I saw a video posted done by a mo/w. I'll try to find the link.

Edit: Here is the link to the thread:

I am glad you guys enjoyed the video.

The exact skill setup is as psycore said...
1- Bonnetti's
2- Cyclone Axe
3- Vigorous Spirit
4- Zealot's Fire
5- Healing Breeze
6- Healing Hands
7- Live Vicariously
8- Mending

Skill setup... I am not 100% sure on this but I believe this is a fair approximation. Will have to check when I get home.
9 Healing
8 Smiting
12 Strength
12 Axe Mastery
4 Tactics

If you add up all those points it isnt possible, unless you used 3 superior runes on strentgth, ,axe mastery, and tactics, otherwise you wouldnt have enough points. i just switched my build to this and i have 8 in healing, 5 in smiting 12 in axe 12 in strength, and 4 in tactics and i have exactly 0 points to spend

It should be possible with 2 sup runes and a hat.

My build is
15 Fire (11 + Sup Rune + Hat)
15 Water (12 + Sup Rune)
6 (7?) Energy (minor rune)

If I dropped my 2 primaries down to 12, that would generate a huge number of attribute points for the rest.

I had trepidations with Armor of Mist, so I used Armor of Frost. First attempt was a disaster but then I learned from my mistake and now it works like a champ. I round up the minotaurs, then cast Armor of Frost then gather up 16 or so Griffons and with the Armor on, I take much less damage pulling and while casting Mist Form. In the past, when I had this many creatures, I had trouble surviving after Mist Form ended, even with them blinded. But now I just put on Armor of Frost and wait for mist form to recharge and I have no problems living now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The only thing preventing me from rounding them all up is that I can't kill the bosses and so I am better off not getting them in my net. But I got some guild-mates to come help me kill them and they don't seem to drop any better than the non-bosses so I see I am not missing anything by skipping them.
I found that if i couldnt kill a boss monster in under 2 minutes it was easier to just feed it to the sand wurms and go back to my regular schedual of killing. Only tricky part is getting the worm to pop up under what is chasing you to cause the chasing monster to get damged and start fighting the wurm. As a caster you have ranged attacks, so if you were really slick about it, you could probably net the kill xp from the boss monster stealing it from the wurm. This is also a handy way to get rid of other undesirables like sand golems and the beetles.

There is a sand wurm near the southern zone exit near the griffs and there is another one just south of the oasis past the minotaur valley on the eastern zone edge.

Happy hunting

then my question is...how can he have so much health if he had 2 superior runes? 75+75=-150 health. if you watched the video he was nearing 600 health

Because you're talking about two separate builds. The W/x has a ton of health, the E/x cuts his health down through the superior runes.

Ive seen a runner that did this is less than 3 minutes. Still not a bad run though.

Yeah I don't know how he has 600HP with all that. I am not familiar with W items though. Maybe he has a shield or something with +HP.

Wings: it takes me approximately 3.5 minutes from start to finish for this run. And it is a fun filled last 40 seconds

Right, I'm gonna be short this time. I liked the movie, went to kill some Talus trolls. I have a question about that video that may seem silly- what band and song is that

Just wanted to thank the poster for showing me a new farming area.

Took my Mo/W build there, decimated the bastards. Funny how a good build holds up to new challenges.

Back to mastering Single UW/FOW farming runs.

i cant find healing hands, me and my party went capping in perdition rock, and the only boss that didnt spawn was the one that gives healing hands.

Brull Bowbeater

Did they get rid of him?

Cause this is the 4th time

There are two bosses in Perdition Rock that carry Healing Hands:

Rull Browbeater and Dwayna's Cursed

Rull Browbeater has always spawned in the same spot for me: after exiting the outpost take the left path up the hill, turn left at the top of the hill, head for the Mursaat Tower and on the right will be a small alcove with Rull roaming around in it.

Dwayna's cursed doesnt give healing hands, they give some other skill.

Martyr i think it was, and Rull, ive never seen him.

He is a random spawn. On my warrior it took several times in and out for him to show up. On my Monk he was there the first time. The other day I was helping a friend to capture it and we finally saw him the 6th time out of the ember camp.
Keep on coming in and out and you will see him.

Tried to get HH yyesterday. I went out with henchies, turned right, went along the coast clearing the golems. Past 2 spots where named spawns, I arrived at the 3rd spot, near the second. Brull was there, I was happy until I realized I didn't get SoC with me... You imagine... After a few re-tries I captured Martyr and Amity but I never saw Brull again.

Funny thing about this farming was, I could (and needed to) put off my armor to make it work, because i had too many superiors on it.
Hey what should i say, it was mesmer runes.

Farming is boring once you know how to gain 45k experience in 30 minutes "LEGALLY" in the underworld, with just a good team.

I have treid countless times, maybe 30 and still i have not found him.

I found a better skill though, that basically does the same thing but is 100x better. You find it after the long bridge in thunderhead mission. Tried it 15 times and different bosses spawned in his spot.

So...did the griffon run get nerfed or can we continue to farm?
