Curse

hyro yamaguchi · Jun 18, 2006, 04:37 PM // 16:37

This build is based on the 605 hp build which can be found here, and the 55hp Necro build which can be found here.

Armour: as low as possible, I reccomend the factions 15Al cabalist armour, because it's cheap and easy to get.

Weaponry:

Villnar's claw
Villnar's Glove

The attribute points distribution:

12+3+1 Curses
12 protection prayers
3+3 soul reaping

Skill setup:

1:Protective spirit (PS)
For 5-19 seconds, target ally cannot lose more than 10% max health due to damage from a single attack or spell.

2:Spirit bond (SB)
For 8 seconds, whenever target ally takes more than 60 damage from a single attack or spell, that ally is healed for 40-88 health.

3:Spiteful spirit {E} (SS)
For 8-18 seconds, whenever target foe attacks or uses a skill, Spiteful Spirit deals 5-29 shadow damage to that foe and all adjacent foes.

4:Reckless haste (RH)
For 5-17 seconds, target foe and all adjacent foes are hexed with Reckless Haste. While hexed, they attack 25% faster but have a 15-43% chance to miss with attacks..

5:Insidious parasite (IP)
For 8-18 seconds, whenever target foe hits with an attack, you steal 5-17 Health from that foe.

6:Guardian
For 5 seconds, Guardian has a 20-44% chance to "Block" attacks.

7:Balthazars spirit (BS)
While you maintain this "Enchantment", target ally gains adrenaline and Energy after taking damage. (The amount of adrenaline gained increases depending on your rank in Smiting Prayers.)

8:Essence bond (EB)
While you maintain this enchantment, whenever target ally takes physical or elemental damage, you gain 1 energy.

Theory behind the build

Now Protective spirit doesn't prevent Spirit bond from healing you, so you will actually be gaining more health than you will be losing, making the possible number of soloable trolls infinite!!!

The Run
Just sprint past the avicara keeping up PS and SB, the bow attacks might damage you, but just stop sometimes so that the warriors can take a swing at you; healing you.

When you get inside the troll cave, cast PS and SB prior aggroing, and aggro as many trolls as you can get.

REMIND AT ALL TIMES; KEEP UP PS AND SB!!!!
With more than 10 Trolls on your tail you'd be death in the blink of an eye, when your enchants would fail.

Now cast SB, then cast SS (I usually cast RH before SS to power it's effect).

If correctly this shoudl happen without getting interupted.

The next times you cast SS, the trolls will interupt you, so cast guardian before SS.

Now when a single troll is left cast IP on it, to kill it (so you don't have to recast SB which will save you energy)

When you're done don't bother killing the bosses because it is as slow as it is boring; just warp back.

Now I daresay that this is the most easy troll soloing build around there!

I think the ele builds are easier, you just cast like 3 enchants in the beginning, cast like 3 skills after the aggro. Wait like 20 seconds, recast damage skills, and they are dead. No need to worry about interrupt, and armor spells pretty much make you invincible, and you dont need to worry about renewing the long duration enchantments.
Just my take.

This is; cast 2 enchants at the start, go towards the cave, rush in, aggro and fight all the trolls, and both your health and your energy stay constant, only cast some skills; with 2 SS on them they'd be death in no time. Well at least far more easy than any 55hp or warrior build.

So like.. you use 15AL Cabalist armour with the HP upgrade? :S

TadaceAce · Jun 24, 2006, 12:36 AM // 00:36

this is easier than war build? cast 2 enchants, aggro.. cyclone, bonettis, triple chop, bonettis, cyclone bonettis, triple chop bonettis... tough.. Not to mention you get sprint and a lot more armor to ditch anything on the way.

Arkantos · Jun 24, 2006, 12:41 AM // 00:41

I still think W/Mo is the easiest. Cast 2 enchantments, aggro trolls, glads cyclone bonettis cyclone bonettis cyclones glads. But this build is good, too.

By this if you mean you cannot take on more then 10 trolls with the enchants, then this build isnt that good. As a warrior you can take on 16+ at a time.

Screw crafting armor or getting my health up. I did this with 405hp and only 1 piece of armor, a +4 curses headgear.

Bloodied Blade · Jun 25, 2006, 12:54 AM // 00:54

I'm gonna disaggree with Arkantos... I think Gladiator's Defense is one of the slowest AoE damage dealers. I want my soj anyday...it lasts longer too.

Hmm...there are probably some more interesting skills that we could combo with the build.

I never said glads was good. In fact its pretty crappy. Just used it for an example.

SoJ build with 16 Smiting and 13 Divine ftw! I used 55 Necro build too but they do interrupt PS sometimes

Tarzan The Chetta · Jul 12, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Did this a while ago, works pretty good, though I did it with 360 hp. As for trolls interrupt skills...as stated earlier...use gaurdian

Read the post again. He said when theres 1 troll left cast IP on it. Reading ftw?

Apple · Aug 14, 2006, 01:12 PM // 13:12

there is no reason whatsoever for you to take insidious parasite... if you pull off the combo correctly, everything should die at the same time. Desecrate enchants is better at finishing people off.

crazeeeeh · Aug 20, 2006, 05:50 AM // 05:50

ow btw i used a +5 energy sword of enchanting
and my offhand is a 20SR/20SC curses one i think its better for longer ench and more energy

Thanas · Aug 27, 2006, 11:34 AM // 11:34

To the OP, I came up with the same build bar the insidious parasite a short while ago and I found it to be reasonably effective. My only qualm with the build is that most of the spells have a high energy rq, thus fighting the last few remaining trolls can sometimes be a little time consuming. I was wondering though, do you use this build for anything else. I have tested this build in other locations and I must say I do not think it is as versatile as the 55 build. For example Conjure flame, lightening etc and barbs are a huge problem. Does anyone else know of other limitations?

I know I'm replying to an off topic comment, but I just wanted to say that glads is a far better skill than Soj. Granted with Soj you get ~50dmg for each attack. However you have to wait for the KD'ed creature to get up and attack again. Whilst with Glads, there is no discernable pause in the attacks. If anything you will probs get 2 glads attacks in for every SOJ attack, with glads around 35dmg this makes glads the better skill. Also with my W/E build Glads is infinite. SOJ as I recollect is not infinite, even if you echo it. Also just to note, I can kill the trolls in 35-45 seconds with my warrior.
