Curse

Inspired by a previous thread which described how to harness the power of EoE to farm Grawl with a Ranger, and encouraged by the apparent potential of the new Faction's skill 'Triple Chop,' I've devised a build which is both easy to use and massively effective when all goes well.The skills, runes and equipment are as follows..

Skills:
Triple Chop {e}
Cyclone Axe
Bonetti's Defense
Shield Stance
Healing Signet
Sprint(not strictly required)
Predatory Season
Edge of Extinction

Attibutes: Axe Mastery 14(10+3+1)
Beast Mastery 11
Rest in Tactics,with a Superior rune.

Equipment: Vampiric Axe of Fortitude
Any shield with bonuses while in a stance, the desert collector's
crimson carapace shield is cheap and ideal.

Full Gladiator's Armour, with Knight's Boots.

Directions: Starting from Port Sledge, make your way northwards towards the large group of Grawl; you really can't miss them. Put down EoE and Pred slightly out of their aggro range. Once the spirits are in place, activate Sprint and charge into the the grawl, aggroing as many foes as possible. Once you have a large enough mob chasing you, execute Shield Stance, making sure you are within range of the spirits. Begin hitting your foes with Cyclone Axe and Triple Chop, using Healing Signet as required. Once Shield stance ends, enter into Bonneti's Defense, and continue to spam your two attack skills, making sure to immediately rexecute Bonneti's as soon as it's recharged(since there should be at least eight Grawl surrounding you, this should be instantaneous.)
Repeat this cycle until the Grawl begin dying; if you've aggroed enough foes, the crones should die from the resulting EoE bomb. If not, finish the job yourself.
Please note that this build is not foolproof- if you have the misfortune to be knocked down and hit with Belly Smash, it could well be game over for you.

Any comments or suggestions for improvement are welcomed.

When I run out of Shield Stance, I started dying...
How you can survive that long?

Looks pretty good. I'll definatly try this tonight. I think this is the same as many Troll farming builds. Cyclone + Bonetti's, which is easy enough to handle

One thing, doesnt the resulting EoE Bomb kill you aswell? I mean there are a hell of alot of Grawl there that can EoE themselves.

The EoE spirit do dmg to things of the same kind, so unless you are a Grawl yourself, then you are complitely safe..

Yeah it is harder then troll farming due to necromancers

AscalonWarrior · May 16, 2006, 05:00 PM // 17:00

I tried this build today, chanced couple skill, like Triple Chop to Glads Defense

I managed to kill Grawls, but the Grawl Crones didn't die within EoE bomb..
How you can get enough Grawls to do that?

Rinse and repeat...

Well just a thought but would this work on onis with a lil added healing or def support might have to try that out.

Racthoh · Jun 26, 2006, 02:57 AM // 02:57

Are you able to wipe the bosses as well, or would that require more grawls?

daraaksii · Jul 24, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

I can't survive any rounds... if you can, please put a video.

Julen · Jul 25, 2006, 12:08 PM // 12:08

i think they changed the spawn, its hard to get at least 8 melee grawl attacking you

]SK[ · Jul 25, 2006, 12:09 PM // 12:09

EoE doesnt seem to have a high AoE. I can kill melee but the necros who stand off don't take EoE damage. They changed this in an update?

daraaksii · Jul 25, 2006, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Nerf ftw

Im Perfect U Aint · Jul 25, 2006, 10:12 PM // 22:12

um for the knockdown...u could use doly and ony use bonetti's as a stance

LiamR · Aug 08, 2006, 05:35 PM // 17:35

How about instead of sprint, which isnt needed, antidote sig? Cures the blind problem

zadinos · Aug 09, 2006, 07:42 AM // 07:42

I have a build for you guys.

Try this

Skills

Grenths Balance
Bonetti
Ripost
Deadly Ripost
Healing Signet
Doylak
Silwering Slash
Tiger Stance

Oki now you think what will he do with those skills , its pretty easy. I can kill all with this build at Port Sledge except monk but with dist blow maybe him too i dont know havent done this in long time.

You need 2 swords one with andrenalin build and one Victos blade.

Il explaine ,andrenalin sword to use ripost and bonnetti to gain energy and victos for necros.
Kill first warriors dont care about necros they dont do so much dmg with doylak on.
After go for em with victos use tiger stance and silwering to steal double hp 6.
They will die like flys. You wonderin why i have grenths its because of the bosses and they drop nice items , got 2 sup vigor from em.
When you agro bosses use andrenalin sword and attack em use ripost and deadly ripost to clear out the warriors and steal hp from the boss when needed.
When warriors are dead you can eather go for necros or just continue to hit boss ,our choice.

Gd Luck withe this and ppl keep farming

You may ignore this build now, it's redundant since the armour/absorption update. It was never as good as many of the other grawl farming builds in the first place, just more fun.

zadinos · Aug 17, 2006, 06:10 AM // 06:10

My build works iv done it for couple of days and it works. I didnt managed to kill healer but i killed all other bosses.
Stoped doing it do cos no gd drops anymore.But chests are gd there i got perfect enhanchment for axe there from chest last time.

Legendary Shiz · Aug 17, 2006, 08:08 AM // 08:08

So EoE builds are still workable after the AoE nerf...good to know.
