[card]Mystic Sandstorm[/card] / [card]Signet of pious light[/card]
Add conviction if you need it to vs eles or warrirors (means jack shit vs assassin enemies)
Or, take out VoS mirage cloak and mystic sandstorm and put
Zealous Vow, Mystic Sweep, Ermites strike (or bow attacks) and perhaps even signet of pious for another attack or enchant.
Using a Zealous weapon, go fight melee types, It will take alot for em to kill you =P Use mystic sandstorm to spike health down for the aoe kill.
Will work with an R/D I guess to with more HP but less strength in the defense.
Highest points would prob be
vital boon mystic reg, Conviction,Vow of Strength,Mirage cloak, Armor of sanctity,Viel of thorns,
Symbiosis changing convictiction for Aura of Thorns I guess.
Top that NAo......you know what im gonna go try that =P

Here is one I was working on to farm the Wind Riders outside of Rata Sum, it works in NM if you can get them to refresh Mental Block before it runs out:
[card]Melandru's Resilience[/card]
Mental Block
"I Am Unstoppable!"
Volley
[card]Winnowing[/card]
"I Am The Strongest!"
give it a go, I can't remember the stats.
It works ok, althought they're not that hard anyway.

The Way Out
Archaic that is childish man... why don't you create something yourself. I don't post for one reason... I get nerfed. I have been nerfed three times already and now it is a running joke in my guild that whatever I do gets nerfed. So, I keep my mouth shut and hope anet isn't glued to my screen. On another note, any farming build I have.... which I now purposely go duo team farming because solo is dying and duo is harder to nerf... reaps me a good hunk of change... which immediately does two things for me...
I get gold and items.
I continue to get gold and items as long as I keep it amongst my guild.
In short, although your "effort" (more like manipulation), to prod the gwg community into helping each other out seems nice (you also call us suspicious... and yes I am Archaic), I wouldn't share anything with a community of random people who would just exploit the effort that I put into the game and not even thank me for it.
Personally, I think you are a guild-hopper, carbon-copy, and lame gamer. Get original. I would have liked to see you post something like an updated team build for Urgoz... where the whole community is active... as opposed to selfish solo farming. Get a life!

I'm not going to flame the idea of this thread, diversity is good. But Archaic, at least post some ideas of your own, this is ridiculous, your saying other peoples builds don't count but haven't posted anything of your own.

Sharing can be nice n that etc, but if you stumble across a really nice build for anything and it just works so well then you wouldn't want it to get nerfed. And IMO everything that passes through Guru or even Wiki will get nerfed sooner or later if it's decent enough... personally i wouldn't wanna risk it. Anyway it's more fun to come up with your own build rather than leech off other people's builds, all about a sense of achievement in the game. It's the only way you'll progress and become a better player

Archaic, ur challenge is valid imo...poo-poo to the flamers...although I do agree that u should have probably posted a build (original, to your specific criteria) to get the thread rolling. People probably wouldn't have been so suspicious. This type of thread is good for those of us who barely have enough time to play the game, let alone test a million different permutations of skillsets. (To the flamers: I know, I know, I have time to post here and not do that, blah blah - it's hard to play GW at work lol) For instance, the riposte/deadly riposte mo/w build is something I've never seen...i'm gonna try it out. See, this post just helped a member of the GW community. None of you would probably want to see any of my noobish attempts at solo-monking without a pre-made build, so I won't bother. Suffice to say, I'll try to get one going eventually - if this thread still exists, I'll post it. Flame on!

your criteria don't allow for the optimal build, but this is one i dug up somewhere, NOT mine, but i've used it before with quite a bit of success.

the build is very flexible, it can fit in hex removal if needed, or anti-spike in the way of spirit bond for high damage groups. it's not the fastest, but you shouldn't be in this thread looking for the fastest builds anyway.

Aimed mostly at the OP:
I am dumber for having read this thread. Your idea is retarded. And just so that you don't think I am randomly flaming, here is why:
I will define farming. Farming is the attempt by a player to maximize the gold/item output for the time invested. Period.
Solo farming is an iteration of this. Same principle, and more difficult to achieve.
This thread requests that people attempt to maximize gold/item output, and removes the most useful skills for doing exactly that.
That means that ALL the remaining builds will be sub-par. You won't be farming fast, and you won't be as effective as the specific builds.
If you want an INEFFICIENT farm - just play any PvE class, and bring your heroes and some henchies. Viola. Instant innefficient farming. You will get a few drops, you won't die much, and you'll kill pretty much anything.
Now that you see how my mind works here is my build submission:
www.pvxwiki.com
Go there. Select any build. Load up any Heros/Henchies. Go play. According to you, this is farming.
We'll just chalk the initial post up to [card]Ignorance[/card]

If you prefer builds for fast money and don't like the idea of this thread:
Why the ---- are you posting in it? Just ignore it - there are plenty of threads for fast money.
Just don't tell ppl. what they have to do or how they should be farming.
Everyone knows 600hp/Smite can make a lot of money - but who still remembers the REAL sick old guides like Witte's Solo Tour, Racthoh's W/N UW or Lambdas Grenths Balance SF farmer?
Money isn't all - Guild Wars is a game and a game should be fun.
If having a challenge isn't fun for you then just don't post in this thread and don't behave like little girls...

Hm so in your opinion farming is browsing on web sites - copying builds and spots from other ppl. ? Weeeeeh l33t farming :O And just to make it sure: This wasn't a personal attack i just hate it when ppl. laugh at others who don't (want to) farm money as fast as themselves and think they're so skilled and pr0 farmers: 99% of them are just copying builds at all... Copying a build isn't anything bad but just hold ur ballz flat... btw: has anyone else noticed that the sentence "don't flame me" seems to attract flamers more than everything else? :/

Finally a person with some sense , this thread is to challange your teeny minds that have gotten used to having all builds there on a silver platter.Because those skills are so "needed" for farming, that is why you can't use these skills in ur submission. To all flamers who say this is for personal gain: What does the OP gain from untested builds, or only tested by a minority? NOTHING! thats what, unless an alliance as huge as LaZy tests the build, ppl won't use it. EDIT: Off-Topic: Archaic where are u in canda?
Friar Khan
I vote for dopefish.
I think this topic should be restarted because this thread is flamebait. The challenge is worth discussing imo but it's too inciting to start out by saying "It's time to stop using the same old carbon copy popular farming builds." Saying this implies that there's something wrong about using effective and standard builds. People get offended and cantankerous when they're judged for their use of effective builds. In the new thread I'd also direct people to this thread if they really want to post about how the challenge is a bad idea. lol

People with sense...
I'm not saying that you CANNOT or SHOULD NOT create builds or be creative. But to post a challenge like this... It bothers me. And that's my sacred right on the internet - to complain about something that bothers me. And - what I said was perfectly legitimate given the OP's criteria. Farming, not using those skills. Ok. 75% of the builds on PVXWIKI meet these criteria. Now, can you meet my criteria? 10k+ an hour, even during non-holiday events. And if you can't, then in MY OPINION, you aren't farming. You are playing PvE and having fun probably, but you aren't farming IN MY OPINION. Probably a lot of the other people who actually spend the time to perfect their chosen farm spot and build would agree. Hell, a killbot on NM can do as well as some of the builds that have been posted. You throw up your defenses all you want: "Dont' squash creativity" "Don't be small minded" "Don't hurt my feelings". If you can't play the game better than a bot that would randomly hit 1 2 3 2 4 3 c space 1 3 5 3 2 c space target item pickup item target item pickup item random time wait on each click bla blah blah. Then you are failing at your own defense! It's not being creative if you post a ridiculous thread, with ridiculous requirements, and leave it up to this archaic guys completely subjective opinion about what is good and what isn't. And yes, half the builds here suck. We all know it. If you want to defend it, go ahead, I'm out. I'm going to go farm with my A/E slightly tweaked build and make 40k an hour for an hour or two, then go have a blast and do some missions or PvP with some friends. If you want to farm all-night with a weak-ass build, go ahead :-). You can even call yourself "Creative" and "Large-minded". Pshhhh.... right. Final Analogy: I am having a hula-hoop building contest. Here are the criteria. Your hoop can only be a half circle. The hoop can be made of anything. Decorate however you want. Glitter, Stars, Markers. Go wild. BE CREATIVE. But, you cannot have a whole hoop, only 180 degrees of hoop. I will decide the winner of the best hoop, and then we can all go out and use them. As a reward for the best hoop, which I will decide, you will get to sit on your own thumb. All right - ready, set, GO! YAY CREATIVITY!

I really laughed about this. You say that you are playing the A/E farming build and really tell something about pressing more than a few buttons? Sry i won't say more about this because it's just too funny. So when Racthoh soloed and dualed Hell's Pre. he wasn't as skilled as you playing with a 100% idiot safe build ? Good to know... Seems we've got a new solo god now... have fun farming 40k/hour (which IS quite acceptable) over and over again while WE have fun and do smth. individual

You wanted something different, here you go. This is a Necro build that uses a different Elite than most farming builds... It's not a great build, and is very limited to where you can use it, but pretty interesting to use. I came up with it awhile back, but just wanted to try it out again... I also made acouple changes or improvements. Only place I have tested it was outside The Marketplace, farming the small groups of Jade Brotherhood Knights. I haven't yet to see anything like it
Profession: N/Me Template Code: OAVDMKxGSKBLBuBxlVVwAmAJBA Equipment: Max armor with any Vigor Rune, 2 Radiant Insigneas, 2 Attunement, and 3 Undertaker's Insigneas. Any One-Handed Weapon with +5 energy and 20% Enchantment wrap, with any offhand for extra energy. Any Staff with 10% Casting, 20% Recharge, +15 energy "Seize the Day" inscription, and 20% Enchant Wrap. Staff is recommended. Attributes: Blood Magic: 12+1+3 (16) Inspiration: 10 Soul Reaping: 8+1 Skill Set: [card]Echo[/card][card]Arcane Echo[/card][card]Unholy Feast[/card][wiki]Mental Block[/wiki][card]Signet of Lost Souls[/card][card]Spirit of Failure[/card][card]Channeling[/card][card]Physical Resistance[/card] For the 4th slot I use "Mental Block" Asuran skill. It helps to block alot of the enemy hits, and constantly refreshes itself... it seems to be the best to use. Of course you would need atleast lvl 3 Asuran Title Rank for it to work good. I am sure it will work without it and can be replaced with something else, but it is recommended... not that anyone would actually try the build or anything Usage: -Approach enemies -Use Physical Resitance, and let energy regain full. -Cast Channeling -Use Spirit of Failure on an enemy to pull group -When enemies are near, cast Mental Block before they hit you. -Cast Arcane Echo, Echo (Elite), Unholy Feast, Echo, Unholy Feast. -Cast Spirit of Failure on a different enemy when charged, shoud only need two enemies hexed with it. -Then let your health get down a bit, and energy regain. -Then use Unholy Feast when needed to heal up -When the enemies are below 50% Health, use Signet of Lost souls as much as possible for extra health and energy -If you time everything right, you should kill the group by time Channeling and Physical Resistance wears off. It is good to let your health get down a bit, and energy gain up some before using another Unholy Feast. This will allow you to time everything just enough to stay alive without any problems with energy or healing/life stealing. Usually use Unholy Feast when your health is at around 50-75%. ================================================== ======== I made alil video just so you can see how it works without tryin it Here is the Video: N/Me Unholy Blood Suckin Bastard (Video) ================================================== ======== Malaguard
Dopefish, I think you misunderstand my post.
I'm not claiming to be a solo-god. Nothing of the sort. I'm stating an opinion that I think this thread is a bogus waste of time, and hoping other players can agree with that. I am not claiming that my A/E build is creative or original. Hell, I farm the most unoriginal places - I read Guru, then try to find the most profitable places and take my A/E there. Riven Earth Raptors. I kill Broodmother + 25-30 raptors in about 3 minutes, pick-up, resign, go again. I solo farm other bosses to supplement - all bosses I read about on pvxwiki with how to sliver-farm web-pages. Solo god? No. Effective farming? Sure. Best farming? Nah. When I mentioned the bot - I'm saying that the MOST basic killbot program with a Derv scythe attack spammer can probably outkill a lot of the builds on this thread. My comparison was to point out that if you cannot farm better than a Derv Scythe Kill-bot, then you probably are doing something wrong farming. And by removing many of the most useful skills for farming, that's exactly what this thread is suggesting. A derv scythe killbot would not outfarm my A/E. Some of the builds here have been great. I'm saying it's a flawed premise. I'd have been MUCH more interested in a thread that said: Optimizing the Riven Earth Farm. Optimizing the Bergen Hotsprings Farm. Optimizing the UW or FoW farm. And then hear from real farming experts on what they do and how they do it. For the last time I'm out. I've said this before: If you aren't smart enough to understand my posts, then please do NOT try to interpret them. Also - my 40k an hour only lasts for the first 3 or so evenings when I farm. It always drops quickly after that to the "average" 20k. Last thing: The ONLY sustainable farm that will continue to hold value will be the ecto/shards farm. The ecto sinks in the game are huge. Everything else will become saturated, ectos (collectible drops) aren't affected by farm code, and will always be in demand.

I like the idea of this thread. A shame alot of people jump on the first opportunity to pick a fight here in guru. Posting this I'm probably gonna get my fair share. Seems all threads have flamers and trolls in them these days.
Anyway on topic with a few questions. Is this contest still running? Reading it all, I seem to get mixed messages. Also the requirements seem a little "loose". No word about if it's only solo builds or if duo builds are acceptable either. What are we supposed to farm? UW? Just asking.
