Zaishen Elite

[DamadmOO]

This build has been posted on the forums before. Tho it was in a thread where nobody would search for it. With all the new sub-forums i think it should be here in its own thread.

I am using a build made by Fox Bat as well. I am not sure or he is still using that build but i can write it down here.

Human and 1 hero: SF build
Searing Flames, Glowing Gaze, Liquid Flame, Glyph of lesser energy, Meteor shower, Fire Attunement, Glyph of sacrifice, Ressurection Signet.
Disable MS for the hero since he won't use it in combination with Glyph of Sacrifice and the casting time is too long otherwise.
Attribute Points
Fire magic 12+1+3
Energy storage 12 + 1
Survivor insignias and vitae runes

Hero monk
Spell Breaker, Shield of Absorption, Dwayna's Kiss, Protective Spirit, Healing Touch, Flame Trap, Quickening Zephyr, Frozen Soil.
Disable Frozen Soil. Cast it manually just before the enemies arrive.
Attribute Points

Usage of the build
The heroes will automatically cast all spirits without the ones being disabled. While they are doing this just walk towards the gate and go stand a bit on the right side so your ranger hero ends up in the middle of the gate. Cast Serpent's Quickness and keep casting as many traps. Put down Flame Trap on your monk as often as possible as well. When the enemy is getting close go stand behind the traps and put down the 2 disabled spirits (Frozen Soil, Edge of Extinction). Just wait and see and get ready for the next team.

However there are 2 teams you have to handle differently. The degen team and the elementalist spikers.

Against the degen team you have to make sure that tahlkora casts Spell Breaker before the enemy arrives. Otherwise she will never get another skill of the ground. Personally i cast spell breaker just before the frozen soil spirit. In the beginning you don't need the healing protection against that team anyway.

When you see that the elementalists team is your opponent walk back as far as possible and cast the 2 spirits there. Wait till the elementalists hit the traps and throw on your nuke immediatly on the few elementalists that keeps standing just behind the traps (cast glyph of sacrifice first). Kill of the elementalists. If they make a heal-ball then use the nuke of your hero to interrupt it and they will fall down shortly after (and not only from the knockdowns :D).

This is the build Fox gave me and still works fine for me. I dunno or he already made a better build but if he did i wouldn't mind him to post it here If anything is unclear or it is too much information for now and you want to see it in-game just ask me when i am on and i will take you with.

I tried playing with Savvanah Heat recently in place of Searing Flames since it's so popular in HA. That + Deep Freeze + sac'd Metoer Shower = faster GGs against the annoying degen/ele groups, and should also cover you if traps fail against the rangers. You'll have to play with it more to come up with a specific build though, I can't be arsed to farm faction for myself anymore.

Oooh, wait...oooh, oooh...I have a question!!

What do I do if I don't have the faction to buy the skills required to build the team required to farm faction??

(No really, I don't have about half of the requirements for that build )

[Seijin]

You could always ask one of us that do have the skills to go with you initially to help build up faction so you can unlock those skills.

[DamadmOO]

Another thing you can do is the zaishen challenge. You can only get a limited amount of 2k factions per day but you can choose the team you are fighting. Also you can just send me a msg when i am online and then i will take you thru a full run.

If you're only going for the 2k one, it's probably easier to do the PvP training inside Isle of the nameless, those are easier fights since you're only fighting the 4 basic henches (the same ones you see in the GH). I forgot the name of the NPC, but he's right at the entrance from where you enter via Temple of Balthazar. That doesn't really require any special build and, for the most part, you can just use the henches and still have an easy go of it.
