I still see people in the zin corridor forming 4-man kaolin farming groups though, so either they are behind the times or there is still a market. I think its the former.

After argueing with 1 such person who was forming a team he was saying that the reason they do is because 'They don't have an assassin or elementalist' (or some just aren't in the know). The arguement been, i didn't see any reason to even bother farming them in a group. The waves of E/A//A/E leaving the Zin Ku exit alone getting ALL green drops to themselves and returning to sell them even before they'd formed a group. The effort in group farming them had absolutely no return, would be better finding a boss you could solo.
While farming Kunvie i've seen the odd person appear selling Dom staffs for 15k, Accursed for 10k. I honestly can't see how theres a market for them anymore. There is just too many of them now.

This build hates me...
okay I start by testing it on the scar eater. Works perfect. Tried it again failed miserably. Tried Strongroot failed miserable. Tried the constructs failed ultra miserably.
Silver armor never got strongroots health below 25% with all the monsters i could aggro. When i tried the constucts i was just about to kill ritualist when monk healed him to full in two seconds and it used vengeful weapon for another 100+health. The only way to kill any of the constructs is to get 2-3 groups together. Its never enough damage and im sitting their like a lone duck.
Before you say anything i was using ob flame and tenais crystals for extra damage.

just rude
ALL of the bosses in the Eternal Grove are doable. I love this build when it works, and I am incredibly infurated when anyone other than the boss is targeted.
I use the Dash, Gail, Aftershock build for all bosses except 1.
So here it goes.
Scar Eater, agro, kill
Time Eater, Aggro Kill
Flower w/e Rit Staff, Kill the time eater as all stone skins and undergrowth do melee dmg*!*!*!*!*! important
Janye Foeslight. Take the immediate right and run past the first group of stone skin undergrowth stuff. TARGET JAYNE. Pull the second 2 groups of stuff with you, run as close to Jayne group as you can, and cast SF because she always has a Mes with CoF with her, cast stuff she's dead.
Bramble Everthorn. 2 Ways
1. Run around right and forget Jayne Foreslight and DE, and Dash thru
them
2. Kill Jayne first and the DE, and Dash past the wardens onto the bridge,
Either way, you must TRY to aggro both groups of wardens that intersect near the res shrine outside of the eteranl grove misson, w/o some backup everthorns group does not do enough damage to kill him.
The water staff guy is surrounded by stone skins and undergrowth, full on melee dmg, I tried once and Sliver didn't target him but he is easilt doable.
Mossbeard just pull the Wardens to him, and dont aggro the Mantis.
UGLY STICK, can be done uber hard for me, never got killed him maybe twice.
you have to get the shrine right next to Timberr and agro as much as you can. I normally drop Shock for Glyph of Concentration so the MANY wardens of the spirit that around dont cry my SF.
Ty for making everyone jealous of assassins even if its only 1 weekend.

Just a note to the above poster, everthorn is easy with just his group alone if you bring shadow of haste. Get him down to 1/5 on the first go, escape and you can go in again before he has healed up and easily finish him off.

Ok, Ive got good news for all of those that cant farm sunreach and all other hard bosses. Soon ( about tommorow or after tommorow) Ill post a video with the instruction on how to farm these bosses+picture descriptions cause videos are in low quality.
hope it will help. For any questions Pm - Jaina Wintervale or Monk Klausner in Game.

Can you farm the Ice Breaker with this build or something like it?
Tried but failed hope you can help.

Don't the Barbed Grawl carry Chilblains? There are probably more effective assassin builds capable of farming the Ice Breaker without using Sliver/Shadow anyway.

yeah they have chiblains but won't use it unless you get to close...just pull the hammer guys and you'll be fine. btw a plain 55 does the job just fine if your trying to get an icebreaker.

Why does it need to be high quality? What fine points of detail do you need to show how to run into a boss and cast a few spells? If your can't see them been activated or where he's running you need your eyes testing.

Lol, if you think thats flaming i believe your dumber than i thought.
Personally i'd rather not have to download a stupidly large file just because someone took heed of your 'make it high quality' when it doesn't even need to be. I'm sure many people would rather download whats needed to be viewable.
If you can find an overwhelming majority of 'bitter' posts in this thread by me then perhaps you have a point, if you do then its probably down to answering the same stupid question over and over again. The answer been 'no we do not know, its random!'.

You hit the nail on the whole quality thing Why make a huge ass file on filefont when youtube serves the purpose. I think your problem Desires is that you've created a massively effective build which also requries a decent amount of skill to pull off. I personally am very grateful as although my first attempts were laughable I eventually got the hang of it and was able to get many greens I had though impossibel to solo. As a green collector this saved me a fortune.
The trouble is there seems to be alot of lazy button-thumpers out there who haven't the patience to learn the build even when it's been offered to them on a plate. Sucks to be them I guess.

I wouldn't say it needs that much skill. 90% of it is just common sense (which people who repeatedly ask how to make Sliver target obviously don't have). I mean, you can't do enough damage to a boss... bring more damage skills/agro more. Sliver keeps targetting somet else, bad luck it aint gonna die this run. Your getting hit by lots of skills/signets, glyph of concentration or dark escape. Your getting hit by enchantment removal, you aint gonna be able to farm em. Your getting killed, bring shadow refuge.
The only 1 thats slightly tricky to do is counter the burning from Burning Speed that can very easily kill you if Shadow Form runs out. That way been make sure Shadow Refuge is available to cast when SF runs out so you don't die from degen in 2-3 seconds.
The only part that requires skill is knowing how to use skills like Shadow of Haste and Deaths Charge effectively or knowing how to lure additional groups.
Has anyone else noticed that Shadow Form seems to be VERY inaccurate when it comes to leaving you with x health? Think the lowest its done so far was about 25 when it was suppose to do 41.

sry your getting spammed desires =(. same thing used to happen to me so i had to remove my ign from my profile. i hate to say it but there are a TON of people out there who are as inconsiderate as can be. i don't think there needs to be any other walkthrough then what is already here. if you guys are having problems then go practice it on the bosses in Noob island. btw i don't use shadow of haste...i attack with my -50 cesta going and as soon as SF ends i switch to my +30 off hand to get myself to 120hp =).

This is amazing build, desire you are genious!
My friend told me about this build, but only did i see your post.
I cant wait till my level 12 sin gets to level 20 and farther in game so i can try this.

One question:
If you dont beat the boss in 17 sec.(shadow formm) arnt you pretty much screwed since you will have all but 41 health?

[DE]
No... your 20% enchant mod will make it last longer than 17 and whenever you kill a boss all your skills are recharged (allowing you to recast shadow form instantly after the kill). Than you are safe to pick up your drop(s) and maybe kill a few common enemies.
BerryRacer
Also as said one thousand times, take shadow of haste as if it targets the wrong thing you can just kill it, then hit dark escape or dash and after you recharge go in for another round

Nemesis of the Void
Maybe someone can figure this mystery out. I get to ssuns, cast shadow form warp in near him cast glyph and then sliver armor, sliver armor starts to dmg him but when the naga warriors finally get to me sliver armor switches its target to one of the warriors. When i was farming the kaolins the target never changed once it was on the kaolin bosses.
CalypsoX
That's because the warriors were not in range initially (nearby) for sliver armor to hit. It happens on Kaolin runs as well. If you happen to be wielding a Totem Axe or Raj sword, the rangers will close in to blind you, and sometimes sliver armor will switch to them.

Gotcha, but if you dont kill the boss in 17sec(+20% enchant mod) then you would have all but 40-something hp, right?

It does that all the time... switches to kill Afflicted Assassins/Warriors... switches to kill Rot Wallows, it always switches target if its made up its mind to kill it.
Nova... stop asking stupid questions. You've already posted a thread about this build detailing it (copied directly from wiki) saying this is the build you use. Now you let on you don't even have a high level assassin. Its almost as bad as chicks posting saying he made 300k+ in 2 days then later on posting saying he didn't have a clue what Shadow Form was.
Theres just too much bullshitting/stupidity going on in this thread. Do you need everything spoon fed or something? You were given a brain for a reason, use it.
The golden rule of farming, if you can't get the hang of it, do something else.

Yes, 51 health is all I have remaining (with some fluctuations). So either be sure to kill him, or Shadow of Haste from a safe spot, run in, do your dmg and before you lose SF hit dark escape (or another stance it doesnt' matter) and port out of there. Cause a sin with 50 health does not last long tanking!
It'll be interesting to see what the NF greens go for!

I'm having really hard time with Warrior Construct. I use E/A build with 2x crystal waves to kill non wanted sliver targets faster. I have killed it couple of times but it seems to be really dependant about spawn. If the 2 groups between warrior boss and safe spot has mesmer or necromancer it is nearly impossible for me to kill the boss. Mesmer's snare and necromancers interrupt on SF are really annoying and most of time I just have too little time to kill the boss. Sliver armor just seem to target 2-3 other enemies first and then I sipmly run out of time and have to try again and same thing repeats thanks to afflicted ritualists. I also use shadow of haste/dark escape to get as many tries as possible.
And for those who think shiroken eles are big problem, I have found that when SF is ending just tele back via shadow of haste, then switch fast to -hp set and when SF have ended swich fast to +hp set so you don't die to degen. BTW I don't use shadow refuge because for me biggest problem is too short SF and not my health.. and that weapon set swich really helps also if you get stupidly long faintheartedness or some other degen hex (happens me trying to get as close as possible to warrior construct without SF.)
Necro boss is stupidly easy for me, It is shame he drops his staff so rarely. Mesmer boss is pretty much about luck and spawn. Usually I have to kill at least 3-5 other enemies first and there 2x crystal waves help a lot. Monk is all about spawn. If there is lots of other monk enemies I dont ever bother even to try to kill it. Usually with 2 other monks monk boss is doable pretty easily by accroing both patrols near him.
It isn't possible for me to make A/E because I have already 5 20 lvl pve chars which don't include assasin primary and 1 pvp slot which I really need to do gvg. And I really would like to get that Warrior Construct down.. I have some unfinished business against him

I would be interested by the average success rate of all you guys. I played this build extensively, finding it really new and clever, but I find it to be highly unreliable. I mean, successful killing rate is really low. (Or if you want, getting your green takes a long time).
I farm essentially the constructs, being the only ones really hard to solo by other means, but many problems occur.
1) The run past the Am fah isn't sure. What I do is that I aggro them, cast SF, run into the 1st group of afflicted to make them fight each other while I flee (so no more traps for the other runs if I die).
2) Sliver Armor targetting issues. You know this. When surrounded without a chance of escaping, it means quick death.
3) Sufficient aggroing. You have to aggro a tremendous amount of mobs to make Sliver armor deal enough damage to kill the construct before it ends. That means that you have to wait the groups of mobs being close together, to attract them toward your boss. If you fail, not enough mobs will mean not enough damage and quick death. The waiting for the correct mob configuration can really take a lot of time.
4) Outhealing. Monks/ritualists or both will heal your target, and sometimes heal it really fast and well. Attracting more mobs is not a solution (as I tested it), as you will often attract more monks and more ritualists to heal your target (so mob composition, which is random, is really central also).
My success rate through my runs is something like 60%. And if the killing can be quick, the run/positionning can be really long.
I ask this because I'm beginning to wonder wether a 3 or 2-man run is not somewhere more profitable than this A/me solo build.

Yes this build can be tough. The only real problem I see is the weird targeting of sliver armor. A/E and E/A should make almost no difference since u can cause higher dmg with 16 earth rather than 12 allowing u to kill faster.
MaaKotka
I deal with that first Am Fah group like this:
1 activate shadow of haste somewhere before aggroing Am Fah
2 run through that group and try to avoid traps (If you get knocked down just quicktravel to town and try again, you will learn fast usual places for those annoying traps)
3 wait that first afflicted group to come as near as possible, then activate SF and lure them to Am Fah group going backwards because Shadow of Haste is activated and if you run forwards you will lose aggro
4 when middle of Am Fah and SF starts to blink, activate dark escape or any cancel stance you have with you and run little backwards and wait afflicted to kill am fah
This really sounds much more harder than it actually is.
My success rate with necro is near 100%, mesmer is something like 60%, monk mayby 70% (I check those groups and dont bother if there is too many monks, ritualists heal is so weak that it doesn't really matter, and if there is lots of meleeguys it helps), warrior is something like 10% max and that is where I really would like to get some advise.
I tested today Sunreach and Scar Eater and found them both stupidly easy. I tried both about 5-7 times and succeed every time very fast, no luck getting greens though :/
1 activate shadow of haste somewhere before aggroing Am Fah
2 run through that group and try to avoid traps (If you get knocked down just quicktravel to town and try again, you will learn fast usual places for those annoying traps)
3 wait that first afflicted group to come as near as possible, then activate SF and lure them to Am Fah group going backwards because Shadow of Haste is activated and if you run forwards you will lose aggro
4 when middle of Am Fah and SF starts to blink, activate dark escape or any cancel stance you have with you and run little backwards and wait afflicted to kill am fah
This really sounds much more harder than it actually is.
My success rate with necro is near 100%, mesmer is something like 60%, monk mayby 70% (I check those groups and dont bother if there is too many monks, ritualists heal is so weak that it doesn't really matter, and if there is lots of meleeguys it helps), warrior is something like 10% max and that is where I really would like to get some advise.

this build is sick, I praticed on Scar Eater with my e/a....100% success rate, doesn't matter if Oni spawns or not, I kill him in 10 seconds or less. I stick around after boss dies and recast shadow form and sliver armor to see if any of the monsters drop a gold, I got a gold gothic axe, and a silver dye.

Using Shadow of Haste its really tricky to lure them properly and it takes ages to do with them constantly breaking agro.
Besides, if you have SoH on your skillbar your usually pretty safe from death so you don't reappear back near the Am Fah often anyway (specially if those sodding shrines keep activating on the other side of the map for no reason).

I Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but in addition to sunreach, on that same run you can get this guy:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Konrru%2C_Tainted_Stone
Konrru is rediculous easy because there's no one to heal him, the only pain (as usual) is getting sliver to target him. took me several time with various mobs to take him down.
He's also easy to get to. If you have more luxon faction than kurzick, after you get sunreach's drop, die. You'll rez right near him, and I think I killed him with sliver, plus shock and aftershock which was already on my bar for the ol' shield-giver.
Shadow of Haste+dash is some fun, btw. For any area of the game really.

You respawn to the other shire if you haven't activated that first shrine. If you run straight line to Am Fah you will not activate that shrine and the other shrine is closer to you when you die near mesmer or elementalist construct. That is why you have resurrected to that other shrine. I was confused also at first about that

Why you use Dash instead of Dark Escape? DE is just plain better in every situation, at least in my opinion.
![]() Could someone give some advice on that Warrior Construct pls? |
