Archive:E/Me Renewal Sliver Farmer

The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page. This build has been designed for the following use: PvE farming

This build uses the Earth Magic skills mixed with Mantra of Earth to both greatly reduce damage taken and gain energy per hit. It is then able to keep Sliver Armor up almost constantly using Glyph of Renewal, dealing large amounts of damage.

Attributes and Skills

Equipment

• Geomancers Armor.
• Any weapon with a +20% longer enchantments mod. As this build would normally be used to tank a melee weapon would be best.
• A Totem Axe fits this description as does Rajazan's Fervor, although a Galigord's Stone Staff will work too.

Usage

• Before aggroing anything, activate and maintain Mantra of Earth, Stone Striker, Armor of Earth, Aura of Restoration, and Stoneflesh Aura.
• Aggro the group you would like to farm and use Glyph of Renewal, then Sliver Armor.
• Do not recast Sliver Armor instantly, wait for the recharge of Glyph Of Renewal and repeat, moving to the next target after each is dead.
• When there are not enough enemies to trigger Sliver Armor quick enough to kill anything, use Crystal Wave.
• Aura Of Restoration should be enough healing for most situations.

Counters

• Strong degen or enchant removals.
• Stance removal.
• Interrupts.

Variants

• Teinai's Crystals for Crystal Wave.
• Depending on the area you're farming, you can replace Armor of Earth with Teinai's Crystals, if Armor of Earth is not necessary.
• Lose Aura of Restoration and Tenai's Crystals for Sympathetic Visage and Ancestor's Visage for interupt heavy areas. Using this you can kill all trolls and bosses outside of Drok's in Hard Mode.(tested this doesn't seem to work 100% for casting stoneflesh aura even with the energy/adrenaline loss because they run away my thoughts were leave restoration and replace crystals with mantra of resolve before you cast stoneflesh then switch back to mantra of earth by keeping restoration you earn any health lost maximum of 37x#of enemies)
• Aftershock conditionally can be a good alternative for Crystal Wave, however Crystal Wave is more effective vs higher elemental armored foes (particularly Rangers and many Hard Mode monsters) since it is armor ignoring.
• Swap Glyph of Restoration for Aura of Restoration for a quick big heal
• If farming foes with degeneration, replace crystal wave with Glyph of Restoration. The combined healing effects of Aura and Glyph of Restoration provide more than sufficient healing.
