This is a guide for solo farming the Mountain Trolls outside of Droknar's Forge. While I do not take full credit for this build, I did not copy if from somewhere else, so no flaming if you have recognition, please.

The Attributes:



The Equipment:

Any staff with Insightful and Enchanting upgrades will do, preferably at least 17& Enchanting. Galigord's Stone Staff works well here.

The Skills:



1: Glyph of Elemental Power - For 15 seconds, your elemental attributes are boosted by 2 for your next 5 spells. (5/1/15)

2: Meteor Shower - Create a Meteor Shower at target foe's location. For 9 seconds, foes adjacent to that location are struck for 7...91 fire damage and knocked down every 3 seconds. This Spell causes Exhaustion. (25/5/60)

3: Lava Font - For 5 seconds, foes adjacent to the location where this spell was cast are struck for 5...41 fire damage each second. (10/2/4)

4: Glyph of Lesser Energy - For 15 seconds, your next two spells costs 15 less Energy to cast. (5/1/30)

5: Frozen Burst - All nearby foes are struck for 20...92 cold damage and move 66% slower for 5...10 seconds. (15/(3/4)/30)

6: Flame Burst - All nearby foes are struck for 15...99 fire damage. (15/(3/4)/5)

7: Inferno - All adjacent foes are struck for 30...114 fire damage. (10/(3/4)/10)

8: Mist Form (Elite) - For 8...18 seconds, you cannot take or deal damage from attacks. (10/1/30)

The Location:



The green icon indicates the relative location of the Mountain Trolls.

The Usage:

Go outside of Droknar's Forge into Talus Chute. Immediately head left past the Ressurection Shrine. If there are Avicara blocking the way, resign/rezone and restart. They cannot be deafeated with this build. There should be 3 Mountain Trolls somewhere outside the cave also. If you can get them alone, safely away from the Avicara, they are great to practice with.

Once in the cave, cluster the Mountain Trolls on one side of you, in a small bunch. Before they maul you to death, cast Mist Form. Then, immediately use skills 1-7, in that order, without stopping.



If some Mountain Trolls survive (and some inevitably will), then use Lava Font when they come back, as it should have recharged by now.

If all goes well...



This build can kill the Mountain Trolls (except bosses) in under 19 seconds.



I hope you enjoyed my guide.

I like it. :) I will try this out.

  sethellington on 11/30/06 12:35

Nice way around the farming nerf, can you send me a PM with ur ign and show me sometime plz?

  Wyat_hawke on 11/30/06 12:39

Hmmm, I might be stupid, but isn't arcane echo OR serpents of quickness a must here? 18 seconds of "immortality" isn't that good, why not double it "just in case of..."
Also, drop out galigords stone staff for something else, like totem axe or something better.



  benjef on 11/30/06 13:05

bead of coals maby to go with MS otherwise thats one great build!

Arcane Echo mist Form?

  Soqed Hozi on 11/30/06 13:33

can't believe they dont run away (tried with my invincimer before).

note you could try earth instead of fire, whirlwind + aftershock, crystal wave and teinia's crystals.

anyways, i think arcane echo is a must have. (btw how do u run to those trolls if avicara take an interest in you?)

  Slink on 11/30/06 14:39
 
Why's your name blanked out in all the screenshots except the second-last one? o.o

  Elenchus on 11/30/06 15:19

finally a working mountain troll farming guide
I will definitely try this build
thank you! and great and clear guide
gratz!

  Master Bock on 11/30/06 15:50

very nice, ive seen many varients of this build.. (E/Me, E/R) and so on

but gj on making a E/* one

  Knight Of The Black Mantle on 11/30/06 15:54

Nice build, but why do you hide your name when you see it at the pic where you selected yourself?
cheer =D

  Meese_Rancher on 11/30/06 16:43
 
Nice build...I would sub in bed of coals as since u have meteor shower, bed of coals causes burning to knockdowned foes and will kill them faster

  Crush firestorm on 11/30/06 17:02

cool. i'll try it out when get Guild wars working again.
think i'll bookmark this page. :)

  rareorwelldone on 11/30/06 17:42

nice guide, and i agree with Meese_Rancher. Burning is the greatest. But i am wondering why your almost dead in the last screenshot, i suppose cuz mist for wore off.

P.S. I can see you tried to blur out your name, but i can still see it :)

D'oh... yeah, well, no one's perfect, heh. I just didn't want people messaging in game.

Also, you're right, Mist Form did wear off in the last screenshot.

  camy009 on 11/30/06 21:57

y wouldnt u use lesser energy for shower

  benjef on 12/01/06 01:37

my comment got deleted :S well anyway what i said and it was first :P

bring bead of coals for burning and maby echo Mist form?

  Vlad Teh Impaler on 12/01/06 02:16

energy management isnt an issue with this build. The point is to kill them in one burst, not have to worry about regain or anything

  camy009 on 12/01/06 11:06

cancel the lesser energy i was wierd for a momment

  Mister Pink on 12/01/06 14:42

Vlad Teh Impaler is correct, camy009.

To all others: Arcane Echo or Serpent's Quickness is not needed for this build at all. (Disregard the fact that I am almost dead in the last screenshot. >_>). This build can easily kill the Mountain Trolls in 19 seconds, which is how long Mist Form lasts without the 20% Enchantment extension. It would be a waste of a skill slot.

Also, Bed of Coals is a good idea, best of luck to all those who try this build with or without their own tweaks.

  Rootbeer_Rain on 12/06/06 19:56

Very nice! +cred I use this a ton, what are the rarer weapons you get there? i think the rarest i got was a max fellblade but its white, might be able to mod it up to sell but...

  sleep_FTW on 12/07/06 17:05

omg that ele is SOOOO cool looking. who ever made him is awesome.

  sleep_FTW on 12/07/06 17:10

BTW, you done need Arcane Echo/SQ because you kill most of them in under the 19seconds, GoEP makes MF last 19s +20% of 19, then you recast Lava Font when there are just one or 2 left and boom, you win.

  fludz on 12/09/06 16:05
 
DUDE this is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very nice job, this is an easy build to play with and i did it my first time with my ele. TY so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  ChiBears54 on 12/13/06 16:26
 
do you need to do the 15 attri quest for this to be successful, also, wut water runes are you using (obvioysly sup fire)

  uwish on 12/15/06 01:42

Very nice +cred

  Drizzt Duarden on 01/07/07 02:43

The Bed of Coals idea work wonderful! I have been useing it in my build for some time now! My skills are:

Mist Form
Glyph Of Sacrifice
Meteor Shower
Bed Of Coals
Frozen Burst
Inferno
Flame Burst
Flame Djinn's Haste

With this build I can kill all trollsmost of the time in 10secs. By the time Meteor Shower runs out they are dead! Not all the time though.

  tpwehrman on 03/15/07 15:04

I see that some of you have suggested using arcane echo mist form. You can't use this combo, mist form is an elite. I have an ele and was wondering what build to use now since the very disturbing nerf. GJ

  toojay on 04/28/07 20:33
 
hey lol i see u were trying to block ur name but look at the picture
with the drops lol u can see it there

  King Of Dark Dragon on 09/02/07 17:22

hmmmmm... i might try this with my ele, can u do this on HM?
