R/Mo Farming!

lol, the funniest thing is that u think the R/Mo build is good too, but actually all that makes it work is Monk, lol

All that makes any farming build is the Monk bit. When someone comes up with a non monk farming build - i'll pay more attention.

Congrats on this build though, sounds promising. Which drakes by the way?

Thanks, its mostly Monk but it works doesnt it? The whole purpose in it is just that it works for a Ranger in which case it means you dont have to make some new character to farm.

The Drakes are East out of Elona Reach then go South.

Thanks anyway guys

Mhhh.... Didn't they fix zealots fire to target only other allies ?

Anyway good vid

No, the fix to zealots requires it to target an ally, yourself included. Heal Party...no go, doesn't target. Zealots...doesn't set itself off. Guardian does though.

nice i want make the same

lol thats hilarious. i never new those drakes were so weak. anyway so have u tried this with griffs or trolls? and where is that spot? cuz i can never fidn a pak of drakes that close

Funny my Mo only use's R for Storm Chaser = /
and i only need to cast balths aura once; and no spaming of zealots fire

its too bad my guy fights 15+ monsters at once + a scroll of 3X XP

over 7K xp in a 2 min run


Build fixing time... You gunnna be the 55 build
Mark of Prot < Prot Spirit
Zealots Fire < Shield Of Judgement
Reversal of Fortune < Healing Breeze

no offence to u its a great thought but a build like this has been around for a bit. i used it before rancor got nerfed. i used it to solo 15+ griffons at a time tho

cool that u use it tho it makes rangers fun.

I have a R/Mo friend who farms using EoE. The only monk spell he uses is Symbol of Wrath. The rest is Ranger stuff. He kills about 20 grawl outside Port Sledge in 30 seconds, including run time and putting up his edge.

This one kills Drakes etc though very fast.

Been around for a while? Are you talking about a monk build? Apparently its like a monk build i've been told.

Silly Ranger - what people are trying to tell you is that this is not a Ranger farming build, as there's only one Ranger skill used. All your skill bar is Monk skills. The build used would be more effective as Mo/Ra. My friend's build, which uses 7 Ranger skills and 1 Monk skill works better as a Ra/Mo.

uhhhh..........A true Ranger farming build would involve traps. But if your trying to solo farm, monk skills are really the way to go. Ranger trapping is good, but not as fast as a solo monk. Monk primary would have been a better choice since you can take advantage of the monk runes.

Ah. I see what you mean.

But what would this topic be called then? Ranger Smiting build?

Yes, Monk would of been better as a primary BUT this is why I did this:

-Easy use.
-Cheaper than most Monk builds.
-Means you dont have to spend ages on creating a new character.
-It works.

The one in bold is the main point.

Most people dont have the time to start a new character and complete the game over again so this doesnt waste lots of your time. My Monk friend spent 50K on his monk and I have spent about 3K on mine - That 3K was spent on buying skills (The Yakslapper I found myself. So to me it cost nothing).

They are the main points on why this build is great for a Ranger. It may not be "Ranger" as such but if im using it with a Ranger surely it still is Ranger Farming?

I know a few things that would make this easier for you. Experiment if you like.

Replace Mark of Protection with Shield of Judgment (elite), which you can cap in mineral springs.

Reversal of Fortune are okay, but maybe try setting a Dust Trap, pull the drakes to the trap to blind them (you stand on the trap), and throw a healing breeze on yourself before they get there. You could drop Zealots Fire for Protective Spirit, since Shield of Judgement will do more damage + knockdown. Even if you dont have the superior monk runes to drop your hp, protective spirit will still do its job long enough to keep you alive, just recast it before it runs out. You could also you blind or dryders before the dust trap wears off to increase the length of blinding on the drakes. Just food for thought


Edit: You will only need to use the shield of judgement if blind wears off to give you moments of time to heal yourself or cast smiting spells. dont cast shield with blinding spells, lol.

I dont use any kind of defense skills for Energy purposes (Balthazaar's Spirit).

The more energy, the more spells, the more damage, and QS speeds them up meaning more and more damage.

Reversal will heal you and do damage (When used with Zealot's) Sheilding hands will reduce damage and do damage. Mark of Protection puts your health back up to full - Depending on how many you fight.

I would say this build works better with large amounts of enemys - That doesnt mean it cant kill small amounts

But is this a Ele? Is this a Monk? Is this a mesmer? Is this a Warrior?

No, its a Ranger. This has nothing to do with another other proffesion.

I think that most people know that a /Mo can farm, but this is one of the first Ranger/Monks that I've seen doing it, so therefore I'm offering my congratulations to the OP.

By the way, I can't get to the video for some reason. I click the link and it takes me to an upload page.

seems to me only people who complain are those ones not smart emough to make any kind of solo build work, its all just jealousy. so yeah its basically a monk with ranger stuck in front of it, at least its a bit different from the usual 105/55 build ( which im not knocking i have a 105 monk build that i use to tease hydras griffons and the like with ). the main thing is it works for silly traveller and he wanted to share that exp so why knock him for it. im currently working on a mesmer ranger build which i plan to use for pvp, pve and solo farming, no doubt that will be knocked and critiized too but hey if it works ( and im sure theres a solo build for every single combo out there whatever your char ) then im happy. if it doesnt work solo i still have a strong team and pve char and my monk to continue soloing..anyway gratz on something a bit diff with your ranger/monk build, just a shame the vid link doesnt work anymore

Thanks guys and sorry about the links :/ I re-uploaded them.

I will see what I can do about them.

Can people understand that this build is interesting for people who play ranger class ???

I only have one character cause i have no time to create monk or elem, so when i typed "ranger + farming" in google, i was really pleased to find this build.
Thanks to this build, i can farm with my only ranger character, so no need for me to create a new one.

People who criticized have only in mind the 7 monk skills needed for this build, or the idea that such a build can be easily imagined by looking at the other farming builds.
But these people don't think that poor boy like me have only one character (oh the noob !!!) and don't read all the messages which are on the numerous guildwars forum on the web (bouhhhhh the noob, bouhhhhh).

Silly ranger, i'm maybe the only one personn happy about this topic, surely cause i'm a noob, but i say a big : THX AND CONGRATS.

And now, THE BIGGEST NOOBY PART OF MY MESSAGE :

*i wonder if there is an efficient way to farm hydras. Indeed, 2 or 3 are easy to farm with your ranger (monk sorry) build, but when there are 4 or more hydras, they always interrupt my mark of protect or my balthazar aura cause one or two hydras are not close enough of me. Seeing your video would have been helpfull to understand but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.
*This rangmonk build needs only one ranger skill. So why do you need to have 9 points in expertise ??? Noob question isn't it ???
*Instead of using flint's fleshcleaver, what about using the collector focus item located outside augure rock (pardon my english, i'm a french noob) which is +20 nrgy, +15 nrgy if 9 in protect prayers, +30 health, -1 regen. And a collector smiting rod, located in droknar forge. Do you think this will be better ???
*And the biggest nooby question, cause i'm not motivated to search for myself (lol éh éh éh) : Can i find a collector giving a rod which increase protection prayers skills speed casting.

Sorry for people who don't agree with my opinion, thanks again for silly ranger, and all apologized to all for my bad english.
