Tomb Solo farm sin style

Yellow ppls! well Just wanted to submit a solo farm dat works pretty well in Tombs, or Scarred earth as it is called now <_< so here it is:

A/Me
Stats:


*Note: My sin still needs his last 30 points <_< srry still too lazy to get d quests.

Skills:
Shadow form
Arcane Echo
Shadow of haste
Dark Escape
Jagged Strike
Wild Strike
Death Blossom
Critical Strike

Armor: Well anythin dat is energy manageble, I prefer that u get 30energy

Weapons: something that gives 20% enchantment lasts

HOw to use: Well its pretty easy, u use shadow of haste first den echo, then sf before u go to combat. Basicly the attack skills are for fast recharge and for the enrgy regen so u can use dem again. This build is not meant to heal, so no healing. Anyways ITs pretty tedious since u gotta attack, retreat, recharge, den attacka gain. But its pretty amazing with the drops. Got golds <_< srry no pixs but u can see d ecto. Well, the build will have a hard timewith the worms in the second place, so Yeah im still figuring that out...So well happy hunting peoples!!!!!


Misc: Thxs to Zac Shadowsword for um, watching and who was the first person i shared the build with.

Ps: SINS RULE!!!

oh yeah by retreat i mean use darkescape to cancel d shadowhaste... oh and yeah i is a noob =]

Nice build! I knew assassins were good for something! =p

WOW...out of 9 months of playing guilds wars, i had no idea that ectos dropped in the tombs. i thought they only dropped in the other underworld. time for me to go over there with my ranger and assassin now =)...thanks for the info!

yes ecto drop in tomb, FOW and UW. I didn't get from UW because I don't goes there, but I did get ecto from tomb when I was there just for fun. it drops

as u can see I'm half way done


gold drop


Yes! the first part of tombs is very soloable with this build... I jus need to figure out how to kill dam worms in second stage.. lol

How's the drop rate? A couple every run?

- (edit) ectos that is

Nice 1 to bad i got to get my sin farm enough to enter tombs:\

nice work, i probably wont be trying this, but very well done indeed

Tried. Did the first stage. Damn wurms in second annoy me.

first off cool build, almost wish i had a sin. and a question y not use all sup runes? since the health does not matter in this since u are jumping back and forth. could help with increased dam, and make the run go faster

Quote:

ok seeing as how this build cant take the worm.... and it cant take an aoe damage from the worms later on in the stage, how bout making a dual run thingy? I dont know, but the big problem is getting past stage two fro me.. and popping worm is getting irritating and as i cant heal, after i kill he pops and i die =\ so yeah.... lol i'd like to see a dual run in tombs...

exelent , exelent !!! this wants me to take my sin to Tombs ...i deffinatly need to try this out !

if any1 wants to dual the tombs with me add me in game name is Rawlinson V Sausal... I think its much faster if two sins do it, and in order to kill d spewing worms faster, two sins gotta go in and out to kill d spews in third stage... as of now stage two is passable with the solo sin build... the harder is stage 3 with spew wurms =]

im sooooo trying this, just hope damage isnt a problem

Nice build, I must try it, I was also thinking, could you use deadly paradox to half shadow forms recharege, to do Deadly paradox - Shadow form - echoed SF - Shadow form?

and what if you could keep shadow form up all the time, there would be no need to shadow of haste.

well that's the whole point I've been thinking around the last few days, I haven't found a solution yet, for now on it only worked if my buddy brought quickening zephir with him and serpent's quickness ands keeps the spirit up somewhere out of reach.

A/me + E/x it is Assassin tanks all the time (doesn't need shadow haste and dash) and Elementalist with his fire magic does dupa wupa. Assassin can help ele with some attacking skills like dancing daggers etc. Gonna test it just when i buy shrouded armor.

Ok I have a few questions about this build:
1. How many enemies, on average, can you kill with 50 seconds of shadow form?
2. Are there any other places you can use this?
3. How many rounds of the attack combo does it usually take to kill an enemy?
Also very nice looking build, can't wait to try it with my sin.

No Deadly Paradox?

paradox disables attack skills, I guess he wants to kill stuff?

Yes...ectos drop in FoW..but really rare..i got one last year. I think it was from a Banshee...past the Forest area.

Nice little build i'll have to give it a shot..thanks for the cool post Rawleson...I've been using shadowform/sliver for green farming..never thought about doing tombs or any are with attack skills and shadow form...guess i better get my sin to tombs area and give it a shot.

There is a way to keep shadow form up all the time with a mesmer skill...so maybe two sins could do whole area? I'd have to look up the skill...i've heard of people doing it in PVP.

ok , got my siN True tyria and to tombs , now im going to bed but i will surely do it tommorow with u Rawl . see ya later

THE HOW TO PASS STAGE 2 tOMBS SIN STYLE
(unless you got 2hours of free time, then you cant pass this if you are soloing)

PASSING STAGE 2: Part 1 of 2--sectors 1 and 2

PASSING 2-1



The red dots in the picture indicates where you need to activate ur shadow haste. The reason for this is to avoid mob detection. Therefore unless you are too cool to die, I suggest using the indicated area.




The colors indicate groups of mobs and here is the color order in which you have to follow.
Color Order:
1-blue
2-green
3-yellow
4-purple/pink
1-this mob consist of dream riders and terror webs. I suggest killing terrorwebs first due to the fact they are bleed-able.
2-This mob consist of scythes and grasps. There will be a ton of grasps so, watch careful on ur bar, dont over do too much with your combos. In here you should kill all grasps of insanities first then go for scythes. You as a sin can only kill one grasp of insanity within a 40sec sf due to energy sucking from Grasps.
3-same as 1
4-same as 2
*note*there is a high likeable chance dat you will aggro groups 2-4 so be very careful with energy, be alert dat there are alot of grasps on you.


After killing these 4 mobs, you have to kill the group found south. there are pop ups of grasps of insanity. I suggest you start in the middle where the tortured soul spawns.


Vaula you have passed area 2-1


PASSING stage 2-2


Here I've indicated markings.

Gray line-Its below the baby-blue dots, which makes it look like a face... Here is where you start inorder to kill the lime-green pop up and blue mob.

Light blue dot- This spot is where you activate shadow of haste when you are killing the worms.

Pink/Purple line-This is the bottom of the stair. before you cross the point you should activate your sf cus beyond here the left wurm can feel you.

Yellow dots-popping wurms

light green-pop ups

blue dot- patrol consists of grasps and scythes

red dot-duh thats a group

*NOTE*-wurms can't feel you when u port out, therefore they wont chase you
-always kill grasps of insanities first


HOw to pass:
1. activate the left pop up. kill the graspsin that pop up group.
*note*wurm will attack you, when he pop ups u lose balance and take 30 damage. Just get the grasps within your aggro bubble and if wurms pops up stay still and let grasps come.

2.kill blue patrol
Same with 1

3.kill left wurm
How to kill wurm: first head over to light blue dot. activate shadow of haste. Cast Echo, head a little up over barney line. Stand still, wurm pops up, cast sf, attack with all your might. Port out, and rinse. This will take about 4 times doing over and over.


4.Aggro pop up group. Kill red group and pop up. Read step 1 and 2

5.Kill wurm:read step 4.



And vaula you have just cleared Area 2-2



*****sorry I didnt take much pictures... I'll post 2-3 and 2-4 soon, I passed dem but ddint take pics

And this is Random Arena Irl


And this is where we went after my sin got bored farming tombs


bwaahahahah im bored
