When I had only Prophecies I used Shielding Hands/Guardian.

Pretty much all of the areas farmable with SV are farmable with SS. you'll need to group melees next to monks though, and things like that, but it should be possible. as for a spirit bond replacement, Shielding Hands is optimal for proph only chars. good luck, and have fun farming!

i'm not sure that's possible, because you'd have nothing in the way of energy gain skills.... all i can think of is a tainted Flesh build that degens monsters to death, and takes it easy on the energy. you might even be forced to use something like blessed signet.

You can farm the Djinn outside of EotN in HM, there are only about 9 or 10 of them though (that i've found).
I got a nice Platinum Broadsword(req9) from them.

Ok thanks. Also if I were to find or buy an elite necro tome would that allow me to unlock skills from other campaigns not just Prophecies?

P.S. How would watchful spirit work you think? It gives +2 regen, costs 15 enery.

^qft.

as far as watchful spirit is concerned, imo it's not too useful unless you're in areas with a lot of degen or with small groups, so Mending + Watchful stacked eliminate the need for healing breeze.

Ok so 2 things.

I bought GW:EN recently and I found that you can cap Spirit Bond from the Facet of Existence in the Riven Earth are of the Tarnished Coast. So if any of you are trying this build and want that skill but don't have factions, if you have GW:EN you can still get it. I havnt checked all the bosses yet but I don't think that SV is available anywhere from any bosses.

Oh and Reckless Haste is available as well from Bredyss Longstride in Magus Stones, also in the Tarnished Coast in case you want that one as well for tis build.

Secondly: I heard that SB was nerfed in the Oct. 25th update. Does anyone know if this is true and if so how was it changed?

Spirit bond was nerfed, yes. it used to have an unlimited amount of hits instead of the 10, which allowed you to take on infinite amounts of enemies at once, which was obscenely overpowered. however, it still works perfectly for a secondary heal as a 55, and, if Healing Breeze is unavailable, you can live off of it alone.

nice call on the EotN stuff! that should help some people quite a bit.

i'm 99.9% sure that if you own EotN and cap it in EotN, you can use it.

Yes yes you guys are correct. I wasnt quite sure of it when I posted so I tested it out yesterday on Lyssa's Aura and no you cannot cap the skill if its in a campaign you dont have.

Oh well, it was a good idea at least.

P.S. I'm not sure that GuildWiki info is entirly correct. It wouldn't even let me cap the skill let alone use it.

I've tried doing this farm, and it's been unsuccessful, but i've just realised from closer observation of the second screenshot that the lightbringer title is active. If i don't have a lightbringer rank, will this affect the farm in the city? If not, then i'll keep trying.
Thanks in advance.

later in NF? you can farm exuro and friends in HM with the Fow solo build, and you can kill some shadow people in the realm of torment, can't remember where they are offhand.
