I've seen more than 1 way to farm Totem Axes which is more accurate the 1 i saw on Wiki Lets u use the build to kill the wind riders ( i think thats what they are called )

I did it with a ranger when it came out but I don't remember what my bar was. Kindle arrows rings a bell.

Pyro Chronic · Mar 05, 2008, 04:35 AM // 04:35

i know the builds but is it worth it to kill the wind riders or should i just go all the way and run to the behemoths and not bother with the riders ?

cerb · Mar 05, 2008, 04:48 AM // 04:48

The real question is - why don't you spend 100 gold and buy one off players? They shouldn't be worth more than that by now.

Still like 4k for one...

Well, there are usually a couple behemoths beyond the Wind Riders
so I used to kill them.. took some running back and forth tho.
Don't bother with the Wind Rider boss tho.. he'll rip you apart.

i farm Totem Axes on my necro all the time with this build:

Triple Shot, [skill]Punishing Shot[/skill][skill]Kindle Arrows[/skill][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill][skill]Natural Stride[/skill][skill]Storm Chaser[/skill][skill]Healing Spring[/skill] and "Finish Him!".

with Punishing Shot, Wind Riders are easy (including the boss, as long as you interrupt the right stuff.) take out groups one at a time, precasting Kindle + Troll then aggroing and killing with autoattacks and "FH!" For the bosses, use Punishing Shot (or any interrupt, if you want to stick with a ranger primary) on Ice Spikes or Empathy, both of which will fcuk you over to no end. you can run by the boss groups too, by interrupting their snares and zooming on by.

You're the only one in this thread mentioning a necro. Just because it says N/ on under his avatar area, doesn't mean that's his only character o.O

If you want those extra behemoths, it's worth killing the wind rider's, if not, don't bother.

boogerboy72 · Mar 05, 2008, 02:06 PM // 14:06

except hes fuzzy taco, he does everything with his necro.

Ayup. But hey, it's only 10 AL less. You can use +10 vs physical and you'll have almost same results. Plus, you get energy from Soul Reaping.

BLOODGOAT · Mar 05, 2008, 06:50 PM // 18:50

VWK FOR WIN.

Noodle would have you think anything is possible on a necro...Which isn't too far off...

But the best builds are still probably W and R

Oh and as to Noodle having other characters; He does, but on his necro he has +17mil xp, and he has maybe 4 mil on the rest of his account. The only other character he plays is (rarely) his monk, which he usually just tanks UW with.

u seem dumb he can use tormentors insignia

Fuzzy Taco · Mar 05, 2008, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Yoda, you seem to like flame wars.

anyway, regarding my earlier post - it's true, i do everything on my necro - i've had no trouble running that build with Survivor Insigs, and i've gotten enough totem axes to choke a horse.

No way in HELL was I going to rewrite my guide so I copypasta'd it from the thread I made that NO ONE EVEN REPLIED TO. HEY THANKS. Anyways....

I've experimented with a few Totem Axe farming builds but this is currently my favorite.

[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Generous Was Tsungrai[/skill][skill]Mend Body And Soul[/skill][skill]Signet of Stamina[/skill][skill]Endure Pain[/skill][skill]Sprint[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill]
Template Code: OQgiExh8YxIeEMp5gdr0VMsA
Stat Distribution: 12 Strength, 12 Restoration Magic
Equipment: Any Longbow, full Radiant/Attunement armor (although you can swap one Attunement for a minor Strength)

The run is fairly simple if you know the route. Most people do so I'm not going to bother posting an image example. This build is capable of killing a fair amount of enemies encountered although it's not necessarily time-feasible. Your primary targets are the Root Behemoths and Wind Riders (which, with practice and timing, can be overcome).

Run to the known spawning points of your friendly neighborhood Root Behemoths, but don't get too close! Popping the Life Pods does not necessarily mean that your hopes of killing a particular Root Behemoth are shattered, but it is not recommended period. This is what your long bow is for. Stand as close to the Root Behemoth as you can without entering the Life Pod's aggro radius and plink the Behemoth once. Take a step back, hit Signet of Stamina (it would have been nulled considering you attacked), and then use VwK and spam Vengeful Weapon as much as possible. It usually takes in the area of two casts of VwK to drop one Behemoth but on occasion can be accomplished in one.
After you kill a Behemoth, move on. Even if there are two Root Behemoths separate by only one aggro radius, it is possible to kill both. Although you may aggro the Life Pods from the previous Behemoth, it is very rare that they will run in front of you to heal the next one you engage. It's very simple, and very effective.

Now, assuming you can't get close enough to a Root Behemoth to plink it with your longbow (this often happens on sloping terrain) and you do pop the Life Pods, the typical strategy is to run backwards and make them follow you until they're about 1.5 aggro bubbles away from their allied Root Behemoth. Once they are far enough away, turn around and make sure you keep the Life Pods and Root Behemoth separated by standing in between them. Ideally you want the Life Pods to be on the very edge of your aggro bubble behind you, and you want the Root Behemoth to be on the very edge of your aggro bubble in front of you. Casting VwK and spamming Vengeful Weapon like this more often than not will keep the Life Pods too occupied healing themselves (because they attack you too, and you will life-steal from them) to move forward and heal the Behemoth. It is in this that makes combating a Root Behemoth even when the Life Pods have spawned, entirely possible, without having the kill the Life Pods before-hand, like so many melee-centered builds would have you do.

Of course, sometimes the Life Pods do manage to sustain themselves AND heal the Root Behemoths, in which case, it is probable that you won't be able to kill the Behemoth and it would be in one's best interest to just move on.

Combating the Wind Riders is a different story. Your primary intention here is to get all of their attacks synchronized so that you can effectively time your skills so they wont be interrupted. Of course, this is not always possible, so in some cases you may have to draw out their interrupts by baiting them with Generous Was Tsungrai and Mend Body and Soul, being that they are the two longest casting spells that aren't entirely required for this build to be effective in killing enemies. This is more of a trial-and-error endurance where you attempt to learn their behavior and over time can predict when they will or will not interrupt. But generally speaking, if they interrupt VwK twice in a row it would be in your better interest to wait for a bit of energy regen, hit Sprint, and run away, then try your luck again. Although Forgotten Fans aren't worth a particularly large sum of money, they are still an easy 1-2k.

VwK ftw.
