I had a lot of trouble while testing it this afternoon, alays dying while tying to escape from the Necro mobs. Degens always kill me while im running. Do i aggro too many of them ? Do i need to stop and spam healing signet ?

Not necessarily and yes, in that order. You can't avoid aggroing Skales most of the time, but you should only ever die to degen when you're boxed and a Skale wanders up or when you run from one pack into the next. With skill, you can even survive running from a pack of Skales into a Dryder.

Check your route before you move to avoid extra packs.

Doing the same with an Axe build.

Slightly different skills ofcourse but still the same



W/Me
---------------
Healing Sig
Phys Res
Watch Yourself
Disrupting
Cyclone Axe
Executioners
Cleave{E}
Sprint
---------------

_____________
Inspiration: 4
Strength: 11+1=12
Axe: 9+1=10
Tactics: 10+1+1=12
---------------
Zealous Chaos Axe of Defense (stanced one)
Grognar's Defender
---------------

I originally started out as W/Mo but changed to mesmer along the way somewhere.
Trying to keep my health as high as possible i only use minor runes.
I made it to the beach on my first try. Killing all Snarlings and Doubter's on the way to avoid unneeded stress moments.
Ok the spiders themselves take a tad longer but luring them towards you isn't exactly the hardest part.

Had three gold drops, 4 shards and 2 chests on one run so i can say the expenses are well covered ^^

Drops have been extrodinarily strong for me recently. Not in terms of shards, but in about 8 or 9 days of farming only 2 times per day average, I had:

15^50 chaos axe req 13
15^50 chaos axe req 10
15^50 righteous maul req 11
15^50 shadow bow req 9
15^50 shadow bow req 8

Better than shards yes?

Racthoh's build is a nice one, and these "newer" builds are just examples of how people can take a great build, disect it, and find out what works for them. Which may in turn work better for some people. T

he W/Me build is a bit heavy on energy without a zealous mod, so its not for everyone who likes to spam like crazy, and some people just prefer axes.

The W/Me builds I am familiar with are very light on energy, those are ones that use Phys Resistance and mostly adrenaline skills and/or ViM.

The W/Me build I run is faster for me simply because I don't like spamming Healing Signet. With the build I'm running, I use HS probably once every minute TOPS.

Racthoh's build is faster when it comes down to killing a spider though, its the almost constant HS use that bothers me.

And of course, you can mix it all up with a W/Me with an axe and a zealous mod! >_>

You may not like it due to the fact that adrenaline charges slower compared to a build with flurry stuffed in to it.

edit : and by 'you', I meant the reader.

I don't have optimal equipment, so I need PS + Dolyak to reduce all the damage to -0. It works well, usually ~50 minutes to do a full spider run (comparable to most other builds here), plus I can take out the Abyssals and Rangers on the same run:

Hundred Blades (E)
Power Attack
Galrath Slash
Final Thrust
Healing Signet
Physical Resistance
Dolyak Signet
Sprint

Either something is wrong with my runs because whenever I'm farming the Spiders, they still use Healing Springs even though I'm attacking adjacent to them.

Its how your positioned to them that stops it, its extremely wierd, i try to get in the middle of a group and attack the most outcasted spider, if that makes sense?

As long as I attack all adjacent spiders once, they haven't been using spring on me. But maybe something's changed...
