Ghial Bone Dancer UNDER 10 secs [Mo/E]
Shadoow
Me and my friends have tried this build, it works exellent. Mo/E farming Ghial, Bone Dancer, in hope of getting his staff. This build is pretty much based of the 55hp Monk build except... you won't be fighting with 55 hp. You'll be fighting with 13hp. Why? Because with 55hp there's a risk you'll die coz' too many mobs hitting you at the same time.

Congratulations, you have successfully copied the E/Mo farming build posted in this exact same section detailing the exact same run and added Spellbreaker, how do you feel?

I need infos: what road does the guy on the video take? i don't get it...
EDIT: well using the common road i can get to ghial, but i tried the build with orosen first and it doesn't work: i just do too few damage to all them... i think it's because he's a rit
EDIT2: well i officially hate this build ^^ I get to ghial but then everyone is hitting me and i die with 55 or 33 hp... no time to search for a -20 hp

You can get a -20 icon in PreSearing from the quest Poor Tanent from Namar in PreSearing Ascalon City. The quest takes all of 30 seconds to do at the most.

this build is pretty common and the staff is pretty common now and hard to sell =(. been sitting on 1 for over a week now. best way imo is as a e/mo with 60%dp. just keep rezoning. max 2 min per run
SuperNomad
The -20hp is very easy to get, create a new role-playing character grab the quest get to level 3 and leave will take less than hour. The build is almost exactly the same as the Mo/E scar eater solo, but this ones easier, found 2 staffs in about 10-15 runs, but going to be hard to sell.
laurson
it's easy with 15%dp, 33hp....
Gavin The Great
It's not hard to sell, just doesnt sell for as much. I spammed for about 20 seconds before i had a buyer. Sold it for 26.5k. I got the staff on my second run, so not bad for like 10 minutes work.

not really, with 33 hp when you run and aggro everyone at ghial place you'll die soon

Crush
tried with the -20hp but nothing changed: when you get to ghial they interrupt you and you die...
some more infos about which enchantment putting on you before getting to him (and where) instead of a video would have been better

starlitesunset
this is just the same build as the 13hp scareater except swapped glymph of lesser energy for scrouge healing
SuperNomad
Glyph of concentration won't usually get interrupted, neither will prot spirit, when you get near to ghial always use glyph of concentration to cover your spells, cast spell breaker just before you aggro ghial's guards at the end of the bridge. Then you renew healing breeze, run to ghial activate sliver armour and he will die pretty easily, just spam healing breeze and prot spirit you'll have enough energy, he'll die grab his loot (hopefully his staff) and you will probably die to the exp earned from killing ghial will remove your dp and you'll be in about 30 hp too much for the regen to offset the damage.
matt the man
i have solo farmed ghial about 75 times with no drop..... i mean wat am i doing wrong
nothing ever drops for me that is good
is it something im doing
nothing ever drops for me that is good

Where do you get the -20 item from?
SuperNomad
The -20hp focus can be obtained from pre-searing ascalon by doing the 'Poor Tenant' quest (the -20hp is the quest reward) given by namar, takes about 5 minutes to do.
Former Ruling
also -20 hp is a mod on blue and purple offhand drops anywhere, I've had like 10 -20 HP offhands drop for me since I started playing.

some more infos about which enchantment putting on you before getting to him (and where) instead of a video would have been better With my e/mo I run....
1. glyph of concentration
2. sliver armor
3. Healing Hands {e}
4. Watchful spirit
5. Mending
6. Bath's spirit
7. Protective Spirit
8. Spirit Bond
I start off with 105HP, then I die to get 33HP (this is low enough to run past the mobs toward ghial while casting Protective Spirit along the way).
Casting sequence is important. What I usually do when the last aggro leaves me alone (before the bridge leading to Ghial), I wait for PS to wear off. I then recast it and then when I get close to the enemies I cast Spirit Bond. When Spirit Bond goes away, I know that I must recast Spirit Bond, and immediately recast Protective Spirit. If PS or spirit bond gets interrupted, I wait for Spirit Bond to recharge, and then cast it, and THEN Protective Spirit. Reason for casting Spirit Bond is because if there are 2 mesmers near you before ghials area, they will try and interrupt that spell. There are usually no more than 2 mesmers outside of Ghial to interrupt you, so you should be ok. My 23 second PS should last enough to cover for this. I have never died outside of Ghail's area when doing this spell casting sequence.
I then cast Healing Hands. Every time that I have casted this spell before entering Ghial's area, with the above spell casting sequence, I have NEVER been interrupted (reasons unknown, I am guessing that the mesmer's interrupt skill hasn't recharged yet). The reason for this elite spell is because more wand attacks will be hitting you when you enter ghial's area, and will not return health when taking damage by spirit bond.
I then cast glyph of concentration, run run run run run run run towards ghial, and then cast sliver armor. Healing hands will cover the damage. Feel free to spam spirit bond/protective spirit to your heart's content. You will have plenty of energy to do this. During my spamming, I might get interrupted. This is actually a good thing, you want them to interrupt you as many times as you can so you can get off a clean healing hands cast when the boss dies.
When Ghial dies, your DP % will decrease, leaving you with 62 health. Immediately switch to a -50 off hand, and then cast healing hands again. This will lower your HP back down to 12, lessening the damage taken, which will give you enough time to pick up ghial's staff, and then /resign.
I got my Ghial's staff on my 3rd run

hmm, in the first post, why do you need glyph of concentration if you are using spell breaker? Doesn't spell breaker protect you from the interrupt spells the mesmer casts?

Signet of Disruption ftw. Going in with 13hp and not wasting energy on SB is much easier though.

Well I have done this run amny time and always run into an issue in the end well actually sometimes. It almost seems like I get stripped when I get to ghial.......
I cast PS and HB to manage my health on the bridge just before agro of the last warriors there then run in and use glyph and then slyver armor. from that point on I have to keep glyph up otherwise any skill will get interrupted I cast(most of the time)
basiclly I make it about 1 out of 4 runs and have got the staff only once now(not complaining better result then any attempt before
) I do about 8 to 10 runs a day keeping above stats in mind 
Every now and then I get lucky and actually succeed in killing Oroson (name spelling ?)on the way there, I use that mob by the way to regen my energy to full after casting all my enchantments works pretty good.
By the way does anyone else have it that some of the warriors follow you all the way to ghial ?

Hi all,
I've made a video of this farm with a slightly modified build, and including the run. You can watch it there:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpIrXdT1Qzk
The run is a little bit dangerous if there is too much El wanding you and not triggering spiritual bond...but you can make it even with some dp. And Ghial is dropping dead so fast that this run is a real pleasure.
Thanks to the (unknown) one who came with this build idea first.
Cheers.
Heng.

Do I literally have to call everyone who posts this same build a noob?
Because i can tell you someone just a few days ago got flamed for posting this almost exact build and I have seen it at least 6 times on forums.....JESUS CHRIST
munk127
Well now that the event is over I can post my build for Ghial. Its alot safer than the other builds with spell breaker
Mo/E
Earth Magic 12
Healing Prayers 4+3+1
Divine Favor 6+3
Protection Prayers -The rest of your points
Healing Hands [ELITE]
Protective Spirit
Mending
Watchful Spirit
Blessed Aura
Balthazars Spirit
Glyph of Sacrafice
Sliver Armor
The run is pretty simple. You run standard 55 armor then you die once and use the -20 for 13 life. Recast enchantments and make the run to Ghial. Once at the bridge before Ghial stop and regain energy. A good way to make sure they don't interupt anything is to cast mending and have that interupted. When you have full energy from tanking the warriors you cast prot spirit and glyph of sacrafice. Target Ghial and hug the left side of the bridge so you dont get body blocked. Attack Ghial with your weapon and you should it should be the closest enemy. Use Sliver Armor and Healing Hands after it. Ghial should die within the 12 seconds and once he does recast your healing hands and pick up your drops. The advantage to this build is that you dont have to worry about dieing after you kill Ghial.
