Using a grail would not be cost effective, would it?

Clearing lots of uw usually makes up for 5, when using 1.

Ok,
Tryed Urgoz. We got a fair way through but took ages and isnt really worthwhile.
IDS is easy, as it always has been, got mine on 2nd kill of 1st run then gave up cos I only wanted to test the build

I use [Elemental lord] instead of [Glyph of elemental power] that was you can have [glyph of swiftness] effect [Sliver armor] also, faster recharge on SA is always good

What's there to come out? I think people like 5 hours after buffs were announced noticed the Glyph of Swiftness + DP + Shadow Form megalolwtfsynergy. Although most of them hoped E/A can maintain it too, but it turned out that at 12 shadow arts it's only 25 seconds. Enough for Mesmers and Assassin's to maintain, not enough for Elementalists.

You can still use Glyph of Swiftness for Sliver Armor while SF still has long recharge, just make sure Glyph is recharged by time you renew SF. Its good to keep Glyph of Lesser energy, it can keep you energy flowing nicely even if you get below 10 energy at times... can still manage to get your energy full from regen. Cast Glyph of Swiftness about 8-10 seconds before you use Shadowform... after Shadowform use Glyph of Lesser Energy, then Ebon Battle Standard of Honor, then Glyph of Swiftness again, then hit Sliver, then Air of Superiority. Just don't do it all the time, as it can use up 5 more energy... plus you sometimes get recharge on Sliver anyways from Air of Superiority. 10 second recharge on Glyph of Swiftness gives you plenty of time to use it for Sliver while SF is recharging...

personally, I mainly use Sliver Form for Elite Tome farming and for that E/A with 18 Earth and 12 Shadow is more then enough to farm any boss. I suppose perma SF is better for farming mobs like raptors and the like, but if you just want to take out a boss E/A is still fine, in fact it might be a little bit better.
One thing I didn't know which I have to thanks this thread for, is the Vanguard Battle Standard. That works much better then Intensity...shame my ele hasn't gotten beyond the Eye though and farming's Vanguard Rep is a pain.

E/A=18 Earth, More energy (slightly), permaform with grail=even better than A/E

Tried this on chaos plains and it worked a treat just took ages to clear the plains. Is there a quicker set of damage dealing skills that can be used for clearing the plains?
Thanks

Farming's purpose is income. If you're using consumables then your income is 'slightly' decreased.

The rune trader in kamadan don't got superior shadow arts.
Weird.
Is this just for me?
Edit: I can't spell for shit.

Rune/Dye/Material traders can run out of their goods if too many people buy them.
Best idea is to just close the window and open it again until they have another, and hope you're the first person to click to buy it.

Guess the price on them will rise like Batmans c*ck, when he sees Robin.
Should've stacked up on 'em.

ReDoGG might want to add Signets as a Counter because SF cant block Signets.

Just curious, for those who farm raptors:
Have you gotten any lockpicks with this build?

Just cleared Chaos Planes, the Chamber, the Vale's Graspings and a bunch of terrorwebs from the UW. 1 hour 30, but I could get it to an hour ^^ Fun fun. Yay for de-nerfs!
Kusandaa
Cleared Chaos Planes 3-4 times, went a bit in Spawning Pools, almost cleared Bone Pits... but Bone Pits takes a LOT of patience as not to aggro too many Dead Collectors. Collectors are MMs and when they die, their minions become masterless. The Threshers attack them with Suffering/FoC which also gets to you if you don't run away fast enough. It CAN be done, I gave up 3 or 4 mobs before clearing this part - not enough ectos compared to Chaos Planes.
This unnerf actually sparked up interest in heavy farming again... made some decent cash today =].

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put Glyph of Swiftness + Deadly Paradox + The newly unnerfed Shadow Form together. But seriously on topic, I just tanked the whole Deep in NM, and the only problem was the Freezing Nightmares, my guild group had a fun time when I died after they expunged me. Beyond that, a Perma-SF sin was extremely useful for pulling mobs, seperating Kanaxai from his mob, and even completely tanking tens of twenties of enemies, except in the enchantment room.
Also, I found a build to do the Chaos Planes in 27 minutes flat. Here it is:
[skill]Glyph of Swiftness[/skill][skill]Deadly Paradox[/skill][skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Fire Attunement[/skill][skill]Phoenix[/skill][skill]Inferno[/skill][skill]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill]
Pretty simple really, don't spam your AoE attacks, make sure you have enough energy. It's alot faster than Sliver spam, and I haven't tried it out in HM yet, but it will probably take a bit longer, but work.

But it takes around 10-15 minutes longer. That's more time I could spend farming more ectos using a faster build for farming things that loot scaling doesn't apply to. No thanks.

Try A/E with essence then. The point is: The build should work without consumables. It was pretty much doable with consumables before the update.

how many ectos per run do u guys get?
Nightow
I was having some major issues with the sliver build while trying to clear the chamber in UW. I'd use [Grasping Earth] followed by [sliver armor] and manage to get them down to about 3/4ths health when they start to run away. Sometimes they don't get far away fast enough but most of the time, they do. Maybe it's because I haven't bothered to get [Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] on my assassin alt.? ...Dang it, now I'm going to have to grind my way through GW:EN again. What rank do you recommend in Vanguard for this build?

couldnt you use intensity then glyph of elemental power than sliver armor to subsitute

Glyphs do not stack like how weapon spells don't. Casting a second glyph replaces the older glyph and I need GoLE to maintain energy.
