Ranger Vaettir Farm [No Touch, No PvE Skills, 60 pull]
Rialto
I was messing around last night on my ranger and decided to vfarm for a bit. I don't have any pve skills and the touch build looked pretty slow. I went the dagger route and it did the job. With a good spawn the run can take around 3.5 to 4 minutes, bad spawn 4 to 5 minutes.

Template: OgcVcPM2Rf85hHpzIgHHHGD7g19A
Weapon: Zealous (not in this video but it really helps), +5e, 20% longer enchants
Armor: Full Earthbound, attunement, vigor, +3 wilderness, +1 expertise
Usage:
Defense Skills - Cast Deadly Paradox, Shadow Form, Way of Perfection and Storm Chaser in that order every time.
Offense Skills - Start with Golden Phoenix Strike then Death Blossom followed by Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs, Death Blossom. Continue the Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs, Death Blossom chain until Golden Phoenix Strike is ready or you need to recast your defensive skills.
Why does this work without Shroud of Distress or two assassin enchants? Because after all the damage reduction is calculated you take 3-4 damage per hit. There's a little quirk with the way Shadow Form works where recasting the same assassin enchant, in this case Way of Perfection, adds an additional -5 reduction making you invulnerable.
I apologize in advance if something like this has already been posted.

great build - now find a way to do it without complaining about how sins are overpowered then turning around and using the profession's elite skill

Thanks I think?
This is the first time I posted here so I'm not really sure if you are referring to me complaining about sins...
On a lighter note, I think you'll find it amusing that Shadow Form is the only elite I've capture for an assassin :P

I never understood the Shadow Form hate. I personally have lots of fun with it.
I think my next thing is to try to get Dwarven Stability and use Serpent's Quickness + Shadow Form. If I can perma Serpent's and SF then all I would need to do is grab an e-management dagger skill. The thing that really slows this build down is the 10 second recharge on the attack skills from Deadly Paradox.

Important is you just enjoy the game.
On a personal note, I think any build revolving around Shadow Form is unimpressive because that skill is too over powered. If you make a similar build without it, I might be more impressed.

I tried a heck of a lot of stuff, they have nasty spells and personally my goal was to try to be solo, no hero bonding etc.
Also without the additional -5 reduction, using Melandru's Resilience gets overwhelmed by all the 3-4 damage.
I was thinking VoS, but then I realize that it's mysticism so that wouldn't work.
I'm all up for non-Shadow Form suggestions, keep in mind that it has to be with a Ranger.

I'm not exactly sure why one wouldn't use PvE skills while vaettir farming since it is in eotn where u access them....dwarven stab+serpents quickness...will rc sf w/o the downfall of dp 10sec non attack.

I'm guessing the loss of storm chaser would prohibit the e-management....
