User:Xiay/Super sliver Boss Farmer

This build is made for killing bosses in Normal mode or preferably Hard mode if you have it. It Works by adding Damage boosts to Sliver Armour. This coupled with the increased attack speed from enemies in Hard mode will dispatch bosses swiftly whilst staying basically invincible from shadow form. This is a great way to farm Green Weapons or Elite and Normal Tomes. This build can also solo the Raptor cave killing 25-30 raptors and the boss in around 2mins in Hard Mode. The Monolith Temple in the Sulfurous Wastes is a simple farming spot. Also the first area of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings can be farmed for ectoplasm.

Equipment

 * Armor - Shadow arts mask with +3 shadow arts rune. The rest if the amour should have attunment runes and radiant insignia
 * Weapons - Two Weapon sets is generally best:

Set one - Your main Set - A weapon with +20% longer Enchantments and +5 energy. A Totem Axe is a common weapon for this slot. An Earth Scroll (or other offhand with 12 energy) This gives high energy but also 4 pips of energy Regen.

Alternative Set one - Fervorborn Staff

Set two - Your very High Energy Set - The same weapon with an earth scroll that gives 12 energy +15 energy -1 energy regeneration. Use this set to cast one last spell or keep up shadow form if you messed up.

Optional third weapon - Longbow - This may be handy in some areas to pull more aggro without loosing those attacking you already.

Usage
Select your boss or target. Put shadow form up using the first 3 skills and keep it up. Walk up to the boss aggroing as many other enemies as possible to help power sliver amour. Stand next to the boss and use skills 4 -> 7. With a little luck Sliver Armour will have killed the boss before it wears off. Put shadow form up one last time and re cast your damage skills which were recharged upon the bosses death. This will kill a few others. Now grab your drops and Zone. Repeat as necessary.

Counters And Solutions

 * Un-targeted Enchantment removal - Chilblains (if allies are near) or Signet of Disenchantment. Cover enchantments may help.
 * Being out healed. Try adding Deep Wounds from "Finish Him!"
 * Point Blank Area of effect Spells like Double Dragon etc from Elementalists or Chilling Victory etc from Dervishes. To Counter these use health regeneration and or Extra amour from Shadow Sanctuary of Shadow Refuge. you can also dodge the second double dragon by moving back.
 * Signets like Signet of Judgment. Heal any damage from these or take anti Knock down if the interrupt is a problem.
 * Touch Spells like Headbutt from Warriors or Vampiric Bite etc from Necromancers. Heal these using Shadow Sanctuary of Shadow Refuge etc.
 * Sliver Armour not hitting the boss. Sliver Armour will normally target the boss however if it doesn't you may have to recast shadow form and try again until it does. Make sure you are in Melee range of the boss and where possible try to get him on his own. It seems that if you strike the boss with a weapon (staff or melee) just before casting sliver armour the boss will become the target of the spell (this may be due to having the lowest % of health)

Variants
Adjust the last skill according to the boss.
