i have been looking at posts of W/Mo builds for farming and i have noticed that most do not use streangth why is this i mena doesnt streangth give you some Deffence?

Unless your using a Strength based skill, all it does is give 1% armour penetration per Strength point. Not using sword to kill while farming much and using no Strength skill, no point for it.

The Pirate · Oct 21, 2005, 08:25 PM // 20:25

so streangth has nothing to do on how much damage you do??

Knido · Oct 21, 2005, 08:41 PM // 20:41

itll add some damage if your using cyclone axe or hudred blades, but thats about it

The Pirate · Oct 21, 2005, 08:44 PM // 20:44

oh so theres no need for it?

lord_shar · Oct 21, 2005, 08:46 PM // 20:46

I use strength = 7 just for an 11-second sprint... comes in handy when you want to isolate griffons and minotaurs from those annoying rockshots.

The Pirate · Oct 21, 2005, 08:48 PM // 20:48

oh thats rite i knew i was using streangth i use sprint, thanx

Knido · Oct 21, 2005, 08:50 PM // 20:50

0 strength and 8 seconds is good nough for me :P

The Pirate · Oct 21, 2005, 08:51 PM // 20:51

true, i mean how long do creatures chase you?

Knido · Oct 21, 2005, 08:54 PM // 20:54

well pretty much right after you hit sprint, the devourers get off you and in like 2 more seconds the minos are gone, so you dont need it for more than 5 seconds really

The Pirate · Oct 21, 2005, 08:55 PM // 20:55

oh ok so no need for streanght at all?

Knido · Oct 21, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03

nope, just go 11 axe, 10 healing, 10 tactics and your good to go

Jetdoc · Oct 21, 2005, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Again, there is a different build for each situation and based on your preferences.

It depends on what you're farming...Dolyak Signet can be very valuable at a high strength in farming certain things. Some people like smiting to speed up the process. Some like healing for damage prevention.

It all depends on what you want...that's what is great about this game...there is no one right answer.

Knido · Oct 21, 2005, 09:13 PM // 21:13

yea, well my warrior didnt get that far and im using gladiators defense (which i think pwns any smiting skill) and didnt unlock dolyak yet, so the attributes i just mentioned just refer to my specific build

Jesus it's not that hard. I did it with henchies.

Perhaps you just don't want to invest the time it takes? Took me a few hours....

lord_shar · Oct 21, 2005, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Both my war/monk and nec/mesmer have complete elites... did it all with henchies too...

Valdis · Oct 21, 2005, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I have known forever that I needed sprint in my build when farming griffons, but i cant seem to find the skill to drop for it. I use all my skills in almost every fight.

I might need some help with it. If you want, contact me ingame so i can tell you my build and then maybe come up with a solution.

SCOTTYBONES · Oct 22, 2005, 04:55 AM // 04:55

Pirate,

If you plan on farming griffons with a w/mo, you should go with smiting , healing and tactics. There is absolutely no need for strength nor axe mastery.
Use smiting skills to do the majority of your damage, its much quicker (=more runs = more gold).
