Build talk:Team - 2 Man FoW Farm

 * Yes this would work. Will try it out later. However will be derpy as fuck, maybe add a splinter hero or something. --  PermaSwag    19:06, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Nah no need for splinter, if tank pings a good target and vos spikes like he should its all good. Adding a hero will lower drops tooTerra Zero 19:31, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah but you are going to need people who are not the average GuildWars players at the moment to actually be able to ping xD--  PermaSwag    09:06, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

To clarify, this is normal mode right? Cɥıǝɟʇɐıu Alǝx 09:29, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Me and Minion worked out yes it is Normal Mode. Take too much damage in HM without a Grail.--  PermaSwag    09:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I did it in HM and it worked fine, although i took mental block and popped an apple, corn and cookie. But i guess you could be more offensive in NM with taking GDW on both the tank and vos. Terra Zero 12:11, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Seeing as in Nm and Hm obby shard drops are the same, save money gogo NM--  PermaSwag    22:01, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Why?
What are the benefits of doing this over a simple FoWSC? I mean i dont play much so prices/knowledge of how many people do FoWSC still may be wrong, but presuming BUs are still ~4k ea thats 2k each per run, when you could just pay 1k each and do the same roles in a fowSC which kills more stuff, at a similar pace, and almost guarantees an end chest, i just dont get it.--Dont Tell Dave 22:44, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unless you run t1, you're lucky if you end up with 3 shards in a normal fowsc, while this can easily result in 4/5 shards each if done correctly. If you clear forge, you kill way more than the main team of a T2 manlyway, using only 2 players as opposed to 6.Terra Zero 23:04, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Really this can be very profitable, I did a full run yesterday and in total we got 13 shards, 1 sapphire and 1 ruby, and we popped just one bu. Terra Zero 11:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Add one more person (bonder with splinter) and you can do all of FoW). Did this with a friend and actually completed FoW :) In normal mode, but seriously we got 30 shards total which, to me, is at least more promising than a fail PuG.
 * /Applauses. I haven't tried this yet but considering the idea was brought in July... I never thought that FoWSC would die even after GW2 release. I used to do a minimun average of 3 runs per day...and these days (as of October 2012) ToA is more empty than HA. A farm by two players is all we could need to exploit the market with shards going for 8~9ks. I have read other's comments bringing a third party to reduce rez scroll expense, I share that opinion even if that would reduce my drop rate. Whoever feels to do this and needs a partner send me a pm. I used to do MT drunkway daily. [[Image:User_Yoshida_Keiji_Signature.jpg|19px]]Yoshida Keiji talk 12:48, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan. Jai, a few friends, and myself tried rolling RTL spikers in fow, damage was ok and it was certainly a fun playstyle, teleporting from group to group like ninja-rapists. [[Image:They.jpg|36px|link=User:They]] 13:41, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Without Bu

 * Looks funny, you might want to take the effort of making the skill bars though=) But you don't have any shutdown for cleanup and the Vos has kinda weird attributes you sure it has enough spiking power? Terra Zero 13:54, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

GWD is not necessary
Replace it for ebsoh, more useful ;) =) ... User:Elba Lazo
 * Already there... Terra Zero 14:08, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Why? (part 2)
If you read the comments above in the "Why" section, I agree with what they are saying. Why do this over a simple FoWSC especially if it requires cons (bu)? I am weary of any farm that requires cons. True, you can get Obsidian Shards, but you would likely get the same amount in a FoWSC run since half of the team splits. There are also other solo builds out there that farm for Obsidian Shards. Mozo (talk) 02:27, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I suppose the justification of this is that it works with just 2 players rather than 8 and (I reckon?) has better overall results than the solo farms. --Krschkr (talk) 10:15, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
