PS + 6 regen will probably be enough for invincibility, but stoneflesh is extra insurance. Sliver armor doenst have to be up all the time, just as much as possible. I did notice my prot monk keep casting Shield of Absorbtion on me a lot, so I guess they also spamcast it onthemselves if they are the only target around.
Would be interesting to test this..

i'll test it when my derv hits r8.

any idea on the extra skill slots? and also it will only be good for 2 ele's per person since there are only 2 ele heroes. i was thinking maybe the 3rd hero could be the usual necro to keep your energy degen up from the multiple spears.

In case it isn't already listed or if someone else has this problem:

I'd afk for lightbringer points for many hours (usually over 7-8) and then come back to my computer. I still see numbers flying above my head (I bonded some characters) but when I press any key or even barely touch the mouse my computer locked up and nothing would release it. I would have to reboot after each session. A quick reboot was a small price to pay but still annoying.

This latest time I decided to press ALT+F4 right away before anything else and the game managed to close in time before it locked up. But my computer was still lagging so when I checked the Processes in the task manager Guild Wars was still there. I ended the process and my computer was back to normal. That is how I stop the freeze now without requiring a reboot. Maybe this will help someone else if they have a similar problem.

Yes... My dervish is sitting at 56k points.

Guildmaster Cain · Nov 30, 2006, 05:19 PM // 17:19

So thats why it didnt work... on page 13 the guide says SCYTHES OF CHAOS, but if you try to farm those with the R/N, they split up. In the screenshots I only see SPEARS OF TORMENT.

And regarding the 2 eles in the Sliver-build; you can set up a thirds Mo/E with same skills, thus having 3 groups and maybe a friend having 3 more groups. Still the build is untested ofc.

Kaane · Nov 30, 2006, 05:22 PM // 17:22

I've been too lazy to even bother setting up more than one group. I'm at LB5 now, I'll set it while I am at work today, but I figure I'll just gain more ranks in the Domain of Anguish. There's no way any group will consider LB5 or LB6 to be "too low."

Never underestimate rank elitism in this game. It's getting to the point in HA where R3 is no longer enough.

Having said that, I think there will be more than enough of us LB R5-R6's that we can form our own groups. I doubt we'll be much less effective than all R8's.

Yes and no.....if you keep the farm going, you will still get points until you leave the zone. BUT as soon as you leave, you can no longer get the LB bounties(at least I havnt been able to for the past 3 times i've showed someone how to do it).

Heh, maybe so, but the thing is there will be so few people that are rank 5+ it'll be nearly impossible for those elitists to form groups.

As for the R3 in HA--that's what I only do alliance battles, I never did much PvP when I originally got GW and by the time I was interested in HA I couldn't get a group regardless of my build.

Yes and No. After you get rank 8, you will still get points in the area, but when you cant take anymore blessings.

I farmed SCYTHES OF CHAOS. They are just harder. You are just in need of more practice to farm them it sounds like

Dementiak · Nov 30, 2006, 06:39 PM // 18:39

not involved = no xp?

heheheh my character is involved.... shes using a back-up Life barrier on the tanking hero.....

-------------------------------------------------------------

Domain of Anguish will open soon, I guess that means its a non-afk weekend... bohoo i'm still only lightbringer rank 5, they better not nerf it along with the opening of "the new FOW". ouch!

I am having trouble setting up two group with heros. I can set up two groups, one with henchie (eventually get wiped due to overflow) and one with N/R and Monk.

I want to set up two group with heroes, i have two N/R hero and Monk. I am trying to set up the two N/R so they can share a monk. I saw a few screen shots of people doing this. What confused me is it seem that their heroes positions are too close to the monk that i'm sure the spear will change target to the monk. Some how they arent? am i missing something. Hope i get some tips on how to setup two groups with heroes. Thanks.

Cyan The Archer · Nov 30, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

sumasage: I think your problem is, that you're not bodyblocking the enemy with your tank(N/R R/N)

There are a couple of options here. To use N/R or R/N (i used r/n for higher armor) with apply poison and scythes body blocking is incredibly important, and not the easiest to pull off. You'll need to catch one on the corner of the rez shrine and the other against the wall so they can't run past your 2nd hero.

I prefer the N/Mo build using rotting flesh and well of silence (with N having wands on) this way the spears attack your necros using ranged weapons (spears ofc) so they never get within range of your monk. Heh it doesn't work very well trying to draw it, but essentially you never have to worry about your monk catching aggro or a bad spawn or something as he's a way away.

Plus I've only gotten higher LB points using N/mo as opposed to R/N. And you can set up the henchies as well.

here's the linky: http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...dend/gw015.jpg

at r5 right now. should be up to r6 in a few hours and hopefully r8 by 2m.

What kind of weapons are u using ? low-dmg spears ? ( stats ? )

I saw a Warrior the other day in Gates o Madnness who was an LB 7 dont recall the title, tho, name was Rick James Beeper or something like that....and he was having trouble getting in a group LOL.

of course, to defeat shiro a warrior is kinda... unwanted, no matter what his LB rank is (LB gaze doesnt work on shiro)
