This is my complete guide to W/Mo Post-Nerf Griffon Farming. (The Scar)
This is the news-straight from A-net
"Kepkhet Marrowfeast, Queen of the Scarabs, has brought her brood to the desert, drawn by the plentiful corpses of griffon, minotaur, and even other scarabs. The insect brood now infests the "Prophets Path," so travelers be warned!"
Well I'm sure most of you are familiar with Griffon farming, But what you may not be aware of is that A-net decided to replace all the Griffons with Scarabs! After the big upset
and listening to little kids complain, whine, and try to form 3 man Scarab farming groups, I decided to be optimistic and form my NEW build for farming Griffons! Enjoy!
Well first is the skill setup,For a WARRIOR/MONK. You do not specifically need your skills in this order, but these are the skills I use.
Skills-
1. Executioner's Strike For extra damage, when able to attack.
2. Sprint For extra speed boost when needed.
3. Cyclone Axe Your way of gaining Adrenaline.
4. Gladiators Defense Your main source of damage.
5. Bonetti's Defense Your source of energy regen.
6. Vigorous Spirit Healing purposes.
7. Live Vicariously Healing purposes.
8. Mending Health regen.
1.If this attack hits, you strike for +10-34 damage.
2.For 8-13 seconds, you move 25% faster.
3.Perform a spinning axe attack striking for +4-10 damage to all adjacent opponents.
4.For 5-11 seconds, you have 75% chance to block incoming attacks. Whenever you block a melee attack this way, the attacker suffers 5-35 damage.
5.For 5-10 seconds, you have a 75% chance to block incoming melee attacks and arrows. You gain 5 energy for each successful melee attack blocked. Bonetti's Defense ends if you use a skill.
6.For 30 seconds, each time target ally attacks or casts a spell, that ally is healed for 1-11 health.
7.While you maintain this enchantment, whenever target ally hits a foe, you gain 2-17 health. In addition to the initial energy cost, you also lose 1 point of energy regeneration while the enchantment is in effect.
8.While you maintain this enchantment, target ally gains health regeneration of +1-3. In addition to the initial energy cost, you also lose 1 point of energy regeneration while the enchantment is in effect.
Attributes-
Of course, You can Boost strength and weaken Tactics to suit your shield requirements.
Equipment-
One Minor strength, tactics, and axe mastery rune
Minor-Superior Vigor
Minor-Superior Adsorbtion
Max damage axe, preferably with Fortitude, Sundering, Furious, Vamp, Zealous, Or Armor mods.
A Max defense shield, preferably with Fortitude or Damage reduction mods.
Max armor from Droks, Citadel or Grotto.
Note-I suggest using Glads armor for the extra energy
The will to farm :)
First off, travel to Destiny's Gorge.
Zone outside To "The Scar."
Cast Mending, wait for your energy to regenerate, Then cast Live Vicariously.
(Refer to map) Follow the path on the map, killing mobs of Griffons on the way
If your not sure how to Kill the mobs correctly, This is how.
Once you collect your aggro of Griffons, your going to want to cast Gladiators Defense.
While this is up, Cast Vigorous Spirit. You want to do this for the health gain on hit, and since Gladiators Defense is not canceled when you cast a skill, this is the perfect time to use it.
After those steps are done, with Gladiators Defense still running, hit cyclone axe to build adrenaline.
By now Gladiators Defense should be out, Now is the time to cast "Bonetti's Defense."
With that casted, wait for energy to regenerate, then hit cyclone axe again.
Your adrenaline for Bonetti's Should be up by now, but if it is not, hit the Griffons a few more times and hit Bonetti's.
Keep doing Bonetti's/Cyclone axe until Glad. Defense is recharged, Then Cast Gladiators defense, Vigorous Spirit, and Then hit cyclone axe again.
Pick up drops, Rinse, Repeat!
A few helpful hints- When facing Rock-shots, if you don't think you can take them, make sure to use sprint.
If you get low on HP, you can always run off.
After about 30 or so runs, Drops begin to get worse and worse.
Id your items before selling them, And keep only the golden items (Unless your in need of purples)
Salvage Your bows, And use the wood that comes from them to craft parchment (Great way to make money)
PM me if you need help with this, I will gladly show you how.
