Ettins don't fall into any of the current slaying categories.

Well, from the sounds of it, this farming actually may have gotten buffed. Here's the section on runes in the last update:

Quote:

RUNES

* Increased probability of finding Superior Vigor and Superior Absorption runes.
* Changed new rare (gold) armor to only provide superior (gold) runes.
* Changed new uncommon (purple) armor to only provide major (purple) runes.
* As always, you must use an expert or superior salvage kit to extract a rune from armor. These changes will not affect loot that dropped prior to this update.

Plus:

Quote:

MISCELLANEOUS

* Fixed a bug that dramatically decreased the chance of finding uncommon and rare loot in explorable areas.

yay!

I think they nerfed ettins for me at least, i did 3 runs and I didn't even see a white pauldron drop...... Lots of hardened humps though

.

dont feel no pain · Apr 28, 2006, 09:12 PM // 21:12

possibly a very bad set of runs, somedays i've done like 5 runs, no gold, then like the next day 2 runs 3 golds

3 runs and you determined it's nerfed?

captainccc · Apr 29, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

I love this build! Never tried farming ettins actually just picked it up and it works great!

Anyway, on to the issue of 3 ettins attacking you at the same time?

Heres my way of doing it. Run up against the rock cliff and get into a corner, only 2 ettins can attack you at a time. Take down those 2 and then deal with 1. Very easy.

Gready job on the video again

/edit: i checked out ur myspace, go FF!!
/x2 edit: i stick with a 15^50 coustomized 20% IDS and use conjure frost, works great for me, rust too.

dont feel no pain · Apr 29, 2006, 12:14 PM // 12:14

glad ya liked it, if you practice it alot you'll soon be able to own 3 ettins in the open no prob, 4 ettins is seriously scary but possible aswell , but yeah takes pratice, lol checking out my myspace :P , yeah FF looks awsome!

sh4ft3d · May 04, 2006, 08:14 PM // 20:14

I've started using an axe instead of sword (I know, I hate them too :angry

and the criticals really make a difference. I hit for over 113 while they are using healing sig+ the damage from conjure. And I'm using conjure lightning instead of fire, cause I don't have fiery axe haft. I do have a fiery hilt though :P
16 axe
10 element of conjure your using.
8+1 Tactics
Rest in strength +1

Frenzy
Dismember
Axe Rake/ Twist whatever you prefer. Just for the condition.
Watch Yourself (because extra attack skill not needed.)
ViM
Conjure _____
Heal Sig
Sprint

onerabbit · May 05, 2006, 07:27 AM // 07:27

WOW this build rocks!, i get about 2 gold ettin puoldrens a run, i got 3 last time, i can do this all day soo much fun, last time i manage to take on 4! was soo close, i thought well i can run or i can fight so i stood my ground manage to kill the 3 then i had 1 hp:S,but i attacked him he went straight into heal sig and i manage to kill him!, thnx alot dudes! this is an amazing build!

sh4ft3d · May 05, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

Hehe, I've been trying to make a hammer build but It doesn't have the fast attack speed to hit twice while they're under heal sig... And the lack of conditions means no ViM... So I had been trying out defy pain, but I haven't tryed Dolyaks with that build yet... I'll post if I figure one out

AscalonWarrior · May 05, 2006, 02:47 PM // 14:47

Hehe, this is 8 sec killer is really good build, just 1 min ago killed ettin in 4 secs, only 3 hits
