Curse

I may be posting this prematurely as I just started playing around with the skills last night, but I thought if there's a known superior build for W/Mo farming of blessed griffons (55 w/mo?) it would save me some time. It started off as a troll farming build but I found that Bonetti's, while providing excellent energy recovery, was unreliable for it's blocking effect. Balthazar's alone provides enough energy, even against 1 remaining foe. Endure is critical to survive the initial assualt and can save you later on. This build can handle 3-4 griffons (or 3 griff and a shadow). Stats and equipment wise it's not optimal because this is my normal pve gear. I'm looking for input on how to make it better in all aspects, gear, stats, and skills.

Strength 13, Axe 9, Healing 9, Tactics 7

Razorstone, Exalted Aegis(str), Glad's chest/legs, Knight's head/hands/feet

Cyclone Axe
Watch Yourself!
Dolyak Signet
Balthazar's Spirit
Mending
Endure Pain
Healing Breeze
Vigorous Spirit

I'd change a few things now though.

Mending is most likely not needed; I'd add Sever Artery in it's place...take out Final Thrust and add Sun and Moon Slash...or anything that doesn't make you lose all adrenaline...Bonetti's could even be replaced with another attack skill.

Blessed Griffons, the ones in the shiverpeaks, are the ones he is referring to. They nerfed this farm by adding Stone Summit Heretics within the groups of blessed griffons, sorry but they just arent farmable anymore.

Bah, weren't there always some heretics around that area, but just don't spawn 100% of the time?

They dont always spawn, and blessed griffons are still farmable.

@Mera:

Read my original post...It is SPECIFICALLY written for Blessed Griffons

Elsydian · Aug 17, 2006, 04:05 AM // 04:05

even when they do spawn in the griffon groups it's usually possible to pull a few griffs alone.

I don't have access to factions yet but perhaps replacing watch yourself or endure pain with spirit bond and delaying dolyak's until after their opening attacks would prevent the massive loss of hps that makes taking 3+ so hard?

*thanks Hells, you brought to my attention the biggest error of my ways...not recognizing and moving to avoid symbol of wrath. I just assumed my best chance was to use dolyak's and tough it out but I may have a chance if I move before settling into my routine.

Armor isn't going to help you against Holy damage...which is why my build doesn't boost armor at all. It's pointless. There is a MASSIVE life gain from Hundred Blades...+6 from each Griffon from the vamp, and +24 from each from Live Vicariously. With 3 Griffons, you return 90 Health every 8 seconds. You just have to move out of Symbol of Wrath to survive. You can obliterate the Heretics easily with this build, but you'll have to use Healing Sig often.
