K, my ign is curse chainbreaker, n i found a way to make tons of money, in "running" a certain mission; imperial sanctum.

I mean, u can kill shiro real easy with an ss/rit build, where u let ur party members keep shiro buzy, n then do shadowsong, reckless haste, price of failure, n then spitefull spirit. this way shiri takes load os dmg cuz he attacks 25% faster, n get 50+ dmg every time he attack/misses.

offcourse shadowsong will die, n u might be the target of shiro. for that u use wailing weapon, since it has 50% chance to block. just run away n start hexing him again. your party members will do dmg too, n u will kill him in no time. a echo nuker works fine here 2, as a backup.

I started askign money for making sure they succeed this mission for the first time tonight. I made 10k in 10 minutes, and half of the party didnt pay up.

If ur good at ss-ing shiro, ur bound to get masters reward if u have non noobs in ur party, else u get medium reward, or if ur a noob whos bad at it, u get low reward or u fail.

The reason i shared my idea with all u guys is becuz i dont wanna be like the inventor of the 55hp monk, cuz some guys r bound to notice me ss shiro, n steal my idea. then i would rather just be the 1 who is known for sharing this idea, then to be some1 who claims to have invented it.

PS: some1 is bound to do this 2, but hast made it public yet.

Hope u guys make tons of money 2.

People actually pay money for getting Masters reward for beating Shiro? He goes down under a minute usually even without any special tricks, and faster if you just have a few wammos wailing at him and using Storm of Swords.

What happens during Meditation of the Reaper, genius?

This isn't running. This is nowhere near soloing. This is just using an effective skillset. This is borderline scamming.

Eh, nice attitude you got there. But he tends to go down anycase pretty fast if you just have enough people around him to make Storm of Swords work even more effectively.

Right, but if he's claiming that he can "run" the mission, he must be able to effectively end Meditation of the Reaper. What he's doing now is basically stating that he's more important than he actually is, which is misleading the foolish minded, which is dictionary-definition scamming.

Oh, I was thinking you were aiming the "genius" comment at me. I have no quarrel about questioning the OP's claim.

i dont see the running part in your post, what u charge people for? to run them from kunnavang to shiro?

they keep him busy, w/mo use storm of sword to intrupt meditation, everyone doing dmg and u doing dmg too, its just a normal team with a necro in it who is doing his job as a member of team...

to the OP, nice to see someone is willing to go out on a limb and offer advice instead of whine like the rest do.

SSing shiro is nothing new tho, SS + MM are the two most used nec builds in most PvE areas..but like i said nice to see a none whinging thread

Maybe he drains all of shiro's energy so he cant perform meditation of the reaper

Uh, I beat him in like 20 seconds the first time... this is basically a scam considering the lack of difficulty in this mission.

It's like saying you're making tons of money running people from Ascalon to the Great Northern Wall. It's easy.

These are the worst scams I've ever heard.

Hey for all of the "scamming" comments the fella *did* post what he does to beat Shiro on one of the biggest GW community sites out there and he did it without having exploited the whole "running" gig too much. At least he deserves some credit for that.

That having been said, yeah Shiro is easy to take down, so charging $ for the service is a bit like charging $ for... idk... a car wash or maybe mowing lawns. But it's done, and people are too busy/lazy to do it themselves so they'll pay up often enough. Plus it's just play money. ~_^

its not running, but providing a service for a fee.

And its not scamming.

I remember a few months after the OG chapter was out there were monks charging to complete missions. Same deal here.

And once Runners were thought of as scammers, now its an accepted profession

Well it really doesn't make sense to charge a fee...since its not like you single handedly took out shiro. Now running to droks is a solo and makes sense.

It is not scamming if people pay up. He did not forced other to pay. He even said that some did NOT pay him. Consider it a tip or whatnot.

yeah, lol. go easy on him. it's not scamming but it's not particularly ground-breaking.

on n/me i had 10 domination too i think and ran ss/incidious parasite/empathy on him. that's a lot of numbers. oh, i also brought arcane echo but ended up not using it because i was spamming the other 3 buttons as much as i could.

good stuff but for christ's sake, chill out on the op. he's not hurting anyone.

"More" money than droks runs? I should certainly hope so. Droks runs are pathetically low paying. There's a reason why the best and richest runners leave the droks crap to newbs and second rate runners.

Oh, and as for you "discovering" to SS/RH Shiro, LOL. That's hardly news.

He was charging for it, he got scammed in return by not being paid, common sense tells you this.

You're playing the role of the SS necro, why the hell would you charge for that? I'd say you're pretty damn greedy.

On a slightly related note, I tried to solo Shiro once. I got him down to half health before my energy crapped out... Think I could do better with a Mes primary though.

Thought i should set the record straight, since people like zinger are accusing me of scamming people. First of all, i never claimed to have invented ss on shiro, indd most necros do it. I "invented" selling myself for 1k as an assurance for people who have trouble killing him. and i said:"PS: some1 is bound to do this 2, but hast made it public yet." so no more crap about that i said i was the 1 to invent it all.

K, zinger, u said i'm scamming people.

I don't scam people, I just let them join my team for a low price of 1k after succes. Some people refuse to pay n i dont complain, but other people wanna kiss me after killing shiro, since they havent succeded in it before. I've been given golden items worth 5k, just because they poor guy had tried 23 times already. My point is: They decide to join my party, they have plenty of other party's then can join, and when i kill shiro, They decide to pay me or not. Most are so kind to do so, but u got those complainers who refuse. I dont report em to guild wars support, its time wasting.

So i dont know wot kind of pathetic nerd u r to go insulting people who just share ideas how to make money fast, if ur really in a pissed mood becuz your mother hates u, dont blame it on me, go cry alone in some aley or something.

Owh n meditation of the reaper can be countered with divine intervention, just make an ss/heal char, and see for urself.

So if some idiots here think shiro is a tough opponent, then u must be a big noobie, cuz the xped members know damn well hes easy with the rite skills/build: like for instance storm of swords.

Its easy to kill shiro really, done it 3 times on my rit and none of them fail. got master on second tried where every one just gangbang him instead of normal playing. Charging for help with mission is ok, only if your build is neccessary and the mission is hard which isnt for this mission, you dont need SS to kill it, its just faster and the mission is not hard, compare to any other Faction mission, its one of the easiest mission. Bringing a ritualist help too.

Running for the easiest mission in GUILD WARS period. Nice hustle and bustle you've created over one of the least challenging missions ever implemented. And yeah, I do agree with an earlier post, this is borderline SCAM.

You equate yourself (implied or not) to the creator of the 105/55 monks? HAH. This poorly thoguht out "guide" to make money is a con and that's it. Congratulations on "inventing" one of the oldest ways to rip the honest off from their money.

You can beat this mission easily with henchmen. Instead of encouraging people to try it with henchmen or how to make a proper group, you're telling them they can't do it by themselves and they need YOU to do it for them.
