Forum Link Code:[url=]A-any Chkkr Farmer[/url]
The A/Any Chkkr Farmer uses Critical Defenses combined with
Moebius Strike and dual attacks to maintain a constant physical
defense, while dealing more DPS than many other builds.
This build is used to farm EVERY variety of Chkkr bosses in the
factions campaign. This includes the Locust
Lord, Thousand Tail, Ironclaw, and Brightclaw. It is also capable of soloing
any other boss that deals physical damage and is able to be pulled
away from surrounding mobs, including Shiro Tagachi in both campaigns.
- This is also a great all-around PvE build for Assassins due to
the low recharge time, high attack power, and fantastic
e-management. It is also very versatile and you can edit it in many
ways to your own style.
Attributes and Skills
- Shadow Refuge or Dark Escape can be switched out for Way of
Perfection or a different healing skill.
- Feigned Neutrality can be used for PvE
areas where in battle heals aren't as neccessary.
- There are many useful variants posted below, this is a very
versatile build that you can shape to your own style.
Equipment
- Any Max
Armor, try to get energy as high as possible and at least
400hp.
- Zealous daggers of
Enchanting
with +15% damage while enchanted are ideal here.
- Also bring a longbow of some sort for pulling some of the
bosses away from mobs.
Usage
Running
- To Chkkr Locust Lord:
- Run normally north until you can go east to enter the lagoon
area, wait for mantises to move away before you run.
- Activate Dark Escape and run quickly to the clear area to the
north of Chkkr, be very careful not to aggro the small groups!
- Equip your bow and be patient while you wait for the mantises
to move away from Chkkr, then fire and pull back.
- Move behind the large tree stump that is sticking out of the
water to avoid aggroing any mantises and begin killing.
- To Chkkr Thousand Tail:
- Move up to where the wardens are and wait until they all form
into one small spot.
- When this happens activate dark escape and run past them to the
right to quickly lose aggro.
- Be careful not to aggro the group coming from the right side of
your screen, and wait for all of the mobs to move away.
- No use in using a bow here since this Chkkr is a ranged boss,
so move ahead to killing him.
- To Chkkr Ironclaw:
- This is by far the hardest one to do!
- Run to the southwest, past the mesmer boss Xisni, and keep
going until you hit a series of rivers and waterfalls where Chkkr
is.
- Try to avoid aggro as best as you can, its a very hard run, but
eventually you can get through the the north of Chkkr.
- Stay in the wide open area north of him, and shoot him with a
bow. The entire group will come, but they SHOULD shake off.
- Continue to go north until his group leaves, but Chkkr stays
following you, now begin killing him.
- It is very difficult to make this run, and also to get his
group to leave without him, just try to be patient.
- To Chkkr Brightclaw:
- The run is nothing, just walk out of the Jade Flats and walk to
the west.
- When you approach him be careful, a lot of mantises will spawn
when you get too close.
- To pull him, stand near the top of the stairs and shoot at him,
this should cause him to leave his group and come after you.
- Watch out for the group of stone scale kirin and dragon mosses,
for some reason they like to run across the map and kill you when
you attack Chkkr...
Killing
- This is pretty standard for any boss/PvE mob you will
face.
- Activate Critical Defenses as soon as the boss gets close, then
use the first attacks.
- Now just spam Critical Strike when you need to renew Critical
Defenses or when you need energy. Otherwise use Death Blossom for
damage.
- Use Shadow Refuge/Way of Perfection as needed to keep up your
health, as CD is only a 75% chance to block.
Counters
None. :) At least none on the Chkkr bosses. Unless you end
up aggroing other monsters of course. (dreamweavers hurt, the rest
are actually killable)
Variants
Shiro Solo
- Heres one more variant I decided to add, its the one I use to
SOLO Shiro Tagachi himself at the Gate of Madness. This allows the
rest of the team to go ahead and get the bonus without having to
worry about him! Its also easy to kill Shiro in Factions with it if
you have a few heroes to get past Med. of the Reaper.
- This build adds in Wild Blow as a quick stance remover that
doesn't interrupt the attack chain to easily remove Battle
Scars.
- Here is a VIDEO of me Tanking Shiro Tagachi. -Samurai-JM-
- The full battle took about 8 minutes, but it was too big for
youtube so I had to cut the first half off. The first half of his
hp goes down very slowly anyway, and it is basically the first 30
seconds of this part repeated over and over while the team got the
bonus.
- The monk hero is not necessary to do this, I just wanted to
be perfectly safe in case I messed up. (and I did while talking to
teammates) :)
Other Variants
- For a much stronger degen/DPS build, maybe for PvP areas, equip
fiery daggers and try something like this:
- For more degenerative build that can easily take on defensive
stances, use something like this:
- For much more of degeneration to counter things like Troll
Unguent and Shadow Refuge, try this:
- Feel free to try out different variations of this and fit it to
your own style. Also try to post your own versions on the
discussion page to share them with everyone!
Notes
- Be patient, don't always expect a green drop on your first run.
The runs can take time to perfect, but these builds are flawless in
killing the boss on every trip as long as there are no aggros.
- Try it out! Go out and explore other farming possibilities, and
post your finds in the discussion page.
