Default Ice breaker farming?

Started my account back up after about two years of inactivity and wanted to farm up some money. I found an old guide on Ice Breaker farming with a w/mo but I just can't manage it. There's only two sets of two mighty grawls I can kill, the big group on the frozen river always has two or more barbed grawls in there and I can't survive near them at all. Am I supposed to just avoid the barbed ones entirely and go for the miniscule amount of farmable mighty grawls or what?

dunno much about the farm, but farming hammers won't get you any money, hardly anyone use hammer anymore, and it's not realy worth the effort cos greens are next to worthless now

just go at with a sf assasin, even post re-renerf you can still kill them with the sliver armour version, and as long as you are solo you can kill the barbed ones for a paper fan.

As the earlier poster said, farming the Ice Breaker is not very profitable, especially for the time spent, I would suggest finding a better source for income, even Feather farming is more profitable at this point

warriors normally go for Shock Axe or D-Slash, cos they need the +16 armor from shield, so the only good build i can think of with hammer is if you go KD-fest or bunny thumper

Warriors do NOT need the +16 armor... wtf are you talking about?

D-slash is worthless for PvP, Shock Axe is worthless for PvE. Hammer owns both

Once again, every Warrior has an Elemental mod. Especially VS OTHER Wars. Although maybe not as important as other Hafts, Elemental Weapons are always on a Warrior's Quick Switch.

Why do you need single-target weakness in PvE? Or lengthening it by ANY %? Enfeeble Blood > Heavy Mod.

Furious > Sundering > Zealous > few other > Heavy.
