I'm running my E/A for Kaolin runs. So far I've killed mes, ele, monk, and necro contructs. Got the monk and mes staff on my 3rd or 4th run, I don't remember. Only the warrior is giving me trouble. I can't seem to kill him. Silver armor always kills off the afflicted ones first, then it targets the warrior construct. By then Silver armor and Shadow form is gone, then the rits res the dead ones. Rinse and repeat, same result. I think I'm just gonna skip the warrior until then...
some guy
Question: How do you keep up shadow form?
And, must take out my assassin from pvp for a while. Time to farm.

After playing AB today... i'm quite tempted to run this build there.
Would be hilarious to see an MM group... run in with Shadow Form on, cast Sliver Armour and kill the MM using his own minions

Welcome to FoW, enjoy your stay.
Yes i really did. If for some reason you don't have a character capable of soloing FoW and feel the need to get some shards... This is for you. Although its stupidly slow and impossible to clear, but its fun to do
I cba to post screenshots... but it is possible to kill various things down there given enough time. Spiders go down in 1s or 2s till they start to thin out. Shadows are a bit picky... it always seems to target the Warriors first. As i just found out SoH isn't enough to break agro of skeletons.... so chased down and pwnd. But the casters are extremely weak to earth (Icehands take 42 from lvl18 SA), Spirit Shepherds... don't bother. 110 damage Lightning Touch and they only take 17.

Woot! Got his shield. Finally!
I just Dark Escape past the first little group of three (couple of kirins and one of those foilage hedgehog things I think), then stop under the tree branch for a rest and target Sunreach. I then use Shadow of Haste and watch the groups wandering around. When the patrolling wardens (2 or 3) go back near him, I run up as near to Sunreach as I can get without aggroing, then use Shadow Form and run up to him, sometimes using Death's Charge. Sliver nearly always targets him for me and when it does he's usually going down..
Hope that helps
Anyone used this on Kunvie? I can get to her but haven't managed to actually fight her yet! - never knew carp could be so aggressive!

yes you can kill kuunvei with this...i've done it several times. what makes it really really really easy on kuunvie is the celestial skill you have. get close to her on the outside of the box <on the side> and cast your celestial skill...sometimes she will die just from that. if now aggro the group outside and attack and kill her. real fast and easy. you can also kill the warrior before her and the assassin on the way to her. oh and the monk also. unfortunately the only wep worth anthing there still is kuunvie.

How come you've killed it several times and not realised its called Star Ancient KOOSUN? And also not noticed Carp are nowhere in the vacinity?
You'd struggle to kill Kunvie imo. Carp patrol all over the place. Oh and Inferno would hit you for 200-225/400-450 damage and Lightning Touch for 125-175/250-350 (w/o Dark escape). So its really not gonna happen
Oh its also possible to kill the Ranger Construct using only Sliver Armour. Was showing someone a run earlier and decided to try luring it into the mass of groups at the Necro, 17 damage a hit is naff all... also meaning that the Ranger Construct has the exact same Earth AL that Spirit Shepherds do

Has anyone successfully killed ghial with this? I managed to run to him the other day, but I didn't do enough damage. At that point I realized i had 9 in earth magic. I didn't have enough time to attempt it again though...

Wouldn't work either way. Moment you go to cast Sliver Armour the Mesmers would jump on it with Signet of Disruption. Guess you could bring Glyph of Concetration but then you might not have enough damage unless your E/A.

Wow awesome build, genius thought to combine sliver armor and shadow form. Maybe i should dust of my E (level 1) and level it up a bit But i'm afraid that when i'm ready green prices have dropped so much that it isn't worth the effort. Anyway this triple green drop weekend is not gonna help. I also really get the idea that the prices in Cantha green list are kept artificially high.
Wonder when Anet will nerf sliver armor :S This skill is way to powerful and not even elite. I remembered getting slain by it quite a few times as warrior in Raisu Palace. Some monk said: "If you get targeted by sliver armor just attack another enemy" Yeah right
Thx for sharing this awesome build!!!

Ummm is there a way to help sliver armor select Sunreach? Because it literally never does for me.... I don't have much problems with traps/knockdown, it's just that sliver seems to always target a wallow or a warrior first....
I did this run about 30 times and only managed to kill him twice...

Just in case anyone wants to, you can also solo Chung, the Attuned and Chan the Dragon's Blood with this.
In fact, you can probably solo most of the Am Fah bosses with this. Not sure why you'd want to though, their greens aren't worth that much.

It is possible to kill Ghial with this and I don't find it too difficult. What I do is dark escape past all the groups and stop about half way on the bridge approaching Ghial's party. With no speed skills on I aggro the four jade knights on either side of the bridge, cast shadow form and run towards Ghial. Death charge him when I won't lose all the knight's aggro, and cast the glyph and sliver. I haven't yet been interrupted with signets, maybe good luck but there have been mesmers around, and only 1 time out of 4 or 5 I haven't killed him. Usually he's far enough away from everyone else that sliver targets him.
Got the constructs down, no blade yet though, hopefully this weekend.
Stil having trouble with Sunreach and find killing Jayne to be pretty inconsistent.
But either way this is an awesome build desires, and thanks once again. For fun I ran something based on this in AB last night and it worked fairly well when everyone likes to target sins! lol

Yeah you can solo Ghial with this, I killed him many times, but not worth the time and it involves a lot of luck (ex:not being killed when pulling). Bring glyph of concentration, two running skills, and heart of shadow (to stay alive when running). Pull the group that patrols near the Tengu village when they are near the bridge area, bring them near Ghial, glyph of concentration then shadowform and death's charge to Ghial. Remember to Glyph every time you cast

this is an excellent build thxs to the op for sharing
ive done quite a few solo runs [kaolin mostly] with both my sin and ele but found it somewhat time consuming to clear all 5 bosses [ele, nec, mes, war & monk] because of sliver not targeting the bosses from the get go or sliver just not lasting long enough.
so a friend and i decided to try a 2 man to try and cut down on the time. the build is just a little tweak on whats already there.
2 man consists of an e/a & a/e [but im sure 2 a/es or 2 e/as will also work]
just replace one of your skills with recall. i usually replace shock with recall
how it works:
simply throw recall on ur buddy and vice versa and take turns on any 1 boss till he dies. use recall when sliver or shadow form r about to end.
this is a great way to tag team all the kaolin bosses in a short period of time.
we can clear all 5 bosses in about 15-20 minutes [not too shabby if u ask me]

This is why you bring Shadow of Haste. It does exactly the same as Recall if you use it right.
And for the record, my runs takes about 10-15 mins. Solo.

Is there a list of bosses you can get with this?
You can get The Scar Eater if you aggro enough, Sunreach and Falaharn at the same time of course, Darkroot Entrop is VERY easy if you use Obsidian Flame, the person who taught me the build got Ironclaw with Teinai's Crystals, Obsidian Flame, and much luck. Are there any others?
EDIT: I use Galigord's Stone Scroll and a Totem Axe.

is it just me or have i seen this exact build being used for at least the last 3-4 months?
Either way, i got 3 suncreach shields in a row yesterday when a guildie taught me.

has sliver armor been nerfed or something?
my sliver armor won't target the bosses anymore or will only do that for a short while and then switch to a normal enemy.
Very frustrating

One of my first runs of the green weekend I got three greens! Blade, Domination staff and Accursed staff. Woo!
Managed to sell it all for lowish prices but enough to make it worthwhile.
Sins for the Win!
Gonna go try Kuunvie now.

Is it possible to kill the Monk Construct with only Sliver Armour as damage? I've tried, but if sliver targets something else then you're shafted because it'll take roughly the length of sliver to kill whatever it targets, what with the monk healing it.

Its possible to kill all the Constructs with only Sliver. My screenshot on the last page was taken after killing the 5th Construct that run using only Sliver (Rust i guess if you count it). Then while showing someone a run i decided to go for the Ranger, had to lure a massive amount of patrols from the Necro but it died.
Kunvie just isn't possible. Inferno = 400+ untargetted, Lightning Touch = 200+ skill. That boss HURTS. Unless your my ranger whose onto his 5th staff

Sliver armour is largely a matter of luck. Jus move around until it targets the boss.
BTW, can someone make a list of easy -> hard Kaolin farms? I'm trying to learn on the Monk's construct, but I'm not having much success (actually, screw that, any success).

Anyone have any tips for actually killing the sin boss Falaharn? I go the back way, but sliver usually never targets him first. In the video I see him being killed in 5 seconds. I actually want his daggers, so I'm still attempting to kill him.
CalypsoX
To all those people who keep saying "Help, sliver armor isn't targetting correctly", do you actually keep trying or do you give up the on the run immediately and start over? DP is largely irrelevant with is build.
For Sunreach specifically, Sliver armor WILL EVENTUALLY hit sunreach, usually after it kills off one or two baddies if it doesn't target him the first time. Once those are dead, go back in again, since this time Sliver armor will hit the on the first try. There should be plenty of enemies left to still take him down. The way Sliver armor works is that once it picks a target, it'll keep hitting that target (as long as it's in range of the spell) until it dies, then switch, no matter how many times you die or how many times you go in and out. This is what makes Kaolin runs annoying since the ritualists rez any monsters you killed afterwards.

One thing that I've found:
I wield my Dirks of Enchanting when I farm Kaolins. Sometimes, Sliver will be targeting the construct, then the ranger decided to run up to be to use throw dirt. Sliver then promptly proceeds to target the ranger. Motto of this?
Use a staff.

How much are these things actually going for anyway? Are any of the greens farmable even worth the effort anymore?

Even with the 3x weekend the Sunreach can still be sold for 20k and with the short run to it, it's a better profit than most
