yes but dont worry it recharges fast and is bugged (affects +1spell) so even with 6air magic I have no problems

13 Second Duration
22 Second Recharge
11 sec downtime (not bad )





BTW TO PEOPLE ASKING ME BOUT BUILD:

You Could Just Follow The OP's Main Build, Like I Said, I Was Just Testing

Okay guys..

ON the first map, this is annoying me, do I just tank it with obsidian flesh to get to the portal? Or could someone make a map?

Both E/Me and E/R ARE NOT capable of cleaing the Spider Cave, this Build isn't safe against Interrupts from the Spiders and the Degeneration kills tho.

This Build is capable of clearing (in FoW):
- Shadow Army mobs without Monks
- the beach except for the spider cave
- Skeletal mobs without Impalers or Berserkers

IDS and Djinns in Hardmode are also no problem.

Just got my ele the Defend Droknar's Forge quest, so soon I'll be able to farm DNKP in hard mode. Pretty sure this will own most Titans and be faster than 55 Monking.

This can farm a ton of places, and not just the ones mentioned. Especially in Tyria.

For farming areas where you don't have to run, you can bring Ether Feast for a bit of healing if you need it instead of Storm Djinn.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

This build can be used to solo Vermin in Hard Mode. Swap Storm Djinn's Haste for Aura of Restoration and invest more points in Energy Storage and you can clear all vermin including the boss.

Very gg.

Keep your distance from the imps when a troll is in the mob (but make sure u aggro them). The troll will run to you, cast sliver before he gets to you and he will be WTFPWNED by the time he gets there.

It's worth noting that this is still possible if (like an idiot) you forget your Earth Staff of enchanting in your storage, and still have your fire ele nuker staff equipped. Even without the +20% enchant, you can still cast the glyph and ob flesh before they can finish casting maelstrom. You can still get hit with deep freeze and icy spikes, but that's hardly life threatening.

Thank you for the idea. This got me to think a idea on how to get Constant SB on Monk with new Glyph. Nice Build have to test this skill out on other professions.

I can't run this.. I can't get pass the second mob. Life syphon+bleeding kills me pretty quick. I have 405 health... And when I do get passed it I always run into some group with an Icegolem or Mesmer that just cripplies/hexes me and I die. The end.

You dont use ob flesh for the run. I took aura of restoration and use sliver armor as my only damage dealing skill. Doing that means you can heal yourself once you're out of a mobs aggro zone and are suffering from heavy degen. Since the run is the hardest part, and the imps themselves very easy even with just sliver armor....i really dont understand why people dont bring AoR more.

I'm having trouble on the run. I'll put up my enchants (not obi flesh), but I always seem to die around the Giants. I can get them to come down to me but as soon as I start to run for the gap in the rocks they body block me and giant stomp me to death. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Try not to aggro any giants at all at they: KD with boulders and KD with stomp. Toss up stoneflesh when aggroing, nothing else.

would doing this in HM weild better IDS drops?

not the drop rate, but since it's a gold and has varied stats, wouldnt you have a better chance of perfect drops or rarer upgrades on theM?

Im Surpised that 2 runs with 8 henchies can obtain a IDS that fast. I need to try that with my War see if I can Get one that fast.

hey, if you're having a little trouble with the run, try E/MO

with attribs

earth 12+1+3
air 8
energy storage 2+1
healing prayers 10

and the same build exept sone striker and mantra of earth replaced with healing breeze and balthzar's spirit.

try some pve skills like "i am unstoppable" or dwarven stability, but that requires beer. you can also try aura of stability but that dosent last too long. interupts will still probably tick you off though.



EDIT: Oh! I'm so dumb ^^

the northern route has no giants, just avacara and ocasionally some ice imp/golem groups. also the southern route the giants will eventually move into the corner so you can sun by them without trouble.

DOUBLEDIT: storm djinns haste got the nerf stick today. try windborne speed if you deem 33% instead of 25%.

I havent tried this in a while but just make sure you stack as many enchs on top of storm djinns as possible.

Plus the run is still quite workable at 15%DP or 30%, just make sure you keep going and try and get within range of the res shrine, its usually not far from the 1st guile group (although its spawn dependent of course)
