This build I use works very well for me with multiple enimes that cant remove enchantments

W/Mo level 20 (axe) with full galds armor (knights boots) and +12 energy +30 health anhk.

I use

Bonettis stance
Cyclone axe
Swift chop
zelots fire
vigorous spirit
live vigorously
baltazars spirit
orisans healing

Before I go in for my first tanking I cast baltazars spirt then wait for recharge, live vigorously (now on +0 energy) then cast vigorous spirit (which i constantly renew)

When taking on 10 or so level 20+ monsters I gain energy and andrenline from baltazars spirit while being hit all the time i counter this damage by using both live vigorously and vigorous spirt they give me +22 health in total per hit which = 222 health per cyclone axe on 10 monsters (every 4 seconds for cylone axe recharge)

They die quit fast too, as I use zelots fire when my energy rechages (and it does so very fast) while using cyclone axe to trigger i get a kinda double edged sword healing myself lots and causing damage, and while the cyclone axe rechages i use orisans (to heal and also do damage from zelots fire) or swift chop (actives zelots),

basicly when all enchantmest are on its constant up and down 3 skills in this order

Bonettis / cyclone axe / swift chop or orisans

by the time you reach orisans or swift chop bonnettis is recharged to start again, i leave out orisans or swift chop and renew either zelots fire or vigours spirit (most important) when need be.

If the monster do a lot of damage fast then i sometimes opt to dump swift shop and baltz spirt for mending and watchfull spirt that gives a total of +5 health regen and yes that means -1 energy regen (with live vigoursly) but i am never short of energy and its alomst always full from bonettis.

I'm fairly sure people have posted and reposted this build in many, many different forms.

I use the following...

Cyclone Axe
Symbol of Wrath
Gladiators Defense
Bonettis Defense
Balthazar's Spirit
Live Vicariously
Vigorous Spirit
Zealots Fire

I usually solo the minotaurs/griffins right outside of Augury Rock. I'm still not sure why some of you need to bring an actual healing spell for this to work. My run goes like so:

I enter prophets path, immediately cast balthazar's spirt and live vicariously. After this you should have two energy reminaing and should not be gaining any energy at all. Run passed the first Devourer and he'll hit you a few times, causing you to get a few energy. Aggro the first 2-3 minotaurs and get them to follow you. You'll run by another few minotaurs, they'll also follow you. Keep running until you get to a bunch of griffins, try to aggro as many as possible. Once I actually stop and start fighting, I'll use the first 5 energy on Vigorous Spirit, immediately afterward I'll hit a Cyclone Axe, which heals me and fully charges bonettis. After this, bonetti which gives you full energy. After full energy, cyclone axe again and right after that... gladiators defense. While Glad's Defense is on I cast Zealots Fire and Symbol of Wrath. Directly afterward I hit another cyclone axe to heal myself. I alternate between Cyclone and Bonetti while Gladiators Defense and Symbol of Wrath are recharging. Symbol of Wrath and Gladiators Defense should recharge very close together. This is also about the time vigorous spirit is running out.

With the right timing, taking out the Griffins/Minotaurs is insanely easy. I have to stress though that if you aren't keeping a live target on (as in still swinging and hitting something always) then you will most likely die. Also remember to always try to have some sort of stance on. Without the stance, you die almost instantly. Timing is everything with this build. I've seen some swear that you need some healing (healing hands, breeze, orison, etc...) but it's honestly not needed at all unless you really can't get the timing down. There are really only 3 skills that you should be worried about. Bonettis, Cyclone and Vigorous Spirit. As long as you can remember to always have bonettis on (unless you're inthe middle of cyclone axe, obviously) and to always recast vigorous spirit (obviously cast it while in gladiators defense or bonettis) you should be near unstoppable.

Just remember to keep running if you aggro any rockshot devourers. It's possible to solo the griffins/minotaurs with them around, but they can make things insanely difficult, especially if they get a distracting shot in on vigorous spirit.
