farming dwayna's grace
RainwalkerC
hey guys, i've been thinking very hard to try to farm dwayna, ive tried many builds, but so far i've been only successful farming her w/ 2 other heroes... i was hoping if any1 could get me some hints about a solo farming build, dont need details (tho it wont hurt), just some ideas. thx

Well you can solo dwaynas with W/Mo, although u need the henchies/heroes to clear the way then send them back.
The build goes like this:
[card]Distracting Blow[/card][card]Gash[/card][card]Auspicious Parry[/card][card]Riposte[/card][card]Deadly Riposte[/card][card]scourge healing[/card][card]healing signet[/card]
Basicly while the acolyte is in avatar form you use Auspicious Parry+ Riposte to protect yourself, with the ocasionaly deadly riposte. Use healing signet as required and remember that you can use the stances while casting the healing sig.
When the avatar is down immediatly use scourge healing, and gash. Keep riposting.
When the scourge healing ends, you will have something like 5-10 seconds before the acolyte activates the avatar again. Cast healing scourge again.
Then be ready to distracting blow the avatar cast. Keep spamming ripostes+gash. You might still need to distract the avatar cast once more.
Then the acolyte is dead.
Very boring run, if u miscalculate the interrupt (the boss dont uses 2 seconds, more like 1), the fight will take time.
A succesfull run is done in 10 minutes. If you fail it can take 15 or more.
I got 3 dwaynas graces in something like 20 runs.

Just blind her and disable the Avatar with SoH, use Spirit Shackles to drain all her energy so she can't heal, and kill her with Empathy/Mind Wrack. Use Natural Healing to get any damage that goes through.

the mesmer or necro build is the fastest but the trickiest, there is a 55 version that can do it but it takes longer to kill but it is a easy kill

I was wondering... HM or NM for dwayna? or any green farming

I think it can be done as a sin too. When i can im gonna test it
but something with disrupting stab, heal, critical defences, and scourge healing shall do the trick, or spirit shacles..

Critical Defenses, Way of Perfection, and Moebius -> DB *might* do it, although doubtful in Hard Mode.

OKay,Rt can easy down this mob and i try it again and again,use many different build,it is not so interesting use Rt for farm,but it is so easy!

clean the litte mobs what around AoD with your heroes and henc, build sprits as scatter as possible,hex her and kill him....her form will dispel your hex,but we have wanderlust knockdown her....
wait and she will down

wait and she will down Take out earthbind and put in Dissonance. Earthbind does basically nothing (bosses are knocked down 1/2 of the usual time)
The skill missing is [skill]Signet of Humility[/skill], with attribute 6.
Clear the mob, wait for the acolyte to turn back into human form, lay spirits, Humility, painful bond. There's a 1/20 chance aprox. that she'll still be able to use the elite after humility wears off, even under wanderlust+dissonance, but then you just run back and do it again.
I used this a lot while the scythe was an easy sell at 45k. I must have sold at least 10 of them.

I dont see any advantage in HM for green farming.
Only the gold items drop rate was increased, not the greens.

Dervish tome -_-
Oh btw It can't be done with my build in HM. I'm not sure it can be done solo at all, because apparently hard mode bosses also have 1/2 cast time on all skills. She activates her form in about 1/2 second, and the casts touch in 1/4.
Tried it 5 times just now, and failed in every single one.
Btw once she goes into form, she will do nothing but heal until she's at 100% life.

Dont mean to hijack this thread but why isnt it possible to lower the boss HP with hero's/henchies and when low enough, then flag them away.

It is, but if you can solo a boss, is preferable to kill it alone, cause timing can ruining a run, and so the time u saved by killing the boss faster is gone when he dies and the henchies are still in rangr and gets the drops.
I use to sliver bosses that i cant kill alone though, the concept is simple you only need something to survive while henchies are going away and some large spike.
Dwaynas on the other hand heals so fast, that I dunno if you can really gain much time by slivering his life.

No. She heals from 10% to 100% in something like 10 seconds.

Check out those skills, then think how they'd be on attribute 25 for all of them
