Exclamation BEST TROLL FARMIN BUILD EVER--easy to get also--

Heres how u FARM trolls.

only flaw in this build is that u can ONLY farm [war] type monsters.

U MUST BE ele/me

The best way 2 do this is in this order
1.-arcane echo
---------------------------Use first so u can copy mist form
2.-Mist form [elite]
--------------------------take no dmg deal none 'cept for spells
3.- Glyph of minor energy
--------------------------u need all the energy u can get so use this wisely
4.-Flame Burst
-----------------dmg
5.-Inferno
-----------------dmg
6.-phoenix
-----------------dmg
7.-Meteor
-----------------dmg-----dont worry bout exhoustion
8.-Fire atunement
-----------------u need as must energy as possible to kill them

Basicly if u do it right u get 45 seconds of taking no dmg

This is an amzing SOLO farming build.

This is almost the same as a 55 monk just more AoE and only 45 seconds of no dmg

WORKS VERY WELL WITH A TRAPPER

I recomend these attributes

DONT WORRY BOUT HEALTH SO GET ALL SUP RUNES

Fire--13
Water--9 Min
Energy storage--MAX---should have 90 with energy 15 staff---i use ragos

This build works every time no matter wat u just need to remember to echo mist in begining remember agro as many as possible

Have fun

Imo, Channeling is pretty sweet for this Ele... A few points to Inspiration, and max Fire magic ffs.. its the dmg of the build, more dmg = faster runs = More runs = more Money.. And since Channeling give Lots of energy then take out the gylph and take in another Fire skill like meteor shower or Rodgorts I..

Also, dont take too many Sups.. Normally you cast echo, aggro, then Mistform.. Witch can make you take a little dmg while aggroing.. So Safer not to take lots of Sups when it aint really needed... you need to refresh Mistform before The echoed one runs out anyway.. And as long as Fire is 16 and you got a few to inspiration its perfectley fine..

I was very intrigued by the build and so I played around with it outside of Droknar's in the Troll Cave. A really good build! However, I do have these suggestions:

Replace Phoenix and Meteor with Burning Speed and Frozen Burst. I've found that the trolls can and will interrupt any cast over 1s long. Frozen burst is another AoE spell, water linked. I really only use it when necessary. Secondly, burning speed will help you get past the avicara at the entrance to the cave as well as away from the bosses when you're done killing their minions. Oh, and it's REALLY fun to see 15 burning trolls...

Thanks for the build! Very happy that there's a good farming build out there for something other than a warrior

good build, however, it is almost impossible to power lvl someone because 55's/tanks can cast healing spells (word of healing etc.) e/me can't, you can use mist form, that spell is only for you , So when people in you guild ask you to power lvl, you can't unless you have a perfect shot 30% chance to the cave. Thats why tanks and 55's are kind of better, BUT THIS IS MONEY MAKING MACHINE

Earth is better. Channeling + Mantra of Resolve. Whirlwind/Earthquake + Aftershock every 10 seconds. Crystal Wave armor ignoring damage.

How long does it take to take down all of them? a Rt/Me kills them in exactly 30 seconds.

Dang, was hoping this was an earth build. I found a great earth scroll with amor +7 vs trolls that I have been holding onto forever for some reason figuring a troll farmer would make good use of it.

Enchant removal will get you killed. And the fire spells are agro breakers, although that probably doesn't matter much since if you were to solo it you would be the only agro around.

This is the build I use:

1. Arcane Echo
2. Mist Form {E}
3. Flame Burst
4. Inferno
5. Phoenix
6. Mantra of Resolve
7. Channeling
8. free slot

Your build is ok, but take Channeling instead of Fire Attunement


PS. Don't use Caps Lock please I hate when people use it

Rawr I tell you people BRING SLIVER ARMOR!!!!
Theres a glitch with it so when you have Mist Form on and you put up sliver armor you have a 100% chance to block attacks and deal damage. This will prevent interrupts and deal pretty good damage depending on how long you have it lasting and how many trolls you have pulled.


Oh btw the 55 I-necro SS troll farm build is still much better. Haha this build has to run past the avicara.

Hmmm..I shall try this theory and confirm or deny it on the morrow Would be very sweet if I can get it to work. But remember, mist form doesn't make you block attacks, you just don't take damage (hence why trolls still build adr, can interrupt you, etc). I was thinking about maybe bringing symp visage so they can't interrupt me but it seemed like a waste. Let's try this sliver armor thing out.

Channeling instead of fire attune also sounds good, I shall try this as well.

Trolls gain adrenaline because of the damage you deal. They do not get it from hitting you.

Grr listen to me that is why it is a glitch no where does it say mist form blocks anything and yet with it sliver armor acts as if it does.

Trolls are different than we are in terms of adrenaline gain? That would be very stupid if it were true. On a player adrenaline is gained by your attacks and hits received both. Why would an enemy work different on a very fundamental level?

Actually they do get it from hitting you. Nowhere in mist form's description does it say it blocks attacks. The enemy does still "hit" you, thus gaining adrenaline but does no damage. Please consult guildwiki on mist form for this. An excerpt from guildwiki:

"However, although using Mist Form prevents one from taking damage from attacks, the attacks will still hit, and any possible conditions delivered by those attacks will still come through, such as Poison from Poison Arrow, or Deep Wound from Dismember."


Secondly, to Tykane, calm down please. I am a scientist; I like to try things out for myself. I went and tried sliver armor, and I'm not sure how to confirm that it is glitching and blocking 100% of attacks. The level I have it (which isn't very high) is blocking 37% normally. I guess I'm going to have to repeat it until I actually get disrupted when sliver armor is up.

EDIT: Well, there it is. I was in a group of trolls and I had mist form up. I waited awhile then cast sliver armor right before I had to recast mist form. Mist form was indeed still on me when I went to recast it, but it was wearing off. They interrupted my recast of mist form. Thus, I cannot believe that there is a glitch that causes sliver armor to block 100% of attacks with mist form.
