:P doh could have told myself XD.
Edit: .... The smiter build won't survive the reversal of damage.... any suggesions on what to switch out the make it more viable?

Thank you for helping my mesmer kill Raptors for cupcakes this weekend! Cupcakes are sweeter when they raise your Asura rank.

How do I "reset" the drops on the raptor farm? Lately I've been getting 1 gold per 2-3 runs. I read something about doing the Snowman dungeon a couple of times , but i don't have all the map pieces , would farming a different spot for about 20-30 mins "reset" the drops of the raptor farm?
Covah
doing a mission or going to another zone for 20 minutes or so resets it.

Where can the monk tank mes smite duo go? I'm presuming UW ?

The Stalker & Skale build works well for the Fog Nightmares as well in the Black Curtain.. dropping lots of Glittering Dust and necro tomes.

Hey Dopefish. First of all, thanks a bunch for all those builds. =)
I've tried plenty of them and most of them work like a charm.
But now I have a question on my mind.
The Dual builds you posted containing the Mesmer Tank+Monk Smiter has the spell breaker skill on the smiter...
now when I am using a hero to play that role... how is he supposed to give me the spell breaker without getting into aggro range?
Well maybe this build just don't fit into a hero?
does anybody has experience with those builds?
Thanks =)

Try to cast SB just at the moment you aggro and then flag the hero back.

Wow, that looks awesome, Dopefish. =)
What skill is the seventh on that skill bar? I don't have it yet.
And what are the attributes for this build?
Greetings,
Mathiu
edit: Oh my... it's ether nightmare. That's happening when you're a Luxon =P

Dopefish it would be awesome if you could show us less experienced hard mode farmers the spots to "trap" the mobs so they can't escape in UW. Also tombs is a piece of cake , clearing the ecto dropping mobs takes me around 2-3 minutes

dont have a mesmer but nice, impressive, great job D0pefish. :3
ikarop
can u post the template for the shadow former one plz? thnx
Also I think that using Intensity instead of Magenitc aura with raptors is safest, you increase a 25% the damage of sliver armor and kill the boss 100% sure.

Hmm, have to do some faction farming, don't have ether nightmare yet. I hope level 1 alligiance is enough. Can you give us some more info on the build and tactics?
How do you deal with the nightmares? dont they rend SF?
Thx for the build, it looks great.

You don't have to interrupt them. If you read carefully SF's description, you'll notice that it can't be shattered/drained/rended with a spell. Signet or PBAoE/Well of Profane, yeah, but not spell.
Mythrill
I just tried the build 3 times. Timing is really nasty to get used to (no timer visible) and its very easy to make a mistake in the SF cycle. and killing the group of Aatxe and Graspings takes forever. Only manage to kill only four Grasping so far and aatxes where hardly damaged.

pongmei valley is adjacent to sardelac sanctarium?
but otherwise nice guide :P

First of all: Great Guide!
I've just restarted GW and created a Mesmer because everyone said it's a challenge. Before that, i'm used to playing a Necro (so i've already used a lot of the 55hp builds ).
That's where i want to comment a tiny part of something you said, concerning Fahranur, The First City and that big group o' skales running around in front of the gate to enter the building:
You said that you haven't tried them yet. Is it because of the interrupts those nasty Ridgeback Skales can do? If that is your concern, well, those in that particular group can't interrupt.
The only thing which gives me doubt is ... energy. Necro's don't usually care much about energy (Soul Reaping ... sigh ... i miss that), at least not me, but with only 1 pip in E-Regen at that time, it can become tricky for a Mesmer. Especially if you have 6+ skales on your back and you need to constantly activate Protective Spirit.
Well, just a thought. You can try it out or i will once i hit 20 with the Mesmer.
Greetings.
Edit: Forgot to mention that it's easy to pull groups of the skales in groups of 3.

u might be able to lure them but u can't kill the whole mob at once as they will simply outdmg your healing breeze + ps combo since you will get more than 10 hits at once b4 hb can restore your life up again.

Thanks for this AWESOME guide. Big kisses.
I've tried the Raptor Nestling Farming, and replaced [magnetic aura] by [Mental Block], I think it's easier to manage because it's reapplied every time an enemy strikes you.

Yes,could anyone give more information on how to do the Nahpui Quarter farm?? I don't see how it goes
The.D0pefish
just dodge the ranger attacks by using walls and keep the melees blind.
If you do this the farm is very easy
