Did anyone see this http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/gw...itletracks.php.. talks about 9 ranks of LB o.O

@johan when the spear goes into call of torment, run away. get out of aggro range and make sure it doesnt follow you. there will than be two spears wandering around (usually far enough apart so you can lure one at a time). what i usually do is sneak around a side with magrid and tahlkora, and set them up at the shrine, than lure one. than i run to the other side and set up the other group...sorry its really hard to explain; ill post some pictures and a video later today. also, since i usually go as a bonder, i bring another person to do the damage in the beggining, and it helps if they bring charge.

Hey,
Im having problems setting up the afk build because i cant seem to kill the the rest of the mob without loads of dp and then i dont have the time to run away so they just keep getting 1 hit k.o's, i just wondered if anyone could do a run with me in the party so i can see how you do it all or if i could see a video?
Either would help, if you guys dont mind..
Thanks.

If you are talking about the elite mission and requiring ranks, they've already stated the requirement is to finish the game, nothing to do with rank.

I think zinger means that people will hard-wire your acceptance into the party based solely on your LB rank, or something equally along that line

Yep.
Fortunally, Gaile said they would change the LB system in the Domain of Anguish update. So it's up for speculation

Arg... Practice makes permanent, perfect practice makes perfect. Sorry... Lacrosse flashbacks.
Like the quote getting the first group is easy, but I can't for the life of me get a stable second group going, either sharing the bonder monk or using henchies.
I have gone from r3 halfway to r5 just trying to set up a 2 group system to no avail... scythes inevitably break aggro, spears suck almost as much. Read the entire thread, watched the videos, looked at the pictures, consulted a psychic, you name it... Anyone that would be kind enough to give me a hand with this would be much appreciated.

It wasn't the first title to change as such(Ex. KoABD) and it will not be the last (Ex. Skill Hunter).

keep in mind that -6 degen is good for 6-7 spears. anything more might kill them too quickly. so your well of silence might have to be only -2. GL. =)|

but it has to go so quick the other necro doesn't have the chance to agro the another spear.
can someone please help? ty don't use the necros to aggro the spears. position them already then YOU aggro the spear and bring it to the necro. when you've done that for one and he is already working on more than one spear in the group, bond the other necro and aggro a 2nd spear walking around and bring it to the other necro.
here's a tip: what i do is stand somewhere away from the spears. then i put MoW on the upper left corner of my aggro circle and Olias on the upper right. then i place dunkoro almost exactly where i am standing (which is in the middle, within casting range of the necros). this ensures that their positions are already set. the only thing now is to lure a spear to each necro. don't bond the 2nd necro yet until your monk is getting enough energy already from your 1st necro (when he is already fighting more than 1 spear) due to bonds. when both your necros are busy with more than 1 spear each, take your henchies with you to the 3rd spear that you left walking around. aggro it and when it stops moving, place the hench flag directly beside it. and you're good to go. =)

Only reason to bring the Ranger and Paragon is to clear the mobs at the start.
It's obvious on the video, that those ranged henchies are tossing spears and shooting arrows into the wall, and not doing any damage to the Spears of Torment.

ive been unable to consistently get a second group going aswell.. once, i messed up big time and ended up with 2 groups on my team but managed to split them for about an hour until it messed up and we died..
when i go out i usually cast Mending on Monk and Hero, Bond with Monk, once energy starts coming in Balthazar Monk and Hero (with monk), then i bond monk and balthazar, essence bond hero (or do it earlier if theres a herald in the group cos its easier to reapply if the skill is on my bar then the hero's), That way if the enemies go around the hero to the monk the monk wont die, doesnt even lose any hp with mending on

It does have 1 extra degen on all (-7 instead of -6 from poison and suffering), but it does not seem to be overwhelming them. In fact, the disease spread faster than poison, and equally reduce their health, causing more spears to spawn simultaniously, and thus raising the overall income higher.
I assume farming Scythes with this method will probably net you 1100~1150/h, maybe even 1200/h.
I'll stick to experimenting with Spears tho
Any report on your test?

So... that whole part earlier in this thread about using landmarks and such to help body block is pretty much a farse? Just plain ol aggro will keep those spears situated where you want them? If so, I think things just got a whole lot easier...

I was wondering this too as I left my bow on Jin one time and just fired away. Of course the R/N with a scythe was for spreading the poison, but with disease and ranged weapons it makes sense to just set them up so your monk is far away from aggro and be good to go. No more "walls" needed.
I think I'll try and set it up (with three groups) sometime tonight when I get home from hockey game.

i haven't tried with the scythes and the whole body blocking thing. it just seemed too complicated to me so i tried doing my own way. and so far its worked out great. i can't leave the computer on for more than 4-5 hours at a time so i've had to set this up several times already and i've never had a problem setting it up again or had inconsistent results.

anyone know if this still work after the update?
Wolydarg
I'm pretty sure the update didn't do anything to this, think it mainly had to deal with the closed beta thing for china.
ennea
stop worrying. the update didn't do anything. what we should hope for is that the update this weekend for the Domain of Anguish doesn't nerf it.
DJCoastal
argh... everytime i get 2 groups going... one seems to runs over and helps the other guy to kill...
Savio
You're putting your heroes too close together. If you stand between the two, they should just be on the edges of your aggro circle.

why do people use spears or scyths particularly? ive been using shadows of fear.. would it be better to use one of the other types or does it make no difference?
Kaida the Heartless
Shadows farm the slowest since they have the biggest heal. Scythes farm the fastest but tend to get a little too friendly with aggro circles and monks. Spears farm almost as quick, and are the easiest (and most stupid) to control.

I'll probably get flamed for this but I've been trying to read the 27 pages f this post to find the correct outpost to exit from, yes ive read the build on post #255.... but for the life of me the torment map is hard to read.
heres my question :
So is the outpost i map travel to named "gate of torment", then i exit the northwest portal, into nightfallen jahai then run to the third rez shrine (northeast) for the correct area to setup the afk?
edited::: HOLY c***polla, im gna flame myself... apparently my torment map was not complete. I checked wiki and re-read something that i had missed. "gate of nightfallen lands is the outpost itself. LOL sorry for the wasted space.

Is there something i dont understand about bonding... because when i bond the target ally using my hero he just shuts it off immediately.
edit :: I think i figured it out, you need to have the skills disabled for the bonds to stick.

Review this thread and notice that the maintained enchants are disabled.
You need to cast them yourself by clickin g the hero's skillbar.
Think this has been pointed out for, oh i dunno, bazzillion times.

Dementiak
just when i edited my bonds question, i saw emiks post.
The problem happend with dunkoro and tahikora... (but i disabled them and the bonds stayed on; tried with tahikora).
Cyan The Archer
Just a note to those who whisper people(like me) about help for the AFK farming, PLEASE have Gate of Nightfallen Lands as an outpost before asking for help, along with the needed skills. I am happy to help everyone who whisper me, but i can also be busy. It's allright to whisper me at any time, but please understand that because i refuse to help you, when im busy, you dont have the right to be annoyed at me(You know how you are...).
I am usually able to answer your questions with a whisper, but not show you when i'm busy. |
