Eh I've been trying to do the Cathedral build all day but I Can't seem to even kill the first group... I have starter armor, go above 600 hp but I still get killed so easily, especially when SB wears off. Any more details just how to run the build, im obviously doing something horridly wrong.

Have you disabled your hero's maintains, and then put them on yourself?
If you don't disable the maintains, the hero will unmaintain them instantly, which would explain your lack of killing (no [Holy Wrath] and [Retribution] means no damage)
Edit; Just thought I should mention that you should put Retribution on first. While it doesn't make a difference damage wise, [Reversal of Damage] will trigger off Retribution rather than Holy Wrath, dealing less damage to your smiter

Are you in HM?
Are you bonding the smiter accidentally?
Can you 600? (Do you know how to keep up your enchants, etc.?)
Do you/your smiter have the correct attributes?

Do you/your smiter have the correct attributes? 3rd one is my problem probably. Can't seem to find a guide on how to do it, just videos from the smiters view.

Hey on your Putfile, maybe someone can help me here, it had some DoA shots.... Please explain, as i am interested in this.
Edit: Also why does the Nahpui Bonder need [Bane Signet] ? Also i am having trouble taking down the mesmer boss, as he dosent do enough damage to trigger spirit bond, therefore no heals, and all his cronies die before him, so i run out of energy and die
Any tips?

Any tips? You don't kill the bosses on the Nahpui run. They spawn lots of little versions of themselves, which usually will kill your smiter, and they don't drop anything good. They're just a pain in the ass, in general.

The veil pics were from my first ever guide on guru - it was on how to dual the Veil, with a hero, while you still get all the drops. if you search around, i'm sure you'll find the thread.
The Raptor run is tough, i won't lie. you need to practice running, aggroing, and kiling hile maintaining enough health for Rekoff to not kill you with Twisting Jaws. practice makes perfect - i failed all over myself before i finally got the hang of it.

cast all the bonds and tha, then before you aggro a mob cast PS then cast SB, the second SB ends cast it again, most mobs should be dead before PS wears off but if its about to run out cast it again. Basically just makje sure that when you (you being the 600) are under damage spiritbond is always on you and its happy days.

Since they fixed Spirit bond, you don't have to wait for SB to end before you reapply it. With tough groups that will kill you very fast in the short time SB is down, you're better off spamming it.

I've been using this...
[build;OAdTYsz+ZSnxtkNApxFCOYtEuE]
and this...
[build;OAdTYsz+ZSnxtkNAp5MQTYtEuE]
both work in NM and HM, but neither will kill Rekoff Broodmother. It is best to work your way around the cave clockwise, taking them in three separate groups. In addition, if Air of Superiority does not recharge Shadow Form, the run takes a bit longer as you have to wait for health and SF to recharge. But it does work pretty consistently for me.
I use a caster's sword, and a 20/20 curses focus, with a Superior Curses rune on my Curses headpiece, full Radiants, a Superior Vigor, and Attunements on the rest.
Good Luck!
P.S. If you don't like the -2 degen of [Poisoned Heart], swap it for [Viper's Defense]

Thanks for the guide, Taco, a big improvement over your last one, and that's saying something!
It's great that you've included links to your photo gallery, but unfortunately it's hard (or at least time-consuming at best) to search through it to find specific run paths or the like (right now I'm working on the Halcyon Job farm, for example). Is there any way you could post them a bit more visibly?
Edit: Durr, I didn't know it was just the standard mission map run, I thought it was a bit more complicated, thanks.

Hi!
I have a problem with Totem Axe farming. When I'm running towards Reed Bog, devourers pop up and my HP decreases under 100. Then there is a Maguuma mob. With only circa 80 HP they can easily kill me with one or two hits even if I have casted AotL and Dash.
After this I take the path on the right in Reed Bog. I easily can pass the trolls, but then Moss Scarabs come out, I cast Dash and run forward but right after this another group of scarabs pop up and they kill me because at that time I'm low on HP and Dash hasnt recharged yet.
I tried it about 30 times and I miserably failed all the time.
How should I do it properly?

The build i posted for Totem Axe farming is kinda ugly/outdated - what i would recommend is going N/E for Storm Djinn's Haste and applying AotL, Djinn's and Hexer's, in that order, to run through. That way, you can maintain regeneration - just make sure not to cancel Hexer's, or to reapply it if you have the cancel it. After that, it should be a breeze. However, don't let my template bind you - there's a million ways to do that run effectively, including wacky SS builds and N/R bow builds - hell, i'd bet N/D would work too. i'll theorycraft for a little and get back to you on that.

Well i have been trying the build for the glacial stone farm. I cant seem to keep them in a spot so they all die. they all seem to scatter, and i eventually die. Not sure what i am doing wrong, i try to get them to a wall on their left and my right, i think that is what was said. Anyway, i was wondering if someone could be kind enough to show me the trick to kill them. Thanks in advance.

haven' t tried the run since the nerf, but i'd guess that with a high health total (~135, maybe a bit more) and Spirit Bond, you should be able to score kills. The run will most likely be a lot less efficient than it once was, though.
I apologize for not updating the guide through a lot of the skill changes and other updates - I'm just too bored with GW.
On a brighter note, DNKP is now easy as hell since the Lingering Curse update.

Hi, thx for your guide Taco!
I've farmed hydras for a long time, and now I was trying to farm Diviner's Ascent. However I can't hold more than 15 seconds against jade scarabs, chillbains rips my enchantments and they steal life more than making damage, so PS is useless. So, how you can farm them?
Also, I haven't found yet, nor drake bosses nor hydra bosses, where are they? xD
Thx, and happy new year everybody

[Protective [email protected]][Spirit [email protected]][Shield of [email protected]]
The MUST haves of the 600.
You'll want some energy, so [Essence Bond] is nice.
And since you're already speced into Prot (and your smiter is 12/12 for Smiting and Divine) you'll be the one running [Life [email protected]] and [Vital [email protected]]
That leaves you with 2 skill slots, and a huge amount of attributes.
What your elite is depends on your area. [Reaper's [email protected]] [Spiteful [email protected]] [Lingering [email protected]] [Soul [email protected]] [Icy [email protected]] [Wail of [email protected]] are some good choices just off the top of my head. With your last skill slot, bring something to add to your elite ([[email protected]] is always cool) or something to make up for what your elite doesn't have (Some anti-healing if you need to, or a cover hex.)
You can't farm areas with a lot of healing, a lot of enchantment removal, or a lot of damage that goes under spirit bond.
Just try places out. Easiest way to see if it works.
But to keep you busy, all of Vabbi can be vanq'd with a 600 necro.

[Balthazar's Spirit] >>>> [Essence Bond] if you are self targeting. BS triggers on zero damage, while EB does not.
Of course, with [[Shield of Absorption] to negate damage, either one works.

Very yes.
However, as a necro 600, your smiter (who is tied to 12 smite 12 divine in most areas) has few options for maintains, so you can almost always have both on you.

Thanks to everyone who helped in making this guild it was really helpful for me since I just started playing gw and I know nothing about efficient farming and stuff.
But I have a few questions /noob questions/ :
I have problems getting these skills :
Insidious Parasite
Spiteful Spirit
Essence Bond
Since I started my hero in the Factions campaign I have no idea how to get to Talus Chute or Snake Dance for example to get SS. I can already travel to Lion's Arch but I have no idea how to get to Shiverpeak Mountains(to get ss). I also have no idea how to get to any of the trainers who teach Essence Bond. =[ And how can I go to Yak's Bend to get Insidious Parasite ? It would've been so much easier if I had started my hero in the prophecies campaign. Or if you just tell me the easiest ways to get the skills. Help please 
If you guide me in any way how to get to these places I'd by really thankful.

The normal way is to do missions starting at Lion's Arch. D'Alessio is right outside LA.
If you want to just skip, then you can run from LA to Yak's, then map back to Beacon's Perch and get a run there to Droknar's Forge(2K?).
Or, you can just get 5K Balthazar faction, unlock them, and use tomes.
