Well, okay. To be honest with you this is my first farming build. And me, I don't really like using that 55 monk or other cookie-cutter builds because it feels like i copied someone. And thus, here's my farming build. I don't really know what monster it's for, but I do know it should be used for places where there are lots of melee-oriented creatures (eg trolls, ettins)

The strategy for using this is sorta weird, but whatever. This was just sorta off the top of my head.

Here we go.

W/N. The Disease Parade.
Basically, the premise of this build is to just run around like mad (still keeping aggro though) and putting disease on everyone in sight.

Attributes:
Strength: 9+1
Axe Mastery: 5+1+1
Tactics: 8+1
Death Magic: 10

Skills:
1. Cyclone Axe
2. Healing Signet
3. Watch Yourself
4. Bonetti's Defense
5. Blood Renewal
6. Sprint
7. Life Siphon
8. Tainted Flesh (E)

Execution:
- Cast Tainted Flesh
- Use Cyclone for adrenaline
- Use Watch Yourself (keep using it once it charges)
- Use Life Siphon on about 2 or 3 enemies (cast again after about 15 seconds)
- IF there are non-melee mobs around, run to them (the disease should spread)
- Use Bonetti's Defense + Healing Signet if Health starts getting low
- Contstantly cast Blood Renewal for health
- Sprint to get to some place quickly

- Because all the melee mobs will be following you, they will spread disease to the nearby targets THEREFORE creating the name Disease Parade. =D

OK, I know that Bonettis defense will stop the use of Tainted Flesh, but only a for a few seconds while Healing Signet goes back up.

Haha. This is sort of a stupid build I just thought up of while I wait for my friend to come over. I'm trying to imagine running around getting everyone diseased and they all die slowly. That's sorta the goal here.

If anyone has ideas or suggestions that can strengthen this build it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! =D

Energy?

thats what bonetti for

think its a creative build, but is it time effiecient?

It does look fun.

lol after a bit of refinement, this should be a fun build

but yes, one of the problems i do see is energy (is that what the bonetti's is for?).

I could sort of see a similar build with a Ele/Necro (which may work better..not sure.) with some earth or water skills (although im not so familiar with eles).

Well yeah. The point of this build is to make farming more fun and exciting... Instead of the typical stay in one place and press buttons. That's boring. Now about energy... Maybe make a N/W and add more blood to make it more durable for the energy.

If someone can find a way to keep energy management as well as survival up, I think I'd have a very fun farming build on my hands =).

zealous axe haft+cyclone axe=energy. You may need more still though, and I think that sprint could probably be taken out (you're running around to gain aggro, not lose it) and maybe a well or something or other in its place, like suffering for massive degen. Just a couple thoughts. Also, is there a reason you have points in strength? Besides sprint? If not, drop it and put some more pionts in tactics and axe.

How about..

W/R
Apply Poison
Cyclone Axe
"Victory Is Mine!"
<fill the rest with whatever>

16 axe
11 tactics
8 wildersness

If you stand in a bunch of say 4 mobs, poison them all and hit ViM -> instant 200[+]hp and 20 energy heal. u can repeat every 15 seconds..

i use a similar build to this one

cyclone axe
watch yourself
bonnettis
dolyak signet
healing signet
Tainted Flesh
necrotic traversal
sprint

as soon as one of the monsters is dead, use Necrotic Traversal and the mob suddenly has 8 pips of degeneration.
