well when i do it i usualy take 0-2 dmg , but mostly 0 ,

if i wanted all my dmg to be 0 i'd have

15 strength

so that doyalk sigit is +40 all the time (20 duration , 20 rechrage)
watchyourself (+20 armor always if you keep it up)
ele resitance (+40 armor always)

ok so thats + 100 armor ,

gladiators (80 armor (+20 vs pshycial)) is usualy the best armor in farming
but this is ele dmg therefore you should have plate (85 armor (+10 vs pshyical)

so thats 185 armor
take knights boots (-2 dmg)
and have suprior absorbtion on your chest peice( major will do ok aso lonas you got everything else i think)

your weapon will be axe/sword of warding (+7 vs elemental dmg)

now your sheild will do a lot of effect in the run

you should have one of these

16 armor (req whatever)
+8 armor (vs water attacks)
-2 stance

if you were to take this your total armor and dmg redction would be agaisn't the imps 196 armor and -7 dmg

or 16 armor (req whatever)
-3 (while hexed) which would be mind freeze
-2 (stance)

if you were to take this would final armor and dmg redution would be agaisn't the imps 188 armor and -10 dmg

they are both very effecive
now thats al lthe stacking i can think of.

Wyvern Armor with knight's boots

+5 defense sword pommel

-2 stance, -3 hexed shield for the cave itself (the most expensive part of my get-up). If America happens to have favor when I'm in the cave, I get my 100-gold Mending

and switch to Malinon's Shield (45/2 enchanted). I run with a 45/2 stance shield

major absorption rune (yes, major - I have too many armor sets to be buying superiors for each)

Really, not much fancy about it. Max your defense and absorption to the best you can afford.

Hmm I can get to the cave, but those stupid birds are always guarding it, therefore I die. I find it difficult soloing the birds because of ineptitude/hexes/aggro. Tips?

kvndoom · Mar 15, 2006, 11:32 AM // 11:32

You're just getting a bad spawn. It happens. Sometimes you have enough breathing room to get past the chickens and get to the imps when that happens, sometimes you don't. Rezone and retry is all I can tell you.

Hell, once I had Thunderwing 7 times in a row, (before I learned the joys of the Lt. Helm, and before said joys were nerfed) and I won't repeat the stream of execrations that flowed from my mouth due to THAT level of frustration.

Jas D · Mar 15, 2006, 04:07 PM // 16:07

Dang that's horrible, I keep getting those spawns. I havent seen Thunderwing though so it seems that's the only good thing Im getting out of it, lol. I'll keep trying, hoping I get past those dumb chickens.

Great build, thanks for sharing

My first run ^^

Jas D · Mar 15, 2006, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Very nice.

Im still waiting for a nice respawn.

FYI, the w/mo build I use doesn't seem to work anymore with the new Ice Golems in the cave. It used to work great, just as good if not better than w/me's I'd farm with. Oh well : (

stillious · Mar 17, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

How can u get past those icy golems? theyre so irritating i can't even get to the cave><

.killjoy · Mar 18, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

Yes many more golems and trolls doing more dmg then anyone thought. and rust is a bitch , i recommend doing this dual now its alot faster both use same builds or change 2 skills as me and my friend do and take 2 siges and 1 troll down pretty fast when they are in the cave..

And favor helps!!

Lando Griffen · Mar 20, 2006, 05:50 AM // 05:50

It's a great build if you're patient enough

You should take balanced stance with you, if you can't get past the giants that keep on knocking you down. This will also help you get past some of the Dolyaks. Sometimes, it's just a crappy spawn. Good luck

i cant do it :-/ they moved the ice imps to outside the cave to close to the avacari so i get hexes and ice spells

dont feel no pain · Mar 20, 2006, 11:54 AM // 11:54

just a bad spawn , i've had them mixed with the avicara but a good longbow did some nice pulling, just use stragagy , even if the imps and aviacara are together all you have to do is pull the imps and kill them , then run past the avaicara into the cave, Only on realy realy bad spawns its impossible but mst of the time you can do it , just bad luck if it was bad.

Yup, that's a bad spawn.

Sometimes I get bad spawns too - aka, 3 trolls right outside the cave. Luckily today, in 1 hour, I got 4 ids, so I'm happy. All those failed IDS runs are now worth it.

Rogier · Mar 20, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

how the hell do you guys manage it to have 0 damage every time?! i just need to keep spamming healing sig just to keep surviving against those beasts!

dont feel no pain · Mar 20, 2006, 09:21 PM // 21:21
