Ritualist Solo Farming - Stonereaper, Stonewrath, Stoneweaver
drac vampiro
Ok, so its come to my attention, there isnt many solo builds that i know of, and so i was making one up, i figured it out pretty easily, but stonewrath solo? most people i see die within 3 seconds against it! well, the trick is timing, and disenchantment, here is, the build to start off with.
Boon of Creation
Ritual Lord
Bloodsong
Pain
Displacement
Disenchantment
Shadowsong
Painful Bond
I wear Full shamans, Insightul Communing Staff Of Fortitude with the following runes:
Major Vigor (im a cheapskate)
Superior Communing
Minor Channeling
Major Spawning
and the attribute points should go as following:
Communing: 15
Channeling: 7
Spawning: 14
Good, now we have that over and out with, we want to fight!
Start off by going to altrumn ruins and leaving through the north west exit.
Take a left there, and you should see the first group as shown below (((I just realised in the skill bar, my skills are different, it was the phase of trial and error with the skills against stonewrath, and i guess i deleted the wrong image - do forgive me, its 6am here, and ive been typing this out since 5am ^^ for a future note though, this build works up to stonereaper also perfectly, dissonance stops the curses from stonereaper put on you, but he attacks the spirits anway, back to the build))):
You want to start setting up the spirits, so they dont aggro the eneries, i find the area where it starts to get dark is best, then when all spirits are set up, in the order which i gave, cast painful bond on a bunch of them when they are huddled, the extra damage is well worth it!, keep casting up the spirits, especially displacement and shadowsong, these keep you alive for the most part here, blinding and taking damage.
Now the first group is over, move over to stonereaper, again, do the same, mind the aggro though, as he casts lingering curse which gets rid of your boon of creation, best cast painful bond and run behind the spirits, keep recasting again, and cast painful bond on him again when needed.
After this, do the same again, and move onto stonewrath, now, the thing with stonewrath is, HE WILL PWN YOU. make sure you are well out of his way, and when you cast painful bond, RUN LIKE HELL behind your spirits, he will then attack your spirits, but disenchantment gets rid of his auras, and he loses energy too quickly to spam stone daggers, keep spamming your spirits, keeping in mind, this time disenchantment is your key here.
Thats the hardest task of the whole journey, it may take alot of practice, it took me a week to get the hang of it to own him every time, painful bond NEEDS to be kept on him, or he will simply just not die quick enough compared to him killing your spirits.
moving along, we come to stonewrath, he lasts longer then stonereaper, but is just as easy, set up the spirits at the top of the stairs, there is no point in using painful bond here as he removes it, none the less if all your spirits are up, cast it anyway, those few 14's do all the help in the end.
pick up your collection, and on your way.
As you see, my run wasnt the best with no greens, maybe i triggered the farming code, as i have been doin it a while, and collected 17 from stonereaper, 3 from stonewrath, and 5 from stoneweaver.
Happy Farming!
Any comments or questions appreciated.
Thinking of a corny name for the build,
Maybe: The Stoned Spiritualist
as, he is farming stuff which all begins with stone.
o yeah, this build rocks the kazbar at random arenas if the other team run into it, switch a spirit for a rez sig though! you naughty non-rezzers you.

You're a genious.
This build is so easy to play and I don't even have too much experience with Rt.
Killed all 3 bosses on my first run and got a Stonewaver.
The only difference is, that I used 13 spawning power, because i didn't want to put a major rune on and used the insightful spiritbinder from preorder, worked flawlessly.
Thank you for sharing this build.

you can farm even the Brightclaw from Chkkr Brightclaw in Melandru's Hope just remember to kill for first the patrol of 3 mobs that run along the way and after them you can kill the boss...

3rd lucks the charm for me on getting the brightclaw ^^
For everyone, use dissonance over disenchantment for farming brightclaw, disenchantment doesnt get rid of his spells, dissonance blocks them.
you dont have to fight any mobs, stick to the right, and dont pause the walking there, and you can outrun the ranger bosses mob, the mob of kirin run the other way giving you time to hide to the side of the wall, so when they come back, they cant actually hurt you because theres a block. spam out on brightclaw, quickly get the items before the big cluster pop down off the walls.
credit to ark claw for this one. easy money made ^^ and can run straight to boss with no other fights.

this is a killer build and works well. It was easy to learn and Great straight ritualist build. Many Thanks for sharing your build
drac vampiro
no worries dude ;D if i've learnt anything though, stonewrath is harsh with dropping his green, so if you dont want to spend timeless minutes getting him in to your spirits, and risk of dieing, for a few stone carvings XP, i say nuke up a few spirits so he attacks them and just run to the stoneweaver.

I can't find a place to build the spirits that doesn't get hit by the Kirin mob or trigger the popups around the lake.

Awesome build tried it out and already got 2 green drops. very nice and very easy to learn.
drac vampiro
sorry i've been away ^^
i run in a little to the pool, and keep to the right hand side, use a longbow to pull brightclaw in, if hes too far away, wait him out until hes closer, hide behind the wall as far right so the mob doesnt attack you,
and it hasnt taken me more then 2 minutes to take down bright claw, but every person has their own ritualist ways ^^

I just came across this thread, and decided to try it out. Just thought I'd let you know that it still works fine, even after the changes from the skill update a few days ago.

At first I thought it wouldn't do enough dmg, but now even with the buff for the attack spirit(s) it should do greatly.
However, I'm not really sure how you get past the Wardens at the start.
Do you just set ur spirits, and run like crap when they are attacking it?
Also, some other bosses that might be getting killed by it would be:
Mohby Windbeak
and perhaps Whyk Steelshell. Although the last one might imolate u if you dont watch it.
They can also be done with the Vengeful build but then you have to get rid of his Fish and Carp first.
Mohby doesn't have any group. He wanders alone between patrols. If you can get him up the nearby hill and place ur spirits there then it would be awsome.
He only seems to wand and Clumsiness, but hexes wouldn't work on spirits. His attacks do about 100!!! dmg though, but Shadowsong should take care of that.
Both bosses are in Gyala's Hatchery btw.
Probably Jacqui The Reaver and Reefclaw can also be solo'd with it.
I have to try it out tomorrow. :}

I just did Xuekao The Deceptive with this build, too.
Edit: Chkkr Locust Lord runs take about a minute or two.

I think really a lot of bosses and area's can be farmed with this as well. It could just takes a long time though. Basicly when things go wrong you can just back off and place spirits a bit behind the others. The only problem probably is the healers, like dredges and dolyak masters which can be kind of hard. But if you can target them first they probably will die fast as well.
