Ok guys, Ive been testing this build lately at it works great so far, im a bit nervous about it though, ill explain why later...

Anywho the purpose of this is to see if anyone is interested in it, FoW isnt the most favored solo farming spot so I just wanted to see if anyone is interested before I blow a half hour typing a guide, also if anyone has a similar idea/build or theres a guide out there already. Just making sure.

(The build can solo the entire FoW, with the exception of The Forest of the Wailing Lord - too many interrupts)

I'm very very interested in that actually. In fact, when you make one, msg me and tell me so I don't miss it.

I am also interested. I've been playing around with some 3 hero FoW builds, but I haven't found anything capable of the entire area - seems like when I make a change to get stronger in one area, I lose enough strength in another that I can't do a different part.

The best I've been able to do is tower + shore + spider cave + about 50% of temple of war.

Well of course everyone is interested in the build!

I am having trouble soloing the shadow army at all lately except for the first group to your right that doesnt have a monk

(even when i brought a hero for extra dmg)

SpamWoH owns me

We would all enjoy the build I'm sure...just decide if you want shards prices to decrease even faster.

I havent tested it thoroughly yet, so theres a chance theres something I overlooked, at the very least it can solo the shadow army. Ill test some more, and work on some screenies if its all a go.

The forest is doable actually, its just extremely hard and not worth the risk. The cave will be annoying but not that bad.

Farming solo is for me more than making cash.. it's the fun of the challenge doing it.

So, yes, indeed I'm interested in the guide.

I'm sure interested. Seems nice

And there's no need to post like a huge guide, just post like skills and the hardest places to use it at, that ought to be enough. (no offense witte :P)

Alright guys, ill admit: Im a bit of a lazy ass.

School-Nap-Homework-GW-Sleep, lol. So it might be a few days still. The main thing thats slowing me down is that I want to test this in all of the FoW, in theory it should all be a go, but theory isnt always reality.

If any of you want to help me get this thing out faster, id be willing to take 1 or 2 testers. I need the the whole of FoW tested in and out. If you're intrested please be:

1: Experienced with Terra tanks
2: Competent with a 55
3: Experienced with perma obby flesh (there are some Terra Tanks that don't use this, just making sure)
4: Experienced with & familiar with the FoW, this is definitely the most important. Im a bit of a FoW noob.
5. Able not to go blabbing the build etc. everywhere. If it works everyone will be able to see it, I just want it done right.
6: Able to communicate with me what you've tested and how it went, also very important.

So if you're interested please private message me your "resume" (here on gwguru)

Please dont bother to msg me if you're not up to it, I wont be giving out anything to anyone other than testers. Dont even dream about it if you dont have obby flesh capped

I was thinking something similiar, was gonna start it with all the basic things your average farmer would need, then have a guide for newer farmers at the end of the post with a Message/note of some sort before it so those who dont need it can just skip over.

if everything is well managed, you can't die !!

16 in earth
the rest split between prot and e-storage Its the basic idea.
But this is exactly what I was hoping would not happen.
Now tons of people will go trying that, die a ton trying to figure out usage/complete build.

I discourage anyone from trying it, the build is more complex than that (theres a 2 sec overlap time in which you take dmg that must be taken care of).
Please wait for the guide. Its going to be a rushed guide at this point, but atleast you can get it right the first time.

@ op

don't be a douche...

if you wanted it done right and tested and if you didn't want people to try and guess "your" build, what in the world were you doing posting a "fow solo guide...maybe...anyone want to praise me/jerk me for it?" thread?

It's really too bad that someone guessed your secret, but really, what is it to you? Now you can't be the only one in GW history to think of it? Again, don't be a d-bag...

Edit: And seriously, how long does it actually take to post the build, attributes, weapons, and basic usage against general types of enemies? The guides that no one reads are the ones that explain how to kill every single foe and where to walk, exactly...

The same day I was planning on posting a guide, the game fixed this bug. What problems does this cause? Simple. If you cast stoneflesh before PS, it does (example: 100dmg) 100-33=77. reducing 77 to 10% of max health, leaving you taking dmg = to 10% of your max hp. So prot spirit must be cast before stoneflesh - reduce to 33dmg (if your max hp is 330), -33 (from stoneflesh) = 0 dmg.

The problem occurs is that, prot spirit must always be cast before stoneflesh. So after the first casting of stone is about to run out, you must cast PS before going to recast stoneflesh. This puts prot spirit AFTER stone on your effects bar, leaving

Quote: Since there are people who can't come up with builds theirselves, there's always interest

Anyway, I don't see why you wanna use this build. Just grab armor of earth and you will be taking 0 damage anyway

. You even free up your slot for an actually usefull secondary, instead of trying to be a 55hp monk with constant spellbreaker...

Build failed ->

(example: 100dmg) 100-33=77. reducing 77 to 10% of max health, leaving you taking dmg = to 10% of your max hp. to happen durring the re-cast of stoneflesh (2 seconds).

Since then ive been working a way around this, and in the last day found such an answer (reducing to 55 and simply 55'ing for 2 secs works, but it means you have to split into healing prayers to bring regen, and takes another skill slot, so I avoided this) and it has been working lately, but is diffucult to manage and I wanted it thoroughly tested before making a guide and getting either:

A: OMFG when I get to x part x happens and I die!
B: This build is way too hard to manage!

The reason for the secrecy, is if I gave the build/etc. without a guide people might have trouble figuring it out. It becomes a pain in the ass - believe me, ive been using it. This would cause alot of people to die trying to figure it out, and they'd probably flame me.
1: I didnt want people to waste they're 1k's.
2: I didnt want people to flame me for losing they're 1k's and time.
3: I didnt want people to decide the build wasnt possible and ignore the guide when it did come out.

--Edit--
I wont even address your rude comments.
Doesnt even look like you read or re-read the first post before making those comments.
