Works well but due to items dropping less i dont use it much anymore.PWNERER 19:12, 1 March 2008 (EST)

This is being over-farmed. Never get any drops.

Explain why this>SF-Sliver Armor.-- AESTHE  T  I  C 

Since armor rating doesn't matter, because you'll die as soon as Shadow Form runs out anyway, I suggest (for those low on cash) just buying the armor from Shing Jea Monastery. It's cheap. I'm cheap. The world is a good place.--User:Etherel

this better than sliver armor because of the amount of charr that are there attacking you. I have found that it is a very low chance that sliver armor will actually target the boss. This build is more likely to kill the boss where as sliver armor will not always kill the boss. Also because of the Charr bosses low hp this build has enough damage to kill them.--User:Jboy157

I tested this build and it works amazing, i have gotten a few elite tomes this way and it doesn't mess up all the time like the sliver armor build does--User:Mooserstinky


 * I'm not sure what you're doing with Sliver Armor, but if you use a shadow step it'll target the boss. Also Wild Strike at 11 Dagger Mastery does the same damage that your Fox Fangs at 14 dagger mastery does and has a shorter recharge so, not only it is more efficient in your build but also there's false information there that it says you will be doing less damage by swapping it in. 201.150.67.84 19:04, 25 January 2008 (EST)
 * Changed. You can edit things yourself, you know. --71.229 19:08, 25 January 2008 (EST)
 * It will target the boss, at first. Then it targets the nearest char melee.--[[Image:Assassin-icon.png|20px]] The Gates Assassin 02:17, 27 January 2008 (EST)

It'll get about 5 hits of sliver armor off on the boss and then it will target the char around the boss. Also, Felinam can be rather difficult to kill, he puts on troll unugent, so an interrupt or more degen would be cool, but not sure how to put it in.

I have been doing this for 2 days now, basicaly non-stop and it works like magic. @v 17:57, 29 January 2008 (EST)

This works very well, and I have been getting loads of stuff doing this. I have been having some problems with this. Mostly, they're with not being able to kill Felinam, because of troll unugent, and not being able to kill Blaze, because of heal area. I have also been having some problems with getting mobbed around so that I can't move, then the boss running off. However, I still find this to be far faster and more reliable than the sliver armor build.

If you are afraid of getting mobbed up, then teleport to the boss sooner than normal when he is away from the wall so if he does run away the char will be behind you and you will be able to catch up to the boss. Even if the boss runs away, there is enough time in shadow form to kill him.--Jboy157


 * I have never once encountere the kiting problem.... Anyway, I think the voting should commence soon, and I definitely vote yes! [[Image:FordSig.gif|22px]] @v 19:39, 30 January 2008 (EST)

Eh guys you still gaining some tomes? I farmed there almost 1h and get only 1 gold... Also, its impossible to kill Felinam beacuse (i dont know how) he killing me with Ignite Arrows, and, Blaze heal himself with heal area and/or kitting away. Im sad :( Black Sheep 2 20:40, 12 February 2008 (CET)

If I see Blaze or Felinam, I just resign immediately and go again, way faster just to not bother with them, also, can anyone improve this with a more powerful chain and put it in the variants section?

I've been doing for hours now and no drops, is there anyway game mechanics lower drop rates for any known reasons?82.35.152.154 12:35, 22 February 2008 (EST)

Substitute For Those Without EOTN
I currently don't have EOTN and I can't seem to find a skill to fit like Lotus Strike. What I tried was using Way of the Lotus enchantment and it worked ok, but with the ranger a lot of times I couldn't get enough damage. I was still able to do it for the monk and such so it's an acceptable replacement but I was wondering if you guys had any better suggestion that maybe I'm not thinking about? Because gaining that energy is extremely important so I can't switch it off with a lot of off hands.

I actually just put in Golden Phoenix strike, which seems to work fairly well.

I found that having the attack chain as Unsuspecting Strike, Fox Fangs, Twisting Fangs, Golden Lotus Strike, Wild Strike, Blades of Steel works fine. If energy is a problem, use a weapon of enchanting then when you Death's Charge to the boss, switch to +5 energy daggers when fighting the boss.

Any/A variant?
Any/A 12 dagger mastery 12 shadow arts

Possibly swap Lotus Strike for Golden Fang Strike?

Thoughts? Infidel ( talk ) 13:14, 1 February 2008 (EST)


 * SF lasts only 17 seconds with 12 shadow arts, but with 20% longer enchantments mod, it'll last 20.4 seconds. Think it's long enough? [[Image:Peace and Harmony Infidel.jpg|19px]] Infidel  ( talk ) 13:16, 1 February 2008 (EST)

That would not work due to the fact that there is no deep wound there, there would not be enough damage without the deep wound.-- Jboy157
 * Notice that I put "Possibly swap Lotus Strike for Golden Fang Strike?", and GFS=deep wound. I'm pretty sure that the energy would be fine, although no crit strikes may be bad...[[Image:Peace and Harmony Infidel.jpg|19px]] Infidel  ( talk ) 12:22, 2 February 2008 (EST)

If you bring all radiant runes and all runes of attunement you will probably have enough energy. It'll work if you have enough energy.-- Jboy157


 * I'll try it out soon and will tell whether or not it works. If it works, think I should add it to variants? [[Image:Peace and Harmony Infidel.jpg|19px]] Infidel  ( talk ) 17:48, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Does'nt work. Rarely will you be able to kill the boss, and if you get lucky enough to do so SF wears off before you could pick up a drop. 97.88.142.111 13:36, 3 February 2008 (EST)


 * Are you positive? I have yet to try this, but will try it in the near future. If I try it and I confirm it doesn't work, then that's the final say in it. As rule of thumb I generally don't trust people without accounts ;) so no offese. [[Image:Peace and Harmony Infidel.jpg|19px]] Infidel  ( talk ) 14:21, 3 February 2008 (EST)

To be honest, Blades of Steel is really a waste of skill slot. Its better to use the build mentioned above and use Death Blossom as Dual Attack after Lotus Strike. Good skill for last skill slot is "Finish Him!" (if you can manage the energy) or "I am the Strongest!" (should be used as soon as you enter the mission and then reaplied when it ends). Also, 16 shadow arts is overrated for this build, 14 is more than enough.
 * another good skill for this is Asura Scan. Arthas 12:34, 16 February 2008 (EST)
 * I think Asura Scan build should be in variants for people.--Relyk 20:05, 20 February 2008 (EST)

This would be admissible to my contest if it didn't use Shadow Form. This is a very neat build. - (ză'rē'năs thĕ shăd'ō) [snō hwīt tăn]  01:19, 21 February 2008 (EST)

Votes

 * everyone who said this kills faster than A/E is wrong tbh, they need to reconsider their votes,A/E can kill the boss + about 4 other char in 10 seconds.-- AESTHE  T  I  C 

this build kills just a little bit slower than A/E but it is more efficientJboy157
 * ^^oxy moron-- AESTHE  T  I  C 
 * Efficiency =/= killing speed. It is not an oxymoron &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.116.29.16 (contribs).
 * ef·fi·cient--"performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort." yeah it is.-- AESTHE  T  I  C 

That just depends on wether or not you get just as many kills with silver armor. So many here are saying they cant get the boss kill right. If you can kill a boss 50% faster with SA 50% of the time but can kill a boss 100% of the time at half the speed what have u lost?--96.13.252.9 03:12, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * i prolly did this run 100+times and never had a problem with SA.-- AESTHE  T  I  C 

attack chain
wouldnt the chain be better if lotus strike and wild strike switched places so energy manageent would be easier.

Blaze Bloodbane
He is easy to kill. Just Death's Charge, wait to get hit by Bane Signet, then attack away. He won't use Heal Area because I happen to kill him every time. --Risus 19:15, 26 February 2008 (EST) It's a glitch, if u can get to Blaze Bloodbane before he uses bane on you for some reason he wont use heal area

This build absolutely..
Sucks! The boss will run away while i am blocked in by his melee people!!! DOES NOT WORK. Tengu 17:07, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Add it to main bar. put in golden pheonix strike Dutchess of Rose  aka  lukejohnson  - talk - Contributions 15:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

New Build
I've been playing around with builds, and I think I have come up with a pretty good one. If you take Shadow Form, Deaths Charge, Critical Eye, Critical Agility, Golden Fox Strike, Wild Strike, Death Blosson, and Shadow Form with the same attributes the same as the other build you can kill all of the bosses with no problem. Your energy is fine once you start attacking and you can heal yourself via Shadow Form for any damage you might me taking from Ignite Arrows. If you feel confident enough you can swap out Shadow Form for Finish Him for a faster kill.
 * Err, you said Shadow Form twice... And don't forget to sign your comments.--Denerynn 16:47, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
