You can kill both the scar eater and Shatterstone in hard mode in a 3 minute run.......it's a beast. You can also farm just about everywhere a monk 55 can farm (besides a couple 55 M/D spots). Change up the build a bit to throw in a maintainable Obsidian Flesh and you can even handle dying nightmares....

[skill]Glyph of Renewal[/skill][skill]Sliver Armor[/skill][skill]Aura of Restoration[/skill][skill]Healing Breeze[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Stoneflesh Aura[/skill][skill]Essence Bond[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill]

16 Earth
10 Protection Prayers
8 Healing Prayers
5 Energy Storage

Cheapo Armor (armor level doesn't matter of course) with radiant insiginias...each piece should have a different attribute Superior Rune.
-50hp deadly cesta
+20% Enchant 1 handed weapon (vampiric would make things interesting)

Usage:

Maintain Essence Bond & Balthazar's Spirit. Before you aggro, cast Aura of restoration then Protective spirit then stoneflesh aura. Once they attack you, cast healing breeze. Get next to what you want to kill, target it....then cast Glyph of Renewal, then Sliver Armor. You'll be able to maintain Sliver Armor constantly by always casting renewal first, then sliver. When you get down to about 1 or 2 enemies.....you can stop maintaining healing breeze. AoR will provide plenty of healing just by maintaining ur enchants.

There's a slight bug with the build, but its nowhere near show-stopper. For some reason, for a short time (2 seconds or less) after you cast stoneflesh aura, you still take damage. This is why we have healing breeze and AoR, so 2 seconds of damage is easy to handle.

Also, with Stoneflesh's -33 dmg recieved, morale boosts aren't much of an issue..

Have fun.....

Don't think this is anything new. I think it's been around since Factions, with the addition of Stoneflesh as Nightfall came.

In any case, this belongs to the Farming section.

Well i don't see too many farmers using it. Granted, A/E is faster for killing just scareater. Didn't expect anything new (is anything 55 really new?) Either way, it's a good way to farm some elite tomes (and non elite necro tomes).

Works in plenty of places, just posted my favorite.....

Also, you can save energy by only casting healing breeze just before recasting prot and SF aura. Only reason it's even in the build is because of that little bug where damage gets thru for about 2 seconds. AoR really is sort of pointless.

why make a 55 ele if an ele terra tank can farm well enough, or the E/A boss farmer?? >.<

Dr Dimento · Jan 22, 2008, 07:14 PM // 19:14

A 55(ish) can farm some places a terratank cannot, or, in places that necessitate a terratank bring ob flesh.....a 55 is simply faster. I say 55, but i've actually found a 135hp does much better. I asked the mods to delete this post already so i can post a much better, updated version.....but since then dasullybear posted his FoW 55 ele, which is so close it would make another post redundant so i won't bother.

Also.....E/A boss farmer can't do this:

I'm not saying this is a better farming build overall, just that it *does* have certain locations it works best for.
