W/E “On Your Knees!” Farmer


This build is designed to farm Trolls and Minotaurs or other Melee attacking foes. It requires both campaigns, since you need factions-only and prophecies-only skills. It is possible that a build like this has already been posted on another fan site however it has not yet been posted on Gameamp or Guildwiki. I have designed it myself, however there will probably be more people who figured it out as well.


The Skills:



1) Drunken Blow: This skill only serves for extra damage if you are attacking a boss. You don’t need it while farming Trolls and Minotaurs.
2) Cyclone Axe: This is your main attack skill, it allows you to gain the required amount of adrenaline for “On Your Knees!” and energy if your weapon has a Zealous Haft.
3) Whirlwind: This Skill serves as knockdown to trigger the effect from “On Your Knees!”.
4) “On Your Knees!”: Whenever you use this skill while an adjacent foe is knocked down all of your stances will be recharged. (Note: This skill will recharge Bonetti’s Defence but will remove all adrenaline from this stance)
5) Gladiator’s Defence: For 11 seconds, you have 75% chance to block incoming attacks. Whenever you block a melee attack this way, the attacker suffers 37 damage.
6) Bonetti’s Defence: For 11 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.
7) Healing Signet: Your self heal.
8) Sprint (or other skill): You can use this to run passed other mobs (Avicara etc).


Armo(u)r:

I use Gladiator’s Armo(o)r, however any armo(u)r can be used with this build. But since you are not getting a lot of damage, the energy bonus from the Gladiator’s Armo(u)r is better than the armo(u)r or reduction bonus from Knights,…
Use Stonefist Gauntlets to increased the Knock down time caused by Whirlwind.


Weapons:
You can use any kind of Axe. However using a Zealous Axe will give you a high amount of energy when you use Cyclone Axe. (If you use another Axe you can gain energy with Bonetti’s Defence.)
Since you are not being hit a lot, the stats on your shield are not important.


Attribute:

Axe Mastery: 13 [12+1]
Tactics: 16 [12+1+3]
Strength: 4 [3+1] (you can put these attribute points in Air Magic as well.)


Troll Farming: (Cave outside Droknar’s Forge)

Use Sprint to run past the Avicare that you might encounter (you can easily run past them without getting noticed most of the time).
When you reach the Troll Cave, try to aggro as much Trolls as you can. If you are gaining a lot of damage while aggro’ing the Trolls, use Gladiator’s Defence. When Gladiator’s Defence is going to end use Whirlwind -> “On Your Knees!” -> Healing Signet (if you need Health) -> Gladiator’s Defence. Using Healing Signet while the Trolls are knocked down, makes it impossible to interrupt. If you use it while in a stance, it can still be interrupted if Disrupting Chop did not get blocked. If you get low on energy you can use Bonetti’s Defence to gain energy, however using “On Your Knees!” will remove the adrenaline from Bonetti’s Defence. So use it before using “On Your Knees!”.


Minotaur Farming:

When you reach the Minotaurs, try to aggro as much Minotaurs as you can. If you are gaining a lot of damage while aggro’ing, use Gladiator’s Defence. When Gladiator’s Defence is going to end use Whirlwind -> “On Your Knees!” -> Gladiator’s Defence. You can use Healing Signet whenever you want. If you get low on energy you can use Bonetti’s Defence to gain energy, however using “On Your Knees!” will remove the adrenaline from Bonetti’s Defence. So use it before using “On Your Knees!”.



Have fun farming ^^

I use this build on Vermin to x]

  maddog199 on 08/31/06 03:21

nicely found.

Ah I really like this idea. I've never bothered with farming much with my warrior since i made my monk and ritualist, as they're much faster than the warrior. This however would speed things up a lot. Good job!

  Slink on 08/31/06 09:50
 
As a little tidbit, if you prefer swords you can use "To the Limit!" instead of Cyclone Axe. This also helps for boss farming because you can use the Ripostes on your bar.

  IamHighVoltage on 08/31/06 10:04

Nice idea, I'll try that combo out.

Well I definitely disagree on this statement
But I guess that’s your own opinion :P


  something wicked on 08/31/06 17:35

cool looks liek itll be faster than wammo farm ill have to try

  Solicity on 09/01/06 11:59

looks like a good angle for it! how do you cope with the heavy degen from the vermin, as without vig spirit, etc, i can see you getting screwed

  Solicity on 09/01/06 12:00

aha, cracked it! go warrior monk, swap healing sig and drunken blow for the 2 on hit heal spells, and swap wirlwind for shield bash. as soon as sb disapears, use on your knees, and follow it up with glads. nice ^^

  Solicity on 09/01/06 12:22

i tried out the build i put out, and its no faster for farming vermin than the normal one. i did try this one out with trolls and such (as its intended), and it works very well indeed! well done :)

  Unbeatable on 09/04/06 03:22

Nice! Is it as fast as 55/600hp monks though?

It's a true statement though, whether you believe it or not :P I have extensively farmed trolls/minotaurs and other things with my 55 monk, various warrior builds, and my vengeful rit build and the Rit beats them both on speed, efficiency and stability. My Rit very rarely dies as the main damage part of the build is also the healing. It can also take on a wider veriety of enemies than the 55 and warrior.

Anyways, sorry for hi-jacking your guide. Trying this build at the moment but having a little trouble, although not really very awake yet as it was my 21st birthday party last night...

  Solicity on 09/05/06 11:30

heh, happy 21st birthday sister ^^
