Guild Wars Necro/Monk Halcyon Job Farming (Hard Mode)

[IntrinsicPalomides]

If only this still worked this way /dream it's horrible now their KD skill is working plus nothing but arse awful drops so far.

[baseballstar084]

Does this still work i would love to no

[Ievolovel]

Is FoW still the best gear? Talked to a friend that still plays and he said there's new gear, but FoW is still the hardest/most expensive to get.

[Ievolovel]

Fuck I haven't played GW in forever... I played N/Mo.

I got my FoW set and all the other armor sets and quit before any of the xpacs came out.

I quit WoW and want to get back into GW, but I don't remember ANYTHING...

:( sucks. I want to get ready for GW2.

[XxSymorghxX]

Can't be more possible Ele Kill u

[MeisterProtter]

nice video, but why don't you kill your self at the beginning, its much faster?

have a look at my video if you don't know what i mean.

[fich01]

nope, it doesn't

since reckless haste doesn't really increase their attack speed in HM.. it's already that high

the last skill is defile enchantments btw

also, if you have more kurzick then luxon faction you can just die outside zos shivros and spawn right next to the assassins

[Snipler]

Ah nice, gj!

I have a small suggestion and a question =)

Suggestion: You might wanna add Reckless Haste to quicken the kill =)

Question: You use the mini trick to keep from getting KD'd by Horns of the Ox?

[thunder22700]

no u can still farm it this way, cause iron palm only knocks u down if ur hexed or suffering form a condition, so Mo/N or N/Mo are fine with iron palm

[ch0c0n00b]

This farm no longer works becuase of iron palm which is a touch skill, it is only possible via ele or warr farming.

[SalamandraTheNinja]

I'm pretty sure I'm continually getting hit by Iron Palm in this video. It only does 5 damage each time and doesn't knock me down because I'm not suffering from a Hex or Condition.

[kacbubnjar]

@SalamandraTheNinja

But how do you avoid being knocked down by horns of the ox?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

@kacbubnjar I'm pretty sure that their skills have changed since the video was released. Originally, it didn't have Fox Fangs and instead had Black Lotus Strike (back when it was an off-hand attack). As there are no enemies other than Luxon Assassins, there was nothing to apply the hex to make Black Lotus Strike able to hit, and so it could never hit you with anything other than auto-attacks and Iron Palm.

Now, you'd need to replace Defile Enchantments with Dwarven Stability or something.

[Klapperskalle]

its still possible. iron palm brings like 5dmg/hit

[FreakyDidoo]

What's that song??

I love it!

Plz tell me the name of that song.

[Davizbak]

The song

System of a Down - Attack

[potatoe10]

is the song from system of a down

[Glenn458]

yea

[go2google22]

u get the -50 ceasta from a quest in ascalon called cities of ascalon

[karegankun]

what's song name?

[mrrv1122]

ATTACK! by system of a down lol :D

[Dagon890]

wow youre good in this! =P

[BusterTheNuclear]

I'm impressed that they are not running away when they are 1/3 of their HP :P gratz

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Yeah, it's because of those stairs. They'd run away if I was standing in the open, but because they're standing on those stairs, for some reason they can#t manage to run away. I also need to attack the one with SS on because he would stop attacking and just fail to run away if I didn't.

[Dagon890]

why don't the assassin harm her? they just take 0000000

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Because I use Protective Spirit, which takes damage down to 5, and then either Shield of Absorption or Shielding Hands, which takes damage down to 0.

[Dagon890]

i have Protective spirit, but if i fight, they take me normal although i have PS on! =( so how?

[Dagon890]

SOOO, you are a 55hp necro?!?!

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Yes.

[Dagon890]

soooo, if i dont have prophesis i CANT become a 55 because of the grim cesta that gives u a scribe, as a reward for a quest that has -50hp

[Hxlpmpf]

No you can buy it of a player. But you will need some of the proph skills

[Dagon890]

wow ok, but if i dont buy it from a player, i can just get it in proph.? oooo and in what city is that get that quest?

[HeroElem]

Wow, i wish my SS killed enemies that fast.

[wolfpatld]

how do we go in hard mode?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Complete the story on at least one character.

[Dagon890]

when they mean hard mode THEY MEAN HARD MODE! Oni become like level 43 or something close! and MANTID DRONES OUTSIDE SHING JEA MONASTERY BECOME LEVEL 23!! or sometimes 25

[Glenn458]

lvl43 ?? lol

the max in lvl GW is 32 and that are for bosses like shiro in HM

[Hxlpmpf]

Onis are lvl 30

[Dagon890]

yea sorry, when that i was a total noobie =D, excuse the past noobie! ya i know lvl 32 are far closing the game story bosses, like Shiro or the NF boss something destroyer... ooo and the squid boss in factions...=D so sry excuse the past noobie=D

[Glenn458]

i know they are lvl 30 but i am saying that lvl32 is only for bosses in HM like shiro

[Deathbylaughing]

Must be a SOAD song...Love it! Nice video too!

[Pl0h3k]

it is: Attack

[lumbomaster]

way if i do this i always get killed by the elementalist and mesmers and u not ?

[vengefulacolyte1]

You need the quest "The Halcyon Job".

If you don't have this quest in your log then they will be a mix of luxon professions, not just assassins.

[RJ294]

it it better to have mark of pain in the last slot, just group them all up, put both hexes on one assassin, and start attacking with your totem axe... 3x faster....

[SalamandraTheNinja]

I suppose that would work, although the amount of time it takes isn't a problem anyway, and all the other assassins would be dead before the one you're attacking. There would still be that one to deal with for the same amount of time as with this... so it's not really any quicker at all.

[88MadKingGeorge88]

can you do this monk necro ?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Yes, it just kills them a little slower.

[hunterwithin]

Jw is the quest redoable or you have to ambandon it?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

The video doesn't show me completing the quest, I just do that part of it then rezone, so I never complete it.

[RJ294]

yep

[eragon5612]

where do u get the mission the halcyon job

[dainivek]

u can get the mission in cavalon from the luxon standing near the npcs

[Glenn458]

i ran the same build with 12 curses and 12 protective and they kill me when i had protective spirit and shielding hand equiped :o how u take 0 dmg i do excatly the sale as you and they hit me 33 continue so they kill me

[Glenn458]

i dit it 7 times and always they kill me

[SalamandraTheNinja]

You have to have Prot Spirit, Shielding Hands, and Shield of Absorption. You didn't mention the last one, so I'm not sure you brought it.

And you need a 20% enchantment mod.

Make sure to cast Shielding Hands after Prot Spirit.

[Glenn458]

well, yea i take a little bit dmg with protective spirit and shielding hands and thne i cast shield of absorption whne shielding hands is running out and then i got protective spirit and shield of absorption on me and thne they kill me (my protective prayers are 12)

[SalamandraTheNinja]

...Do you actually have 55hp?

[Glenn458]

is 55 hp needed for protective spirit and the other 2 protective skill's? cuz i have +... health

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Yeah. It's a 55hp build. 105 would probably work too, but isn't preferable.

[Glenn458]

oh i see it's for the 3 enchant's so if i got 55 like u then i take 0dmg probably. thy a lot m8

[BelowZero16]

o ok thank you and nice vid

[BelowZero16]

like the shield of absorption only last 6 secs and recharge in 10 secs?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

That's why you alternate between Shielding Hands and Shield of Absorption. And remember the 20% enchantment mod.

[BelowZero16]

how do your enchantments last longer ?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

20% enchantment mod.

[wolf187]

i love this farm u can 1hp farm it its awesome they hit 00000000 lol

[Karelmans]

u cant farm 1 hp cuz prot spirit cant handle that - u die.

[westpfelia]

nice vid

great song: attack by system of a down

[ymmijjohnsson]

Shield of Absorbtion can't i find in wiki

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Typo. Shield of Absorption.

[jesseslave]

shit music good video

[grishnakh7]

A 55 set, with probably 15/16 curses and high protection, around 10/11 rest in soul reaping

[kekszikft]

Hi!

I ask a few question :)

Please write an armor and weapon combination!

Thank you in anticipation.

And the song is good :)))))

[yyyykkid]

armor doesnt matter the protection keeps the damage on 0 all the time

[midnightshadowdemon]

b/c on SoA and SH you can handle an infinetly large mob w/o taking any damage at all

[fabricelite]

what skills you needed?

this is awesome!

pls say the skills

[spille1234]

There are no elementalists or monks.

You need the quest Halcyon Job, which u get from the captain near the Xunlai in cavalon.

[SalamandraTheNinja]

If you follow the route on the video, you only aggro Assassins... unless it's been updated recently.

[mattiad]

There are elementalist and monks

[mattiad]

But necromancer pull out my enchantments!!!

People pull out enchantments!!

What to do???

[SalamandraTheNinja]

It's outside Boreas Seabed, so you need to have got to the Jade Sea area.

[ErikMm5]

how far is this place in factions?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Video quality isn't good? Welcome to youtube.

Curses: 16 (12+3+1)

Protection Prayers: 12

Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit, Blessed Aura (It's actually pointless, use Watchful Spirit), Protective Spirit, Shielding Hands, Shield of Absorbtion, Spiteful Spirit, Defile Enchantments.

[Oh0The0Horror]

awesome song

nice build

good job

5

yea.

[mattiad]

write your build please.

video quality is not good

[SalamandraTheNinja]

System of a Down - Attack

[satisfactionalchik]

song?

[SalamandraTheNinja]

The Halcyon Job

[Smoooththumper]

Do you have to have a quest to make all the sins appear?

[Smoooththumper]

Too bad Spoil Victor wasn't like SS.

Great vid.

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Well... it is the build that works best on these -_-

And SS takes full advantage of the attack speed of assassins with a constant IAS, and locusts fury.

[Zerfl]

Wow!

I meant, boring! People can't do anything else than 55/105 hp.

Old build, sucks.

The only positive thing is: Music+Spot!

[SalamandraTheNinja]

Defile Enchantments. Although I didn't use it in this, sometimes the other assassins are left with about 10 health, so I just cast it once to kill the rest.

[GWakatosh]

what other necro skill were you using besides the SS?

I just could tell it out since all the necro skills are pretty dark to see, lol.

[simmsman413]

good stuff niice one!

[zqa20]

V nice 5 star
