Profession:A/Mo
Name:1hp sin
Type:PvE
Category:Tank/Damage
Attributes:11 prot 8 healing 11+3+1 dagger mastery
equipment:Shrouded Shing jea armor is best take 5 superior runes and Zealous *blank* daggers of enchanting with either +15% while enchanted +5 energy or 15^50.
Skills:
1-jagged strike
2-wild strike
3-death blossom
4-mending
5-watchful spirit
6-protective spirit
7-Life Sheath(elite)
8-Balthazars Spirit

Notes: Die twice to get 1 hp cast balthazars spirit then mending when u spawn. unequip your zealous daggers, wait for near full energy then use watchful spirit and wait until u have 15 energy get out of enemies aggro circle cast protective spirit then life sheath.Continue spamming dagger chain combo.watchful spirit can be replaced with healing breeze in areas with more degen.Fighting single bosses just die once and bring a 3 healing prayers mending.In areas where there is no health degeneration such as trolls replace mending and watchful spirit with golden lotus strike and essence bond.Still finding more variants to the build.A good place to practice at is the Nephilas in Hard mode by Sunspear Great Hall.In areas with large mobs use life sheath nearly every chance.

So I was helping a guildy cap Ineptitude and I needed Shield of Judgment
I knew I was going to die more than twice so i tryed this to see if it would work and to my surprise it did.I found out I could farm many things including
trolls,skale,can do parts of FoW with a partner that has rebirth and res chant
sskai but it takes a while and u dont need life sheath just a dif elite and take the blessings from the priest or use +2 mending and die once.Buhbals grasp
and even though u have to die for it to work right I think its worth it to get some cash from lots of monsters and the build has NO problem or shouldnt have any with avicara.Still working on variants and an UW solo one...well im new to the guru and ill be posting dif builds.hope you have fun with this(I know I will.)Oh and I almost forgot to say for FoW u need healing breeze and mending mending is cover enchant heh...and the wars take a while but a necro can help...some ppl may think a/e is better... but not for golds heh....

I'm not so sure why Life Sheath is need, you mentioned you could replace it in certain cases, Moebius strike would be a good option.

The reason life sheath is needed is cause if u just have protective spirit on u die in 1 hit at 1 hp and yeah I used moebius strike on sskai and a monk boss by blacktide den but it was after I posted the build.So life sheath reduces the damage to 0 for the next say 126 hits at like 12 prot prayers that give u time to cast it again in the event that ur fighting a large mob.... p.s. and if ur wondering what my avatar is its my favorite japanese band...yeah lol

Ah yes, Well I've never seen prot spirit at 1HP, so wasn't sure of how it worked. So Prot spirit makes all damage only 1 (Which would kill you) And LS neutralises th next +126 (Or whatever) Damage, so you can take that may attacks. But in that case, is mending really needed if your taking 0 damage, or is that to counter degen.

yeah mending is to counter some form of degen such as when fighting buhbal mending + watchful spirit or if ur facing opponents that use bleed and another variant besides jagged strike is desperate strike if ur fighting foes with deep wound since desperate strike is 82% below and deep wound is 80%.oh and like i said mending can be switch out for areas with no degen such as trolls... but another factor is the recovery of dp vs ur hp so it will be able to take only so many foes before having to die again =(

The efficiency is based on its recharge time and how many people you are facing right? [skill]Life Sheath[/skill]

Hehe, it is quite a good idea. But it sounds very limited on a primary assassin. Since the moment they surpass your +5 regen you die instantly I'd definatly agree with D/Mo Mystic Regen version, you could get alot more regen so could potential farm very hex heavy areas too.

yeah its limited to how many ppl u are facing and recharge. Derv one does sound better maybe a colossal scimitar farmer. I tryed one using lyssas assault mystic sweep eremites strike and heart of fury mystic regen life sheath essence bond probly just needs condition removal.But yeah if ur facing knock downs u just slap on fleeting stability.

Could this work in PvP? As long as you're lucky enough not to meet much enchant-removal, you're basically invincible.

only thing that can kill it is life stealing from a necro which is kind of common too much degen common again interrupts common so i dont think it would work out unless ur fighting mostly sins and wars.If u did do pvp u have to be resd once or twice and another thing that can beat it is e-denial and like u said enchant removal which is common. :\

This seems to be a new 55 variant, which can be suited to any profession. Just like the 55 it is easily killed by many thinks like what Assassin just stated, but in the right places it can be invincible. Still a very nice find.

Also 55 doesn't require DP. You can't farm UW solo with this.

Yeah but this build is made to farm things in hard mode that a 55 cant since they would die very fast unless they didnt have nf to get shield of absorbtion this is an alternative to those that dont have nf since it doesnt use any nf skills if u dont have prophecies either u can use golden lotus strike and critical strike(dual attack) for energy management instead of essence bond or balth spirit bond or u can take healing breeze but it would remove some dmg potential since u need to recast. yeah when I said uw solo I didnt mention for a dif proffession. :\

That'd be a little under 16 attacks a second, which you could actually hit depending on how many guys you're fighting and what profession they are.

Still, nice build.

Random thought: A Ranger primary (instead of Assassin) with an attack-avoidance stance could double the potential duration / number of enemies farmable.... right?

Equipment: 55 armor set, Totem Axe (or equivalent), -50 hp grim cesta

Fire Magic-16 (12+3+1)
Energy Storage-9 (6+3)
Protection Prayers-11

Protective Spirit
Life Sheath (E)
Balthazar's Spirit
Meteor Shower
Bed of Coals
Lava Font
Inferno
Flame Djinn's Haste

this is a pretty quick kill build. on the minos in anvil, you can usually get off a full round of nukes before they break aggro, which is convenient because life sheath and prot spirit run out at just about that time. after they come back, one good flame burst should be enough to finish them. the recharge of MS can be a pain sometimes, but i really can't complain. im still trying to figure out why i can't kill the centaurs, so any thoughts on that would be nice. ultimately, i'd say there are better things to farm with this build that you can kill much faster and more efficiently. for instance, this build also works on the trolls outside drok's very efficiently, especially since it's easy to get to 1hp there.

this also works relatively well for the minos in elona. just bring tahlkora with rebirth+rez chant. die at the trap in front of the starting gate, have her rebirth you then rez you, repeat, then flag her back. dive into the horde of minos below the ledge and have fun.
this whole 1hp concept is very nice for eles. whereas a shadow form ele would have more versatility in what it could farm, the 1hp makes farming easier and safer. you can seriously sit there and tank forever, giving rise to new possiblities for DoA tanks (provided you pack a monk with SB, you would be basically invinsible). amazing find!

oh, and stoneflesh aura 55ing doesn't work. trust me. ><

EDIT: does winter screw this build over? i think this may be the reason i can't kill the centaurs. can anyone confirm this?

EDIT 2: is life sheath bugged? it often seems like i get jipped out of a cast. i will throw up life sheath and prot spirit (and both will go up, according to the duration bars), but in two seconds i'll randomly die. there's no way 5 trolls can hit 118 times in 3 seconds...

has someone actually tried this? because, as far as i remember, life sheat does NOT stack with prot spirit. this means, you will still take the original damage and ps would not change it at all, meaning life sheath would run out in very few hits. at least it was like this ages ago..and i cba testing this myself with a pvp char. >->

But in that case, is mending really needed if your taking 0 damage, or is that to counter degen. yes, prot spirit's description is you cannot take more than 10% of max health, sorry if someone alraedy pointed taht out but im too lazy to look at all these posts

Sounds like a rad plan, for say boss farming... but farming groups upon groups would not be effecient as you'd need to keep dying to get the DP back again...

The terra tank is a tricky build, but once you get used to it it's magic!!! GL with it

Seems limited as you won't beable to solo farm any missions, or UW unless you had a friend with ya. Good idea anyways. Also, would take awhile to kill monsters 1 by 1
