Hi there!

*Edit: I've posted the build on this link: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...15#post2016215 Everything should be clear now*

Some of you may know that I really like to solo difficult places which you can see in this thread So yeah I decided to try the Tomb of the Primeval Kings and it's going better then I thought

I'll not reveal this build YET..

I'll definitely post it in my thread when I'm 100% done with tweaking this build. Here's a preview of what you can expect:

Grasp of Insanity's, Scythe's of Chaos, Chained Souls and Banished Dream Riders are no problem now, only the Terrorweb Dryders are hard. Again, don't worry I'll post the build very soon when I'm 100% done

Edit: I'm finally getting used to it

I still don't know when I'm done with it though.
I think that I'll reveal the build after I completed stage 1.

Stage 1 is all mine

I took 1 monk hench to res me in case I died, Just put here at your spawn point and she should come to res u if you're killed.

I tried stage 2 but it's freaking hard! The build still needs some modification but I think it's time to post the build. I'll post it when I'm back from school!

He's using a Mesmer, you can tell by the armor he is wearing.

Looks like no more waiting for favor to solo farm ectos, just go to Tombs!

But I don't how the ecto drop rate is, soloing there.

Mesmer solo.

Even this will not convince me to make a Mesmer, but good luck, I hope to see the guide to this when you're finished tweaking everything.

Not to be pessimistic, but this could have easily been photoshopped. Dont go believing that 100% of this is true, if no one else has tried it, and no one knows the build, of course there is a possiblilty it could be true, but no one really knows. Need Proof people

*can't wait*

I just started my mesmer the other week and I love her. She's the only Canthan born char of mine who has more than just LA in Tyria.

I guess its a Me/Mo 55hp build // Fingers of Chaos removes enchant only on monks.. maybe some build with SB Arcane Echo and Balthasars Aura and those other 55hp spells that keep u alive that should do it i guess SB-->Echo-->B-Aura-->SB-->B-Aura-->SB think they die quick with this combo anyway i saw a monk build like this ..

And monk secondaries.

Actually if you run to the side of the entrance you can pull the three terrorwebs there and the three banished dread riders and hope for ecto (the terrorwebs will pull all the way to the guards at the entrance). Obsidian Flesh + nukes, then Death's Charge when one is left alive so you don't have to risk running through the mobs. (Never actually tried it, just saying you could

I think it is: Ritualist/mesmer... becouse of the Following resons:

Image 1 Looks like a Mesmer spell being casted, or at least thats what i think it could be.. But looking at pic 2 then it looks like a male Char, with a somewhat Ranger looking armor.. But, Rangers got 3 regen... And looked from behind with a little luck it can look like a male rit..

And also.. Fingers of Chaos Dont have any effect on Mesmers or Rits.. making it an ideal combo of classes to use..

Further More then i have tryed to kill both Graps and Scyltes with a Echo VwK rit.. (Dahnels build) (Link to Thead:http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...0029569&page=3 (Pics of killing sycltes solo there))
And hell, maybe Witte Was has seen that it was Possible for me to solo small parts of it with a Rit/me and then tweaked the build enough so it worked better than the 10% chance of surviveing it like i had when i tryed.. :P

But hell, it could also be a Photoshopped Ranger to confuse ppl :P

But well, thats just what i guess you are doing

The model is a clearly a mesmer. You can also see that with the type of weapon he is using (a cane and a chakram). Interestingly enough the type of cane/chakram seems to be domination based.
I don't see a weapon enchantment which could be coincidence but i guess it's not. My bet is, it's a Mesmer/Ranger based upon Famine, draining the enemies with AV/SV and killing off what is left with backfire.
IIRC those close combat guys get relative peaceful once you've drained them. Maybe enough that a simple physical resistance could greatly negate the damage. Only problem would be the healing output. But once again, maybe the damage isn't high enough to start with under the effect of Physical Resistance and the correct armor, equipment.
Another thing in there might be Edge of Extinction. You can see traces of some spirits near the Zaishen guy on the minimap. Though that would mean quite a harsh Attribute Spread *Scratches head* hum.

So let's see

Famine [E]
SV
AV
Physical Resistance
Backfire
EoE
and two more things to keep him alive.

Just guessing hehe

Certainly a Me primary. The above post was in this thread that Shadow-Hunter linked to. I don't remember off the top of my head what Fingers of Chaos does to eles, but maybe it's a variation on the build in the above post.

i think your using something in the same category as the last, i dont think its totaly different, cus i think you have a build related to the other uw solo, you might be still using the earth enchants who knows, i certainly dont,

your build is probaly using mantra of conception or mantra of resolve to avoid interuption, and but its hard to say, could go a long ways to what your doing or using for damage and all that good goody, might be doing some gbing, but im totaly sure your using mesmer with one of those 2 mantras

@ the photoshop sayers:
i remember a thread similar to this was posted about 3 manning that urgoz guy, everyone flamed the hell out of the guy and telling him it was photoshop, and turned out it was a 3 man solo :P, so yea if you see where im getting to . . .

Mantra of Conception - Elite Stance. For 30 seconds, target ally has +25% better chance of getting pregnant. This is an Elite Skill.

Back on topic, I looked it up and Fingers of Chaos interrupts eles when the monsters hit. It looks like Signet of Midnight is used in the Aatxe screenshot and if the monsters are blinded, they would have a hard time hitting and thus interrupting. So it could be a very similar build.

i examined the screeny again, i think your maybe signet of midnight + epidemic or somehow dealing with melee, while fighting the others through the walls, as i see in the second, your using the walls to block them while you could be diong what god knows what to kill them, as i see your health is almost down and can be considered while in battle, but it would be pretty simple to solo this area by killing them through the walls with mesmer skills, and easily disabling the melee, but then again, still not positive

Using ele as Primary or 2nd prof seems well... Not too good... Since you will have a great chance og getting interupted.. Not only do they interupt on normal attacks.. But the mesmer there has Cry of fustration.... And a Mesmer 2nd or First prof seems needed Since if you dont drain the Grasp for adreanalin then they have fear me, distubting chop and Evisterate.. And Along with Mind Wrack + Energy Surge then thats some heavy dmg + energy denial.. i still belive its a Rt/Me or Me/rt.. seems like the only possibility..

Also i think that Anet tryed to make it an area that couldent be soloed.. But then the Rit came and added skills that they dident think of when they made topk.. still just what i bet it is.. :P

This looks very interesting, look forward to you working out the kinks in it.

Kinda wished I'd tried it, of course if I had and posted those blacked out screenies the thread woulda been closed in minutes and me booted off to the Screenshot forum

I definitely think its a mesmer, because of the armor look and how they aren't affected by claws of insanity. Notice how in the first picture he is next to the bridge in a place that would obstruct the scythes attacks and with it, claws of insanity, while AV/SV drains the melee people, rendering them unable to use their uber stance, so, it could basically be anything (except probably a VwK me/rt, considering he would NOT want the scythes obstructed). I think he is then using some sort of blind+epidemic, or fevered dreams and spreading a bunch of conditions, such as blind.
