Havent a good nuker build but i still havent tested for soloing. offensive skills are

Meteor shower
archane echo
glymph of sacrifice
seering heat

defence the standard Armor earth and kenetic armour maybe ( ull have to carry a spam spell for kinetic armor)

u cast archane echo then just as u aggro hit meteor shower... should reach u by the time it's over so meteor over your head. then sacrifice the echoed meteor shower to get 2 showers and hit seering heat. seering causes scatter but being knocked down so often they dont usually escape it. as u can imagine it's very energy intessive maybe u can use elemental attunment or ether renewal. i'll try ettins and post back if i find a good build

straight fire
key skills meteor storm and aura of restoration..
the rest are flexible but i reccommend lots of area of effect spells.

my ettin build is

flare
fireball
rodgorts invocation
meteor storm
phenix
inferno
flame burst
aura of restoration

cast aura before aggro. aggro and immediately cast meteor storm then use the other spells.

should be able to take them 6 at atime with this build with practice and positioning... i can anyway.

I use a straight Ether Renewal/Earth Magic build, except that Rust speeds up the kill. I leave from Beetletun and use Stone Daggers to kill the Caromi Tengu Wilds.

Other people use a Mist Form build. It's possible that would work better with Armor of Mist and a different starting town, running around trouble rather than fighting through it.

Digital Starlight · May 01, 2006, 01:24 PM // 13:24

I use pure water, Ice Spear/Frozen burst/Rust/Mist Form as main, Armor of Mist for running, Water Attunement for blah, and the other slots up to you i guess.

Vis Mortex · May 01, 2006, 01:29 PM // 13:29

E/Mo

Meteor Shower
Healing Breeze
Mending
Fireball
Inferno
Meteor

throw in something else if you'd like...like some energy restore...

Rust in Peace... if its not here its on another of the core fansites

Ettins use heal signets a lot, it's a water build, rust makes their sigs slow...
They go down quickly.

Armor of Mist for running when needed, use cover enchant when running through Tengu Wilds

Gets ya started
CKaz

edit - oh yeah someone got at it above, also sure Earth should work well too
[water obviously has the nice mist form option too to soak it up, if needed]

pegasux · May 01, 2006, 07:22 PM // 19:22

The water build can be found on this forum under the name Mr. Frosty. I myself use earth WITH Rust to kill em.

Katari · May 01, 2006, 07:52 PM // 19:52

16 Fire
9ish Earth
4-6 water
rest in ES

Armor of Earth
Aura of Restoration
Pheonix
Inferno

I know you can take out the IW team with a similar skillset, I wonder how it would do vs lvl 15 ettins.

Evilsod · May 01, 2006, 08:10 PM // 20:10

I'd say the fastest build would be using Rust without a doubt, double the damage for 6 seconds beats area of effect that they'll probably just run and heal from.

XENDERX · May 02, 2006, 12:17 AM // 00:17

Ettin Farming:

16 Water, 13 Energy Storage

Mist Form
Armor of Mist
Rust
Ice Spear
Frozen burst
Ice Spikes
Water Attunement
Aura Of Restoration

Francis Crawford · May 02, 2006, 12:36 AM // 00:36

Actually, Mr. Frosty is a great Obsidian Flesh build for farming Ice Imps.

Lord Cooper · May 03, 2006, 11:38 AM // 11:38

actually they dont run from my build becuase A: i use spells that dont cause them to scatter and B: they are dead before they can get out of the meteor shower anyway.

ive killed a group of 6 ettins in ~12seconds with the fire build i posted. if your rust build can manage the same then i humbly admit that i am wrong

admittedly the downside of my build is that it relies on metero shower and its knockdowns so you have to wait between fights for it to recharge
