My first guide (posted for the second time because of an unusual error =) Have Fun!





And the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faQTt3wd8Us

At 13 strength, signet of stamina will boost your hp to around 700 (698). 10 critters can still get you to more than halfway down your hp and manage to get a deep wound on you. So 16 strength is a small price to pay to stay alive :)

This build can be done by the old 55 and any other farming build, as long as it has a high chance of survivability.

I'd also like to add that these critters do not run away from AoE spells (SoJ,...) and skills (Cyclone Axe,...) because they are Paragons (Ranged), so it is preferable to aggro 2 or more groups at a time to go faster.

Compared to Dark Knight's solo smite build (to which I owe major cred for inspiring me) , you can make about the same amount of gold by selling the items in the same time period. Sometimes even more ;).

One run takes takes between 2-5 minutes depending on the size of the mob you aggro.

There are also 2 more groups that I have not shown on the map because they are near other critters (mandragors...) that will decimate you in a couple of seconds, though you have to wait for them to move away from the mandragors to kill them.

To all those who think of asking: Yes you only need 3 skills.

PS: Thank you Firefox for Spell Check xD.

Even though it is effective with only 3 skills, everytime this was used, your health goes below 50%. It would be a very wise choice to bring additional skills to help keep you health up a better.

  Meese_Rancher on 01/08/07 23:04
 
Sorry, forgot one thing, when you hold an item, dont your weapons become non effective, because you see that red circle on your items. So it doesnt matter what equipment you bring.

you know you got PvP armor right?

Read the guide before making pointless comments! Did you even read it?

"I Used PvP armour just to show what the armour should look like"


An OK guide. A few more pictures of killing the monsters might have helped. And it's just a Vengeful Warrior farmer with Signet of Stamina.

  sethellington on 01/09/07 11:09

Sorry, lemme take that last bit back, video explain all. Bit slow though. And the first comment is right. Holding the item makes the weapon stats not work, so what you bring is more or less irrelevant, unless you really want the +7 in between vengeful

  HiroAyami on 01/09/07 11:09

Yeah, when you're holding an item your Weapon and Shield become ineffective, only in the 10 seconds between VWK's recharge do they matter. As such, skills like Riposte and Vengeful Weapon help with the speed and stability of the build. Or, even a defensive stance in between works well, you should be able to add in a superior tactics rune and sacrifice 16 strength for 15. Leaving you with 15 strength, 9 Tactics and 12 Restoration perfectly viable. Use those 9 tactics to add in 2-4 stances that will last between VWK's recharge time as well as their own. Since you're using the Signet of Stamina, you can afford the extra health loss, and if you're not feeling confident, throw in Endure Pain for the early stages.

I noticed that you had a sort of cap on how many you could farm at once. Currently, if you took on any more, you had a chance of dying. With the way your build is set, the more you take on at once, the faster the run is. You have 5 skills you can toss in there consider filling the gaps.

While you have a solid build, it can't handle other areas very well, and as such, there are simply better, quicker, VWK farming builds out there that also function for the same area. Similarily, your build doesn't use up the extra energy you possess very well, leaving at least 7-10 energy available to use, along with the regen in between.

Aside from that, nice guide/video, I liked the lay out and images myself ^^

Also, he did state above that he screenied PvP armor to show what armor you should have setup not that he used it while farming :O

  bo fairfieild on 01/09/07 14:23

maybe if you brought a stance for in between VwK? to dodge? and you could have a useless stance to cancel it.

  minibain on 01/09/07 15:43

Ok. To all the people saying that the build is slow, it only takes more or less 2 minutes for one run. I don't consider that too slow.

I just made it for the sole purpose of farming the monkeys.

and skills like Riposte would not work because they are Ranged creatures, not melee.

@ Others

I know the other 5 slots can be filled with skills. I only put 3 skills up there because, they are the base of the whole build. It works perfectly using those 3 skills only, the empty slots are there so you, the player, can customize the build to your liking.

Weapons are there only for rounding up the mobs and for the 10 seconds in between each vwk. Though you could really bring anything you want, the monkeys hit really hard =\.

i tried this with my soa monk and is worked fine.

but u need to cast soj ( sheild of judgement ) twice

  Dark Knight on 01/10/07 02:39

I posted a comment before, but it seems to have dissapeared o_O
V.nice guide, and thats a brilliant place to farm, thanks!

  ImperialMike on 01/10/07 11:27
 
Weapon of Warding works perfectly for inbetween.

  Valans on 01/12/07 07:41

every1 else is complaining, i think its awsome though. I do tend to farm these guys with aura bomber build tho. feast of corruption works well with suffering


P.S. AWSOME FONT LOOKS ALL GOTHIC AND SHIT


  butcher of canton on 01/13/07 11:24

about the ashes: i'm sure minibain knows that you cant use weapons and off-hands while holdin the ashes. but you dont need the bonuses from the weapons while holdin em, you're stealin health the whole time, you only need that stuff while you're waitin for 'vengeful was khanhei' to recharge, and you're vulnerable.

btw, great presentation, and the vid funny as hell sped up as it is, and it was quite funny when he started dancin... looked like he was bustin the rocks with his pelvic thrusts.
