never used tats on her, when she started 55ing in june 05 I was using black censors. I just think that if you need to use tats then you need more exp 55ing, cause ep should never be a problem ever.

Hey witte i need some help, I've tried your solo Mo/N FoW run shown on the first page yesterday. In 10runs I've been successful in clearing the 1st 3 mobs (Left mob, then 2monks with beasts on hill and then the ele/mesmer group). However the group right of the ghost pwns me everytime. I attempted to lure the group without the patrol but it still gets agroed eventually and they simply overpower my HB. Also still having touble covering my enchants in time which doesn't help -.-' Is there any special proceedure/tips required to clear this group?
Abedeus
And I still didn't get answer to my post at page 11... Can you post a movie/map how you evade Grawls and those necros with Chillblains?

Not sure but if it gets overhelmed you gotta use protective spirit for heal from dvine favor. If not enought use breeze after

I'm sorry, but I'm new and I wish to know if this build still working and if so, what are the items I need to make it right? Are those items hard to get?
I have Prophecies only (yet) and this monk looks really badass!

Is it possible to redo Defend North Kryta quest? I guess I did it a while ago before I knew about farming the titans in Kryta.
If there is a way, tell me please!

As far as I know, you'd have to kill the lich again with another character. And then farm that quest with that one. But your current guy can not go back and redo a done quest.

That is pretty lame. End game content should be repeatable. What would it hurt?

I think because each time you complete that quest you get like 25.000 exp. It 25.000 exp is too much for a repeatable quest
marfarn
You have to finish all the 'Defend ....' quests vision of glint gives you, then do the first one (Defend Droknars I think?) and you'll get it again.

@Witte was : I have a question. Is this only going to be 55hp/105hp monk only or for each profession ?
Because i know some nice farms for ranger and a good one for monk

silent but true
I am more of a fan of 105 monks, will the SS and SOJ builds/areas still be farmable with the same amount of ease?

Edit: added 2 warriors builds/places. I'm going on holiday tomorrow morning for 5 weeks so I won't be online for a very long time. I'll try to find some place with internet on my holiday to keep in contact with you guys. Enjoy!

At jason,
if you're having trouble getting your HB overpowered, what i've done is just make sure i have insidious always on something, preferably a warrior that is always attacking me. and i keep vigourous up also and attack whatever i have insidious on. Hope this helps.

I'm back from my holiday, currently I'm busy with some things at home so I kinda quit GW 
Maybe I'll come back someday we'll see about that.

i was bored and tried a bit with my new monk today...
this isn't new nor innovative but very easy and not too slow in hm
Aatxe need 3 rounds of SoJ and Graspings 1-2
That might sound very slow but it's easy and safe as hell.
so for all who can't manage the mo/n build in hm this might be a solutuion

I have just a question, I tried some of the builds proposed here and I realised I didn't drop anything (on 20 monsters, just one pack of 102 golds and some basics loots) and this in every places tried (UW, FoW, Dragon moss, Mino, ...).
Even though, I tried some bosses with a Rt spirit spam, I made nearly 50 bosses in HM, and nothing drops, no green or elite tomes (henchies are gone, I was alone with the boss
) .
I've just stopped GW for my exams, so i don't know if this was a nerfed long ago or, just for me :'(.
If this is normal, that's sad, but if I'm the only one, ...., well that's sad too
poutoux a tous ^^

(I didn't want to make a new topic only for me, so I posted here) you need to "time" you hexes, cast insidious on one foe, SS on the next and wait a few secs until insidious recharges, then cast it on a non hexed foe and put SS on it too, that would give you different times of death for enemies
on another topic, I've benn having troubles on nahpuis quarter, any advice?

SoJ: 5-41 SS can be kept up constantly, without wasting a skill on AEcho.
SS does more damage to fast-attacking HM mobs, given that SoJ causes KD.

Substantial extra damage to overcome a self-heal, an extra healing boost for yourself, a cover hex for SS, and because there's nothing else worth running.
Bosman
but i just relized.. isnt it better to cast SS on diffrent monsters every time for faster killing?
Blobbe Tropper
nope ss spread out to all adjecent foes, so you cast in one group and they are all infected with ss, i think..
really great guide, i was needing the money lol

let's end this for the time being.
SS is a single target spell, meaning it goes on 1 monster per cast, not all monsters in the area. it does damage to all foes adjacent to the foe you cast it on. Yes, reapplying SS on different monsters whenever it recharges is a good idea.
now on to Insidious Parasite, IP for short. it's useful for many reasons: lifesteal means more damage done to a single target, which is useful in a lot of situations, say, groups with healers or melees with self heals. lifesteal also means you get healed whenever they hit you, which is good for hard hitting groups. there is also a myth (true or not, i can't be sure) that killing foes 1 at a time yields a better droprate. IP kills one foe faster than others, so it helps in that case.

but instead of vig spirit/blessed signet isnt ir more effective if i put zealots fire in it for 60 secconds for IP if i cast it it also do damage the whole set monsters so thats more effective right?

zealot fire will make them scatter which = bad for SS...

Key words being from one effect. Far as i know Hm mobs have that inherently, not as a buff they cast.

To Abedeus:
I guess this is a late reply and maybe you already figured it out, but for the azures in Witman's Folly you should start from Port Sledge and go right/SE. Sometimes a small group of maybe 3 grawl will spawn on that corner, but that's it.
