You'd probably need not only Spellbreaker for the Mesmers.... but a second person using Greater Conflagration to shut down Order of Apostacy... >_<; Why not take 1 hero with Great Conflagration with you?

Not only that... but the spirit itself could get killed quite easily...


About the only thing that would be truly immune to that sorta stuff is an Assassin's Shadow Form.

If anyone can actually make a Mo/E that can solo the Constructs (except Monks construct, ironically) and demonstrate it to be readily workable... I'd be mighty impressed...

... and naturally I would start using it... as I really like the Kaolin gear! ^_^


[Random thought: a Mo/E with Earth elementalism could use Obsidian Flesh rather than Spellbreaker to avoid the Mesmer castings... right? ... So theoretically that would free up the Elite slot for something heavy-hitting?]

Obsidian Flesh is an elite, so it would still use that slot.

But it only gives you 18 sec +20% longer then they can still remove your enchants in those few sec's when you don't have obsidian flesh...

Heh, ironically for the afflicted in HM a shadowform/sliver probably is the optimal choice... may need to get your loot after to res though lol

I tried narrowing the skills for mo/e some more yesterday morning, glyph of concentration helped a lot since you *will* be dazed and *won't* be able to remove it. I actually laughed when I got interrupted using purge conditions. The degen is the killer now. Can easily take any group without a ranger or mesmer. Of the two though strangely, the mesmer is refreshingly easy if you spam and target them first even with a fast recharge/super fast cast drain enchant...just keep spirit bond on top as best you can and roll the dice ;P

From other things, I farmed Sand Elementals this morning got few golds but nothing special, I encountered 1 problem, their dmg sometimes pass throu shielding hands while it is up and I dunno why, but it does, not always - sometimes it happens and is a bit irritating if you see a bunch of 10 elems on you all got like 1/10 their hp and you die -.-

There is a certain irony to that... v_v; ...
The afflicted clearly are NOT meant to be farmed under any circumstances.

It IS funny that my first try there was no afflicted ranger or mesmer spawn, and the boss went down like a.... um... sack of potatoes, yeah. Never again. I always have gotten a ranger after that.

Witte, since essence bond gives no energy when you take 0 damage, you might want to take zealots fire for some extra damage in the sand elemental build.

Having either of those overlap with SH can cause it to not work. I'll bring either SB or SoA to use in the few seconds that SH is down. Be patient and wait until your standby enchant ends completely before casting SH again.

Guys, if someone posts something dumb, don't quote him with something equally as dumb. Just let it be reported and move on.

That happens because for ex:shield of absorbtion is taken in to calculation after al other enchantements such as protective spirit ,where shielding hands no ,so if u cast shielding hands and than protective spirit the game takes the first enchantement in consideration for the dmg calculation then the second.

For al people who 1.Like farming 2.Like going dual , Use the 600 hp bonder tank build and a smiter with holy wrath and retribution.
This build can realy farm 90% of al mobs available in the game,sometimes y take a ranger to just for qz.The only counters i realy found to this are any form of disenchantement that can remove spelbreaker and daze.

Well, would someone else mind explaining in plain English what the guy was trying to say then? I'm sure there was some relevance to something in there, but I couldn't make it out.

What he wants to say is: Afflicted Mesmer on Noob Island do not have Shatter Enchantment. Only Afflicted Necromancers have spell which can remove enchantments. The skill is name OoA (Order of Apostasy) You probably sacrafice the necro to death so you'll die also. After that, get your DP (Death Penalty) back to zero and repeat.

You don't mean *this* [skill]Extend Enchantments[/skill] do you?

Have you actually read the skill? it would basically cut the SoJ duration in half and then you would essentially die, which somehow seems self defeating...
You'll note several features of the skill: 1 - it's in the Mysticism Attribute line (Dervish *primary*), 2 - note the duration of the skill, and 3 - note what happens when that duration expires.
