ok, hello to all first. ive been away from monk thread for a while, mainly cuz my monk had a huge headache from gw (too many ppl this days allways blame monks whenever something goes wrong, and yes i way in the monk stirke in THK).anyhow since my 55 died with my monk i didnt wrote to much.
but nowim BACK!.

to the matter in hand. yeti yeti yeti.
u start from Boreas seabed, get out to Pongmei Valley, cut to thr left, pass those nasty groups of Rot Wallow (55 work on them until they vamp bite for 65 dmg). if you will go left all the time you will see groups of yetis.
there are 2 kind, warriors and rit. and here is the tricky part and what nakes all the diff. Disrupting Chop.yeti as ettins use heal sig... u have to Disrupt that.in the 1st few times its tricky..after a while you will see there is a slight pause before they cast heal sig (they move thier hand in a wired way and stop attcking you for a sec or less.).
now the rewards. ive gotten a nice stack of major minors and 1 sup, also lots and lots of Crafting materials (steel, fur, tanned, hide,cloth, ), the real treat is Arrahhsh Moutainclub that has a chance of dropping Arrahhsh's Aegis. the boos is inside the cave,just pass the bridge near the water falls.
u can allways p.m if you have anything to ask. anyhow i guess some ppl allready know about this so i might get flame (there going to nerf it now etc).but i think we should all share.

I dont know how you do it kosh.. Disrupting chop is way too slow.
The boss casts heal sig so fast, that there is no way I can disrupt him.
I tried watching his hands like you said, but it's too fast. It's less than a sec, and disrupting chop has a wind up time...
Guess i have to look for some mesmer skill that disables signets.

which would mean you have to have 2 or 3 interrupt skills, cause i don't remember any skill that is able to disrupt and add time to recharge.. which you really need here

well ty all for replies. as i said..took me a while to catch wher to disrupt him. i guess its more instincts. mesmer skillz could do imo. dont tell any one but Ignorance FTW. with 2-3 points in dom magic u get 10 sec Ignorance and 10 sec cool down so constant Ignorance. i did it, prob alot easier. i do dis chop cuz i like my energy high and chop cost adr. they also blind you what makes dis chop alot harder to do. and that why i like it. il post map later on on.also with dis chop i can dis easy pain and shadow song that the yeti rit do, they dont hold much threat to you.but can be a pain to some waht when rit yeti do Consume Soul and heal themself for about 160, even a bigger pain if they are in a group and then it act as heal area. so il stick with my dis chop. xD

EDIT: Yeah I was smoking crack working a three profession build

PS
HB
SoJ
Ignorance
EB
Blessed Aura
Mending
Bath's Spirit

This build works fine. I just skipped all the Yeti and went for the boss. Two rounds of SoJ and he dies. No green drop in 6 tries, but yeah it works.

It's 84 dmg at level 16 smite. This will negate a good portion of their signet healing. Don't forget the hex will last the full 30 seconds on the boss now (remember how much it sucked in prophecies to hex bosses?).

Now' let's try to speed up this build with more DPS:

SoJ is 21 secs (45 sec recharge) at 16 smite. With 20% enchantment grip/pommel it will last 21 x 1.20 = 25.2 seconds (W/O blessed Aura)

Now let's throw Arcane Echo in this build to keep SoJ up longer:


PS
HB
Arcane Echo
SoJ
Bonetti's Defense
Scourge Healing
Mending
Bath's Spirit

Now with Bonetti's you have endless mana to feed all these high cost Energy Spells. You should be able to cast Arcane Echo, SoJ, SoJ(the Echo'd one), and then SoJ (the original one) and SoJ should be up for over 60 seconds. Don't forget Arcane Echo only mimics the spell for 20 seconds, so you'll need to cast the echo'd SoJ BEFORE the first SoJ's duration is completed (IE don't wait for the first SoJ to start blinking).

I have no idea if this will work or not on these specific monsters, but it might be worth a shot...Good Luck! wow im getting old and slow.

not to flame you or anyhting like, as a matter of fact the build look nice, only 1 prob: are you a monk/mesmer/warrior?

i see Arcane Echo,Bonetti's, and ps and hb... triple combo FTW. xD

Easiest way Imo (I using it)

Is using
Code:
Easiest way to beat him is using 

Diversion 
For 6 seconds, the next time target foe uses a skill, that skill takes an additional 10-47 seconds to recharge.
Energy Cost 	10
Casting Time 	3 seconds
Recharge Time	10 seconds
Skill Type 	Hex Spell 
Linked Attribute 	Domination
You just catch signet for 10 mana and he cant use it for whole fight...
And it is much easier to use diversion on signet then it looks :-D
I got diversion for 44 sec

Even at 8 points into Domination, Diversion lasts for 35 seconds. Now... how you can spare more than 8 points for this skill and still be able to have your other attributes at an efficient level is beyound me. Ignorance works wonders for me.. very easy.

Either way, I already got 2 shields, so I'm good. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to farm Arborstone and Jade Sea. If anyone wants to do it with me, PM plz.

can this be done with a War/Mo? does it have to be a 55? the skills should be the same. Also what's the stats of the shield?

Most probably NOT. You need a 55. Also you need "ignorance", unless you have reflexes of a superman like kosh .

The stats on a shield are great. so is the skin.

Dont worry about farming it. Just buy it from me for 100k +10 ecto, and save yourself the trouble. lol

Yes, you can do it with a warrior, I have done it quite a few times and yes it is a pain cause of the constant sig. You eventually wear the sucker down though. Take Grenths Balance and let him wear you all the way down to like 50hp then hit Grenths Balance for 250hp dmg then hit disturbing chop. I haven't gotten a shield from this suck yet though =(. I've killed the 3 bosses in the area and don't get jack! Hum drops just hate me.

i guess you could use armor bufs for warrior and then second prof. ele and take rust with you, then use disrupting! but still i don't really see the profit here

Smithing Master Sma well why do you have smite in 14? with 16 i got 21 sec and 53 dmg

19*47=893
21*53=1113

1113-893=220.

thats 220 dmg u missing. also if you look at the thread you will see that with Ignorance its alot easier. with 3 points in dom magic u get constant Ignorance on him. the mo/w it lot harder.
also i get DF 10 and i get 27% on blessed aura.

my att:
smite 16
healing 12
prot 10
df 10
axe 3 (for dmg on the fiery flame spitter-6-16 and allu need is 3 axe for req and thats all the att points you get left if you get 200/200.)
avg of 6-16 is is 11 ,so 11* lets say one soj for 53=583, about 1 hit per 2 sec=291.5(if you kill in time the Shadowsong in time not to get blind.

dmg add up. 220+ 291.5=511.3 ,prob less miss,evade etc,,but still u add up around 365.75 even if you do half of that dmg.

Thanks for the post, he finally dropped one for me after 15 tries or so -- not kidding. I had to go do some missions elsewhere cause he started to drop nothing or stolen provisions only.

Anyway, I did my attributes a little different and can succesfully kill him 95%+ of the time. Sometimes that front group doesn't release aggro which can make it hairy if you get interrupted at the wrong time.

Using the ignorance variation someone posted above -- PS, HB, SoJ, Ignorance, EB, Men, BA, BS.

Dom -- 7
HP -- 9
SP -- 15
PP -- 12
DF -- 9

With 7 in Dom Ignorance lasts 14 sec. At 15 energy cost I wanted to limit how often I had to cast. 9 in HP gives you the full 10 pips with Men+HB, which worked fine for me as the only degen is from the front mob group and they release by the time you get to the boss. Two rounds of SoJ does the trick unless he gets lucky and interrupts Ignorance. Just noticed that the OP puts 3 in axe for the ffs. Will have to try that.

Edit -- if you go with ignorance no axe mastery, so I won't be able to try that.

Anyway, since it took so long for him to drop one for me I got to tweak numerous times -- maybe it'll help someone else. Thanks again to those above for the idea/guide.

2nd Edit -- Went one more time before bed and he dropped it again, 2 times in a row. lol

Thanks for sharing, this is my build, he goes down in 2-3 SoJ usually.

SoJ
Spear of Light
Scourge Healing
HB
PS
Blessed Aura
Mending
Bathazar's Spirit

Healing Prayers: 9
Smithing Prayers: 16
Protective Prayers: 9
Divine Favor: 13

I just tried to outdamage his heals with Scourge Healing and Spear of Light, works nicely (Blessed Signet isnt needed if you just want to kill the boss)

Btw, ten tries and still no shield
