Short Term Faction Farmer

Since the IWAY group for the Zaishen challenge is a bunch of idiots, I took a few minutes to get it to work but here's a Mes/Nec build that could REALLY put the hurt on your nooby opponents ^_^

10+1+3 Inspiration Magic
7+1 Fast Casting
9+1 Illusion
10 Curses

Soothing Images
Physical Resistance
Channeling
Ether Feast
Feast of Corruption {E}
Enfeebling Blood
Shadow of Fear
Suffering

As you can see, the idea is to keep Phys. Resis. and Channeling up indefinitely and since you've got 8 foes on you, you get a LOT of e. regen equivalent each time you cast something. Spamming Ether Feast and Channeling each time it renews gives you quite a burst of regen. The real idea is to keep Soothing Images on your hapless morons eternally along with Weakness and Shadow of Fear.

The killing skill is Feast of Corruption which not only gives you a gigantic burst of hp and damage, but since you're throwing 3 hexes on every time, your hp should never suffer.

Biggest booboo, NEVER forget to keep Soothing Images in it's recycle stage [as in spam it each chance you get]. The moment they can hit you with Disrupting Chop, you lose out on Channeling and their armor ignoring swings can penetrate your Physical Resistance [dowh*]

However, this is again, just for a quick blast of faction since you can't 'farm' faction for very long.

Any ideas on other builds to counter the other teams? ^_^

For obsidian spike: Trappers.
For Trappers: Trappers.
For IWAY: Trappers.
For IW mesmers: Trappers.
For Degen: Trappers.

Traps > AI

Damn, sounds about right... ;_;

With my mesmer (and henchies) I did the Zhaisen's IWAY succesfully spamming blind with the Signet of Midnight and Epidemic; but, not always goes well.

With the mesmer I have done the IW's trappers using energy denial: Energy Surge and Signet of Weariness and the same for the smiting monks.

With my monk (and henchies) I do the Zhaisen's IWAY using bonds: Life Bond and Life Barrier.

As a rule trappers are the most effective with: Traps + Frozen Soil; the mesmer may enhance this with Fevered Dreams Think, the elementalist may not go into the traps if you put them in the door.
