One tip, from when I maxed the Leg. Survivor title on my Warrior, always play with your Guild List open...if things go south, JUMP TO GUILD HALL!

Can anyone think of a Rt/Mo variation for this build? Maybe something using resilient weapon, or something?

Amazing build!!!! love it. THank you so much. Punching dwarves was getting boring.

But......

Wanted to do this on my warrior but don't have nightfall So made a few modifications and this works just as well.

You can do the following build with the first 3 heroes you get in Eye of the North.

Skills for all 3 heroes (vekk, gwen and ogden)

[build=OQNDAmwzGAAAAAAyLeHUfA]

(ignore the attributes, just make sure protection prayers are at 12. even for ogden)

Heroes cast all enchants on you. Except for balth spirit. Each hero casts their own balth spirit on themselves. Since they have life bond on you, the damage sent to them charges balth spirit to give themselves energy.

Your skills

[build=OwEU0WX+wKGFEkrkvAAAHUeA]

(ignore the attributes, just make sure protection prayers are at 12 and the rest into healing and a little in tactics)

Cast all of these on yourself only!!

Just equip a staff for the extra energy to cast your enchants on yourself and then Balth spirit gives you adrenaline through the fight to charge up bonnettis. Which will then give you enough energy to spam either:

Healing breeze
SHield of regeneration
or other regen skills

Enjoy.

Few things I need clearing on. I want to try this with an ele, so if my entire skill bar consists of Obsi Flesh + Glyph of Swiftness, would that work?

Also as for the keg farming - I know the general concept of it - talk to the guy, receive keg, drop it, pew pew pew and repeat. But there has to be some hotkeys to do this really fast?

So what I've gathered:

1) Make char (probably Factions), get to main island
1.1) Ferry to NF and get monk heroes
2) Get to EotN, get run to Gunnar's
3) Box to 20 for like, 10-15 mins
4) Go to Sifhalla and get a perma to run me to jaga moraine. While he's running, I grab the keg guy?
5) In Jaga, I ench up and bond myself w/ monks, flag them away
6) Nuke away
7) rezone and repeat

Ok. if you dont have nightfall and only have 3 heroes with you (i.e. a new character). this is the build for you.

[build=OQNC08zhGlHAEZ8Oo+AA]

[build=OgNDwajPPZE5BAgmEPOI6jtI]

[build=OwQCQ8zxdkHAAQ8Oo+AA]

stick a minor protection prayers on ogden and you are set to go. not all of your heroes need 13 protection prayers. only ogden does.

using the above means you dont need to be monk secondary yourself.

you can just use melandrus resilience of whatever for regen

Done.

[JUNK]

After I forgot to get up after a night out with Killy () - I remade my assassin and I figured I'd do this. Since the boy is still a nooby booby (lvl11) I figured I'd go check this place out - and check the route that needs to be taken. Now - I reached Jaga - but I am not seeing the foe numbers pictured here. I pretty much just get 15 foes.
I went there in NM.
Is there a quests I should finish or take to get the massive spawn?

And I am guessing if I want to go perma - I just need to take Paradox, SF and GoS?

Thanks!

How should I do it with an assassin? Simply make a permasin and do keg farming? Or how can I speed it up? I want leg survivor asap, dont care about drops etc.

Real men use Scrolls of the Lighbringer, and even then only ones they get from coffers.

Very impressive.
Well Punchout is old news then = )

I'm going to try a Dervish using this method, will report back with results. I'm planning on using Mystic Regen instead of Melandru's, I'm pretty sure the amount of regen (I think it caps out at +32) is overkill, but at least it works.

Hi guys I plan to create a monk and do this, what would be the fastest way to get to doing this farm? Just get run? Also, what skills should the monk use, and is it ok just to use vekk/ogden/gwen

hey, i love this idea and came across it just after planning on making my new warrior a leg survivor ^^

just wondering if anyone could say for certain that it'd work with mystic regeneration? my guess is that it would, but can never be too sure when it comes to survivor, right? :P

Again, great build there ASF, keep 'm coming

I've been using this method with */D instead of ranger. Works very well.

Dump as much attribs into earth prayers as you can and take Mystic regen. With so many enchants on you, you never have less than +10 pips, it's fast casting and out lasts recharge.

A dervish tome is a lot cheaper than an elite ranger one.

So, before I try this (I am using R/Mo); how many enemies can I get at one time? I'm sure its not all of one side then all of the other.

I take 0 damage as a 55 with this build. I'm a Mo/Me, but as you can see, i have zero skills on the skill bar, so obviously it works with any prof.



Step 1) Have 55 hp
Have all your heroes cast on you in this order:

1) Protective Bond
2) Life Bond
3) Have the 1 hero with Life Barrier cast it on you (in addition to life bond).
4) Have the Heroes cast Balthazar's Spirit on themselves.

If you are a monk or a mesmer, you could do it with just 2 heroes by casting Protective Bond and Balthazar's Spirit on yourself (using signet of illusions with at least 13 illusion magic if you're a mesmer).

Also, they deal earth damage.....which means if you are hurting for energy, you can go */Me and use Mantra of Earth.....however, you still must be able to counter the degen.

FYI, while testing this out on my monk, I came up with an idea for a solo Vaettir HM farming build for 55 Mesmers.


16 Illusion Magic, 15 Domination Magic, the rest in inspiration magic
Signet of Illusions
Protective Spirit
Shield of Absorbtion
Healing Breeze
Shatter Hex (hits them all for 120 armor ignoring damage).
Blessed Aura
Mantra of Earth

Last skill slot is optional (Light of Deldrimor would work well)

Cast Blessed Aura on yourself while under SoI so you get the full 37% enchant boost + the 20% from your weapon. This will allow you to maintain Shield of Absorption so you take no damage.

Maintain enchants with Signet of Illusions, Protective Spirit, Shield of Absorption and Healing Breeze.

Just starting, you can use shatter hex without it being covered by SoI since it still does 120 damage. Once you get more comfortable with the build, you can skip Prot Spirit every now and then to hit with Shatter Hex under SoI.

You should take zero damage, and healing breeze should give you +1 health regen after they cast all their hexes on you. This means you can aggro them in 2 large groups rather than lots of small groups. This also means Mesmers can keg farm like sins/eles.....just replace shatter hex with shielding hands and you're golden.

I just wanted to update this quickly since it's a survivor thread and I dont want there to be any confusion......

Your heroes WILL lose occasional energy through Protective Bond which will not be able to be mitigated by Essence Bond if you take zero damage. To remedy this, your heroes will need BIP and healing. I'm still working on it......

I figured out why they cause heroes to lose energy....... The energy loss on heroes is due to the skill accumulated pain. Every time it is cast, for some reason

Pretty much....unless you can do your own damage (which is entirely possible).

I would personally recommend AoE degeneration. Just keep them next to a wall on their left side, and they won't scatter.

Like this.....except using heroes to keep you alive so anyone can do it.
