New IDS / FoW Farm Build

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

So me the 'run' on video - I just cannot see how you can get there without having enchancements stripped and getting owned!

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!
