Default Farming Build Needs Some Adjustments.

hey =) ive recently been using the following build:

Cyclone Axe
Whirlwind Attack
Triple Chop
Flail
Patient Spirit
Dolyak Signet
Healing Breeze
Sprint

Ive been trying to look for locations that give a nice loot, and other locations as well

Im really into farming Hydras, Enchanteds,
Gryphons,


Basically Anything thats on Crystal Desert

Also In Lornars Pass And Areas Near Droknars Forge.

This build is nice overall, but it needs adjustemnt, since i cant farm more than 3 enemies at once lol

I Tried the farming thread, theres nothing that useful for the areas im tryin to farm, found nothing on hydras.

Do you all know any skills to add? And Of Course Areas That Could be farmed for a nice loot. Im a Warrior/Monk. Thanks =)

You could try something like this :

Dolyak Signet
Desperation Blow
Drunken Blow
Flail
Riposte
Victory is Mine
Healing Signet
Optionnal (Can use a PVE skill or maybe Deadly riposte or anything rly)

Use a tactics + 3 rune on the helm preferably. You can use 2 superior runes if you want.

Attributes should look like this :

12 str
14 to 16 tactics
Rest into either sword or axe, depending the weapon you use.

Cyclone Axe
Whirlwind Attack
Triple Chop
Flail
Vigorous Spirit
Optional
Dolyak Signet
Sprint

Optional can be Live Vicariously for more heal-on-hit, Mending for natural regen, Orison of Healing for spike heal, Dismember for deep wound/spike, etc.

This is similar to the build you've been using, but with all that multi-hitting it would be a shame not to use Vigorous Spirit/Live Visariously.

That wouldn't work because it would conflict with Flail.

In my opinion, there are two main ways a warrior can farm (besides 100b): Stance tanking (Gladiator's Defence, etc.) and what he's got going, a Vigor farming that regenerates health through AoE melee attacks and Vigorous Spirit. If he wants to use the latter, he doesn't need a blocking stance, as he'd want to use the IAS. If he wants to go for a stance tank, by all means drop flail and add one or two.

Mending is terrible. It's not worth the slot or the energy loss at all. Orison of Healing on a warrior is bad; it's not too useful on a monk for that matter.

Vigorous Spirit was changed some time in 2009 to fix a bug, but I couldn't find documentation of the fix. Vigorous Spirit does not trigger on hit, only on attack. Cyclone Axe and Whirlwind Attack are considered a single attack that hits multiple foes for the purposes of this skill, so they both only trigger a heal from VS once, regardless of the number of foes you hit using those skills. I tested various skills some time ago here.

Live Vicariously triggers on hit, so it will of course heal for every foe struck.

Zealous weapon if you aren't already using one, or place something in that "optional" spot that will give you energy, I'm sure you run out rather quickly.

So if a defensive stance is out, perhaps a defensive enchantment to midigate some damage, or a Prot spirit or some such.
