Warrior/Necromancer Minister Cho's Estate HM Farmer

Equipment:

Brute Sword 15^stance, 10% furious, +30Hp
Stalwart Carapace Shield +45hp stance, -2 stance
Radiant Elite Charr Hide Helm of Superior Tactics
Radiant Elite Gladiators Hauberk of Minor Absorption
Radiant Elite Gladiators Gauntlets of Minor Swordsmanship
Radiant Elite Gladiators Leggings of Minor Strength
Radiant Elite Gladiators Boots of Minor Tactics

Skills:

Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Gladiators defense
Bonetti's defense
Shield Stance
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet
Necrotic Traversal

Order of skills:
Hit Deadly riposte about 4 seconds before they attack you and before they hit use gladiators defense and Dolyak, continue to attack and build adrenalin so you can spam both ripostes, as glads runs out use shield stance and continue to use the ripostes. Once shield stance has run out use Bonneti's but don't use and skills in this time, once Bonetti's is almost finished use shield stance once again and use the ripostes until you can use gladiators defense again, repeat until they are dead. Use Healing signet after each fight and only when covered by and of the stances but Bonneti's.

Area of usage:

The areas of usage will be divided up by which gates are opened.

1st gate (with Togo and Yijo):
Just wait until the gate is opened and follow them to the second.

2nd gate (with the 4 Sickened Guards behind) (may need necrotic traversal):
you may be able to aggro the first group here, if you do only one will attack you and when it is at 25% the other will run back to the edge. If you do kill this guard you can then use Necrotic Traversal to get to the other side and save yourself about 10-15 seconds. Finish the cowardly guard and move onto the second group which will be easy if you leave no gaps between stances.

3rd gate (where the tree is) (necrotic traversal needed):
Do not go to the tree but instead run up to the gate near the lost bay and hit necrotic traversal, you will teleport between the tree's and the 2 guards will attack you, kill these and repeat for the other group and the 3 guards on the bridge.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...alot/gw005.jpg

*Once you Teleport through this gate it should not open and there will be a red beacon keep pinging, this way the lost boy will stay and you will not fail the mission by Togo and Yijo.*

4th gate (after the bridge) (necrotic traversal needed):
As you pass through this gate there will be 5 sickened guards in two groups, one group of two will not attack no matter what but the other group will attack after you come close (adjacent), kill these as normal and repeat for the other 3 guards on the hill and the two sets of two guards patrolling.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...alot/gw006.jpg
http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...alot/gw007.jpg


5th gate (afflicted Horror) (necrotic traversal needed)
Before you use necrotic traversal hit deadly riposte and dolyak signet followed by gladiators defense as soon as he gets close, continue to hit him and spam riposte and deadly riposte, he should only be able to hit you a few times but watch out as if he hits whilst your using healing signet he does around 120dmg and once he dies he deals around 200 dmg. Once he is dead keep on going up the hill and there will be 4 more sickened guards to kill.

-Dadao Swords
-Plagueborn Weapons
-Warrior Tomes
-Elite Warrior Tomes
-Bladed Shields
-Dusk Blades (my favorite skin tbh)
-Katanas
-Broadswords
-Hatchets

Cool, though why superior AND Minor tactics? Waste IMO.

Also, how can we have Tyrian skins in Cantha

Berek, but it does happen.
Because the animals that cho imported (Moa's, lynxes, etc..) ARE tyrian.
Also the-red-zealot I can't really see this be time effective o_o but I'll try to see if your claim of 8 minutes is about right.

The animals give nothing, and i just quoted what is on my armor now (elite charr has tactics which stack).

The animals can give things as tomes and event items.

Simmilar to what i used to run to farm them a while back hoping to get a tyrian sickle+bo staff.

tact12+1+1
str+12+1

riposte
deadly riposte
glads defence
bonnetti's
dolyak sig
dwarven stability
heal sig
NT

Rarely need to even use dolyaks as glads defence lasts so long with a good dwarven rank (which is gotten easily just completing each dungeon once)

My average was about 6 mins with that. got a few of the skins i wanted but with sucky mods. Ended up buying my sickle and bo staff here.
It is a good source of warrior tomes however.

I started using it to get myself a max Q9 brute sword and is possible a Dusk Blade, i got my 15^50 brute sword after 2 days but ive only had a Q10 dusk Blade.

Animals are tyrian, but in some odd cases if 2 or more chapter's creatures are mixed up in a map, the drop tables seem to glitch, Hence you getting both versions off of the guards.
There was another example of this, but I can't really recall it =/..

pre, shing jea and istan zones all drop those skins.

...i just quoted what is on my armor now (elite charr has tactics which stack). I'm gonna try this out in a minute, as ~7 runs of 2k in an hour sounds good to me. Just a little more about your runes...

The Tactics+1 on your charr hide helmet IS stacking, since it is part of the helmet. The Superior Tactics rune on your helmet is NON-stacking, as is the minor tactics rune on your boots. Only one non-stacking modifier works at a time. Ditch the minor tactics rune and add a clarity rune instead to reduce blind (or even attunement, since you love energy).
Also, might want to put sup absorption in place of the minor

The build sounds worth a try though, thanks!

Nice discovery and thanks for sharing The drops are rather decent

Bo staffs drop here too, as well as Crude shields (yeah!) and reinforced defenders. Others I don't remember though.

I made a couple of changes when I tried

both riposte
Glad Defence
Heal sig
Consume corpse/Necrotic
Dwarven Stability
Brawling Headbutt --> "On Your Knees!" (recharge Glad Defence)

I've been farming this for quite some time, both N/Mo and W/N.

Gotten quite a few good Serpent Axes, Katanas, Dadao Swords, etc.

I typically run;

Glad's Def
Bonetti's Def
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Dolyak Signet
Endure Pain
Heal Signet
Necrotic traversal

Typically run 16 Tactics and 13 strength

N/Mo is pretty much standard 55. Spoil Victor and Necrosis for dmg, and Necrotic Traversal to hop over the gate.

Fix those Runes, the Sup and Minor Tactics don't stack. Ditch the Minor Tac and stick a Sup Abs in the chest.
Drop the Radiants for Knights and take a Zealous weapon if you need the energy.

I think it's a nice, solid run that will net you some quick cash without much hassle. You don't need optimal gear, you can just take your warrior there and do it - it reminds me Dont Feel No Pain's hydra riposte farmer which got me to see for the first time 100k in my stash. You won't become the richest guy in GW with it, but you will be able to get cash for your skill hunter title/15k armor/etc etc

Template codes for the lazy ones (like me):

Dwarven Stability variant: [build=OQQTEZ6UZSvYwgwguIAIt4uMMAA]

Bonnetti's variant (no pve skills no ranks needed no problem) : [build=OQQTEZ6U5QvDmw0NAplvhBA]

Nice one, i usually get about 3 per run now.
