Think I may have found a way to kill those berserker skeles, after i clear everything on the left side of the bridge , I keep way about 1 1/2 aggro bubble away from the skeles, and drop a dust trap(brought this instead of dodge). Then I wait for the dust trap to fully recharge and pop up kindle arrows before pulling 2 of the berserker skeles. Pop up Physical Resis and keep firing away, usualy 1 skele runs off while the other keeps hacking away at me. I then drop another dust trap (just before the blind wear off on the skele attacking me, but he died, so dropped the dust trap before the other skele got back to me) and killed of the other skele. Didn't get a chance to fighter the impalers (scared they may use distracting shot when I use troll to counter their poision) or the 2 bonders, since I net errored 7 out(didn't get a chance to pick up the 2 shards that 2 of the skeles dropped for me DX), and now Europe has favor (booooooooooooooooo)

so, ive done a bunch of runs, and i thought id share this little tidbit.
armored cave spiders go down SUPER fast & easy with just a slight strategy & equipment change... i use a 5/1 vamp halfmoon of defense on them... no kindle arrow (since they seem to have high armor vs ele)... basically, i run up and interrupt their apply poison, then i just lay into them with the shortbow. its faster refire rate means you dont need the savage for healing springs, so you can focus on just keeping his poison interrupted. generally i dont even need to use my troll unguent, as long as i can keep his apply poison down.

Seeing as theres like 4 Infuser skeles at that bridge, i've just come to the conclusion that it's nigh impossible to clear out completely. Also no flesh > me.
Anyway, after reading all these solo ranger threads lately (this one, DNKP one, etc) i've been trying to work on other solo builds. I've got a solo Tombs build almost perfected, for the first 2 rooms at least and i'm working on a solo glint build.

i'll be sure to try it out (i have a graygore's vamp)

The unedited map came from the second page of the "Maps Gallery" on this site. I edit it to suit my needs.

The thing to be careful with when u switch over to a short bow(to fight the spiders), is watch your aggro. Since the sipider will be just within ur aggro bubble, another spider may drop by. Had this happen to me a few times, (once all 3 spider where right next to each other so i wasn't able to pull them apart....so had to posion 1 and run away, and just repeat the cycle till there was only 1 [which took a while at -1 degen]).
Not sure if this will make your run any faster, but did you think of using a super rune of wildress. My current setup is
Marksmanship- 9(8+1(minor rune))
Wilderess Survival- 16(12+3(super rune)+1(mask))
Expertise-9 (7 +2 (major rune))
Inspiration Magic-8
My health is about 396 and never had any problems with that yet. Just a quick thing about the spiders again, with kindle i usually hit them for about 30ish points of damahe (13ish pts with kindle, 15ish with my bow), while without it i was hitting for about 15 I think. (Plus i usually use my kindle arrows as a timer so I known when to expect to interrput thier next apply posion but that just me)

VIDEO OF THE RUN
i got a semi-difficult spawn.
Svinat
I'm going to try this soon, even if it looks very hard. I have some experience by farming ice imps/siege ice golems, but you will earn gold faster by doing this, right? Well, I'll better get that quest-reward bow, poison arrow and the two mesmer skills, then I'm ready to try it! (I will probably have to try 10 times before I can even think about managing to do the run)
Dracostamer
Very nice.
Valerius
the run is very easy imo... i was able to do it on my first try... and the -2 dmg in stance longbow is crap imo... i don't see any use for it... the only trouble you should have is against the spiders and all their dmg comes from their poison
Wolydarg
I use the longbow vs the Spirit Woods, too. They're the trees on stereoids. With the longbow/physical resistance you bring their 40+ damage down to like 9...
Anarion Silverhand
So you take 0 dmg from the spiders attacks, Valerius?

Do you think i could adapt this to a r/e by simply replacing Mantra of Lightning and Physical Resistance with armor of earth?

i don't see any problem with that besides the slowdown. all that the /Me stances are doing is armor stacking anyway. 
God's Will
cool. Thanks. I'll try it and see how it turns out.
Svinat
I actually managed to clear out the whole forest, thanks for posting the build!
:Edit: I do also like the music that you use in the movies.

the +1 energy you get from MoL every hit does come in handy tho... it allows you to spam your attacks with ease
Huntmaster
So i was doing a run earlier, and after clearing the forest i went to gank myself at the skeles and start up another run.. I ran in and threw up Phys. Res. for the hell of it.. Whats this!? -0 everywhere! I was a bit shocked and managed to kill 2 skele wars.. then they used wild blow and ganked me.
Anyway, +40vs phys damage takes their crap down to 0.. (I think i had the -2 bow equipped as well..) So really you can take these guys out with some extra armor that doesn't come from a stance. The only thing i can think of is Watch Yourself! but then you have to run the R/W forest build, which is more of a pain to pull off. Can anyone think of anything that will crank armor, and not be stanced?
remmeh
dolyak signet but that doesn't do you much good, does it
Ephemeral Dreamer
Was also thinking about using either a few earth skills, or water skills to boost my armour up to see if it was possible for a ranger elem to do this run (if it works, then taking on those skele shouldn't be much of a problem). Was also thinking of bring SV to cast on myself when facing them (no energy=no wild blow)......Just have to wait for favor now

and if you're taking more than a few hits from them you're dead anyway... :\ best option is just to evade them, don't get hit by wild blow

very nice vid, (and i liked the music ^^). I'm still downloading it though...i mean i already saw it but im going to download it on my laptop again i wanna see it. I think i might try this build 2, thanks for the help!

I hate the spiders they very annoying and scary @_@

do you get adrin when you attack with a bow? I thought it had to be a melee weapon.

You do. You can get one hit for every arrow. So you can get up to six hits of adrenaline with barrage.
Mr D J
Nice build, thx for sharing

you get 1 hit of adrenaline when you strike a foe with an attack, be it with a sword, axe, bow, wand, etc.
i think you get 1/4 strike of adrenaline when you are hit with an attack. not sure about that one though.

im pretty sure the adren gain from beign hit is based on the amount of damage you take, then i could be wrong but sure seemed that way

Hey Remmeh, nice build and nice video.
I'm going to start trying this out for myself, and steal the good drops from the forest as well :P One question I have though, is I have 2 bows ready for this: Suffixes are good I think. What would be best prefixes for both bows? Money is not really an issue, so anything would be fine as long as it is optimal. I thought either a 10/10 sundering string or a 5:1 vamp or a 33% poisoners. What is the GWGuru community concensus?

Doesn't Ignite already make the damage fire damage?
Valerius
ignite arrows only adds fire dmg to your arrows... where as kindle turns your arrows into fire dmg... so if your gonna be using kindle Rhuobhe... slap on either a 5:1 vamp or poisoners string
