Nice build witte, but im wondering whats going on with droprate now.
Is it still chance 1/8 that a mob will drop anything. Or does the enemies always drop something in solo HM.
Thanks

@ Tuit. The mobs drop scaled drops still, but they didn't scale things like golds. All in all you just lose on random crap to merch.

This way you can kill the huge bog skale group. I just ball up the first 3 groups of waves and kill all 9 at the same time, then proceed to do the same with the next 3 groups (one bog in there, so keep breeze up), then kill the group of bogs/waves up ahead, then repeat. Got 3 necro tomes and 3 elem tomes in the last hour doing so, and a crapload of purples.

Only thing this build doesnt kill in that zone is the normal Mergoyles(they use powerblock), and whatever else is with them.

I would believe it is.....SS does damage whenever they cast AND attack...SoJ only does damage when they attack....besides, you can keep SS up the whole time(even overlapping it on different guys of they are close enough), whereas you need serpants quickness, or arcane echo to keep SoJ up.

Watch out for the knock-down from the Warriors!
You can leave the Warden of the Summer's alive, they are hard to kill
I'll post more monk builds and more warriors builds tomorrow!
Take care!
Witte Was / Dave Tawings Hey Witte, to easily combat the kd from warriors while using soj, just subsitute blessed and arcane for balanced and on your knees, perma balanced, also make sure you keep them in range of brambles/lacerate.
Nvm fleeting stability would cover the use of 2 skills so it is much better I guess

You do not need to keep SoJ up at all times, and with the right build, you can aggro everything on the map, and 1 SoJ will kill them all.

NAHPUI QUARTER?!! O_O;;
CELESTIAL WEAPONS! ^_^
Hey... Witte...
Does your Nahpui Quarter system include only the "Star" Tengu or does it account for the gradual addition of the Celestial critters too? In that case, which of them would you suggest we avoid activating?
I was doing Chest Runs in Nahpui Quarter in Normal Mode before HM came along, hoping to get Celestial Weapons... and generally tried to avoid killing any of the Celestial Creatures... and found that the chests would still drop Celestial kit on rare occasions without the big guys around. I suspect though that as far as drops go, only the Celestials themselves drop the Celestial weapons.... right?

Okay, when i first saw those 2 builds i started crying, thinking witte had gone old and horrible on making build... But now, u're incredible! I though you were good on clearing areas wasting hours and getting nothing. I've really changed my mind. After you updated with more builds i got really impressed! You are godly, and most of those build are probly profitable... Please brag a little more about the drops you get ^^ so i can decide where to farm.

That sounds unlikly depending on the area....such as the minotaurs outside Ice Tooth Cave, in HM. I know for a fact you cant kill all of them in 1 SoJ...I've tried it.

You can with the hydras outside of Augury, they cannot be knocked down and they attack 2 times faster in hard mode, 1 SoJ kills them.

One really good place to run this is Minister Cho's Estate Explorable
I usually go with 105hp with SoA. Serpent Axes and Sephis Axes drop there so if you get lucky it's worth of the time. (Sephis Axe prices are dropping fast tho..)

Really? I got only Afflicted Mesmers (they do -4 health degen) Sickened Servants, Guards and Scribes. Nothing else, are you sure that you went to right place? 
Ati
sry, i meant necros... i dunno, but i skipped the castle thingi and went trough the garden full of animals, and then at the gate theres a necro...
AscalonWarrior
Hmm.. I have a feeling that you went to mission instead of explorable area?
Ati
nop. explorable. i checked. necros use order of apostasy...
clawofcrimson
could this build be used on the undead outside bergen?

^yes. and you can tell the difference after farming them one run after the other for awhile
Marverick
Although with SoJ you can go /D for Fleeting Stability, which allows you to aggro an entire map of Hydras and kill them at once. Without Fleeting Stability the Meteor hits become too much with a large group.

Evilsod
There are much, much better builds for killing the Minotaurs in Anvil Rock than that. Hell, theres a thread dedicated to it somewhere.
Could probably get by with the same build actually if i switched in Wild Blow instead of Power Attack for the Black Curtain... i'll have to try sometime. (wish i'd capped VwK on my Warrior though).

My only suggestion is that in the Mo/D builds, take mystic regen instead of healing breeze.
Swift Thief
Hey, I'm pretty sure that a N/Mo works for the ones that are Mo/N right?
Xiaxhou of Trinity
didn't we already go through this, evilsod, on witte's farming build outlining how a trapper can farm various places in FoW solo? Persistent pessimist i name you!
Skuld
Healing Breeze is dumb, use Mystic Regeneration on the Mo/Ds, only need 8 points.
