I got a W/El and I'm trying to farm all sorts of monsters but it's hard. Anyone got tips for a build or some specific monsters to farm? Im currently using Hammer/earth and I'll probably stick to that.

Well, either Conditions and ViM or 16 Tac heal signet with a stance. You're gonna need some way to sustain yourself during a mobbing, and those are your options (Mist Form without QZ isn't really).

I'm not sure if theres a decent way to do that as KD/AS - I guess it works okay if you go with a quick knockdown and Bellysmash. Just figure out ways to keep the conditions out there. Maybe something like Whirlwind/AS for damage and Hammer Bash/Belly Smash for conditions. Armor of Earth to tank like a madman, Bonettis for regen, Dolyak Signet for the +AL and anti knockdown and of course Victory is Mine.

Shrug, no idea if it would sustain itself well enough. With any other method of conditioning it would be easy.

Edit : Fuggit, I'll try it later on with my Warr. I'm curious now.

I thought about it, and you might just use Desperation Blow for an extra condition - and Whirlwind/Bellysmash for the blinds. That lets you tweak things by lowering your Hammer Mastery, and putting it all into Earth and Tactics.

(Not that it wouldn't anyway, but thought I'd point it out. Although for the extra damage, you can probably swing 9 or 10 hammer mas so that you get that magical req-step)

Other than that, ViM benefits hugely from higher tactics so that goes nicely in hand with dblow.
