Anyone know any good builds?

Im pretty sure theres a 2k cap per/day. Didn't find anything on wiki (even though I didnt look to hard), but Im pretty sure theres a cap somewhere around 2k.

ty Z-Challenge is 2k a day, Z-Elite is 6k a day. As for the Z-Elite farming set up:

But you need to be a mesmer yourself. Try making a PvP?

Most people actually trap Zaishen Elite. Just smack on a few traps + frozen soil, with full points in wilderness survival and expertise, and your set. There is usually plenty of people trapping in the American districts, so it's not too hard to find a group. Just look for anyone that is a ranger. Good luck!

There is a PvXWiki build in testing that works really well for me
http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:Te...e/Zaishen_Farm

I cant see why you couldnt micro a ranger hero to do the traps for you (just Zaishen challenge farm for the skills, max 3-4 days if you need all of them) then you nuke with the other ele heroes.

I can happily farm 6k Balth faction every day with that (I am a ranger though)

Soloing the Zaishen is generally a bad idea because you will not get the extra faction for flawless

Soloing Zaishen is needless.

I'd close this, but then again I might as well just leave it open.

4 man trap

i used to do it when you could get champion points for that arena...

and then Anet had the cheek to call that an "exploit" :P

just tried it out, it's good for those who want to get faction for skill unlocks, but pointless for those hardcore PVPers

I go as necro and take 3 warrior heros,, each of the heroes has, Splinter Weapon, Hundred Blades and dragon slash....

I take Mark of pain...

I always fight the IWAY team and as they get close i force all heroes to cast splinter then I call Mark of Pain on the closest warrior.... they all drop in less than 2-3 seconds

Just a quick note the OP does say "I'm talking about the one that gives 5k balth once a day."

slightly off as its 6k but its definitely Zaishen Elite they are talking about.

Definitely agree with Mr Kotte, id never be where i am now with my chars if it wasnt for Balth faction for my hero skills, I cant begin to imagine how much time/money i would have had to spend unlocking them otherwise.

Thank you for the builds. Need some new skills for my heroes.

And it's always great for Zaishen keys.

Hmmm, I will have to give that go.... I thought of it working on them, but never tested it.
