Skills - Obsidian Flesh
Guild Wars Guru
ShadowStorm
Questions: Are there any Elite Level Grand Drakes? And Is Divinity Coast the only place you can find Grand Drakes? I ask these questions because the Grand Drake is the only creature listed above as having and using this skill... How are we supposed to obtain this skill if there are no "bosses" of the creature type that uses it?

Boss Name: Harn Coldstone - Zone Name: Perdition Rock - Monster Type: Human

I have seen another (Earth?) spell called Obsidian Armor (the website isn't up rightnow that listed it), and one of the locations it was said to be used by a boss--and thus capturable--was in the Black Curtain area. Said boss was the "Fog Nightmare Boss."
I went there in search of, and only found a boss named the Shadow of Death (approximate proper name from memory--Located in the East/Southeastern reach of the zone where the Fog Nightmares congregate). However, the Capture signet came up nil for skills by my E/Mes.
It seems to me I have seen the spell used by some of the Fog Nightmares, but I may be mistaken. Is this the same skill, or another non-elite one? I see no other skills on this website of similar ilk.

I can't find Obsidian Flesh. Xennon's site lists it in Perdition Rock, but there are 2 problems.
1- There are no "humans" in Perdition Rock, except White Mantle guys who don't have bosses other than the Council ones. The rest of the mobs are Hydras, Flesh Golems, Drakes, Spiders and so on.
2-I've cleaned the whole friggin map three times, and there was no sign of this mysterious "human" Harn Coldstone.
Any hint is appreciated.

Any hint is appreciated. He's there. He just doesn't spawn all the time.
Don't clear the area. Look at his travel route. If you see him there he's there. If not, map out and try again.

There is always One human spawn at the rock. And they wander all over it. There is a Ranger boss too. She sometimes spawns in his place. If you're finding spirits left right and center he hasn't spawned. Exit and try again. Normally you don't find him, he finds you. Usually at the worst possible time (Group is being ganged by 5 hydras 
)
)
Rey Lentless
Ahhh, so he takes the place of the ranger boss wandering around.. ok.
I've never not seen the ranger boss and I've cleared that area probably.... 2 dozen times with various characters. I guess I'll keep looking.
I've yet to see a human in that path either.

There's no spell called Obsidian Armor. Maybe you're thinking of Armor of Earth, or possibly Obsidian Flame. Plus Fog Nightmares use Necro Skills.

If you want to solo in an area, where most enemies are spellcasters, that spell is very good!
But in a group it is nearly useless, because you can still get damaged by spells!

Skill is available from Harn Coldstone in Perdition Rock.
He patrols the entire island, so you have to walk about loads to try and catch him, or wait from him to come by you.
He isnt human, he is Enchanted Forgotton.

Dazzler
He walks counter=clockwise around the island, so if you go clockwise you will run across him if he spawned.
I found this out the hard way as I kept going counter-clockwise too and could never find him

this is just like Speelbreaker for monks, which is pretty cool. use this for PvP it'll help with those damn mesmers =D jp
Rajamic
This skill is better than Spell Breaker in almost every way. It costs less mana, lasts longer and has a shorter recharge time (so you have less time without it), and gives +20 armor.
The only downside is the slower movement, and that's not much, particularly since to hit you with an AoE spell, they have to target someone else near you.

What route is the guy taking, i've been at perdition rock a few times with no luck of any "human" boss at all. if anyone could tell me ingame my name is Crusader Zzziippit. thx a ton
Vampiric Greenhorn
if you have earth magic lvl 16 and a staff wrapping of enchanting you can keep this spell active for nearly all the time
Felbryn
Spell Breaker also has the advantage that it can be used on allies, not only on yourself.

Fabius Cunctator
I really didn't understand what you said krismalo, you got it from somewhere other than perdition rock? Where exactly? What's the name of the boss?
Oryaka Drake
Ya....typing in the laguage your typing correctly normally helps.. quite a bit!
Amused Observer
The original question krismalo asked was why Ob Flesh is good. I couldn't make out what the rest of the post was commenting on. . >_>
But to answer that question, OF is a great self protection spell against all sorts of attacks---physical and magical. True you move slower but if the mob is not near you (i.e. snared), there's no harm in losing some movement ability. To me, not being targeted by enemy spells mean that you won't have to deal with hexes, spikes, health/energy drains, etc. It's a very nice protection spell against all sorts of pvp builds.
I would definitely consider using this as my elite if I'm running a W/E.

well, at 16 earth it only lasts for 21 seconds. if you're running a warrior, chances are you probably won't have 12 in earth magic...so i'm guessing it won't last more than 15-17 seconds.
unienaule
The duration of Ob Flesh is:
0-8 seconds
1-9 seconds
2 and 3-10 seconds
4-11 seconds
5-12 seconds
6-13 seconds
7 and 8-14 seconds
9-15 seconds
10-16 seconds
11-17 seconds
12 and 13-18 seconds
14-19 seconds
15-20 seconds
16-21 seconds
17-22 seconds
18-23 seconds
So, anyone with even 10 earth could keep it up slightly over half the time. Earth eles with 20% wrapping get 25.2 second duration. This skill rocks. However, it does not cause spell *failure* like spellbreaker does.

then what does it do?
(wait a minute. yes it does. i tried to cast ...something on Harn Coldstone and all that came out was "This monster is protected by Obsidian Flesh." i think i should get a screenie...once i can get the time to hunt down Harn)

Easy to get does not equate badness.
Like other people say, this is a Monk skill.

super dooper
what unienaule means by 'spell failure', is that if you try to cast through Obsidian Flesh, it will just say that you can't do it or whatever. Spellbreaker on the other hand, if you try to cast through it, you will start casting the spell, but it will fail just like you cancelled out of it yourself, and you'll lose the energy.
don't understand it? well too bad I suck at explaining things :P

Obsidian Flesh is a very nice spell... when you combine it with serpents Quickness you can keep it up 24/7. You just need one of those +20% Enchantment Mods, a high earth attribute and serpents quickness.

But thnx to these 3 hrs i memorized how to go all around, find all the bosses and safely cap all the skills i can.

just to mention something else:
you all know the area called mineral springs? il at bit north west from granite citadel.. well in this area there have been comming new monsters some titans (but just mutch harder to kill) go check it out. its actully posibel to farm those hardcore mobs.. ALONE only with obsidian flesh and armor of earth as protection!!! check it out they drop better than the old days smiters. have i explained myself corectly? if you have some problems understanding what i mean, then i will ask you re-read the post and if you still cant understand, go to hell. The atributes/skills i use to kill those mobs: (with E/ME) earth - 16. energy storage - 10. domination - 9. crystal wawe. obsidian flame. aftershock. earthquake. backfire. shame. armor of earth. aura of restoration. |
