What I'm running

See User:Foo/GoM/Theory for the 1-hero-bonder builds I use mainly on Necros and Monks. For other professions, I use these bars, based on the default setup:

Getting nice survivor numbers

This is described as if you're going for a round number, but can of course be adjusted to reach any number you wish.

Step 0 - Get close to your target value

But don't push it. A few thousands or tens of thousands is fine.

Step 1 - Get to a multiple of 100

Set yourself as a damage dealer, and your heroes as healers/protectors that do not deal any damage. Outside of ToA there are Reed Stalkers that will reward you 6xp if you're in a party of 8, and 7xp if you're in a party of 7. By adding 6s and 7s you can reach any value of 30 or higher. Use that to reach a multiple of 100. This will require killing at most 21 of them (with the right party sizes).

Step 2 - Get to a multiple of 5000

Outside The Marketplace there are Jade Brotherhood Knights that will get you 100xp each if you solo them. Use the GoM Bonding setup, (just you and the two bonders), get your health to 55, and add some damage dealing skills to yourself. Get out. If the knights are too close (so that the bonders might catch agro), restart. Set up bonds, grab agro, and kill them. It is wise to make sure you're comfortable with that before gaining a lot of survivor points. This will require killing at most 49 of them, unless you're comfortable with doing it in hm, where they give 300xp each, then 17 can be enough (combining nm and hm).

If available, quests that can be completed a head of time with their reward pending could make this simpler and safer.

Step 3 - Get the rest

Multiples of 5000 can be easily and safely gained by using Prismatic Gelatinous Material, acquired by other toons, to complete the Ooze Pit quest without getting near any mobs.

Step 4

Die.

Unstructured notes

on damage output

How can damage be improved?

• Could always be improved with primary ranger with 16 BM.
  • Seems that LB8 with no EoE is safer than LB7 with 12 BM EoE, meaning that 12 BM EoE gives less than 140/135 = ~3% damage improvement at LB7.
  • 16 BM EoE is better than 12 BM EoE by (158/163)/(126/131) * 50/43 = 17%, so 16 BM EoE is at most 3.5% at LB7.
  • ...which is equivalent to ~4% at LB4 and ~5% at LB0.
    • Bottom line: EoE is less meaningful than a single LB rank.
    • (And the improvement from 12 to 16 is of less than 1%)
• How good is Symbolic Celerity really? Maybe a better alternative could be found. Maybe another sig? Unclear, could check.
