I've searched in the forum for farms that involve killing afflicted so that we get a chance to get some plagueborn weps.... i found nothing!
so my only way is to run chests... wat i really dont like very much...
soo is there anyway to farm afflicted?
maybe with Unstoppable SF?
Srry if there is any thread about this that i've missed...
ty in Advance

Plagueborn farming possible?

With infinite SF, yes you should be able to farm them. The worst afflicted skill out there is Order of Apostasy (Afflicted Necromancer).
But since that spell requires the monster to hit you, it fails as well.
So it looks like you're all set to HM farm those Afflicted!
Since Sliver Armor could get slow, you might want to look into other ways of damage dealing.

I'd imagine anything that isn't crippled by OoA and the afflicted soul explosion would work fine. An A/E perma-SF could work, with healing added to counter the soul explosion.

I haven't used Shadow Form myself but i'd assume you'd sitll take damage from the soul explosions as they're untargetted?
Azora
idk maybe bringing some healing skill to counter afflicted explosion... can someone try this?? im still boxing my sin to lvl 20 to farm xD
Ambuu
shadow refuge works great for healing, since you'll have 16 shadow arts. I use shadow refuge a lot.

There is also the problem of Afflicted rangers and throw dirt.
Azora
So if theres blind Sf+ daggers impossible...
we only got SF silver or Sf nuker...

SF nuker should work fine, but going to need refuge in the build, or some other healing to counter the...I think 60 dmg, AoE Soul explosion.

Ive been lazy and dragging a hero with extinguish and purifying veil (helps vs multiple chained throw dirts), but trying a few options for soloing.
Azora
So... can someone test this? put somes screens.... and give us some results?

As far as places to farm them, Tanaki Temple would probably work well.
Gwmaster
i tried them outside kaeneng with my assassin, managed to kill a few with nukes..but they scatter to much and the healers...heal..then i tried sliver and managed to kill a few more but healers are still a problem..as far as health went..shadow refuge works well...also death charge for emergency.
masta_yoda
shadow refuge should be able to counter the damage u take as long as u keep attacking
farmed dragons throat mission and got quite far b4 timer ran out

Also, go with ele skills. Dagger attacks will be your downfall against Monks (due to retribution)
zling
you could try the E/A or A/E Shadowform farmer with either sliver(not recommended) or fire nukes(recommended)
just remember to bring some sort of self heal, Aura/Glyph of Restoration, Shadow Refuge, etc.
also get as much health as possible to make sure the soul explosions dont kill you.
oh and be careful not to kill too many afflicted at once as a single self heal wont be able to deal with tons of deaths going simultaniously.

I'm in the middle of testing perma sf on my mes, I can successfully farm outcast already, even bosses in rhea crater, today I'll try afflicted, imo it shouldn't be that hard, as I could already easily chest run shenzun tunnels and sunjiang district
AshenX
Ive run Way of Perfection as my self heal for farming afflicted with my perma SF dagger build. Works fine, 38 health from each critical hit, crit often enough so that even if I take multiple afflicted explosions at once (if death blossom kills multiple at once) I am quickly back up to full health. Its also more than enough to offset damage from retribution.

I have tested these 3 different skills that defeat [skill]order of apostasy[/skill] are:
[skill]stone sheath[/skill], [skill]stone striker[/skill], and [skill]Greater Conflagration[/skill]
I would also assume since they miss SF would work fine so really with minimal healing you should be all set to go just the damage dealing is gonna be the tough part. I will see if I can figure something out that works I've cleared large amounts of them with a 600 necro on shing jea island before with careful pulls and quick enchant recasts.
A skill I need to test still is [skill]mist form[/skill] I am assuming it will strip it but not sure mist form should work like shadowform imo.

oh well in fact it's easy as hell, when I thought they were the most annoying monsters in faction
I use [spirit of failure][empathy][diversion][channeling][shadow refuge] rest is standard, 4+ inspi 16 dom 11 shadow rest FC +5e 20% enchant spear 20/20 dom focus
basically [spirit of failure] on sin or war by default, they will be your energy machine
recast on recharge
kill rit (healers :x) first
maintain empathy and diversion on recharge they'll go down fast once [life] and [spirit transfer] are diverted
then monk, empathy followed by diversion immediately, it will divert his [rof] now he is useless
kill the rest
I haven't tried multi aggro or place where you could have several rits (like a rit boss + his mob), I guess it may take more time or even be impossible due to them healing eachother, will test that too
note on the damage, in HM, afflicted soul explosion from level 26 non boss monsters deals 97 damage to my mes (60 armor), I suppose level 30 bosses shouldn't deal more than 300 damage, and since you're killing them 1 by 1, no chance of chain killing resulting in killing yourself
drops are not bad, lot of mat, runes and potential plagueborn stuff
edit : tip don't forget to attack when you see [shadow refuge] blinks
also it is basically the same build used for outcast

600hp/Smiter
put stonestriker on the 600hp or better: greater conflagation on the smiter.
Leave marketplace from the north entry, move to Wing, kill a few Jades and the big groups of plagueborns.
That's what a did with a friend a long time ago. He called it "Jaderun", but didn't want to publish it. But now he quit gw, so what

Use a perma SF dagger sin with [[assassins remedy] instead of [[critical eye] and take a [[protective bond] hero for the afflicted soul explosions and you should be able to do it.

if u get a luckie drop post it too... so that we can see wat items might drop from this ugly guis using my mes I have been able to kill afflicted in those spots :
- Shadow's Passage : start from Dragon's Throat, has a war boss
- The Undercity (sometimes monk + rit groups) : start from Vizunah Square (Local Quarter), has necro and monk boss
- Shenzun Tunnels (monk or rit only groups) : start from Sunjiang District, has mesmer boss (ele boss is too far and requires to go through groups of Am Fah, could be done probably if you're lucky with spawns)
- Zen Daijun : start the mission and hug left, Professor Vhang will follow, but you can get him killed, try to kill the first afflicted before Togo at least, since they sometimes aggro him and could kill him, after it's up to you, you can take your time and kill all the afflicted or run to the last bosses to get master on this mission, it took me 15 minutes to do it in HM, there may be some chest spawn (1 or 2), has 2 ranger, rit, monk boss
last but not least, if your character is not canthan born, you could also do Zen Daijun explorable and Haiju Lagoon
drop wise, I think it was ok, lot of bones, tanned hide, leathers from salvaging, some monstrous eyes/claws/fangs, regular and elite tomes, runes/insignia and got a req 9 (edit : curses) 20/10 plagueborn staff
will try 3 others spot that I think may be good :
- outside of Unwaking Waters (Kurzick) to Morostav Trail
- outside of Seafarer's Rest to Rhea's Crater
- outside of Leviathan Pits to Silent Surf

tested the 3 spots I mentionned above, as I expected, all are quite easy, I even surprised my self killing other random monsters in Silent Surf :
Leviathan Eye
Leviathan Mouth
Outcasts
Saltspray Dragon (stay away or they will cast [lightning touch] and [inferno])
Jade Torn Kirin (they have [hex breaker] so it take longer to kill them)
Oni
killed Assassin's Construct, Sentasi and Kenrii, will also test Miella, Sourbeak and the Whispering Ritual Lord, shouldn't be too hard with careful pull
couldn't get Amadis as his patrol often get him killed first, but it should be doable
edit : btw I don't think they will nerf SF in pve it took a hit in PVP due to some ppl abusing it, but in pve, well it's pve
