are there any farming builds out there that can solo farm asterius the mighty consistently enough in HM to get his green scythe? ive been trying a perma-sliver armor build however he can hit through SF with zealous renewal, so i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to farm him.

Maybe you can try bring a self heal with your perma sliver, maybe even a bonder, I'm not sure tho.

You can kill everyone around him with H/H, except the boss, retreat, then flag your H/H away and farm the boss with spirits. It works well.

Green drop rate in NM is the same so you could try something there first (there's a vigorous moebiius detah blossom build that could work with some alteration).Perma slivering should work in HM,aggor as much as you can then shadowstep the boss.

Take Dark Escape and you should be fine. You'll kill him before he kills you.

You don't even need perma-sliver, I farmed him with my E/A.

If it doesn't have to be A/ then spirit spamming works a charm (just like it does nearly everywhere).

Perma sliver works fine...just take Shadow Refuge to outheal his damage while wanding him. Also go into the grassy area collecting as much aggro as possible before engaging him. More aggro = quicker kill.

As Xsiriss suggested, try NM. Why are you farming for greens in HM?

sliver works, you just need deaths charge

if you want a change of pace, a wammo auspicious riposter works solo vs any derv boss, and almost all sin and war bosses, hybrid grenths/riposter works against the rest

I got the scythe yesterday (in HM) with a standard perma sliver with Dark Escape. Sliver targeted him every time, and he only ran away on a couple runs.
