Your mission...(farming challenge)
Roshi_ikkyu
..if you choose to be bothered is to create a farming build for a certain area!
Kinda like a challenge, I'll even reward a prize for the farming communitys most fav build in the selected area!
The prize: A mini-pig!
The first selected area is Nolani Academy (Mission), you are to create a build that can solo in Hard mode.
For this area alone, due to the nature of the mission we'll focus on opening the gates and mass farming the rushing charr.
Rules
Must be solo (In the event no solo build is found a 2man build will be considered)
Must be Hard mode, due to drops in the normal mode low area being worthless.
Any class, with and secondary is welcomed.
Must meet a min 85% survival rate, no 10% survive 90% die rate builds!
Happy hunting

Welll someone hasn't actually been there!
please resist from posting the first cookie-cutter build you can think of.
zwei2stein, that build gets pwned there, try researching first next time.
your suggestion is wrong, no mini-pig for you!

No if I was a farming noob I would be farming undead out side the hot springs.
I was trying to add flare to a challenge, thats why I picked the area (not because of any specific loot or special items), and because of the challenge involved.
So Dogman Blutlust, post a screen shot of your completed Hard mode run, and your build is incomplete, otherwise I'll assume its another cookie-cutter know-all knee-jerk post. And is that shiver armour or sliver armour?
I assume you countered the knockdowns somehow, it is possible with an earth-ele.

if you want
cast your maintained enchants run to the switch and check to see what boss spawned. If it is the necro or monk boss just /resign and try again.
You may get knocked down by meteor shower you can use fleeting stability (or not take it and chance it (like I do)). To avoid them from scattering and killing rurik just stand in the corner by the door. The top build is a more stable build. just remember to watch out for the necro and monk boss.
not in this for the mini-pig so im not going to go post a whole strategy run etc.
If you want to make it a challenge you should pick a harder spot for your next challenge.

Don't find the knockdown very hard, just step out of the MS
Were thinking of a SoA build with Mo/N with SS and IP. No degen there so no need for Mo/D anyway
However with SS the Knockdown will be hard

anyone willing to test this build?
And for the next spot I promise it will be harder, this was a begining so I thought something low where everyone is likely to have or easy to get. But yet still offers a challenge. The knockdowns and different bosses sold me on the idea.

Not part of the rules, but nice try. Hard mode is a must!
no damage tank
W/Rt maybe? i dunno, but it works at other places in hard mode
andrewf netniwk
^ neat idea ,how is the pet surviving,though?
Rainman
because arashi is the rangers beacons most famous build creator and his pet has super powers..
look at the skills plz! gj arashi btw and to roshi : it should work in HM with a few more changes Roshi_ikkyu
It looks sweet, sadly I can't test it. Don't have a ranger.
But if we can get a "Yeah it works" from a few people, he just could win. Don't worry I have a few mini-pigs to give out netniwk

look at the skills plz! I saw he is healing his pet,just didnt think that would be enought to let it survive a whole mob in HM.... andrewf
I take 3-4 @ a time, with Ot Cry my pet take very little damage..
BUT pet management is difficult to master.. Mickey

Glad I wasted your time getting you to reply to my thread. And the before mentioned builds don't all work within the rules of the contest. But feel free to reply with useless comments some more, but you didn't provide any information about your runs or scrn shots to prove its possible so your out of the running for a mini-pig. phool
May I suggest HM fog nightmares as a more interesting challenge for your next competition? These are a bit more interesting, with counters to many typical solo builds - dark aura+touch non-spell skills, mark of subversion allow them to deal with 55s, armour stacking and shadowform builds, grenth's balance makes them tricky for many others. There are a few standard builds which are ok there though they wouldn't be very efficient. I do have a couple of more unusual ones of my own, though ofc I wouldn't enter.

Seriously, NO ONE, unless they missed the holiday, wants a mini pig anymore, they are all over every trader outpost, seriously. Plus, what type of build ARE you looking for? All those builds work, everyone knows it from the Over Charr-itable thread, so why don't you just go there for your build? I think its in the screenshot section. Roshi_ikkyu

Have you read the original post? I've tried some of the mentioned builds in hard mode and they can't beat the various challenges.
The idea of this thread was to add a challenge into farming, hench the rules and the requirements put in place. I have no problems with people searching the forums and using build already posted. The Mini-pig was a bit of a joke but added on purpose. I have about 4 to give out, and didn't want the prize to be something uber for the first challenge. I mean come on it is a low area with easy mobs, they still pose a technical challenge but there for all intent and purposes easy. If you don't want to take part in the challenge you're more then welcome to ignore this thread. But please I must insist you stop trolling this thread. If it isn't constructive or related to the topic I don't see why you should post. But you're more then welcomed to make a valid submission to the contest. Mickey
