I have an ice blighter build elementalist, which I'm planning to conver to ele/mo for farming. Can you ppl please help me with what skills i need to equip for farming? I know farming questions are a bad manner lately, but I'm not asking you to disclose your farming spots. Just help me with the appribute pts and skills please. Also, I'm wondering is it's even possible to SOLO UW with such a build.

I farm with my E/Mo... most of my skills to fire, energy storage and healing monk skills...

Since I don't farm using ice... I can't be of much help. Only can say that my E/Mo is not tough enough to go solo in the underworld... I tend to burn a lot of charr though in 1-2 casts of magic.

there is this one spot thats really good for almost any ranged character to farm. if you go out of dunes, in the teleporter, then head all the way to the right, you sorta move around left (this is so unclear lol), and theres like this group of 15-20 sand giants. they are ridiculously easy to farm because something about their ai makes them really lazy chasers. they just kinda give up you after a bit.

so

i did this on my air ele at one point, all you do is go up, aggro 3 of em, take one, spike him, run till he gives up (he gives up in like 2 seconds, so don worry), then do it again etc. occaisonally he will get close. and it hurts. so bring healing breeze.

one other thing: usually a devourer of some kind spawns with the sand giants. and unlike them, he chases you to hell. so if you want you can just run with him following until ur far away, then kill him (theyre pretty squishy, just try to avoid distracting shot), then go hit the giants.

from some pretty massive experiance in that one spot, ill just briefly outline the pros and cons of it:

pros: theres a portal nearby. once you killed the giants, hop in and and you got another full set to kill.
its pretty fast

cons: the most common drop ur gonna get is a gold, max dmg, GIANT SLAYERS HAMMER. you get used to them *really* fast. and they are way hard to sell. although you could luck out and get a really nice one, but usually you get the standard gold one with some pretty pathetic mods.

well, assuming you find it, good luck.... post if ur really having trouble finding/using it.

oh and one last thing: if you want rune drops like the ettins over in kryta, this is the *wrong place*. totally. ive never got a single rune from like 200 of em.
