Default Quick and easy troll farming with video

Intro:
This build is actually unique as I have never seen anything like it before. So here it goes.

Skills:
Spirit bond
Glyph of lesser energy
Signet of judgement (can be subbed for anything almost)
Blessed Signet
Holy Wrath
Retribution
Blessed Aura
Life attunement

Attributes:
Prot: 14 (10+3)
Smite: 16 (12+4)
Divine Favor: 9 (8+1)

Items:
a full set of armor from piken square
FFS
a staff or focus to switch to in case

How to:
The core of this build is Spirit bond with life attunement because every time you get hit for over 60 you get healed for:
96*0.48+96= 142

You will however stil be taking the dmg but will be getting healed for the same amount therefor HW and Ret are perfect dmg dealers do the build

Step-by-step:

1-Cast enchants
2-use blessed sig for energy
3-Run to cave
4-aggro
5-cast SB then glyph
6-wait for SB to flash then recast it
7-watch them die
8-repeat 2-7 on next group(s)

This should take em down in about 13-15 seconds

I tried to make this guide as short as possible and maybe i made it too short so if there are any questions first consult video then just post em here.

Happy hunting

Nice build. A couple questions:

Is Energy a problem with this build?

I don't see how you can re-cast anything if Holy Wrath is draining all of your energy (-10 EN per hit). I'm downloading the video so I can see for myself...it's really slow downloading it for some reason.

Also since your not really using Signet of Judgement perhaps you should try Glyph of Renewal?

So you could do-

Glyph of Renewal
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Spirit Bond

Thoughts?

I like the video! Seems pretty effective. Is there a way to work around the Elementalist skills? Could one replace the Glyph with Divine Spirit, maybe? How dependent is the build on the Glyph?

Filefront is the devil I swear... it started out well at 70kb/s then declined to 20kb/s... then this...

whoa very good. only thing about elona is, they dont come all at once.
with minos on you consantly, not enough time to bless sig and get it up there for the next batch of em.
according to my fuzzy math, you could absorb 16~17 hits inwhich do like 1184~1258 total...

personlly, once I buy factions I'll try this out with the elite Aura of Faith...

Same thing happened to me o.o

I guess that's the drawback for a free upload site of that quality. From Usendit or Rapidshare, I tend to hit the Hundreds.

the point is, they kill themselves faster without knockdown, you could sub in shield of judgement but casting it will require more energy to use, signets dont need energy... also a plus was signet of judgment's recharge time to 25sec.

Very awsome build bro, I enjoyed trying it out.

I noticed on the video that you avoided the avicara, which I ended up finding the reason out for myself. Apparently the archers can't always do quite enough damage to trigger SB's healing, which ends your day pretty quick. I tried taking off all but the shoes and pants in order to increase the damage taken to trigger SB. It helped, but I decided to go a different path as well.

Retribution | Balth's Spirit | Essence Bond | Life Attune. | Blessed Signet | Spiteful Spirit | Reversal of Fortune | Spirit Bond

I put 11 att's in curses, about 12 in Protection, the rest into Smite and then Divine Favor. With this I could fairly easily farm the avi's just as i had with the 55 build. The speed without SS is slightly slower compared to 55'ing it however, but not being nearly as prone to interrupts makes it very simple to manage. The most difficult part was figuring out how much armor to wear in order to keep health at the maximum, but ended up just going with a full set of 15AL armor like the OP when facing the trolls. Also works well on the Elona minos.

Again, thanks for the insightful use of faction skills; I had already done a double take on this skill, but didn't realize how useful it could actually be!

Why do you wnat the build even faster? Why do you need thus build even faster? By the time you get enough energy to cast SS and cast it, the trolls are allready about dead.

If you might try soloing UW theres a couple of considerations you have to make.. First, be a Mo/W
.
-No energy. To resolve it you need to bring bonnetis defence and be able to cast spirit bond again.

-Maybe teh Aatxes will deal to much dmg to handle. To resolve this MAYBE add Aura of Faith to get alot more healing boost.

Armor- Definatly anything better then Piken.

My goal wasn't to make the build faster than the original (if you're comparing with the OP's build), rather able to farm creatures for longer than 2 casts of SB since it seems the fierce avicara's take a little longer to kill. This would make the build more universal, thus more useful. SS was simply an added bonus to make up for the lack of Holy Wrath.

I was casting SS before aggro, and then again when it recharged in 10 secs. Balth's Aura and Essence Bond makes for plenty of energy when facing 12+ trolls outside Droks, not even including blessed signet.

Point 1: Nope, can't... he's a mo/e, unless you are saying drop the glyph?
Point 2: Nope, he would have to do Vital blessing and prot spirit.
