2010-05-24: Roaring Ether Claws[ | ]
Summary[ | ]
Nick's location this week
- Item: Roaring Ether Claws
- Dropped by: Roaring Ethers
- Found in: Vabbi
Farming locations[ | ]
Groups of elementals in the Mirror of Lyss.
- Suggested Farm #1: Follow the basic directions for Lightbringer point farming in The Mirror of Lyss, except that you can do it in normal mode and there's no need to cross the area to kill the boss.
- Suggested Farm #2: From Tihark Orchard, head southwest through Forum Highlands and go into the second gorge on the left. At the bottom of the root bridge, 3 groups will converge; these groups will be either 3 Roaring Ethers or 2 Ethers and 1 Sapphire Djinn. The boss group with Churahm, Spirit Warrior will have another 3 Ethers, and the 3 groups of djinn will sometimes contain an Ether. Once you're done with these groups, go to the south and then, after the harpy group, to the west, and you should meet three groups of roaring ethers with the boss Korshek the Immolated and random djinn.
Threats & recommended skills[ | ]
- Threats: The Roaring Ethers use Resurrection Signet. They and the djinn are very dangerous to bunched-up parties or spirits: the Ethers have Energy Surge and Mistrust, the Sapphire Djinn wield scythes, and the Ruby Djinn have Searing Flames and Liquid Flame.
- Tactics: Roaring Ethers can only resurrect each other, not the Djinn, so it is best to kill the Djinn first.
- Recommended skills: Frozen Soil to counter the rez sigs, interrupts, hex removal
Solo farming[ | ]
- Suggested Solo #1: A/E Perma Sin: Deadly Paradox, Shadow Form, Shroud of Distress, Way of Perfection, Glyph of Lesser Energy, Fire Storm, Bed of Coals, Mark of Rodgort.
- Pre cast WoP and SoD, DP+SF before engaging, make sure to make a nice ball, cast Glyph, MoR, FS or BoC, wait a few seconds and cast last AoE. If lucky all should be dead by now, but most of the times 1 Roaring Ether survives and will res. The ressed Ether won't res more most of the times. I used this build to kill mobs starting from Dzagonur Bastion.
- Suggested Solo #2: A variant of A/N Perma Solo does well in the Mirror of Lyss. The blessing doesn't help the farm. Target the djinn first. Kill the same Roaring Ether until all the res signets are used.
