Any chance there could be a Nightfall only build replacement for the last two skills? I cant get them because I only have Nightfall

has anybody tried this build in Hard Mode?
since bosses also drop elite tomes and rares seem to be more common

Forgot about my trial. Got the skills..

As for Hard Mode, just tried it solo, I could kill Kournans but not the beetle queen groups near the first boss.

Sure, there are quite a few places I use mine as I'm trying to get the maxed skill hunter titles and need the exp/gold. Some just as normal farmers (hydra's, hulking stone elementals, and a few others) and a hand full of bosses I kill along the way - though they are mostly Prophecies ones.

Warriors drop fairly easy and there are only a VERY small handful of monks I've been able to take down. Then again, same is true with pretty much any of the other solo-farming builds I use. The HM monks just cast too quick and heal for too much. However, I have been somewhat successful with taking along Norgu as a two man monk-boss farmer and my Dervish - I just keep him flagged away until needed.

I bought 4 sup runes
1 Sup rune of Wind Prayers
1 Sup rune of Scythe Mastery

So i think im missing 1 rune because i still need -75hp to get 130hp

------------------------------------

And my brother has the same problem only he messed with the attribute points

Here is the screen:
This screen doenst show his "Elonian Hood of Superior Wind Prayers"

I've looked at every page in this topic, and I found only one question... No answers. So I'll ask AGAIN - How to kill Valhen the Silent? His mesmers use Ignorance, which isn't bad, but he and his mobs have Rending Sweep... 3 hits and I have no enchantments, so with 58 hp (after one death) or even less after 2 deaths, I can't even touch him! Any ideas, videos?

1) Kill everything around him before engaging him
2) Bring Heart of Holy Flame instead of one of the scythe attacks(double dmg)

Sry tell ya but the Build has problems on Marga Coast. You have to die to stay alive is one thing and the other you cant kill Chor with the monk it to hard monk is spamming healing. The Build is nerf now the AI is smarter.

The Build is nerf now the AI is smarter. Nope, you're just using it wrong. Drag chor to the monk and position yourself so you're hitting both.
Also use punctuation.
Also if you're trying to kill enemies one at a time you'll never be able to stay alive.

Only need 8 earth drop your earth prayers down for +3 on mystic regeneration and put those points into scythe and take the points out of wind no wind skills in your bar.

Because of PS, they hit hit 13dmg if you have the cheapest armor or the expensive armor. I bought mine at kamadan.

I always go for a 5/1 Vampiric +15% While Enchanted +20% enchantments scythe +20% customized

1. You deal +5 damage and get healed for 5 health per hit, +15/15 on 3 targets
2. Dervish is enchanted more often then his health is below 50% "while enchanted" makes more sense to me
3. 20% longer enchants, self explanatory
4. +20% customized for massive damage

Hi! I made an account on these forums just to say this tbh. But i was looking at the skill allocations for this build and i noticed that you had gone with +1 earth in the hood instead of scythe. If you go with +1 scythe in the hood then you can lower scythe by 1 and increase earth prayers and mysticism by 1!!! Thus giving you 1 bonus point into mysticism that you didn't have before.
Correct me if i'm wrong?

I decided to try farming trolls on HM, and let me say, this build is AWESOME against HM trolls. and NM trolls are just a cakewalk. All you do is go to Talus, kill whatever trolls are in your way to the cave (No Avacar, they kill you). Then kill the trolls, and kill the warrior boss. if you die, np just rez and keep on going, that's the beauty of the build! As a scythe I just use the preorder scythe I got w/ Nightfall (Icy Soulbreaker) and that works like a charm. Just becareful, and use common sense.

I kill any trolls that are on the way to the cave, and only if I have to. I kill the avacar.

Usually by then I have a good 30%+ dp, and I run w/ 205hp, just so I can resist up to 42% dp. Once I hit the caves, it's a piece of cake. ocassionally one of my enchts will get interrupted, and I die. but 9/10 times I survive. I then finish off the Warrior Boss.

A good 10k/hour.. + golds, chests, and tomes/scrolls..

This build can HM farm almost everything it could farm while in NM. If mobs you were fighting didn't get an enchantment removal while 'evolving' from NM to HM, it's perfectly ok to kill them
If you're having problem with high DPS and don't wanna die AT ALL, do this:
Replace MV and one of your scythe attacks to Shieldieng Hands and SoA. You'll be at 0 dmg all the time.
