It works great, real easy too.

If you don't see the image transparent then you need to get firefox

Quick question: able to use with axes? I mean like you know... no riposte but axe skill instead? I would use my brain but I'm no axe user.

By the way, what are you guys doing with the claws, just selling them at the merchant or is there something better to do with it ?

Niosisw · Mar 23, 2006, 12:25 PM // 12:25

I've seen a few people wanting to buy them from me for the collector....

Not much profit though, and those people are hard to find. The collector's stuff isn't that amazing.

Not sure taking on Hydra's should be considered a feat... my Me/E can take on at least 8 of them and survive easily.

krytas · Mar 24, 2006, 01:00 PM // 13:00

I just sell em, nor do I wait till its in the 100s, after one run I sell the useless items ^_^. Except the rares though..but i'm still crying over the fact a gold FDS dropped...15-21 =[.

so where is the best place to go to find Azure Shadows that can be reached easily?

Reckless Abandon · Mar 27, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

This is a nice build, but somehow I still love my 55.....

Heres one of me taking a few.

Nothing great has dropped so far except this axe....

I'm not sure if you can see it any good....

But hey, it's fun.

As for the claws, I just like to keep them all, kind of bragging rights I guess.....
I know one girl that has one whole character filled with stacks of 250.... I have respect for her just because of that....

cuevas · Mar 30, 2006, 02:45 AM // 02:45

wow i love this build for hydras...in my first 2 runs i got like 3k w/ drops and all

kanuks · Mar 30, 2006, 09:16 AM // 09:16

I use :

Flurry
Deadly riposte
riposte
watch yourself
defy pain
dolyak signet
healing sig
sprint (Only to make the run faster, it really accelerates it)

I use a zealous modded weapon with 15% damage into stances and the collector stance shield, the key is to flurry so u score a lot of hits and have both watch yourself and defy pain constantly in use. With dolyak signet on top of that, u barely need to heal so u score more hits and its easier to run the combo. I use 5 superior runes including sup swordsmanship, tactics and strenght. With flurry on, i have 350 health thanks to the shield and its easily enough since u take barely no damage and the +life granted by defy pain makes it real easy to survive. Tanking 8 hydras is really easy for me. Oh and i use platemail armor with ascalon helm which i think is better than glads in because hydras makes elemental damage. I put 16 into tactics so it kills the hydras very quickly, i think 12 in strenght and the res into swordsmanship, and healin sig gives you a lot of life which means less healing required.

I suggest to salvage all the scrolls since they almost always gives 4 or 5 rolls of parchments.

I think there is a group of them at the south entrance to Camp Rankor...Except there's a boss there, so be careful.

Blitzy · Mar 31, 2006, 07:32 AM // 07:32

Nice and easy build, great stuff. I find it easiest when you can get about 6 in the one go...perfect for just spamming skills to your heart's content.

Teh Diablo · Apr 03, 2006, 11:13 PM // 23:13

Nice build, my first run the most I could take down was like 3, lol. My best it 6 so far. This build works very well with Desert Griffons, I take 5 on and my health barely even goes down.

Good job & Thanks!

Mother_Goose · Apr 05, 2006, 07:59 AM // 07:59

Very nice.
I used Endure Pain instead of Defy Pain because I couldn't be bothered to go out an cap Defy Pain (well, not at the moment, just wanted to test build

.
Works like a charm!

Dollztempta · Apr 08, 2006, 05:13 PM // 17:13

This build is really awesome, before this hydra farm build i used W/E with Armor of Earth, Obsidian Flesh combination, but this is much faster build

My record taking hydras is now 8-10. I dont even want try over 10, since 8 is bit hard, as health goes by 200.

Really nice work, dont feel no pain.

XBC · Apr 08, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

After doing multiple Oro tanking trips, I decided to come back to my old pastime of Hydra farming(I use a slightly different W/Mes build), and the first group of 6 I took on dropped 3 golds including a Max Gold Flamberge

(my favorite skin mode[turned out to be a 13%stance/1-1 zealous).

My build is something like :
* Defy Pain
* Doylak
* Riposte
* Deadly Riposte
* Ele Resistance
* "Watch Yourself!"
* Healing Signet
* Sever Artery(variable)
I just spam Sever and Ripostes/Defy. Works realy well, and Ele Resistance pretty much completely negates all of their damage.
My axe build just switches in Exc. Strike/Pen. Blow/Dismember
My best group was 9, but I could have probably held 10 if I could have lived through the pulling.

HellBoy · Apr 09, 2006, 01:55 AM // 01:55

Running this build right now having an absolute blast. TY

liner · Apr 09, 2006, 11:34 AM // 11:34

cheers

cryoes · Apr 09, 2006, 01:34 PM // 13:34

Good build, its nice to see someone try something different then W/Me for tanking hydras and such.
