Curse

History: the idea just kinda poped into my head during english class in school, so i combined the idea of a W/Me hydra farmer and an IDS regenerating runner, so now i proudly present a very cool build that didnt let me down in the past weeks. I hope it works for you too. Otherwise F*** off <- just kiding

Profession: [Warior/Monk]
Name: [DNK Hydra farmer]
Type: [PvE - Farming]
Category: [Tank]
Attributes: [Strength 12 + 1 + 3, Swordsmanship 8 (+1), Protection Prayers 9, Smiting Prayers 2]
Skills Set:
-Balanced set [Sever Artery, Gash, Final Thrust, Shield of Regeneration, Dolyak Signet, Sprint, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit]

-Hitpoint boost set [Sever Artery, Endure Pain, Final Thrust, Shield of Regeneration, Dolyak Signet, Sprint, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit]

-Adrenalin set [Sever Artery, "You Will Die!", Final Thrust, Shield of Regeneration, Dolyak Signet, Sprint, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit]

Usage: When you enter Skyward Reach, use Essence Bond. Then wait for energy to recharge. When you have max energy again (i reckon about 26) and then use Balthazar's Spirit. You now have either 16 energy or 14 energy and +1 swordsmaship. Also you can have energy boost from focuses. Run up to the first pack of hydras (i recomend you engage a pack of 2 when you solo for the 1. time and then 3 and 4). Killing 1 hydra is the hardes because of lack in energy and adrenalin (you dont get as much buffs from enchantments). I managed to kill 5 hydras with endure pain but just barely, anything above 4 hydras with this build is usualy suicide.

Counters:
Well the Hydras will become raving-mad if you get knocked down, so be sure to have a stopwatch ready to tell you when 20 sec have passed to order another signet use.

Notes:
This build can fetch up 1k per run <- gold drops (non weapon

) + items of all sorts, if you use you're brains when farming, a run takes about 15-20 min.

Check the radar allways for incoming mobs of hydras (if you are fighting 3 hydras and 2-3 hydras aggro you, you're in trouble).

Dont try to kill centaurs if you intend to be a "survivor". <- otherwise this build is totaly XP farming too and you can hardly ever get killed.

c ya [apologies for my previous absence i have neglected my other topics (not this one

)]
