I posted this in the regular forum section and thought it might get missed by those who might like to see it

This build is used in the same area as the other Ettin farming guides, near North Ascelon Settlement...
Below is an 11mb mpg video

Quick ettin kill in 12 seconds

The skill set:



1. Mist Form Elite Skill
For 8-20 seconds you cannot take or deal damage from attacks.
2. Meteor Shower
Spell. 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.
3. Phoenix
A fiery phoenix rises at your location, striking nearby foes for 7-91 fire damage, and flies out to your target, exploding on impact. This explosion strikes for an additional 15-75 fire damage.
4. FireBall
Fireball flies toward target foe and explodes on impact, striking for 7-91 fire damage in an area.
5. Armor of Mist
For 8-18 seconds, you gain +10-34 armor and move 33% faster.
6. Fire Attunement
For 36-55 seconds, you are attuned to fire. You gain 30% of the energy cost of the spell each time you use Fire Magic.
7. Aura of Restoration
For 60 seconds, you are healed for 152%-350% of the energy cost each time you cast a spell.
8. Conjure Flame
Lose all enchantments. For 60 seconds, if you're wielding a fire weapon, your attacks strike for an additional 1-13 fire damage.

The real advantage here of course is the Elite Mist Form.
With the attributes for water at 11 Mist Form lasts for 17 seconds.

All the attacking skills can be used before the time runs out on the elite. You don't get touched :)

The plan of attack:

Find your targets
Cast in this order:
1.Conjure Flame 1st as it strips all other enchantments.
2.Aura of Restoration
3.Fire Attunement


Step and get the Ettin to touch your aggro ring. As soon as they start to move towards you cast
4.Mist Form.

Now your attack skills:
Pick the middle ettin if there are 3.

Cast
5.Meteor Meteor Shower
6.FireBall
7.Phoenix

This should kill the Ettin without them ever touching you.
FireBall will recharge quickly enough for you to cast once more if needed.

Armor of Mist is used as a running skill, it's not really needed for the extra armor...

Very nice.  LAone on 02/28/06 01:53

Its looks good, sounds good. How has your overall experience been with this build?

  Lord_Skull_Crusher on 02/28/06 04:40

works great, thx.
i dont rly get the point of bringing conjure flame though, i switched it for flame burst.

  Eddepet on 02/28/06 07:00

It sounds really cool, but (as Lord_Skull_Crusher mentioned) where do you use conjure flame for, you only deal damage with spells and not with your staff or wand, so conjure flame is pretty useless.
Flame burst would indeed be better..

Got to train my ele to lvl 20 and get the skills! I can't wait :P

  solgae1784 on 02/28/06 07:48
 
I tried this and works quite well. I did this with 9 water magic (15 sec of mist) and killed 8 ettins at a time.

My attribs were 15 fire magic (12 + 1->helmet + 2->major rune), 9 water magic (8 + 1->minor rune), and 11 energy storage (10 + 1->minor rune). I used fire wand with energy +5 while enchanted and flame artifact focus item.

As others already pointed out, there's no point brining conjure flame (since you can't attack while misted, and spells are not affected by that skill). Switch it to Inferno or Flame Burst, and you'll see those ettins dropping like flies.

Been interested in the ele ettin farming for a while (might see it in a comment on the warrior ettin farming by LAone)
Good build, and as it sais, seems painless too ^^.
I have to make myself a ele very soon :).
Good job and thank Sir Shaitan.


  Divine-Master on 02/28/06 15:40

I'm interested in knowing: What kind of runes do you use? What armour do you recommend? And why'o'why is Conjure Flame inthere?

  SirShaitan on 02/28/06 17:10


Runes are Superior Vigor,Superior Fire and Superior Energy storage.
The Vigor was got here on a run.

The conjure is on there as occasionally I'll kill the mergoyles for dyes.

  Red-Tide on 02/28/06 17:47

Whats the trick to getting past all the mergoyles and tengu on the way to the Ettins?

mergoyles and tengu  bo fairfieild on 02/28/06 18:13

he said that he uses armor of mist as a running skill, presumably to pass other pesky little monsters.

  Bluetooth on 03/01/06 03:25
 
I tried this build out last night and I have to say that it really worked. I was really surprised when i got a superior rune of divine favour worth 10k on my first run. Great Build! Thx

With this build I usually come out of LA and head North. Mergoyles can't really hurt you unless you fight them. Just run paat thew fire imps and scales until you get to the area of the settlement.

  Faarr Seer on 03/01/06 07:29

when you farm ettins don't you go from beetle like everyone else..

I don't think he does but i'm sure u could do it just run past the tengu and mergoyles using armor of mist.

Won't work. There are 2 groups of Caromi Tengu Wild + Scout that cannot be avoided, and the first ettins are right after them. Wilds shatter enchantments, conjure phantasm and interrupt. You'll be more or less dead and/or out of necessary skills when you hit the first mob of ettins. When my ele goes ettin farming she uses a different build from the one posted above, and just kills everything on her path: mergoyles, tengus, skales and the occasional fire imp. And ettins, of course.

  Araid on 03/01/06 13:29
 
so say your build tmakinen. it'd be great


  Belshazaarswrath on 03/01/06 15:21

My ele owns those stupid tengus and the morgoyles are eaisily passed by using mist armor.

  dracogorman on 03/03/06 12:39

the easiest waay to pass the mergoyle and caromi tengu's are as such. run passed the mergoyle normal, they dont do much damage, until you get just before the first caromi duo. cast mist form, followed by armor of mist, followed by fire attunement., rush passed them, the wild will cast strip enchantment which will strip your fire attunement, keeping up your armor of mist for speed and your mist form for blocking that annoying scouts attacks. anyway, run passed until they break aggro, but before the next duo,sit and wait for the spells to recharge and repeat.

-one quick note to mention, never leave from lions arch, if you leave from beetletun you can take the following route beetletun-nebo terrace-NKP-scounrels rise-NKP-nebo terrece-nkp-scoundrels-etc. it involves 4 areas and you NEVER have to worry about the anti farming code (tho if you stop, NEVER stop in NKP or nebo, always scoundrels)

1.Conjure Flame 1st as it strips all other enchantments.


This has been changed in the last update, now it doesn't strip all other enchantments anymore so you can cast the enchantments in any order now.

  Riva Deathbringer on 03/06/06 17:09
 
I also use a different build and have no trouble killing the baddies I encounter. Maybe I have just been lucky...everytime. I will try this build though just to see how a change is. Thanks!

  .killjoy on 03/07/06 09:22
 
Very fast !! I just tried it out painless aswell, only hard part of this build is getting there and it isnt that hard.
