The goal of this farm is to open 1 chest in a 7min/9min dungeon run, the chest is that of justiciar thommis in slaver's exile.

The Farm consists of two parts:

Run to the dungeon

The run to the boss room and taking thommis over to the appropriate spot on the wall.

http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=runrq8.jpg

1.Running to the dungeon.
Exit from umbral grotto the only group in this part of the run you have to address is the first one (*though this sounds wrong i'm damned sure you can run past them as well*), kill it off and then continue to caravan (*the exact translation although we know he means run i'm putting exacts here*) through the remaining groups and enter the ungeon

2.Run to the justiciar.

The ranger places the spirits upon the largest rock, the monk chick bonds the tank up (*i'm not sure if this is right, just what i'm reading*) and stands in the intermediate (*medium sized) one (*rock*) the eles stand near a wall but the party is seperated from eachother for the most part to avoid any chain aggro problems.
The assasin runs to the first group in the direction of *la sala*(the room), Does the combo that starts with, forming up, then applying storm djinn's haste.
In pereperation to later run to the door (*to pull them*) where it began (*the entrance*) to recast his form as well as to take time to find the "guardian" (*defender*)
We try to coax them towards the wall so that they line up *kind of single file* so that we may kill them off one by one and the sin can body block them (*i think by "them" he means the team support enemies such as the monks and zealots*)

In part to kill several things around warden of earth and 2 guards or clear the view to thommis, assasin try to stick to Thommis in the hole (*pull point shown in videos and pics*) and let attempt to bodyblock him after leaving the hole with him still in it.

The Build:
This can be done in a million ways though my way is rather different.

Preferably they go ritualist secondary with the restoration attribute skill that reses through frozen soil.

the other 4 builds included more earth or fire damage and is preferrable that you either run two account or bring humans with pve skill as you can bring pain inverter for the guardians (*different use of the word here, i don't quite know if he means the monks or the damned eles (wardens), so, you figure it out*)

The drops here are rather good and the idea occurred to me when i saw the wiki pages on voltaics:
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Voltaic_Spear
it also drops:
amethysts
pyroclastics
onyx and diamonds
and a boatload of skins that unfortunately are crap and aren't worth more than 40k such as onyx staves and wands, as well as embersteel blades.

How come after I kill Thom, the chest doesn't spawn right away?

This happen twice already and seems like I have to kill more Stone Summits or the right one before it spawns. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

You have to kill Thommis's mob for the chest. Not all of the enemies in that room are part of that mob though.

As soon as the mob is dead, the path will be blown open and everyone makes a mad dash for the chest. As long as you aren't running 2+ superiors, you should be able to make it to the chest to claim you reward.

About sliver, wouldnt this work just as well.
Armor of mist instead of flame djinn, sliver in place of heart of shadow.
Now this is in NM im talking about, tried with Hm both builds and got pwnt :P
11 earth
6 water
2 deadly arts (6 sec plenty for dp)
12 shadow
just a thought :/
On nm you dont take much dmg (unless rubberband) and death charge use for heal is plenty, personally have never even had to use heart of shadow.

Just get the sin to take aggro and pull them away down the other hall, then everyone grabs their rewards, then the sin comes back and grabs his.

Unless of course you're one of those rare nice people in the game, in which case, you have my sympathies.

Like usual though, by the time I get up the effort to try this out, it'll be farmed to death and nearly worthless. Good thing too, I like the cool skins for my heroes. Nothing like joing a pug and having your heroes all pimped out.

Very nice, i can definitely see this catching on, i just hope i can get a pug to see it in action because i am a little sick of my assassin at the moment

Only one question really, Have you tried this in normal and hard mode?

This one gets a +1 for thinking out of the box though as someone already said earlier, very good work...

Personally though, I find it hard enough in NM with running back and forth to keep Thommis close to the Wall.

the hard part about hm is the run to the pull point, kd's for days, the answer = i am unstoppable.

on a minor side note, i'm not the most amazing tank for it, but, i may start tanking it for 500gper run.

I rarely did the run in HM. and always with people.

what they wanted to say, using 2 accounts, with 1 object drop by my account was equal to HM.

in the video fails, and Thommis bodyblock to me, the solution is not to attack you,
and attract the right place.

I assure you that 20-run, I fail 1. So using 2 GW

do it anyway at HM. is the best
