It’s a GW player that has used A/R Crit Barrage with different setups for WoC missions to give you an idea of what is more meta nowadays:) Including a lot of different player builds too for other professions

Ended up running something different. Worked great, prob highest dps build besides Soul Taker dagger + Dark Aura. Can post builds and templates tomorrow

Hi, I tried to replicate, but i dont know if i got everything correctly, can you post codes?

Hey sorry, I’ll try to get it done for you tomorrow

Expertise might be useful for ritualists as Expertise decreases the energy cost of rituals (including rit ones). However, in that sense using a staff would be better; staff has 20hsr general and a 40/40 set would only have 20hsr for one specific attribute

Just hit me up ig or pm if that isnt enough

You can calculate it yourself. Just check the wiki for total amount of mobs + check bosses (they give more factions). Then x10 for normal mobs and 100 or 250 per boss. Cant recall from the top of my head.

As for efficiency, these zones will be the fastest way to get factions (even with heroes they take less time, even more so with a good hero setup).

Price-wise depends fully on profession. Mesmer for example will be the most expensive to gear (since everyone wants mesmer mercs:p)

Latest thought of my brain:

I noticed my brain did an oopsie on the mesmer attributes. But was thinking of changing it up a bit anyways

An auto attack machine (esp with 33% IAS) combined with a fun hero setup:

Vers good times!! Are you using Cons and heroe Group?

Yes I use cons and pcons. Some of the vqs I have posted screens of the builds I used.

Tyvm:p I like to call myself a build master 😜 some will agree, some will disagree haha. I enjoy the theorycrafting and thinking about what would work with what. If you need help or anything just hit me up^^

Or.... Should I run this for the Ranger... It adds either heals, energy management or holy damage. Plus the other benefits from the Avatar skills (armor, heal etc). And since the new mods exist, this is now actually doable Idk if BU also reduces the set cd time for the Avatar skills (if anyone knows, otherwise I'll find out myself)

Or more something like this:

If you want to do it without getting armor infused, you’ll need to bring heroes and flag them to fight and stay at a distance:p (I have done it this way once xd)

I'm mostly leaning towards the sin tbh, it seems to do amazing damage; with pcons/cons and Shadow Theft you will hit 20 Critical Strikes and 20 Dagger Mastery (21 actually, but it's either this or CS with 1 too much xd) and 20 Air Magic.... Doesn't that just sound amazing?

Alrighty, back to the drawing board.

So: I have been playing a setup of R (player) 1xR 6xP (heroes).

Conclusion is that I can't handle the slowness of the playstyle once you fight something with a good block/blind/anti-physical. Just something that never bothered me before (after 10 GWAMMs and even a GWAMM paraway, I did try to use as many new mods as I could so maybe that's why it wasn't as great xd). So I have come up with a few new player builds (some old ones returning just for the sake that I can't improve them xd).

The ideas:

Warrior: just smack shit and it will die. ezpz

Ranger: Apply Poison (+ Withering Aura) for Reap Impurities

Necromancer: Sacrifice health with AoE damage on top for big deepers (note; might require more healing from heroes:P)

Elementalist: build idea from Krschkr (dropped Elemental Lord for Air of Superiority)

Assassin: Big time crit dagger boii or gurll (with +5 Expertise for less energy pressure from Unsuspecting Strike)

Dervish: Avatar of Lyssa for big time ench spam combined with Aura of Holy Might

And I wonder why I don't chestrun anymore.... QQ and ofc all had trash runes/insig

Alright, so for the cons version I would run these attributes. I tried getting their main attributes to 15 (+4 HR +1 Conset = 20).

I have done the calcs below, so check it out and enjoy the madness

Will get that to you tomorrow. In bed now and brain wont cooperate:p

That and extra damage. If you want more variation such as “only one build once” just let me know.

Cons-version:

Non-cons version:

Alright, thanks for the reply^^

Let me know if you plan to use atleast a BU or not (will impact skill decisions etc^^). Can also make a cons and non-cons version and u can decide:p

Alright, what’s your playstyle? Do you use cons/pcons? As little heal as possible or just want it safe enough? Resses or ress scrolls?

I’ll make you a setup or a few different options somewhere next week. About to head to a bday:)

With HR you can literally do whatever you want. Esurge+bone minions, Signet of Illu with /Mo with smiting or /N with minions/death nova/curses hexes. Fully depends on what u want. Looking for more damage, more variation?

I guess new skins should be added to this aswell, most likely the OS variants, glacial blade and glacial blades will prob still be worth something down the line too

Perfect focus drop :p

Came to play some sin in Codex Arena just to notice 2 skills (Moebius and Impale) can't be played bc there are no dual attacks this week. Also, deadly haste (lower cast&recharge on half ranged spells) has no half ranged spell to apply to.
Never knew skill rotations could include skills that couldn't be played.

Yup, Codex can be whack sometimes, it is a fun place to make "good" builds but sometimes stuff like this limits it... well completely xD

Quote from Mr. Clean(-Value)

todays a good day. Only Ancient Scythe left for the complete Ancient-Collection

Nice set! Scythe has to be 300g though 😜

Any chance we can now have HCT20 SR on an OS Staff?

small QQ (it's the flame skin, not just a random fiery mod)

Quote from Baklawa

One more: paraway using new mods !

Get ready to snipe because things will blow up

Player can take any mod, either +5Str or +5SR, not sure how energy will be. Probably good enough xd

PI Paras need +5FC, all others I'd give +5SR since all builds are quite energy heavy

Quote from Pleikki

Someting about unid prenerfs is so exciting, bought this for xx arms few years back, wonder what it beholds xD Dual vamp blue maybe?? some prenerf mods? who knows :p

Dv or dz you could test since the fiery mod is set:D maybe even +1-3 energy? Xd

Bow SR mod 1a

Tbh I feel like they added the “common” new skins to the more popular farma, then certain other mobs probably got the “rarer” drops. But that’s just speculation

Quote from Gentleman Xander

I reflected the moonlight off my waxed butt to ensure all the luck would be concentrated in one moment. Jokes aside, it dropped from a beetle in NF.

If it was a rain beetle in Garden of seborhin it might have been level 24, since both 20 and 24 spawn there apparently.

It was not in the Garden of Seborhin;) It dropped from a Rock Beetle which only spawns lvl20 in the map I got it in

Quote from Red Fireball

Gentleman Xander give us details! what skin, what mob, favor, waht build, full moon, in what direction were you looking, did you bring any sort of luck totem?

You can just have the NM version of the quest and turn on HM and it’s all the same^^

The HM quest doesn't allow you to enter it in NM so why would the NM quest allow you to enter in HM ?

I’m no expert but I’ve been farming it HM with the NM 🤷🏻‍♂️

It goes from 0-14 for me. Some runs 0, most runs 3-6 and some runs 7-14:p
