Is it possible to farm IDS with a necro 55? Anybody done this lately and have an tips for doing so?

The Far Shooter · Nov 12, 2007, 09:15 PM // 21:15

I doubt it as all the IDS builds work by staying out of their skill aggro so you don't get Maelstrom'd to death. To cast SS or SV you need to go in their skill aggro so I doubt it.

I should clarify, I'm not worried about killing the imps so much as getting to them. Maelstrom you can walk out of(I've fought many colds in the UW) but running on the way there is the problem. Gnashers always seem to strip enchantments so I am wondering if I am going the correct route or is this not possible with 55 anymore.

It's a matter of the route and running far enough in a couple places to activate a rez shrine before you get killed.

Ice Imps use Mind Freeze, which is a 90% speed debuff. Also there are more of them so you will find it difficult to just walk about of maelstrom

The.D0pefish · Nov 13, 2007, 12:32 PM // 12:32

i don't think you have a chance to run out of the maelstrom because they are at least 5-6 castint maelstrom on you and freeze you for 90%.
Colds are easy but avoiding maelstrom of the ice imps would be a freaking pain.
you could just go with soj and go there with henchies

But then I would not get drops because of H/H.

flag them, just use H/H for the run
you will get all drops, only the money drops will be split over the party

I don't know what characters you else have, but Ele, Monk, Warrior, Ritualist, Ranger and Dervish are better at it. You might want to try those

Spell Breaker? maybe or some hex removal

kel77 · Nov 13, 2007, 06:30 PM // 18:30

Ok so how would a warrior solo the imps? Note that I do not wish for a build, just a secondary suggestion and major skills to use.

thats a lie, ive been there with a full party and i got a IDS on my second run.

Sniper22 · Nov 14, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Actually I've done it lol, but not recently. Pain in the butt to run there, I believe i ran an ss build. I just ran out of mael when it was casted, not too hard. I think i used vigourous spirit with ps, so if i get stuck in mael, i can heal myself up by casting ps (only gets interrupted once in a while). Again, cant remember exactly how I killed em, but it is possible to survive them.

It's not a lie, I would have better chances of drops solo. eff loot scaling.

Just did last night, didn't get a single drop with H/H

Flag them out of radar distance

kel77 · Nov 14, 2007, 01:14 PM // 13:14

Ok but then we are back to one of my earlier questions...how would a warrior solo these impy thingies?

blue.rellik · Nov 15, 2007, 05:00 AM // 05:00

W/Rt using Vengeful was Khanhei and stay just outside of casting distance

Pyro maniac · Nov 15, 2007, 12:32 PM // 12:32

wammo with alot of heal (SoR) and W/E with stoneflesh and some attack skills used to work as well, donno if it still works
I use the VwK, works great.
