Archive talk:Me/Mo 55hp SoA Farmer

I have moved this build right away to testing, because I have been using the build for quite some time now. BlazeRick 14:32, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

You really need to fix the skill point distribution at the top. Shireen  former sysop  14:35, 28 March 2008 (EDT)

Attributes are where???  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ  14:36, 28 March 2008 (EDT)


 * fixed, he typed m wrong.[[Image:Styxx_HL.jpg|19px]] Frans  14:38, 28 March 2008 (EDT)


 * you can't heal urself.[[Image:Styxx_HL.jpg|19px]] Frans  14:42, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Why would you wanna heal yourself if you're not taking any damage?  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 14:42, 28 March 2008 (EDT)


 * Degeneration.[[Image:Styxx_HL.jpg|19px]] Frans  14:43, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Please read. Then comment. Thanks for fixing the attributes btw. BlazeRick 15:14, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Then you don't farm in places where there's degen. PROBLEM SOLVED!  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ [[Image:Panic_srsbsns.gif|37px]] 15:15, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Lol, that's no conditions, no mesmers, no necro's. gg farming melee/rangers without bleeding/poison.[[Image:Styxx_HL.jpg|19px]] Frans  15:18, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Frans, again, read. In particular the variants section. Just like a 55 monk, this build is flexible. BlazeRick 15:21, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I read it actually, you're main bar should have the right skills, not your variant section.[[Image:Styxx_HL.jpg|19px]] Frans  15:24, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Trolls, the Skale in HM in the First City, etc etc etc. There are enough places to farm without degen. BlazeRick 15:25, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
 * How do u farm raptor hatchlings w/o interrupts with shielding hands?
 * Mantra of Resolve prevents being interrupted. Shielding Hands won't work because you'll have a 6.2 second downtime in between casts, which means you'll be dead before you can recast it. IMO stay with SoA and you'll be fine. ̡͌l̡*̡̡ ̴̡ı̴̴̡ ̡̡ ͡|̲̲̲͡͡͡ ̲▫̲͡ ̲̲̲͡͡  I͡n͡f͡i͡d͡e͡l  ̲̲͡͡ ̲̲͡▫̲̲͡͡ ̲| ̡̡̡ ̡ ̴̡ı__̡͌l̡*  22:19, 29 March 2008 (EDT)
 * You farm Raptors with Shielding Hands and SoA because of the loss of MoR. MoR is a stance so can't be taken with Resolve. Raptor Nestlings was a bad example in this talk page for the main build. But, the main build's idea is to use MoR to make spells recharge as fast as they can to use them as frequent as you can. That goes for the damage and SoA. BlazeRick 02:30, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

Why use Blessed aura? It totally has no use >< R0x0rDead 05:11, 31 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Good point. Myself, I use no Fast Casting Headpiece. Guess that is why I put it in. I'll change something later. BlazeRick 09:49, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

I don't really get this build, its as if your using mantra of recovery just for the sake of it. I find it more effective adding shielding hands and Echo{E} instead of MoR and arcane echo. Or if using it against HM fire imps you can use mantra of flame to free up a slot and add healing breeze OQNEA3gN+MBSUPcXtSwCqEYDeAA. Also getting rid of MoR frees up attributes to put into Illusion for a more efficient 1 sec cast hex rather than the 3 secs of ether nightmare(your pic shows 1.4secs?) which can be useful on some farms. You can even have arcane echo>echo>cryer like this for HM Kappa OQNDA7YPT3V1DrEsgLBKB2gIAA Bogusdude
 * It uses MoR to make you able to use CoP more frequently. And to maintain SoA. The 1.4 sec casting time of Ether Nightmare is because of the Fast Casting. With lower Fast Casting, this build will probably be less effective. Because you can get interrupted more easily and because the spells just take too damn long to cast. Quick and frequent casting, near interrupt-immunity and invincibility, those were the thoughts behind going max Fast Casting. MoR just made sense after that. To adress the variants you are talking about; they have already been partially covered in the variants section on the main page of this build. It also covers the ongoing nag on this talkpage about degen. Seriously guise, l2read. BlazeRick 11:46, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Move?
Build:Me/Mo SoA 55 Mesmer. Because this one isn't using hb...--Relyk 06:02, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I guess, if it helps understanding people better. BlazeRick 06:27, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Blessed Aura
switch blessed aura for Essence Bond because you are going to need more energy and Blessed Aura sucks without a monk primary. Extreme (contribs) 13:14, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Essence bond won't trigger. Your not taking damage....207.214.143.130 11:35, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I think it will with SoA, little bug. Will test in about 10 seconds. Drag nmn   talk cont  09:40, 10 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Tested on Insects outside Yohlon. With only Essence Bond + Shielding Hands I did not get energy as a 55. With SoA I did. Drag nmn   talk cont  09:44, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Nerfed!!!
Protective Spirit does 50% now, making any 55's, 600's, and a whole bunch of other builds useless, i sure hope this gets reversed

--71.229 19:12, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Of course, and people can get ferried back to pre Ascalon, and VoD now depends on your KoabD title track. BlazeRick 06:03, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

LOL I can't believe what Anet did for april fools day, with the stick figures and what not, there's no nerf lol, and Ursan can't be used to PvP, that would be hell for monks....Killer Hasy, 07:31, 2 April 2008 (CST)

WTF you believed it? 60 second shadow form? Dwarven battle Stance KD's on every hit and does +40dmg? Two minute Diversion? lol Klumpeet . ŧ . ¢. 03:03, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Rating
So, how does this work. Do I need to edit this build onto the frontpage in the Untested list? Or am I dependant on waiting for anyone to care enough to give a rating. First time for me posting an actual build (that has gotten attention). BlazeRick 18:10, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
 * You just need to wait for people to rate it. I'll try to start it off for you. [[image:klumpeetsignature.jpg|19px]] Klumpeet . ŧ . ¢ . 06:09, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

YOU STEAL MY IDEA!! But ok. ---  Ressmonkey (talk)  17:35, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
 * If it makes you feel better, I used that build for a while too, bout a year ago. By the time MoR got nerfed, I was long gone in UW. Wasn't worth the effort anymore imo. BlazeRick 01:53, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Farmable Area's
maybe it's usefull if ppl make a list of farmable area's and mobs and bosses here Tsae Dran 09:04, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

team
if you pair this with an SS and take a few other skills over CoP and Ether, this is theorhetically more effective and safer than a 55 Monk. 128.255.216.144 21:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

this build in action ?
Could someone post a video of this build in action ? I'm just curious why this 55 build only got a good rating.
 * It's only in good on account of being unable to deal with degeneration. Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png]] 23:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * so if someone changed it to a 600 SB instead, it would have a higher rating ?--Lusciious 08:36, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be a new build page. Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png]] 23:15, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have little experience with farming. This build grew out of someone daring me to come up with a farming build for Mesmers that works. So I did. I'll update it sooner or later. Rewrite it. Delete it. Idk yet. BlazeRick 11:20, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
