I didn't actually make this build, I'm pretty sure I took it from someone else's thread... but I don't think theres anything actually describing what to do! Which, really, is a shame because this is probably the coolest farm I've ever done Once you get to Ghial, he'll die within 10 seconds.

Attribs:
9 Protection
9 healing
16 earth
rest energy storage

Skills:
Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze
Sliver armor
Aura of Restoration
Watchful Spirit
Mending
Essence Bond
Balthazars Spirit

Equipment: Standard 55 setup, with a -20 offhand VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Walk North into the Skyway from Senji's corner, and put on all your maintained buffs, making sure you have at least 10 energy left over. Walk north west and follow the ramp up to the top. Before you aggro the jade brother hood, turn on protective spirit. And, if you're not feeling confident, You can turn on breeze. I usually turn on breeze a little while after I've aggrod the first group. Just keep following to the east after you aggro, and go across to the bridge to the north.
Once you activate the rez shrine, suicide at the first group you see. Respawn, add your buffs, and swap out to the -20 offhand. From here you run north until you get up to Ghial. Before you aggro Ghial's group, put on healing breeze. Now, this is the part where it can get tricky. I sometimes stand around next to Ghial, and lure out the interrupts with mending a few times, until one of them gets off, and then turn on sliver armor. But then, sometimes, I like to just run in and turn it on immediately, your choice really. If I get more Dp, I just rezone back to Senji's.

I do this with my 55 Mo/E using silver armor as well. It is just as fast. Silver armor rocks bosses with groups. You can do it as a 55 instead of a 13 though. I bring Glyph of Concentration to keep form being interrupted. Sometime the Glyph gets interrupted but recharges so fast that it doesn't matter.

My build ^^

well guys i improved this build to make this run much faster

12 +1+3 earth
3+1 Air
3+3 Store
9 Heal
9 Prot

I used windspeed instead of essence bound and glyph of concentration instead of res aura.

first use a vamp sword or axe with the -50 cesta, then if ur hp is below 20, switch to totem axe with -20 cesta and instantly switch back. now u will die. now u must switch really quick from the vamp sword to totem axe with -20 cesta, or u will die. then use wind speed to get to ghial and always use glyph of concentration. i killed him in 3:20
and got my drop. after u killed him u can switch to -50hp cesta and run to market place exit and back. now u will still have sth like 18hp so u can retry it ^^. i even killed him with 60% death penalty ^^

OK, stupid question time folks, I've tried looking on guildwiki, but they're no help. Where do you get a -20 focus? Also, the search here has been disabled

you can either get the one from pre-searing from the guy next to devona at the farm or just find a drop with the -20 hp thing. even easier is to just buy one for 1k or less.

well the trick is to always use glyph of concentration, and to use prot spirit be4 it blinks so u can retry if it got interrupted.
got only 1 so far in sth like 15 runs.

With this build u can also kill oroson! just aggro the 2 groups and use SLIVER Armor ^^ even killed him with 55hp. but no staff yet

If i don't need to run then I sub Blessed signet for Windorne speed.

attributes
air 2
earth 10
healing 12
protection 13
divine 9

i only use windorne to get buy group just b4 ghial. Makes it a easier as 55. Sometimes they get you and sometimes they don't. As a 13 you should get him 90% of the time.
With this build I have solo'd:

Dark Wish You have to drag a group in to get enough to kill him.
Woe Spreader Must keep healing breeze up all the time cuz of his degen.
Scar Eater subsitute Glyph of renewal for Glyph of Concentration cuz his group does not interrupt and it will kill him faster.

This build should work with any boss with a decent size group. The power is sliver armor.

(Sound noobish but never really get into details AP)

I never even thought of that... I'm under the impression that sundering mods only work on your attacks.

Can this run be done with a Mo/W (or switch to Mo/E to stop interrupts) using SoJ?

Quote from Guild Wiki:

Consider the following situation: a level 20 elementalist with 15 air magic uses Lightning Strike against a warrior wearing Gladiator's Armor (and not wielding a shield). Lightning strike has 25% armor penetration and the warrior has 80 AL versus elemental damage, which results in an effective 60 AL (80 * (1 - 0.25)). Against an effective 80 AL, lightning strike would have dealt 35 damage, but armor penetration will increase the damage to 501. This is roughly a 43% increase.

There are two sources of armor penetration, base armor penetration and bonus armor penetration:

Base armor penetration is a set armor penetration value which is usually listed in game with text such as "this attack has 20% armor penetration." Base armor penetration does not stack, and only the largest value is used for any single attack. Sources include:
the Strength attribute, Penetrating Attack and Penetrating Blow
Hornbow-type bows, Penetrating Attack and Sundering Attack
Many Air Magic spells.

Bonus armor penetration is an additional armor penetration value which is usually listed in game with a preceding plus sign such as "+20% armor penetration." Bonus AP does stack with base AP and other sources of bonus AP. Sources include:
Sundering weapon upgrades
Judge's Insight.


So basically if you are using a spell that has Armor Penetration effect you better off with Totem, imo

hmm i can't get it to work, the run is going perfectly but when i reach Ghial and use Sliver Armor I always get killed :/ . I'm using the build from Stee Janz.

I dont know what's going wrong because it goes so fast,it's like they remove my enchantments or something... I do hurt ghial I just never live long enough to see him die....

Which type of armor would you recommend for this?

I'd pick some up from Shing Jea, it's cheap, and AC doesn't matter. What I use in the video is some random mixture of armors that I had sitting around Make sure you don't get anything with +health, though

Try stopping right before ghials group, then cast protective spirit, then healing breeze, then GoC. Run into Ghial, cast Sliver Armor(Should not be interrupted). Recast GoC, healing breeze, recast GoC, prot spirit, rinse and repeat.

If for some reason GoC is interrupted, it has a pretty short recharge, so try recasting it again instead of casting healing breeze or prot spirit. Works well when you always have GoC on before you cast your spells, hope this helps.

Btw, if your using a 55build and having a hard time, try doing the 13hp setup (die first, then -20 offhand). Makes it so much easier.
