The Best Duo UW Farm ever!
This build is designed to farm with an Obsidian Flesh Tank and Famine Ranger in The Underworld for Globs of Ectoplasm or in The Foundry of Failed Creations for Titan Gemstone. It represents an efficient alternative to the 55hp Invincible Monk and is just as effective and simple to use.

I take no credit for the creation of the Ele Underworld Tank, I have simply written a good Ranger Famine build to compliment it and allow the Ele Tank to maintain Obsidian Flesh at all times. The UW farm simply takes too long coupling with an SS, and the nerfing of Dying Nightmares has led to problems with it's use. By using this combo it allows the original Ele Underworld Tank to be used in The Foundry of Failed Creations also. This combination also handles Coldfire Nights...you can basically aggro and kill everything you feel like as long as some melee creatures are hitting you. It's highly amusing XD! (imagine me flipping off Dying Nightmares right about now)

Obsidian Flesh Tank
[build prof=eleme/mesme energy=6+2 earthm=12+1+3 inspir=7 illusi=9][kinetic armor][stoneflesh aura][stone striker][mantra of earth][obsidian flesh][sympathetic visage][ancestors visage][aura of restoration][/build]

My Equipment

 * Armor with Blessed insignia's works fine.
 * Any axe or sword with +5 energy and +20% enchanting. A Totem Axe works perfectly.
 * Galigord's Stone Scroll is perfect for energy and added earth magic.

My Usage

 * See instructions at Archive:E/Me Underworld Tank for basic usage (credits to the original writer of this build!).
 * Please note that by using the basic build in conjunction with the Famine Ranger build listed below it is possible to maintain Obsidian Flesh with no gaps in activation time. This allows tanking against a broader ranger of enemies and the build has less of a squishy nature in the Underworld and The Foundry of Failed Creations.
 * You must wait for the Ranger to cast Quickening Zephyr before using Obsidian Flesh or there will be a gap in recharge time.

My Famine Ranger
[build prof=range/ritua expert=7+3 wilder=12+1+3 beastm=7+3 channe=8][serpents quickness][famine][quickening zephyr][symbiosis][edge of extinction][ancestors rage][splinter weapon][Troll Unguent][/build]

My Equipment

 * Radiant Armor with Superior Wilderness Survival rune and runes of attunement.
 * Expertise and beastmastery runes should be Minor at the least, superior is preferred.
 * A Staff with 15 or more energy. The Mindclouder is ideal with a possible +20 energy.

My Usage

 * Use Serpent’s Quickness followed by Quickening Zephyr, Symbiosis, and Famine. Maintain these spirits at all times.
 * Cast Edge Of Extinction when enemies are close to death.
 * Use Ancestors' Rage and Spinter Weapon, where energy permits, to support the Ele Tank and make quick work of larger groups.
 * Stay out of range of enemy aggro at all times.
 * The reason this works better than an SS support char is because it doesn't target enemies at all, causing no accidental aggro problems. I've seen other builds using poison arrows but they inherently lead to aggro issues and the Ranger puts him/herself at risk.  Having passive attack spells that target the ally only makes this rather idiot proof.

Variants

 * The last skill can be either Mighty Was Vorizun, Troll Unguent or Nightmare Weapon depending on what area is being farmed. Troll Unguent comes in handy in the Foundry of Failed Creations due to the degen caused by movement.

Duo Farming In DoA!
This build is designed to farm with another variant of the Obsidian Flesh Tank and a Ranger using Greater Conflagration. I’m at the beginning stages of testing this build combination around the DoA area, however so far it is very effective in The Foundry of Failed Creations to farm for Titan Gemstone. I wanted to come up with a slightly better version for farming this area…I’m a fan of simple builds! The reason this works more smoothly than my Famine Ranger/Obs tank combo is because you don't need a constant stream of melee enemies attacking the ele in order to do damage, making it more idiot proof.

Damaging Obsidian Flesh Tank
[build prof=eleme/mesme energy=8+2 earthm=12+1+3 inspir=10 ][kinetic armor][stoneflesh aura][mantra of frost][obsidian flesh][ward of stability][sliver armor][aftershock][aura of restoration][/build]

My Usage

 * Cast and keep up all enchantments, which is possible with a Ranger supporting with Quickening Zephyr. Be sure not to cast any of the longer recharge enchantments, like Obsidian Flesh, until Quickening Zephyr is active.
 * Run into aggro range and use Ward of Stability as enemies approach to prevent knockdown.
 * Cast Silver Armor and Aftershock whenever they are available and energy is permitting.
 * For those that don't immediately see the purpose of Mantra of Frost, with the Ranger using Greater Conflagration and Winter it means a greater proportion of damage will trigger Mantra of Frost and provide a steady energy return.

Greater Conflagration Ranger
[build prof=range/ritua expert=7+3 wilder=12+1+3 beast=7+3 channe=8][serpents quickness][quickening zephyr][greater conflagration][winter][Edge of Extinction][ancestors rage][splinter weapon][troll unguent][/build]

My Usage

 * Use Serpent’s Quickness followed by Quickening Zephyr, Greater Conflagration, Winter and Edge of Extinction. Maintain these spirits at all times.
 * Use Ancestors' Rage and Spinter Weapon as energy permits.
 * Troll Unguent is simply useful for moving around the Foundry area to set spirits without suffereng health degen.

Variants

 * If the Ranger is having energy issues then try swapping Ancestors' Rage for Mighty Was Vorizun. At level 4 it is maintainable under Quickening Zephyr and Serpents Quickness, giving the Ranger an additional 30 energy.  It should be noted, however, that by using this item spell the Ranger would loose the benefit of any energy buffs from held weapons.
