HM Spectral Vaettir (Glacial Stones mainly)

Just one question, why do you have burning there if you use skills that make them lose conditions? Just because you can do something within the 20 sec recharge of both ignore-damage skills and asuring that all the foes will die at the same moment. (for the discussion about getting more drop 1 by 1 or all at same time). And... if I can inflict them burning within 5 secs from Lava font... doesnt matter if I remove the burning condition.. will be reapplied in the casted font or in the next hehe...

This can be done with Archane echo + sliver too, so we dont remove conditions (if needed) but they wont die at the same time.

Again its the point of view.

This isnt related to the type of weapon you use, just bad luck. I do this run often enough and last night I had to bad runs almost back to back wielding my earth staff. One near the start with a worm appearing, knocking me down and casting wurm bile. The second with me almost getting to the next zone with the 3 wurms appear, the green wurm boss and two other wurms. There we have to disagree. I have done this hundreds of times (literally), and on every occasion where I was carrying an axe during the run a wurm spawned, nocked me down and hit me with bile, wheras every run where I have had a staff or wand equipped I have made it safely every single time, even when the wurm spawned it didn't use wurm bile, and used instead a standard degen skill which is easily survivable. So that's every single run with a caster weapons succesfull, every run with an axe a failure. Those odds are way to high to be purely coincidental. I'm not talking about testing on 2 or 3 runs here, I am talking hundreds, across weeks of play. Try it weilding a totem/of enchanting axe some time, I'll lay odds that every time you try it a wurm WILL spawn, will nock you down and WILL kill you with wurm bile. The kind of numbers I am talking about here are 15 failed runs carrying an axe, in a row. Since switching to carrying a staff during the run (about a month ago) I haven't failed a single run, even when I was unlucky and a wurm spawned.

As such, I advise anybody who is having problems on the run between longeye's and Bjora, and who is running with a none caster weapon (sword, axe etc), to try switching to carrying a caster weapon until you get to Bjora Marches.

I did so that so many times, before and after the video. Always going with my caster home-made sword. Sometimes it appears, sometimes not.... it's just random.

Guildies did the same with axes (morrob's skin, I think) and... same. just LUCK

mmmh i can't get. The build work? or an update kill the build? obsidian flesh recharge more slow or something

Men no consigo que funcione, la han capado?. no se da recargado a tiempo carne de obsidiana. Done February 20, first time I tried it. Your post is dated Feb. 13. Still works.

Of course, it stills works. anyone said it didnt?
I just leave that place after farming about 300 glacial stones and that's all .

If anyone cant do this "simple" build farming, just use the videos to learn and/or try 55hp's ones. Or just got to an asylum, or go to watch tv.... whatever.

Maybe the drop has been nerfed a bit actually but .... who knows

So has anyone tried the Melendru's Resilience build in HM? I've been farming here for weeks w/ my Melendru's Resilience build and its working quite well... farmed this past weekend for about 5hrs total and got 47 glacial stones but only 5 gold drops and about 10 purples. I'm working on getting HM as we speak.

Also, I hear people talking about 15 vaettirs in NM - I only seem to be able to spawn 9 of them. I've gone in there maybe 25 times now and every single time, its 9 of them. How do i get 15 in there in HM?

Thanx They will fry you using hexes. Their degen would be greater than your regen :P.
Ele is the best prof to farm there hehe. almost any other casting / ranger prof can farm there but in NM.

And btw, you have a quest enabled or havent done one. You should get about 20 vaettir in NM and 60 (exact) in HM.

Well, they do that in NM too since they're not one of the monsters whose skill set changes in HM.

Fortunately, Ether Feast only works when the target has some energy and since spam the touch skills (2s recharge time on each), I typically only have a lot of energy when I first start attacking. Once my initial pool of energy is gone, I'm using it as fast as I get it so they really can't cast it very often on me... They'd have to time it perfectly to get the max amount by casting it when I was between 3 and 5 energy. As soon as I hit 5 energy, I recast another Vampiric Touch. They only get it maybe once or at most twice before I kill them. Basically, they have a very small window of opportunity to cast it and it only delays the inevitable... Also, since I only attack one at a time for 56 health every second, that 100 or so health they steal is gone as soon as they take it.

Beautiful thing about MR is that it makes you more or less invincible to their attacks... I could stand there w/ a group of up to 7 or 8 lvl 20 vaettirs in NM and they can't kill me no matter how long i stand there. Once I start attacking and stealing 112 health every 2 seconds, I'm invincible to them. I would think if I can stand there invincibly to 7 or 8 NM vaettirs, I can handle 4 to 6 HM vaettirs at a time w/out even attacking. emmm lol?
Yeah and the uber super MR cand handle the acumulated pain too huh? and their attacks......

Seriously, i doub it. If you can go in groups of 4, whatever time you need for em... them multiply it for 15 groups in HM.And do you think that you can aggro em all in groups of 4?
Wanna see a video from you on this, doing it in HM. Then i should bring my ranger there.

With an ele you can tank em all no matters how many you attract. You'r limited only because they flee when they leave their spawn zone. If not, you could tank the 60 at the same time.

I know it, I play as a R/x as main.... MR is pretty good for so many zones but this in HM... will be painfully (and slow).
