I'm slower than that, not because killing the trolls is slow but because I have to fight battles on the way there more often than not. Do you run past anybody? I just kill them all. More fun that way, if less profitable, and anyway I have an earth build where that's the only option.

Well, I guess you could also just walk to the cave while guys are attacking you and have a huge slaughter once you get there, but that would slightly increase the probability of something going wrong and killing you, and besides I think there's a real risk of body-blocks preventing one from doing that anyway.

I love trolls, I make a nice income off their tusk alone.

yeah I run straight to the cave, I use a mist form build so I just tack that on and run through if I cant avoid em, since my build requires a mass amount of mobs around me at once I usually dont do too well with the avrica. My offensive spells are inferno phoenix and flame burst so the rangers make it difficult also.

Got it.

I use an Ether Renewal build, which is probably slower, but definitely more versatile.

I guess if I get bored with it I can do the Mist Form build for variety.

How often do you die using this? (Disrupting Chop + Mist Form = unhappy elementalist, I would think.)

not very often, I use Whirlwind and cast it while theyre down, so no probs there, if I get interrupted its when I cast Phoenix or Channeling sometimes. The main way I usually die is if I get unlucky and I wasnt able to kill them all after I use mist for the third time, or when I cast another spell when its flashing and dont get it off in time.

Got it. Thanks.

I think Earth builds are probably, all things as considered, as good for killing, but I must confess they fall short on the running side.
