If you don't like 20% casting:
***+5 energy/20% enchant sword/axe/spear & Kindlerock (+1 20%, 20% recharge)***

First set you could get for 5-10k, 2nd set 15-20k.
Both are better than Rago's staff.
Both are MUCH better than Kepkhet's.

but still kepkets, is the cheap route, its only flaw is the dmg output being a monk staff....

its still got

Universal 20% chance recharge (will work for fire and water)
20% longer enchantments
+15 energy in all


and seeing as i dont even use the dmg of my staff, im good with it lol =]

i'm killing the trolls fine, but i'm getting 0-3 drops per run. Its not farm code either, this is my first run in around a week.


Any ideas?

Very nice build--thank you! I've been doing this as a Me/E with a lot of success. The anti-farming code tends to rain on my parade a lot, but it's erratic at best. Sometimes I get it after as little as 10 runs. Other times it rears its ugly head after 30 or 40 runs.

That being said, I'm very happy with the way that this turned out.

How you can fight the degen in GoK? There's like -10 degen and I die in few seconds.

quite simply? you use a different build. the main way is to use Aura of Restoration, since you'll be spamming lots of spells :P

When you kill the Hellhound it spawns a large bunch of undead including Hounds, Ghouls, and 3 Zombie Warlocks.


One problem you might be having is that this build doesn't work as well for GoK

Try this:

Lava Font - Flame Burst - Rodgort's Invocation - Glyph of Sacrifice - Meteor Shower - Fire Attunement - Elemental Attunement - Aura of Restoration

At the top of the hill, use your 3 enchants. Run to the bottom of the hill, use Lava Font then Flame burst to kill the Hound and Ghouls. Keep spamming those as the big mob comes, they'll all die when they reach you. When the 3 Warlocks get in range, use Glyph of Sacrifice and Meteor Shower on them. Follow up with Rodgort's Invocation on them (sometimes they don't die from MS alone, whether through Dark Bond or just standing too far apart). Aha, found it... page 3

For a long long time now, my Ele and Monk have lain dormant.

My monk now 55s as a Mo/E at Elona, and it works.

My Ele never reached 20; I got bored at level 18 after spending over 60k on Hydromancer 15k armour (which until now, never saw use). Thank you my good man. You have given my ele purpose again. Im posting a video on youtube of my ele farming the trolls. At level 19, it took my exactly 9 seconds to kill the entire group of trolls (counting from start of meteor shower to my final spell ending and them all keeling over dead).

Awesomeness..got me from 18 to 20 rather fast :P

Glad you liked it. For everyone else who didn't check the first post, here is the video;

Dont Feel No Pain...AWESOME build.

Now I begin to wonder. With the speed bonuses granted by Armor of Mist, could this build be used to farm the Smites run in the UW if you use AoM to run PAST the Aatxe and lure only the Grasping's? They have low low health, and it could probably take them down before Mist Form ends. And the smites wouldn't be able to stop you from casting it.

It would sort of be a "last one left alive" contest :P

Also I noticed that sometimes, with the NEW Kephkets refuge, Mist Form's recharge is halved and it can be instantly recast.

Awesomeness

wont work

aatxes acauly take alot less dmg than trolls do from fire, + savage slash will go through mist form and will own your fire spells ...therefore, its a no go

Yeah the build is a no go for UW. It's fragile in the sense that there's not much tanking except from the duration of Mist Form (which means kill under 20 sec or be killed). I like the buid, mixing attributes as in different elements is always a wonder to me =] Will have to get the skills to get my ele some exp. It's true that a solid hour of farming can net a nice profit, but then again a solid hour of farming trolls, minos, and GoK is so boring I dont think I could even hold the routine for more than a few runs of each. Pennies do add up though, I'll have to learn how to buckle down =]

Erm...Armor of Mist is a running skill as such. + 36 armor for me and 18 seconds of +33% speed. Get to the cave, farm it dry, and back to droks all under a minute roughly.

Aaaaalrighty then. I noticed some people were having trouble with Elona. So I tweaked this build a bit and added Frozen Burst in, player around with the timings (then realised it also does some nice damage) and I now have the absolute perfect mix to kill all the minotaurs at the same time.

So to hell with it...I made a video. Im uploading to you tube as I type...will post link ASAP.

However, I put this in the video aswell, WATCH OUT! There is always one lame ass annoying minotaur who shows up just in time to miss the party. With a Kephkets, theres a 20% chance you can re-use Mist Form before it runs out, but if not (and another 1 or 2 minotaurs show up) then use your AoE spells, grab your drops then re-cast Mist to get your last drops.

Or run away a bit, wait, re-cast, then get drops.

All in all, in the video, 1 minute 10 seconds from entering Elona Reach to leaving Elona Reach. I died 10 times to get the cast order right so then I made this video to help you, so you better appreciate it :P.

Its mainly for those (like me) who want to do it differently. I also find that my version means the minotaurs all die, so if alot live and run off before Flame Burst is cast, then it stops that lame ass "all with 1hp but attack 3at a time" thing that happens

Link coming soon

Edit: Once again, a nice kill time. From Meteor Shower cast to all dying is 10 seconds. Peachy

Dont Feel No Pain...you have created an elementalist monster build dude :P

elona is quite easy... after the combo with the added flame burst (taking away armor of mist)...you spam lava font with or without mist form... they die quick....easy...but yeah frozen burst is a goood thing is ya want it there..



by the way I've had alot of "you are god" and thingy pm's... Im not liking it because this build was created by many players in different chunks... I just got the sources of many monk, ele, necro builds and combined a dmg combo and then made it pure fire.... I spent alot of time working on the build with forozen burst and slowing down things...but in the end a massive dmg output in a short time was all i needed..... I did not make this build... I only developed and tweaked it =]

ok, i finnaly worked out my (me/e) build. i had a little trouble of them running away because of my dmg output at 12 fire. i couldent quite kill the in one burst, and they started to run away, so i trapped them (muhahahaha). the trap point is right next to the entrance to the right.
I use physical resistance to herd them into the corner for their death.

How Reliable is that trapping method, cause if it often works I'll try this out with my Mesmer.

Try 15-20k an hour, if you ID all the items at a price of 4 gold they almost double in value.

Not to mention I just got a 15^50 rare Fellblade and a shitty rare SotW. =D

Oh how I wish people would read threads... I posted a non-factions build way back.

Lava Font

Armor of Mist
Mist Form

Fire: 16 (12+3+1)
E. Storage: 9 (8+1)
Water: 10

Cast Armor of Mist to get through any groups of trolls or avicara on your way to the cave. When you get there, round up as many trolls as are there (or as many as you feel comfortable with). Once everything is aggro'd, cast Mist Form. Target the nearest troll (you can use 'C' to do this quickly) and hit your skills in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. GG trolls.

Notes: There is no energy management, but you don't need any - one sequence kills them all. If you don't have enough energy to do the full sequence, you can get a +15 energy/-1 regen wand and focus to do the job. A 20% enchant weapon is not necessary, but it is nice to have, since it boosts Armor of Mist and Mist Form.

As always, anyone can feel free to PM me here or in-game with questions, or if you want to see this work. @ dont feel no pain: SV/AV is pointless, they're dead before they build adren. Phoenix is a 3 second cast. It doesn't seem like much, but when your whole killing sequence can be cast in 5 seconds, 3 seconds doubles the casting time.

Ok i am rezzing this tread for good use:
Faction farming! The shiverpeak arena with the iway team works best. basically, use the skills in order (exept fire attunement)


this is my pvp only ele, so i have a sup water and a sup fire on her.

@ mesmer in need: shiverpeak arena? how are you in a pvp arena alone?
The nuke before they run away method is a nice one, works on smites with Sandstorm and any melee range mobs can be burned with this build. Best run times on mobs, but where are you farming in elona with this build? I haven't found any pure melee mobs to farm in elona =/

How do you stop the Zaishen Warriors from scattering? I tried it..they use bows first; you run over to them and they scatter

Edit: Nevermind...did the IW team instead. They do about 120 dmg then all keel over dead, burning etc.

Cos of their reduced mesmer armour, you only need Mist Form, Glyph of Sacrifice, Meteor SHower, Bed of Coals, Lava Frozen Burts, Inferno

I only have Prophecies, tested ur build, didn't work that great, so I did some changes:

1 - Mist Form
2 - Glyph of Elemetal Power
3 - Mark of Rodgort
4 - Meteor Shower
5 - Lava Font
6 - Frozen Burst
7 - Inferno
8 - Armor of Mist

Exit Droks, use the Armor of Mist after the first tree, just run straight to the cave. When you get there, the Armor of Mist will be over, so run inside and Aggro.

Cast Mist Form, then the spells from 2 - 7 the fast as you can. I'm sure it will work. Just make sure ALL the Trolls are near you, so all the spells will do their work.
