User:Slogankid1/Builds/A E Solo Green Farmer

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.

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.

Prophecies
2 Current Bosses


 * 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

Factions
47 Current Bosses

 * 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)
 * Wajjun Bazaar:
 * 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.)
 * Sun, the Quivering - Hard/Very Hard (Mobs may appear from the roofs, making the run almost impossible)

 * 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/Medium (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)

 * Monk's Construct - Easy/Medium Let the first group go near the boss.

 * 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)
 * Morostav Trail:
 * Falaharn Mistwarden - Easy/Medium (Bring Shadow of Haste should the attempt to kill fail and you must retreat).
 * Sunreach Warmaker - Easy/Medium (Bring Shadow of Haste and Rust and if you feel the need, Feigned Neutrality too. Go in first without the boss in your mind, make Falaharn Mistwarden appear. 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.)

 * 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)

 * 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.)

 * 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.)
