330hp Rt/Mo Vengeful Spirit Bonder -Quick HM Farming!
Fuzzy Taco
hey ReZZDoGG, got one quick tip for you:
i know how you like to farm issnur isles, but why salvage all that merch food when you can do what it's made for.... merch it?
there is a merchant in issnur isles in the little town to the immediate left of kodlunu hamlet. (i farm issnur all the time on my necro, SV + Necrosis spam can nuke bug healers.) he/she also sells ID kits, so if you run out, you can replenish. anyway, hope that helps the isles cash flow a bit.

I wonder if I hit some sort of lag period and on my screen Protective Spirit shows its up, but on the server side maybe it runs out. I usually try to recast it 5-10 seconds before it runs out just in case, but sometimes I still die. Nevertheless the rez shrine is really close and the DP goes away as soon as you hop back in there and kill a few sins anyway.
Awesome build! Great Job!
If you didn't know... Assassin's get alot of Double Strikes, and in Hm they attacking faster... so Spirit Bond don't last long with them. Make sure to use Spirit Bond just before u take any hits when approaching them, then use VwK soon as they start attacking. They should go down with one VwK, unless there is 4 in a group. You should have no problems with sins, just make sure if you use VwK before Spirit Bond runs when aggro'n groups. It only takes acouple seconds for Spirit Bond to run out with sins in HM... if you have to recast Spirit Bond soon as its recharged, and keep doing than until VwK is charged. Then cast a fresh Spirit Bond, then hit VwK quickly.

Well I used to farm there. But only did the run a few times total... I knew there was a merchant there, but I didn't want to run to him everytime my bags were full. Would make the run alot longer than it already is... Plus I'm not so worried about money :P I was just trying to get some gold drops, and sunspear points. And salvaging can make you some money if you get alot of steel... i've done this alot, and I got four 250 stacks of steel over all the farming I did while salvaging. But I only salvage when the farming is long, and drop alot of stuff that I can't hold... then I just make more room to stay out there longer. I keep the gold items to sell or to merch them. I also used to have a char full of stacks of materials including Cloth, Wood, Dust, Iron, Tanned Hide... I used to sell them and make a decent amount of money back. But then again, as I said, I'm not tryin to get the most money out of the run... I got more money than I can spend. And I really don't spend it on anything unless I really need it.
If people do wan't the most money out off the Issnur's run, you can run back and fourth to merchant to get the most profit. It's a long run, and alot of drops... merch them all and you can make a lil chunk of change.

So far, it seems like there's none, but it's only a matter of time until someone finds a farming spot in EotN.

@NJudson:
SoA + VwK is imba if you are having troubles with aggros, just like hp tanking, use spirit bond before VwK, when it ends cast VwK and SoA, then spirit bond and VwK Etc ... You can aggro as many mobs as u want and even if u dont have dmg reversal it is still faster to aggro more mobs.
EDIT: Doh, im stone, u explained what i wanted to mean ReezDoGG

You don't need to use SoA with VwK active... hit Spirit Bond a second before VwK ends, then quickly hit SoA to take some pressure off of Spirit Bond. Then just before SoA ends, hit another Spirit Bond, and VwK should be ready. Make sure to always cast a fresh Spirit Bond just before casting VwK, So you don't take any damage that might kill you while casting. I have taken groups of up to 15 without SoA, and all i had to do was spam Spirit Bond... soon as it was recharged I hit it again, and you can do this over and over until VwK is ready, then hit Spirit Bond, then VwK quickly. But thats only because I accidently aggro'd more than I wanted to... SoA is recommended if you want to take on bigger groups than normally.

I don't think so. There's no "outside" of Ring of Fire. You get there by traveling on a ship, so why would there be a portal to go just outside?
It's in the beginning of the mission, I believe. Yes, with infused armor equipped, just hit the Enter Mission button, and voila, you have Jade Hammers in front of you. Mursaat Hammers are quite rare and expensive, so it will take a while until you get one, but don't give up.

In HM do you have enough time after the Mursaat group have gone to aggro the Jade's and run to the 'safe' spot?
Considering you have no running move the time frame would be tight to make it! I haven't yet tried it but if you say it can be done so be it!

Only difference is, it's with an Ele, and uses prot spirit and Stoneflesh to reduce damage to zero. According to the OP of that video, as soon as the Mursaat move, you gotta go to!
Click here.
Hopefully the OP of that video's reading, since that guy's also got an account on Guru for quite a long time.
Just learn from how he moves around to the "safe area" and you should be alright.

No, he's not trying to be cool, and if you read the dialogue carefully, he's teaching you a little bit about aggro control.
I've sometimes hard trouble with that two, but what I normally do is, stick right next to where Togo is. Most of the time they'll change targets. Hope that helps.

This build is great <.< I need locations to farm though q.q
isn't there like some bugs or something in skyway?
All i been doing is stalking nephilias and the termites on plains of jargin. 1 gold and 3 lockpicks in 3 runs.... thats still awesome since it takes about 5 minutes each time.
But yeah... they just kill themselves in seconds... it's unreal. I need to go beat tyria again so I can do super fast mino and hydra runs.
Any other locations I should know? Note i do have factions beat on this rit.

And Chests are no joke about most of the time i got a Gold from the chest. So and pulling out 1-5k a run. i cant conplain. you can go from Kinya Province to Tusami Village taking it 5K+.

Hey, any hints dealing with the Dying Nightmares in HM? I've been trying hard, but I'm having alot of trouble handling them, even running behind Benton.
Do I need to kill 3 groups of Aatxes or only the one in the route to smites?

Do I need to kill 3 groups of Aatxes or only the one in the route to smites? Use NPC to body the blades... when your enchants get stripped, quickly cast Prot Spirit and VwK to kill dying nightmare. After you killed it, just recast all enchants and get ready to kill the blades. After you taken out the two groups of blades on stairs, move on and scan the other areas for Nightmare's without aggro'n Blades. When dealing with the blades without a body block, just pull them to a point or line where they turn around, which aint very far from where they normally stand. Mark the point where they usually turn around, and you can easily take acouple steps forward or backward to get them to come to you, or run away from you.... this way, incase you get something interrupted, you can simply take acouple steps back to lose aggro and be safe as you need to be to get ready to go in again. This will also work if a Nightmare Pops up after pulling a group of Blades. Just run until Blades turn around, get stripped, and immediately cast Prot Spirit, then kill with VwK. Best way I can explain it... other than that, you will eventually figure it out.

I've got only factions and nightfall. What's the best skill to replace RoD in farming UW?
EDIT: Where I can farm with just Factions and Nightfall? Just UW? Are sins impossible, becouse I can't get this quest in Cavalon?

There are better things to farm. But you can farm the Mino's outside Ice Tooth Cave...possible to kill them. Just don't pull huge groups, as they will scatter from AoE and go heal themselves. Take on around 3-4 at time...

I keep getting pwn3d by the blades. They interrupt my casting vwk or ps and its gg. =/ blew way too much money trying to learn it.
ahbuh
you can drawing out the interrupts by casting bals spirit, essence bond, or retribution, then cast what you need too.

I tried this area a long time ago and it didn't seem any more special than other areas. So then I read your post and thought I'd give it another go and the only thing significant I got was a black dye . Other than that I got no golds or anything cool. I've recently got Nightfall so eventually I'll get my Rit there and try some of the cool places there.
I'd just like to state again that this build is great. Now that I have Nightfall it is going to take a lot of money to get all my characters into it and get the skills and stuff I want/need.

I'd just like to state again that this build is great. Now that I have Nightfall it is going to take a lot of money to get all my characters into it and get the skills and stuff I want/need. Almost all areas in HM are good. Just depends if your lucky enough to catch a hot time for gold drops in that specific area. If you farm one place enough, you will eventually catch a hot time, and see the potential in the amount of gold drops you can get in one run. More you farm, the more you can find these good areas. Or, pick out your favorites. I used to change areas alot until I find a spot that drops me acouple golds, then I will stay there until I don't get anymore, or many in a certain amount of time.... then move on until you find another. If you do this, you will find yourself getting plenty of golds and money. I have ID'd 550 gold unids from doing this... on top of the occasional locked chest of course. But most came from drops alone.

Man, I must be retarded.. I just can't get the hang of this with my rit.
Spirit Bond never seem to trigger so I keep dying.
I've used a Spirit Bond build with my monk quite a bit without any troubles
but this.. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong.

You aren't suppose to cast it while you have another one up, since there's a glitch where Spirit Bond does absolutely nothing for the duration. It does take a little getting use to, and since the foes (Especially the Luxon Assassins) attack faster, you get killed a lot faster than in Normal Mode if you screw up.

Make sure you are farming in HM too. Normal mode don't trigger Spirit Bond as much... especially with wand damage. And don't renew Spirit Bond until after it has worn off. It does take some getting use to... the bug in the spell pretty much sux, but its fairly easy to work with.
