Default Griffon Farming N/Mo

I haven't tried this build against anything else but Griffons and a few Minotaurs, but it works quite well. However, once you run into Rockshot Devours, then you may start to panic.

Attributes:
16 Curses
5 Blood
10 Healing
8 Protection

Skills:
1.) Spiteful Spirit
2.) Suffering
3.) Protective Spirit
4.) Orison of Healing
5.) Healing Breeze
6.) Essence Bond
7.) Balthazar's Spirit
8.) Mending

Armor: (Scar Armor) Prefferebly, -50 Cesta

Before you run gathering mobs, put all the enchantments on yourself of course and put on Protective Spirit before you run.

If there are Rockshot Devours attacking you, of course make it waste it's disrupt on Suffering. If none of them are there attacking you, cast Spiteful Spirit and Suffering and start attacking while you tank. You should do over 50 dmg every second I think. Pretty basic farming build.

Hope it helps. Thanks to Undead Preacher for some of the skills/attributes.

that would just start costing a bit tad of energy, dont ya think? that would make spiteful, suffering and that combined 45 energy, with an energy regen of 1... i suppose it depends how hard ur hit.

Drop suffering for Guardian so you won't be interrupted.

Your regeneration won't coop with the mass amount of hits you'll receive when you farm griffons. That's why you need Insidious Parasite, plus you'll be hit alot so you get free mana.

I always farm with my 55hp, and I use IP and Healing Breeze for my healing. I don't need orizon, you will have all the energy you need when 5 griffons are on ya. You can keep Healing Breeze on the hole time and cast IP on one of the Griffons. Don't cast SS and IP on the same griffon!
I never used guardian, I have Desecrate Enchantments for that. I know the intrurrupting sucks but you can do a lil' bit more dmg with DE. I use DE very often when I'm farming. I like hydra farming more than griffon farming. It goes alot faster and I always had better items there. When you're farming Hydras, you have to count the foes around you and the meteors, when they all used the meteor you can cast safely. Most of the times Hydras wont get a second change for another meteor.

When farming the griffons my set up:

Attributes:
5 blood
16 Curses
9 Healing (peak of the Healing)
9 Protection (nice time on PS with about 5 sec change for healing BZ)
Rest in Soul Reaping


Skills:
1.) Spiteful Spirit
2.) Insidious Parasite
3.) Desecrate Enchantments
4.) Protective Spirit
5.) Healing Breeze
6.) Essence Bond
7.) Balthazar's Spirit
8.) Mending

The bugs just cast PS then click on them and cast SS normally if you get surprised use IP it’s a faster cast and will normally not get interrupted (normally).

The thing I hate is some griffons will not engage you they wait out there so you have to round up some more with this straggler nip at you. Sure its nice energy but better if you could round them all up.
