55

I can't get it to work right, unfortunately. And it's just too long a run to keep trying.

[skill]Glyph of Swiftness[/skill] isn't enough to keep [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill] up all the time. I tried [skill]Serpent's Quickness[/skill]+[skill]Glyph of Elemental Power[/skill] and had better results, but there still is a time when [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill] will be down, exposing you to hexes. Putting [skill]Quickening Zephyr[/skill] on the bonder at 12WS works pretty well, but I suck at micro-ing and there still is a downtime between castings of [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill] after QZ goes down.

As a toucher, you don't rake much damage, but you don't do much either. and since they're always in huge mobs, they'll just go away and Ether Feast themselves to full health before engaging you again.
