User:LoyalSoldier/Assassin Green

This build utilizes the elite Shadow Arts skill Shadow Form and the earth magic skill Sliver Armor to quickly take down bosses that are accompanied by medium/large mobs to efficiently farm their green items.

Equipment

 * Energy armor (i.e. Radiant or Shrouded Armor)
 * +5 energy, enchanting 20% weapon.
 * Galigord's Stone Staff is a recommended Staff, but any weapon with a max of Enchanting upgrade can be used, and it is preferred as when close combat enemies start to run away, a staff attack will bring them back, something that a totem axe can't do.
 * A Totem Axe along with the Earth Scroll from Collector Ohtah is a good combination which will give more energy than a staff.

Usage

 * Run to the boss using the speed buffs.
 * When you are just out of aggro, activate Shadow Form and use Death's Charge to teleport in. Usually aggroing before teleporting in makes enemies clump together, giving Sliver Armor less of a chance to target the boss.
 * Activate Glyph of Elemental Power, then Sliver Armor. Make sure you are closer to the boss than anything else, or you will not kill it!
 * Use Shock then Aftershock to speed up killing.
 * When the boss has died, activate Shadow Form and use the speed buffs to run away to safety. You can use Shadow Form again since Morale Boosts recharges all skills.

Counters

 * Shadow Form doesn't protect against signets, touch skills and Point Blank Area of Effect damage.


 * When Sliver Armor deals only half damage to bosses will also end your run.

Variants

 * When fighting Warrior bosses such as Sunreach Warmaker, it helps to use Rust so that his Healing Signet takes 3 times as long to cast. To do this, though, you will be required to take one or two points off of Shadow Arts and put them into Water Magic.
 * Shock, Teinai's Wind, Aftershock, Rust, Teinai's Crystals, Crystal Wave, Obsidian Flame and Shadow Refuge may be switched out for other skills, depending on what you are farming.
 * Shock can be switched for other knockdown spells such as Dragon's Stomp for a bit more damage.
 * For people who don't have Prophecies skills unlocked, remember that you can always unlock them in PvP and then buy them at the trainers in Lion's Arch or your Guild Hall, if you have bought a skill trainer that is and assuming that you have a Guild Hall.
 * Caltrops can be useful against bosses who attempt to flee when heavily damaged.
 * Feigned Neutrality is useful against groups which have mobs with touch skills, Signets, and AoE skills and that may penetrate Shadow Form.
 * Exchange Dash for Deadly Paradox for a quicker Shadow Form recharge.
 * Exchange Dash with Shadow of Haste to warp back if necessary and retry the process.

 * Crystal Desert
 * Prophet's Path:
 * Kepkhet Marrowfeast - Medium Use the following skill combo to take Kepkhet down: Glyph of Elemental Power, Shadow Form, Death's Charge, Sliver Armor, Obsidian Flame, Teinai's Crystals, Crystal Wave. Bring an interrupt such as Shock, Dragon's Stomp, and Gale to prevent Kepkhet from activating Mark of Protection. Furthermore, when you use Death's Charge to get to Kepkhet, be sure to bring Feigned Neutrality or Shadow Refuge as there are trappers in and around the vicinity of Kepkhet. If Sliver Armor targets another thing, you will die as one of the nearby necromancers will use Well of the Profane.

 * Morgriff Shadestone - Easy

 * Bukdek Byway:
 * Wing, Three Blade - Medium (This may prove difficult because of the high HP of the boss, lack of mobs and a Rt healing him)

 * Lian, Dragon's Petal - Easy/Medium (Switch out Dash for Feigned Neutrality. Use Dark Escape to run past the first and second group of Knights.  Stop before you aggro Lian and make sure you aggro the second group of Knights.  Cast Shadow Form then Death's Charge to her.  Immediately cast Feigned Neutrality.  Wait for her to cast Double Dragon.  Glyph ,Sliver, Shock, then Aftershock.)

 * Shenzun Tunnels:
 * Cho, Spirit Empath - Easy/Medium (Bring Feigned Neutrality instead of Dash, come from Nahpui Quarter!!! Cast Feigned Neutrality last, chance monks will heal him, if so run and rezone, the fastest route is to run towards Nahpui Quarter (just a few feet west from Cho) . It will make the run a lot easier and shorter.)
 * Xaquang Skyway:
 * Ghial the Bone Dancer - Easy/very Easy (Feigned Neutrality is NOT a neccessity for the run. Beware of the mesmers for they will disrupt your sliver armor TIP: All mesmers interrupt at once, so consider bringing a "scapegoat" spell with a long activation time, such as Dragon Stomp or Obsidian Flame.)
 * Shreader Sharptongue - Very Easy/Easy (Exchange Shock or Aftershock with Shadow Refuge and aggro as many groups as possible for most damage)
 * Ziinfaun Lifeforce - Easy/Medium (Hit Ziinfaun with your weapon to interrupt Ethereal Light)

 * Untouched Ancient Ky - Medium
 * Pongmei Valley
 * Xuekao, the Deceptive- Easy/Medium (Be sure to let the Knight Brotherhood kill the Am Fah before you approach the boss, as how the Knights will attack the surrounding Am Fah making for a quick kill with 1-3 possible attackers) ~ The dagger that he drops is really really nice for Assassins using the Vigor Build where you use enchants every 30 sec.
 * Echovald Forest

 * Warden of Saprophytes - Hard (Warden of the Trunks must be removed first, resurrection portal nearby to keep going at it, possible at 60% dp.)
 * Melandru's Hope:

 * Chkkr Thousand Tail - Hard/Very Hard (Really hard to keep going unless you have a backup for Sliver Armor, as it'll run out to quickly)

 * Falaharn Mistwarden - Easy/Medium (Bring Shadow of Haste should the attempt to kill fail and you must retreat).

Warp back using a stance. Go in again and aggro every mob, pull Sunreach with staff and cast glyph then sliver then rust, he will go down quickly.)
 * Strongroot Tanglebranch - Medium/Hard (Go around the other way and aggro the nearby kirin and dragon moss and use Rust and Caltrops to subdue him and spam Obsidian Flame to kill him.)
 * Kyril Oathwarden - Medium/Hard (Hard to make sliver armor target kyril; take feigned neutrality to survive traps.)
 * Ritualist's Construct - Easy/Medium (Very few mobs surrounding him, making it harder to kill. Replacing run skills or Shock & Aftershock with Obsidian Flame & Crystal Wave/Teinai's Wave can help overcome this obstacle.)
 * The Eternal Grove (Explorable): (only after the mission)
 * The Scar Eater - Very Easy/Easy (Also a fairly easy boss to practice on, you must follow the 1st group that comes near the shrine, when you get near the boss aggro it and jump near the boss, also a good idea can be to change shock and aftershock for gale and Obsidian Flame)
 * Jayne Forestlight - Easy/Medium (Advisable to bring Shadow of Haste, Watch out for warriors, as they can KD with "None Shall Pass!". If not killed at first attempt, warp back with any stance and retry)
 * Wiseroot Shatterstone - Medium (Silver armor does not tend to stay on him,or will target lately,must aggro both mobs before him and his mob to fully kill)

 * Birneh Skybringer - Very Easy/Easy (Lots of mobs for Sliver Armor to work)
 * Dabineh Deathbringer - Medium (Switch out shock for Feigned Neutrality. Exit Venta Cemetery.  Head south hugging the wall.  As you get close enough to target him, check for the number of Tusked Howlers nearby.  If there are 2 then rezone.  If there are 3 then count the number of Crested Ntouka Bird.  If there are 3 or 4 then you are in good shape to beat him.  Before you aggro Deathbringer, aggro the Howlers and cast Shadow Form. Next aggro Deathbringer.  Glyph then Sliver, before he gets to you, cast Feigned Neutrality.  Using his Intimidating Aura, you will lose Feigned Neutrality but Sliver Armor will do its job before he can remove another enchantment.)
 * Eshim Mindclouder - Very Easy (Short walk so it is like the Nightfall variant of Sessk, Woe Spreader Consider bringing dancing daggers to spam instead of dash, you will kill much faster)
 * Marga Coast:
 * Chor the Bladed - Very Easy/Easy (Just aggro the group of Mirage Ibogas near him and try not to be interrupted while casting shadow form. Cast Sliver Armor when he uses Frenzy)
 * Lunto Sharpfoot - Medium/Hard (You must pull him towards the mirage ilbogas and then usually only 1 of his monks will come and then its easy. but you want to be beside the monk when you activate sliver so when he uses shadowmeld sliver armor is still targeting him. then it will be Easy/Medium)
 * Bosun Mohrti - Medium/Hard (Aggro the insects nearby and Frigid skales and snare with Caltrops.)
 * Bubahl Icehands - Medium (Aggro nearby insects, snare with Caltrops, and heal with Feigned Neutrality)

 * Terob Roundback - Very Easy/Easy

 * Major Jeahr - Medium (Approach from Camp Hojanu)

 * Barbarous Shore:
 * Lieutenant Shagu: - Medium (You must aggro nearby enemies. If you do this, and silver armor keep targeting him, he will be down in few seconds.)
 * Bahdok Caverns:
 * Wandalz the Angry - Medium/Hard (The hardest part about this boss is getting to him. You need to learn the hiding spots on the map, as the spawns in this particular area are quite massive to be running around by yourself. You'll want to keep the original build intact, and use speed buffs across the bridge. Once across, glyph, death's charge, and sliver armor, he goes down rather quick. Throw a shock and aftershock in there to see it go a little faster.)
 * Jahai Bluffs:
 * To Be Added...
 * Turai's Procession:
 * Korr, Living Flame - Medium/Hard (Don't lure the nearby water djinn, Sliver armor will target them instead)
 * Chiossen, Soothing Breeze - Medium/Hard (The Rampaging Ntouka make this hard, use Feigned Neutrality as the Rampaging Ntouka run towards you and it will strip Feign Neutrality instead of Sliver Armor or even worse, Shadow Form. Aggro the nearby hekets to the north of Chiossen's group. Pack Obsidian Flame and Aftershock to speed up the killing.)


 * Vabbi
 * Resplendent Makuun
 * Kormab, Burning Heart - Very Easy/Easy (bring Shadow of Haste instead of dash, Obsidian Flame and Teinai's Crystals instead of Shock and Aftershock. The hardest part is geting there: to behemoths, use Shadow Form and run towards them, while a little bit after their patrol point use Shadow of Haste. Run back, they run like hell, so they will follow. When form is about to end use Dark Escape to warp to a safe place, where they can't get to you. While near the boss use Shadow of Haste for multiple attempts if necessary, it should be dead in the first attempt, if not in the second.)
 * Wilderness of Bahdza:
 * Eshekibeh Longneck - Very Easy/Easy

 * Grabthar the Overbearing - Medium (Bring Rust and aggro nearest Skree group)
 * Korshek the Immolated - Easy (Make sure to hit the nearby Whispers Informant for some easy Lightbringer points)

Another method is to simply shadow step down to the area he is contained in using Deaths Charge. Simply run away after he is dead, by running around the Ethers and up on the ledge again.)
 * The Mirror of Lyss
 * Yammiron, Ether Lord - Medium (Switch Dark Escape with Obsidian Flame to spam)
 * Riktund the Vicious - Medium (aggro the beetles as well, he may kite when close to death, bring along Obs. Flame)

 * Shakor Firespear - Easy/Medium (Surrounding mobs should be aggroed.)

 * Leilon, Tranquil Water - Easy/Medium (Dark escape is reccomended when Death's Charging in.)


 * The Desolation
 * Crystal Overlook
 * To Be Added...
 * Joko's Domain
 * To Be Added...

 * The Sulfurous Wastes
 * Vahlen the Silent - Easy/Medium (bring Shadow of Haste, you might not get it at first, bring high damage spells, and you might consider in taking Glyph of Concentration. Watch out for Signet of Judgment.)


 * Realm of Torment - (Lightbringer title in this area will alter effectiveness.)
 * Nightfallen Jahai
 * Chimor the Lightblooded - Medium (Nice pair of daggers if you don't have a +Energy/+Enchantment Staff)
 * Onslaught of Terror - Easy (Need to aggro at least one other group, elementalists and mesmers can interrupt/slow, bring Feigned Neutrality)
 * Domain of Pain
 * Fahralon the Zealous - Easy/Medium (Before entering battle, try using Dark Escape to minimize the damage taken from AoE and Dreadful Pain.)
 * Domain of Fear
 * Shrieker of Dread - Hard (you'll need to aggro several (ideally 3) patrols to take him down; wait for them to converge). Also watch out for the Death Nova when killed.
 * Storm of Anguish - Medium (Difficult to get to, try to slip between the two first mobs, lure another mob for easy kill)
 * Depths of Madness
 * Reaper of Agony - Medium (Time your run when he has moved near the two groups of Margonites)
 * Ravager of Dreams - Very Hard (Approach from the north, and pull 2-3 groups along with the boss group, 4+ Lightbringer rank reccomended.)
 * Topo the Protector - Hard/Very Hard (Aggro once, run, and wait for him to fully summon his army, (about a minute), then shadow form in for a rather easy kill, due to the surronding groups of graven monoliths.)
 * Master of Misery - Hard/Very Hard (Pull together groups, beware of scythe attacks and death novas, armor of earth, obsidian flame, feigned neutrality all are good to have.)
 * Consort of Ruin - Hard/Very Hard (Pull groups, and make sure it targets him and it will be easy, minions and blades of torment make this tough.)

Equipment

 * Archmage's Armor
 * Enchantments last 20% longer weapon.
 * Arius' Sai or Chimor's Daggers are recommended Daggers.
 * Galigord's Stone Staff is a recommended Staff.
 * Totem Axe/Rajazan's Fervor + Galigord's Stone Scroll are also recommended. Earth Scrolls with identical stats as Galigord's can be found at Collector Ohtah in the Undercity (5 Plague Idols) or Collector Denos Makaluum in Vasburg Armory (5 Stone Horns). Droajam's Storm is also very similar to Galigord's Stone Scroll (and may be preferable depending on what you are farming).

Usage

 * Run to the boss using Dark Escape.
 * When you are just out of aggro, activate Glyph of Elemental Power,Shadow Form and use Death's Charge to teleport in. Usually aggroing before teleporting in makes enemies clump together, giving Sliver Armor less of a chance to target the boss.
 * Then activate Sliver Armor. Make sure you are closer to the boss than anything else, or you will not kill it! If Sliver Armor ends up targetting the wrong foe, try stepping away and then back to the boss, this will often give you the desired effect.
 * Use Obsidian Flame, Teinai's Crystals then Crystal Wave to speed up killing.
 * Just after the boss is dead, activate Shadow Form and use the speed buffs to run away to safety. You can use Shadow Form again since Morale Boosts recharges all skills.

Counters

 * Shadow Form doesn't protect against signets, touch skills, traps and Area of Effect damage.
 * Chilblains is a highly used skill by enemies which removes Shadow Form.
 * Shadow Form will be removed by foes using Expunge Enchantments.

Variants

 * Obsidian Flame, Teinai's Crystals, Crystal Wave, and Dark Escape may be switched out for other skills, depending on what you are farming.


 * When fighting Warrior bosses, such as Sunreach Warmaker, it helps to use Rust so that their Healing Signet takes 3 times as long to cast. To do this, though, you will be required to take one point off of Energy Storage and put them into Water Magic.


 * Caltrops is useful against bosses who attempt to flee when heavily damaged.


 * Feigned Neutrality and/or Shadow Refuge is useful against groups which have mobs with touch skills which penetrate Shadow Form and is also required for the run to some bosses.


 * You may also use Shock, Aftershock, & Teinai's Crystals in that order. Shock is a great interrupt on many bosses who cast their healing spells first to negate Sliver Armor.


 * Shadow of Haste serves to give you an emergency out and is particularly useful when learning the build, taking the 'error' out of 'trial and error'. This serves particularly well when attempting to master a series of difficult bosses in a single run, such as the monk-mesmer-elementalist-necro constructs in Sunjiang District Explorable.  Be warned - the speed boost offered by the skill makes pulling groups more difficult.


 * See variant Build:E/A Gloom Farmer for farming gemstones in Gloom.

Monk (Mo)

 * Protection Prayers
 * Kepkhet Marrowfeast - Hard (Make sure not to give the scarabs a corpse before kill due to Well of the Profane. Most of the time the area effect of traps placed below Kepkhet kill you, you turn into a peice of toast.) I changed my build for this boss using Shadow Refuge instead of Obsidian Flame. Before attacking the boss I cast Dark Escape (to reduce damage taken in this case) followed by Glyph of Elemental Power and Shadow Form, then use Death's Charge on the boss followed up with Sliver Armor. Then cast Shadow Refuge to neutralize the effects of the traps and start using Teinai's Crystals and Crystal Wave until Kepkhet is dead. Personally I haven't failed farming Kepkhet after this modification. Mark of Protection could still be a problem though. If you also change Crystal Wave and Teinai's Crystals for Shock and Lift Enchantment, you can cast Shock when Kepkhet casts Mark Of Protection. If you interrupt Mark Of Protection, than just continue killing him, but if you are too late (what probably will be the case), you have to cast Lift Enchantment, when Kepkhet is still knocked down. Than Mark Of Protection will be removed and you will have enough time left to kill Kepkhet. Also, make sure that no griffon has aggroed Kepkhet, as it will spawn additional touch necros around her. Also, if you died attempting to kill her, you have to rezone and retry, as additional touch necros from surrounding area will come near her. If you follow up all those tips, Kepkhet will be Easy/Medium.
