3. The Way to the Forest



Head right until you get to the rock. Then run to the tower and take the way to the battlefield.
Watch out for the first group of skeletons. Wait until they conglomerate. You shouldn't take aggro when running past them.
If you can't afford that lure the shadow-army group with the 2 eles and 1 mesmer into that group and run like hell.
Now go on to the forest.

4. The Enemys

Spirit Shepherds:
-Lure them with a longbow
-Cast Armor of Earth and Stonestriker
-use watch yourself
-Only Heal when you're hexed with Iron Mist (If only 1 is left heal anytime you want... he won't cast it anymore)
-Get your energy with warriors endurance
-use the attacking skills to kill them



Spirit Woods
-Cast Armor of Earth
-use the attacking skills to kill them
-use watch yourself
-use the signet whenever you need
-use endurance whenever you need



Spiders:
-Cast Armor of Earth and Stonestriker
-use watch yourself
-get them to 40% of their life
-use the attacking skills to kill them




Worms:
-Cast Armor of Earth
-hit them until they die and feel free to use sever artery + gash when you aren't blind

Shadow army:
-Run past them (they use weakness+VIM. I can'T kill them :/ )



5. A few screens


Cleared the first half of the forest and taking a view of the second


Second half/the whole forest is clean now


A little jig


For all who haven't understood the essence of the build yet:
Iron Mist - Hex Spell
For 5-15 seconds, target foe moves 90% slower than normal. That foe gains immunity to damage from all sources except lightning.

Because of stonestriker you will only suffer earth dmg. But you're immune to it

Second half and such is the whole wood complete, right?

i think this is a bit slower than the beach+spider - run
Should be around ~40-50 mins

btw. i don't have a ranger but i guess rangers could use smth. similar....
maybe this:
1. Armor of Earth
2. Stonestriker
3. Marksman's Wager
4-6. Attacks of your choice
7. Troll Ugnet
8. Stormchaser

just an idea. It would be kind if anyone would test it

Well by my ranger I meant the old R/Me forest farm thats still very effective.
Thats not bad time for a Forest run, mine usually goes to about 30 mins

Very solid build!

Nice build, gonna try it out when I log on. Is warriors endurance really needed though? You use a 5 energy spell every 22 seconds and a 10 energy spell every 30 seconds.

Primal Echoes - Nature Ritual
Create a level 1-8 Spirit. For creatures within its range, Signet rings cost 10 energy to use. This Spirit dies after 30-126 seconds.

Yeah I just noticed that lol.

The build is really nice. Sometimes I have problems getting to the forest because the skeletals don't move or the mesmer keeps chasing me.

3 letters, wow.

Fantastic find, ill give this a whirl later

Couple of queries.

Have you tried Witte's Build (W/Rt) For forest? Can you honestly say whether this one seems faster (I think this one is faster due to the added degen)?

Do any creatures interrupt? I dont want people messing with my heal sig :P

I, like most people are pretty sceptical about Warriors Endurance, for the first few runs ill take it, then see if i can find an alternative Maybe Zealous Sword + hmmm a nic(er) warrior elite :P

Last question, does Lightning Touch go through your armour/immunity?

Thanks for sharing the build, gonna go get the earth skills now :P

i've tried his build a few time ago...
I think it's fast for the eles but slower for the spiders.

You just need too much energy (10 for every heal sig)

Ah thanks for speedy response, just bought stone striker, gonna try after dinner.

Btw, Im going to use FDS instead of zealous, cause its all i have right now - and i hear fire damage does extra damage against them

Also, how big a group can you take on at a time? Do you lure them in small groups?

Edit : I also dropped swords down 1 rank, seeing as my FDS is req 11, allowed me to put some more attrib in str and tact :P

ok i've got to bump this thread cause i found out that

I replaced Watch Yourselfes with glyph of Concentration

ummm... why do you have watch your self and armor of earth? doesnt the armor not stack? I can see how it is easier to cast watch yourself in the end but could there be better replacement?

does killing the big ranger monsters who set up 3 spirits not take long? they're troll unguent must be irritating. you could switch out watch yourself! or glyph of concentration for savage slash/distracting blow =] the spiders take long, no?

Spiders:
-Cast Armor of Earth and Stonestriker

-get them to 40% of their life
-use the attacking skills to kill them if you attack them like this they are at 10% health or less and they will only need 1-2 hits more with their 3 regen ;P

just a question, wouldnt lion's comfort be better than heal sig for the forest? adrenaline shouldnt be too much of a problem and thus you wont need so much energy and can use an actually useful elite...

It's an area in the Fissure of Woe which is an 'elite' endgame area that you reach from Temple of the Ages (in Kryta), map from inside FoW was on first page ;-)

nice build,
why not lion's comfort as self-heal? bypassing primal echoes
then you could actually use an elite ..
