I defeted Shiro with Koss as tank-only, and a friend as dervish-tank (balthasars ava and physical resistance).
They were not getting that much dmg from Shiro, and it was rather easy this way.

So saying a warrior is unwanted isn't quite true

PS.: no necro with spoil or spiteful, no mes with empathy. Just 3 monks 1 dervish 1 warrior 1 elem 1 ranger-npc 1 paragon-npc.

Im unsure on this after reading through the thread..
if you are not actively killing or casting you get no exp? is that correct?
so if you have bonds on a hero you still get exp?

im currently working on the legendary survivor title and am a bit scared about doing this and going afk. but the lightbringer status would be nice to use while getting exp.
any suggestions?
Id be willing to go afk far away from the action for the ranks if someone who knows what their doing is willing to take a leach

Yep. spawned monsters no longer give points, even if you kill them manually. Which is kinda sad really as the rate of LB point gain via exploring has been slowed also.

Well that was a quick fix. If they stop the exp gain from spawned monsters, then it was only a matter of time before they stopped the LB gain.

A step in the right direction, me thinks.

I'd say just leave your game running if your doing it...just deal with the " A new build is available" message.

This thread was originally about how to effectively farm lightbringer points.
NOT limited to AFK farming. It was simply because AFK farming was the most effective farming method, that the thread focused on it as the primary issue.

Now that the exploit has been fixed, the thread will simply revert back to the original topic: How to farm lightbringer points effectively.

Especially since we are possibly getting a new area in a few hours, and there are always new finds by users all around.

It would be arrogant to assume that everyone knows the "best place" to farm, and discussion thread is unnecessary.

Started farming too late. Talk about a grind to get to rank 8. 50k @ 2 points a kill is silly imo. I hope they give more quests/missions with higher rewards because this is one the worst grinds I've seen in any game. It doesn't give people who have a life any chance of getting r8 w/out the "afk method". And now that its been disabled for most, I don't think we'll see a lot of r6+ lb's around.

I had to waste my time getting these dumb heroes and their fighting all night for a few nights until I got my holy lightbringer title was their way of paying me back for wasting time in acquiring them.

hardly an exploit.

So if we dont get points from killing duplicates anymore, then perhaps Anet should consider increasing the value of points we get on a unique kill. 2 points\ kill is going to take ages to get this to 50k... (unless of course this has changed) What do people think?

Yep... and this is good.

About time A.net fixed a massive exploit being abused to farm rank. AFK farming doesn't equal playing the game.

I said what I said earlier just because DJ just happens to be a friend, and it was just friendly banter. What does it matter though? It is of no more use. So don't have to be so serious.

I got the first 4000 points the honest hardworking way. Its not that hard if you kill the margonites in the realm of secrets. but 50.000 IS hard to achieve i'm lucky i made it just in time.

lightbringer gaze doesn't get much better at R4+ anyway since you rarely have 9 Monsters in one place but a R8 Signet would be a nice bonus for casters (24 energy )

i think the main advantage of afk lb farming was free exp gain.
~10 hours afk = survivor3
