This is my favourite farming build. It's a 8hp strategy that is based arround a 45s healing hands.

Beats 30 Melee Mobs easily and could maybe take on about twice that many.

Comments are appreciated!

can't see the video right now...or read that freaky deaky dutch

but im guessin that you archane echo HH and when you get the timing down you can have it up for the 45s...actually not a bad idea at all

muddog · Sep 23, 2005, 07:38 PM // 19:38

thats a very ingenious way of farming! the only downside i can possibly see to that build is the death penalty, when you kill all the baddies at once, your health will skyrocket, but i don't think that will really matter because there won't be enough guys left to kill you after.

right after the protective bond nerf i had tried the exact same skill set but i kept dying right after casting arcane echo. i was doing this with the 55 health build with no dp so healing breeze wouldn't keep me alive against that many monsters. because of this i eventually abandonded the idea and went to the traditional protective spirit build.

i can't wait to try this when i get home

thanks for sharing this with us!

Thats awesome, a lot more risky than using Shield of judge and traditional 55hps but I am happy someone can think outside the box. Well done mate.

@glockjs :
It's the homepage of our german guild. If you can't find your way through,
you can just take this link
But your guess about the skills is exactly right!

@muddog
We had the same idea! LOL

If you want to continue farming after the first fight then (by changing armor) you could turn it into a 55 build. That way you can still take on about 18 enemies.

muddog · Sep 24, 2005, 03:24 PM // 15:24

i was doing a bit of experimenting yesterday, and i found that it is sometimes possible to skip arcane echo and just rely on healing breeze till healing hands recharges....which leads me to believe that healing hands might not even be necessary. the fact that you are only taking 1 damage and healing breeze gives health regen of 7 or higher (depending on your level of course) should be enough to keep you alive, depending on how many guys you have aggroed.

Nice, cool video

B0nes · Sep 24, 2005, 06:31 PM // 18:31

@muddog
With +9-10 health regen you don't need healing hands as long as you have <20 health. I think if you time healing hands right you could throw out arcane echo...
You would need a lot of concentration because you could die in a second when the malus is gone.

The cool thing under 45sec healing hands is , that you could take on any amount of enemies!
Would love to use it on like 60 or 90 mobs!

If there were a map editor i would create a nice farming challenge now...

omfgwtf, how the hell?

bigfatguy · Sep 24, 2005, 06:53 PM // 18:53

can someone explain this build to me

dready · Sep 25, 2005, 02:13 PM // 14:13

ok i tried this build out and works great love it thanks... you can also die again when rezzed with you -15% DP you can run around and gather up all the minotors too

muddog · Sep 25, 2005, 03:58 PM // 15:58

well, i guess its totally possible to do without arcane echo and healing hands, i replace them with more smiting, and i just keep spamming protective spirit and healing breeze constantly to keep my health up when the death penalty returns to zero. i guess this is another way to do monk/* farming

ubard · Sep 25, 2005, 11:14 PM // 23:14

i don't get it, isn't that a warrior there... i don't see how it is a mo/me... maybe i d/led the wrong video...

EDIT: yep, i did. will edit with comments on the actual one

EDIT: lol, that's too funny, gj man.

A User Name · Sep 25, 2005, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Could someone translate those skills to english (i mean on the website lol) i dont no german. but i get the arcane encho and healing hands part though.

carnivore · Sep 25, 2005, 11:33 PM // 23:33

so healing hand is absolutley neccessary? looks like breeze is doing good on its own at first

edit: how does he get 80 health? i thought it would be from a fortitude mod but it says he has an enchanting mod on the axe

mikechap · Sep 26, 2005, 12:50 AM // 00:50

what are you all playing the video with?... cause wmp says something about error downloading codec.

Mister Glue · Sep 26, 2005, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Actually, I've been doing the 8-health build since the FOW patch and I've noticed that spamming guardian, prot spirit and breeze works just as well as healing hands, even after you get back up to 80 health, and it does quite a bit of damage via Zealot's Fire. But still, that's a great idea.

carnivore · Sep 26, 2005, 01:26 PM // 13:26

well i figured how he got 80 health. but now i dont know why, wouldnt healing hands work regardless? or is it just so he could gather all of them at once and not die...

and finally, is there like some special route i dunno about cuz he doesnt agro a single rockshot

Arton · Sep 26, 2005, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Depends on the instance. Sometimes the Rockshots do not spawn and sometimes they do. If they do just keep runnin and you will lose them while gathering your real targets.
