Build talk:E/A Obsidian Flesh Gloom Farmer

Can't get it to work
I keep trying this but I keep dying before I can cast all of my spells even in normal mode. I can reach the group ok, but after I cast Obsidian flesh and jump in, Meteor Shower takes sooo long to cast. Mozo (talk) 03:31, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * What's your lightbringer rank? I think this assumes max (though it's not stated anywhere on the page...) so the damage reduction can handle the autoattacks long enough to survive. -Toraen (talk) 17:57, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Normal mode with lightbringer rank 8 works for me. I only did three test runs but all of them succeeded. However, I didn't use the suggested equipment. I had aeromancer insignias (too lazy to fix this since a couple of months ago) and instead of the "proper" high energy set I used a standard 40/40 and high energy set fire magic. See here if you like. --Krschkr (talk) 00:27, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It must be my rank. I am only rank 4 on my ele at the moment. Mozo (talk) 05:44, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * "Should be replaced with a proper one (correct equipment, not getting rupted by a spear attack on a quartercast...) once "someone" gets a better lightbringer rank on his ele. ;)"


 * Now you are just taunting me :) Mozo (talk) 03:58, 30 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm not reluctant to resort to "violence" if a petty jab motivates you to great deeds. We could do some DoA with heroes the other day to level your rank, after doing a guardian + protector title rush for the mission books. Of course you'd have to play a backline role because, you know, you're an elementalist... ;) --Krschkr (talk) 21:37, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Slight variant
Thought I'd drop this variant on the talkpage since it works with decent success rate (80%) without any particularly special equipment + rubbish ping, and this is what I gave the great rating for. I assume if I had the gear for it then the video build would be equally good. [build prof=e/a firema=12+1+1 earthm=9 energy=9+1][Elemental Lord][Glyph of Elemental Power][Obsidian Flesh][Death's Charge][Meteor Shower][Lava Font][Lightbringer Signet][Bed of Coals][/build]

Usage is left to right, with a headpiece swap between Obsidian Flesh + Death's Charge (from earth +3+1 headpiece to fire +1+1 - I had the vaettir headpiece lying around already for the pointless few extra seconds of earth magic). - Chieftain Alex (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I got my lightbringer rank maxed. I can do it fairly consistently now.  I also tried the variant above but took a 12+1+3 fire set instead but took Lightbringer's Gaze over Lightbringer Signet.  However, after having done this a few times, I never got anything good from it.  No golds and no gemstones.  With it being normal mode and there being only slightly over a dozen enemies total, I don't believe much will drop.  Have you guys seen otherwise?  I also tried this in HM with a different variant and I can kill everything only after I am dead.  The last meteor shower kills them...Mozo (talk) 03:01, 25 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Per my voting comment; "I received 3 Tormented gemstones over the 10 runs" in normal mode, and it took maybe 45 minutes. Got 2 or 3 golds too.
 * Maybe my account gets more of the low RNG drops given that it's been disused for so long? - Chieftain Alex (talk) 10:44, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
