User:Feydslynox/Sandbox/Temple Guardian Farmer

A setup capable of farming the 15 Temple Guardians of Tahnnakai Temple and the Ritualist boss Quansong Spiritspeak in Hard Mode, in 4 minutes (including the run!).

It uses Symbiosis (fueled by your enchantments) and bonds to pump your Dervish's tankiness while neutering your foes with both Visages and Famine. Recall is used just before the killing blow to teleport your heroes away from you, allowing the player (who stays alive with 358746hp thanks to Symbiosis!) to get all the drops.

Honestly, I think this abomination of a farming build might have potential. It can be tweaked for other areas (with other options like Mantra of Resolve or even things like a Vow of Strength/Mark of Pain spike or maybe Stoneflesh Aura for an absurd amount of damage reduction). With this, farming in areas long considered unfarmable could be possible !

Of course it could also just be some kind of Guild Wars-themed Rube Goldberg machine. Heh...

The loot table isn't that bad, Celestial Weapons, Granite, Dust and Elite Ritualist Tomes can be farmed here. It may not be worthy of its own public build page though.

Usage
Exit from Zin Ku Corridor into Tahnnakai Temple (explorable). Deactivate all your heroes' skills except Blessed Signet, "Incoming!", and "Fall Back!".

Run to the farming zone, north of Teinai's room, after the big wooden bridge.

Flag your Heroes in front of the Resurrection Shrine (use an individual flag for your Paragon hero so he stays here during the whole run).

Bond yourself. Have your Monk and Ranger heroes use Recall on your Paragon hero. Maintain Avatar of Melandru, Intimidating Aura, Mystic Regeneration. Note that the Temple Guardians have innate KD, cycle between IAU and DT before casting anything.

Walk through the red gate, aggro the single Temple Guardian just behind it, then run back to the little passage to the right of the stone ramp (don't climb it!), aggroing multiple Temple Guardians. Have your Monk and Ranger heroes follow you at a distance out of aggro range, maintaining the bonds.

Walk through the first little wooden bridge in Quansong's room, then flag your heroes halfway before that little wooden bridge and the ramp behind you, to your right, at a safe distance. Note that they must stay in range of your Paragon hero (flagged near the Shrine) or Recall will trigger. DO NOT AGGRO QUANSONG YET.

The little stone platforms here form a square. Walk counterclockwise through the 4 wooden bridges. After the first bridge (to your right), wait a little bit for IAU!, cast IAU! then move to the northeastern platform and quickly to Quansong's platform, balling everything. Two guardians may flee to the red gate, do not chase them. Run back to the first platform with your big ball, do the right wall block technique on the initial wooden bridge (the one not part of the square, near your heroes).

Cast Symbiosis (veeery important here, the key to surviving without bonds), EoE. Begin cycling your two Visages, cast Quickening Zephyr (try to cast an IAU! just after casting QZ so there is no IAU! downtime). Cycle your visages until you see the Temple Guardians not casting anything.

Drop Famine, keep cycling your visages (do not cast them simultaneously!), wait a little until you see the Temple Guardians losing HP. Open your minimap, use your "party" flag to the right of the rez shrine, then use both Recalls on your two heroes (so they will teleport to your Paragon and not come back to you). When the Guardians are down, cast "Finish Him" on Quansong, and a last Visage if needed. Pick up your drops.
