Guild Wars Elementalist Gates of Kryta Farming (Hard Mode)

[scarredlotus1]

can elemental attunement be replaced by something like shockwave?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

@scarredlotus1 Not really. Then your only form of energy management would be Earth Attunement, which wouldn't be nearly enough to maintain casting.

great job !

[Mirrano17]

template code pls? ^^

[FableScreams]

Yay! Skill Point! lol

[ahbodagabogada12]

Nice! Song sounds like something from N64 or so but very good i need to get that elite >:( But i will ! thx once more

[SalamandraTheNinja]

It's from Final Fantasy 9.

[SushiFish5]

nicely done!!! =))

[undeadmedium]

nice 4 an ele farm. Mystic Regeneration is in so many builds now, its just too good! gj  :D

[Spartan21111]

Wow slow as fuck

[jackassicecream]

well dude theres like 100 people

[SalamandraTheNinja]

The main problem is scatter, I probably could have made this a bit quicker by not going for the ranged ones first.

[jackassicecream]

whats the build?

[rominghunter]

all down to someone's choice in game, what someone likes i have played both i don't like WoW but thats my personal opinion if someone wants to play WoW be my guest just dont judge me if i wanna play GW

[Byarukis]

nicely put =) thumbs up for you =)

[jad653112]

ok the people that say WoW suck seem to not know there facts past what a level 15 would know. and same goes for the ones who say Guild Wars sucks. I have played both games and i really enjoy both of them. If one looses its luster ill switch to the other and after im bored with that ill go back to the 1st one.

[twistedmelno5]

well said, no one can really make decisions unless hey have 80's in wow and 20's in GW, i too enjoy both very much.

[Andyfraggedya]

I just don't like WoW cos of the grindyness of it and the bad graphics, but hey, just my opinion

[jad653112]

WoW isnt sapozed to look like real life and if you play games just for the graphics thats sad. Some people like grinding. To me grinding is easy and takes my mind off of the real world.

When I become bored as i said before ill switch to guild wars for a while then play my monk.

[Andyfraggedya]

Duh it's not supposed to look like RL...u got elves n stuff...

but imo if a game doesn't have decent graphics it's not worth playing.

and using Griding as a way of relazing is in fact sad.

[jezze65]

not bad....! :D

[benjack4321]

this is why elemetalists rule every other prof

[jellytastesgood]

what Leet Move?

[ArkanePhantasm]

elemental attunement

[sam6555]

Get rid of attunements and mystic regen, and go /R with Meldrus Resilliance

[Verena1720]

are you kidding? i play WoW and guild wars and ive heard it on both. BTW wow's graphics really caught up to GW.

[lococris8]

na not really

they still suck

[TheSnow112]

atleast in WoW you can move vertically, you can fly, and can have more than 8 skills. but gw I think requires a lot more skill in pvp and pve. they're both great games, but the thing is WoW is the number one game in the world. so... you can't really say GW is better.

[MespeMeh]

u can its called an "Opinion"

[jEdeYeTrIcKs]

dude the 8 skills slot is for a thing called "Strategy" and "Intelligence" to create a well working build for yourself. Its so you cant mindlessly put a huge slab of skills on your bar...not that a wow player would know anything about that since wow is just a grind game.

[Unhallowlaw]

Guild Wars has 6 million units sold

WoW has 11.5 million

you know what has more then those numbers times together

Tetris at 70 million units sold, so your far from the number one game in the world right now

[DonLestaD]

ahah, touché

[soulshrine]

loooool, WoW is the number one selling game in the world yes, not number one game tho, number one game is opinion. that and if i had to give my opinion, well pretty much every single one of my friends that played wow don't anymore, and they are all diff type of people with diff tastes.

wow is a game that attracts many people, but of those people many get bored or dissapointed in it.

I personally think that if you checked the amount of active people on wow, eve online prob has more.

[ElementalHeroAMW]

Whats farming?? ive only played 2 mmos latale and maplestory and they dont use the word farming, if i can ask would somebody please reply to me about what it is, in a nice comment please or ill just reply ok and some nasty stuff thanks!

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Really, it's not used on any other MMO as far as I'm aware. A similar word that's used somewhat is grinding. It's the aquisition of something (money, equipable items, exp) by doing something over and over again (usually killing monsters).

[Unhallowlaw]

ive heard it in wow, gw, rs, eq, eq2 and lineage its basically a mmo term for killing a group of monsters repeatability for there drop or other item of value (like faction).

[MespeMeh]

basically covered it

[jEdeYeTrIcKs]

yes exactly except in guild wars its a little more tricky to "farm" since your skill selection is very limited and everything needs to be vital for you to succeed.

[Unhallowlaw]

ya if your trying to farm hard mode you find out quickly that things like hex and condition removal are key and take a large chuck of your damage dealing workspace. In wow as a lock there was no sense of sacrifice i always had a pet whether i was demonology or not. On my ele i have to pick earth or fire magic and that makes a huge impact on my group role and how I'm playing. In gw your also constantly trying to create new builds that push your 8 skills and 200 points to the limit.

[Mk200114]

Yes, someone who gets it! I've been playing this game for 4 years now and it's always fun to try new combinations.

[pipemanjeffy]

@SalamandraTheNinja you're kidding right? farming has been used in every game since mmorpgs first existed. the act of repetitively killing things for loot

[SalamandraTheNinja]

@pipemanjeffy People do refer to farming in pretty much every MMO, yes. But in many MMOs, the word farming is largely superseded by the word grinding.

[blasternl33]

what does those mobs drop like?

[Kenmeister]

nice I just tried this, it works!

[ndeed1116]

still works

[Kenmeister]

does this build still work?

[elijah781]

i really enjoyed ur video r u a World of warcraft fan or a guild wars fan?

[FishboneHUN]

And when will they nerf Sliver Armor? That would be nice.

[legeul]

reply to FishboneHUM..... well actualy there isnt any point in saying who i am replying becasye u am replying....but i hate when my replys dont apwar as replys... *ahem* i am good now...

when will they nerf your mouth? that would be nice XD

[FishboneHUN]

Ok, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just think that it's a bit unfair, that an elementalist can't farm well without this one skill. Unfair with the elementalists, and unfair with those, who don't have the Factions. (Well, I am an elementalist and I don't have Factions. :D )

[Light4494]

Whats the point of Elemental Attunement? Shouldn't you replace it with something like Shockwave or something?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

...So you don't run out of energy. Since this build uses dervish as a secondary, it doesn't have access to any ridiculous energy gaining abilities like Storm Chaser or Balthazar's Spirit.

[Light4494]

Oh ok

[Skapievlees]

Nice Build

[rajhah]

A mystic regen build still works for this farm (maybe takes a little longer now), but the only real difference is you only get 9 pips of regen instead of 10 if you keep your enchants up. The only thing that's really difficult is energy management, but with a dual attune build, that's hardly a problem.

[kiega123456789ooo]

this build wont work anymore, 'cause they super nerfed mystic regen. hate it.

[Shietai]

wow it was raining 25s lol i myself am a fire elementalist (E/Mo) from factions and was wondering if u knew any real good fire skills if you do it would be great if u could post them on my youtube page thanks great vids btw :D

[NeoIsNoMore]

Great vid and build! however E/Mo is faster for HM...

[abschmatzer]

song not music^^

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Final Fantasy IX soundtrack, "Messenger of Destruction"

[abschmatzer]

whats the name of the first music

[shadowfox565]

hey salamandra i tried this build it works great and i also found that i could replace crystal wave with the dervish enchants which deal damage on casting them and they also added to the regen. My only problem is that i have trouble staying alive when recasting stoneflesh aura it its recharge wasnt halved, that second in between is a killer lol. So i was wondering what green staff you would recommend with this build to help me out thanks. Love all your videos dude you rock

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Galigord's Stone Staff. It specifically isn't necessary (although it is perfect), but you always need a 20% enchantment mod and 16 earth magic. You still need to be quick at recasting it, but there's no down time.

[shadowfox565]

ok thanks alot i have the 16 earth magic i'm gonna try to mod my own staff ill try to get an earth staff from a collector....how much do you think i should pay for a staff wrapping of enchanting??.......1 guy was gonna sell one for 12k but i didnt think i should buy it at that high of a price

[1020dr]

wut are the skills

gz

[0sprite0]

god i cant farm ne thing now days w/o getting a whole bunch of crap which equals about maybe 1.5k per run

[shibbyrogue]

damn at 1 point u got 1 hell load of debuffs on u

[UnnXandros]

Maybe removing one Crystal (wave or tenai's) and adding balth spirit?

[UnnXandros]

(Forgot to add, including of course, HB)

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Degen's too bad for healing Breeze. Seriously, it's like 15 degen. With healing breeze, it'd still be like 8.

[UnnXandros]

Ya, alrdy tested ur build (adding Radiation Field instead of Crystals and back to Crystal Wave), ur build is fine. ^.^, Kinda slow for the first group, but effective the rest of the way.

[lxlgwaddictlxl]

so i watched this video and found out you only need 6skills to farm here and its alot faster then you farm

sandstorm,stoneflesh,armor of earth,silver armor,and earth attument 12 energy and 16 earth i was able to kill em all in about 2min

[SalamandraTheNinja]

That's 5 skills. Also, you'd very much die by degen... although Mystic Regen could be tacked on. I'd imagine energy may be a problem.

That might work. I did consider Sandstorm, but decided against it due to (obvious) scatter, and relatively high armour of the enemies. Especially the rangers, who would take much less damage than stated.

[mahaogfsdhfdsh123]

i like the song from FF9 :)

[MrKotte]

waste of a elite skill, go with glyph of lesser ene instead, and use it each time it recharges. With Earth Attunement and that glyph you can alone keep up 4 enchantments ( lasting apx 20 seconds/each ) and still have above 90% energy. I use it alot... I also tried this spot with this build successfully:

Earth Attunement

Armor of Earth

Stoneflesh Aura

Glyph of lesser Energy

Glyph of Renewal

Sliver Armor

Mystic Regeneration

Optional

[garymofo2]

yeah your right i tried it and it didn't work very well

[garymofo2]

It is also possible to do this farm faster by switching armor of earth with stone striker and Elemental attunement for Glyph of Renewal and Earth attunement for Manatra of Earth. Also use the geomancers insignia to gain armor from stone striker.

[SalamandraTheNinja]

I'm obviously aware of the synergy of Stone Striker and Mantra of Earth (I use it on some of my other videos)... however, there's a good reason it wouldn't work at all here. If you have mesmer as your secondary, there's no way to deal with the extremely large degen. You'd die rather quickly.

[bobbybs]

how do u get past the first ranger boss... hes always interrupting like my most important skills (the aura and the attunements...)

[SalamandraTheNinja]

You don't fight any bosses. All you fight is the two groups that run towards you at the start, and these behind the house.

[FishboneHUN]

I hate Silver Armor. I won't buy Factions for only 1 skill. That should be core.

[jrdonutmovies]

don't just buy factions for silver get it for the game and be able to pwn shrio. and for other things like alliance battles etc

[NaamesBm]

buy it for all skills, and another campaign

[mrsnowywaffle]

55 monk is alot easier but kudos for doing it on an ele...its easy on 55 cuz shield of judgment does x2 dmg

[DemonKite]

Nice!

im getting GW pretty soon cant wait!

[SalamandraTheNinja]

I don't believe you on the not running part. There seems to be no way to prevent the running that occurs in HM on melee attackers on low health, when there are at least three other melee attackers. Even getting to and staying on low health (not possible here), which prevents fleeing due to AoEDoT, does nothing against this type of fleeing.

Sure you weren't on Normal Mode? Because... they removed it entirely from there.

[necroar666]

nah, i prefer using my 600hp monk for this 1, goes way faster, and they dont run away, still nice job on this 1

[simbe96]

Lvl 20?

[mikkydayo]

send me build plz and thank you

[AmonSiros]

mikkydayo you noob, why dont you think of your own friggin build you wont be able to play as well as salamandra becuz he prolly built this build himself with skills he is comfortable with and knows how far to take it till its too much and necroar666 post a video or stfu thnx

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Yeah, you could... although that area would not be nearly as good. Firstly, the Necrid Horseman would do a lot of damage... Desecrate Enchantments is armor ignoring and would do *a lot* of damage with this many enchantments. Rangers also have high elemental armor. And if you decided to stray away from the ranger groups, you might have Monks and Elementalists to deal with... Elementalists have Aura of Restoration, and monks can obviously heal.

[blake12345678901]

also could you use this in bergen hotsprings with the rangers?

[blake12345678901]

so is this in the mission or what

and if it is how far?

[matsbrom]

rofl those guys got issues, just check the active effects in the upper left corner, spamming with disease and all that shit..

[fatkidmarty]

ooo this song is it ff8 or 9

its ff9 right

love it

you get 5 stars

[SalamandraTheNinja]

If you get killed by the monsters before getting behind the house, you'll easily be killed by the monsters shown on this video...

[wesleyleenstra]

kan u make a vid or a picture from the map about comming there because i die evreytime i try

[SalamandraTheNinja]

I killed the other monsters too, as killing them about doubles the size of the spawn shown on the video.

[wesleyleenstra]

hi salamandra i have a question

when i saw u vid i was like omg i try thad too

but now i am trying it i cant come to the space where you are did u run pass the othermonsters or did u killed them too  thnx

[rodriguesorejuela]

btw, just 1 tip. they dont scatter so much when u stand more to the back, cant really explain it. if ne1 could translate from dutch: voordat je het pad naar beneden helemaal af bent gelopen.

[rodriguesorejuela]

its at the place where you casted mystic regeneration with your monk vid.

[rodriguesorejuela]

salamandra ur the best! ive seen all your vids and theyre ways better than every1 else (including myselve)

too bad i cant make vids anymore but big respect to you!
