New IDS / FoW Farm Build
MalfoyLucius
GW:EN has brought a new glyph to Guild Wars, so we dont need Ranger anymore for these two farm spots.
Here is the new build:
With the new glyph we can recharge Obsidian Flesh so fast, that we can have Obsidian Flesh constantly on us.
We dont need Ranger anymore, so we can take Mantra Of Earth with us, and now we have full energy all the time.
You need a weapon with enchantments + 20%.
Have Fun and Good Luck!
(and sorry for my really bad english...)
Bye,
Lucius

Don't feel no pain, can I get some of your epic loot?
I'm a poor man..
lol, good eye. Gonna quit putting off capping obsidian flesh and go do that now, just cuz.
wonder if it works in FoW?

which route to the cave is the easiest? can someone post the route to the cave?
Build works in FoW beach, but you needed Troll to tank the poison from the cave spiders, so you can only do beach with this build. IMO E/R build would work better for FoW.

It doesn't really matter since they can't cast hexes on you.
Senrath
No hexes, yeah, but plenty of poison, etc.

TBH bottom way, but i have been having trouble with the tundra giants and the occasional ele boss spawn on the tight part
I may try 1 or 2 runs on the top

well i get bored, i just farm, make sure it works, post and then move onto something else =], but i have spent over 180k since the realease of gwen, i'll get it back, but im still poor lol
The.D0pefish
worked for me too.
I did a fow run in HM with my mesmer and a NM IDS run
Well FoW is a bit risky with a mesmer because you have about 0,5 secs without Obsidian Flesh.
But with 8-10 Fast casting you shouldn't get interrupted and have casted obsidian flesh right before the mobs have casted anything
the run isn't very hard...
i just took a skill with me to break hexes in case i get a lot of degen.
With stoneflesh you will get 0 dmg almost all the run

Major Step up from the Ele/Ranger Now i can finally have a skill that can prevent interrupts and have perma obsidian Flesh, Haven't gotten EotN so im stuck with ele/ranger IDS farming but atleast its doable.
Arkantos
Great build. I'm sure there are alot of places this build can farm.

Is the IDS run done in normal or hard mode with this build?

I'm guessing NM since you'll have a hard time outrunning everything
??Ripskin
It doesn't matter, ids drop the same, so nm.
The Mancer Man
Do you take Henchies/heroes with you on the IDS run with this build and fight your way to the ice caves.
Seems that running you bleed to death
Please asisst with some advice!

even if u run there nd die wich i did for my first run ever, u still fite the imps nd take no dmg so health is not the major issue: also swich to ur armor with no sup runes so u get more hp to run all the way there. btw wen u run dou put on stoneflsh aura? cuz that helps me
ps any skill thats better to use instead of stone daggers?

Earth doesn't have much direct damage besides Stone Daggers. Short recharge and low energy cost makes it spammable damage. Obsidian flame would be nice except for the exhaustion, so meh. Since your build is an infinite energy engine, you can cast it almost nonstop. The real damage comes from Sliver Armor, which you should be recharging with Glyph anyway. I suggest a Totem Axe or similar weapon, because then you can lock onto a target and stay in melee range to guarantee Sliver does the most damage.

Nice build. urm.... is IDS even worth farming anymore tho?
??Ripskin
15k a pop plus drops
Yeah
Yeah
The Mancer Man
Just did the IDS run!!!
So easy!!!! - no dmg at all! Got an IDS also - so worthwhile build for sure.
What is the drop rate per run?
The run is just sooooo loooooooong!

And the FoW is really baaaad with this build. Better take E/A to clear solo beach.
underboss
This sounds like an awesome build. Can't wait to try it!
However, just to be clear, you can still get interrupted from physical attacks, such as Savage Shot or Distracting chop, etc. so I'm think anywhere with lots of casters would be ideal place to farm.

Keep in mind that your not safe from Aoe Spells that target the actual caster

@Dont feel no pain

If you take henchies do is affect your drops?

The Mancer Man
So me the 'run' on video - I just cannot see how you can get there without having enchancements stripped and getting owned!
dont feel no pain
Just go
storm djinn haste - stone flesh aura = for normal groups
or
Storm Djinn haste - stone flesh aura - sliver armor (cover) for groups with avicara guiles
tundra gaints can be a problem XD JUST KEEP RUNNING and hope then dont keep pwnding you untill stoneflesh aura ends
few pics:
When you get a bad spawn XD

When did Arcane Echo enter the build?
okashii
getting there is soo annoying -_-" I hate those tundra giants
note: why 12 points in air magic ? I use 6 and it enough, rest of the points I use for better dmg reduction from mantra of earth (11 inspiration)
if you have problems with bleeding+Life Siphon, switch to a +60hp staff and take off some sup. runes
and do use sliver armor as cover enchantment against bird mesmers

I find the run one of chance! If the spawn is not in your favour game over! If any giants are in the narrow passage part then it is also very diificult.
Although fighting there is also a real pain and takes forever you do get there!

Is the Signet of Swiftness to be used on both Obsidian Flesh AND Sliver Armor?
