ichigo no offence but he never claimed that this was his build, he said he experimentally changed it and he also said thanks to the dude who helped him with the build.

i solo Ettins with my pet , my pet is Dire wolf, so heres my build:

pet (no need for pet rez)
Simbiotic bond (pet never dies)
bestial pounce
Disrtractin shot
mending (or/and trall enguent, but then its harder)
poison arrows {E} or apply poison
Whirling defence
trow dirt/lightning reflexes

sometimes its hard to keep Ettins at range, but trick is: dont pull with bow, body pull. when Ettins will follow you, they will "see" the pet thats walking behind you, so pet will get most of the aggro. then poison then, interrupt heal sig, make pet do major damage, and pick up your rune =D

Ettins drop runes (alot of crapy, but evry 3 runs i get a SUP, which can sell for alot (like Sup absorbtion, Sup vigor, and even Sup monk is not bad)

did i mention 1 run takes about 10-15 min?

silentblade · Apr 19, 2006, 04:43 PM // 16:43

i dont get how this build works for ettins
they keep using healing sig im lost

sorril · Apr 19, 2006, 05:27 PM // 17:27

you distract heal sig. while you gain life from barrage+vig spirit+live vicariously. preferred weapon is a shortbow/flatbow with elemental string (sicne ettins got physical defense), or zealous string, and armor or hp grip.

Ionic · Apr 19, 2006, 06:05 PM // 18:05

zealous since you'll be facing multiple ettins. switch to a non-zealous when jsut fighting 1 etting

Marksmen of Hell · Apr 20, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

imo a traper build would wrok better to solo the etins

Balmung Of The Azure Sky · Jul 05, 2006, 03:56 PM // 15:56

I find this one better cause you dont need WS points,
here we go:

Ranger/Monk

whatever you wanna call it

PvE solo farming build. i can make this work against the minos in Elona, the trolls outside Droks, i havent tried but i think it should work with the rune dropping ettins too.

i Use thee atributes, but you can alter them as you like as long as you have at least 13 Expertise, wich makes barrage cost 2 energy.

Expertise 10 + 1 + 3
Marks 11 +1
Healing Prayers 10 +1(if you want, not really needed)

Skills

Barrage {Elite}
Lightning Reflexes
Throw Dirt
Whirling Defense
Serpent's Quickness
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
-empty spot-

i use Healing breeze, but its kinda free

Equipment

A zealous max damage bow is essential to manage energy, the second mod doesnt really matter, A bow grip of enchanting may help a bit.
full droks sruids armor, or its 15k counterpart.

This build as stated above is used to farm the minos in elona reach and the mountain trolls near droks.
The objective is to keep the enemies from hiting you and heal whatever damage they manage to deal with Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit.
Keeping a permanent 75% chance to evade/block the enemys attacks is what you want. this is done by running this circle indefently:

Serpent's Quickness quickly followed by Whirling Defense , this makes Whirling Defense come back faster, then make sure you pack your enemies close to each other, when Whirling Defenseis flashing, Throw Dirt the pack of enemies, if you manage to blind all of them, youll be quite relaxed. When you see that the bllindness has worn off, cast Lightning Reflexes.
When Lightning Reflexes begins flashing, Serpent's Quickness and Whirling Defense should be reaqdy to cast again.
This is why a high stat in expertise is needed, to maximize the time of te stances.
Of course you will have to be under the both healing enchantments ALL the time, and in my build, casting healing breeze whenever you feel HP is dropping too fast. And just keep spamming Barrage

Warning : Allways make sure you have a target, i have died some times cause my primary target died and i was spamming barrages to no one

Be careful with the Avicara before reaching the troll cave, never aggro them, if needed just teleport back to droks and they will spawn in a different place.

Credit: i have seen similar builds, so i would say this is a community build

Whirling Defense won't work here because it causes you to "block" attacks. Iressistebel Blow knocks you down when you "block" their attack whereas Lightning Reflexes causes you to "evade". Big difference.

PS scuse ma spellin.

i know this is off topic but what is the name of the song and artist in the vid?

andrewf · Aug 16, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

Glad you like my videos

the song is..one of the song from Naruto OST 3.

When fighting against ettins, you just need the initial stance, if done correctly, you should get full health back everytime you barrage without any defense.

No offense, but the video shows a build that's extremely innefective compared to warrior or monk builds. 2 minutes per mob of about 6 ettins doesnt seem like a successful build to me. However, you've given a decent guide to a build that helps people with only ranger characters.

andrewf · Aug 16, 2006, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Are you doubting a ranger's ability to farm?

A month ago, a wamo challenged me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNeo7U3E1bE

30 minutes later, I replied to his challenge
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztJfm3xT17k

If it is Minotaur, I can easily take out the whole field with ReZon's evasion stance build

edit:
I did not have a 5:1 back when I made the video, and i can easily kill off a minotaur group in 40-60 seconds

wilko is here · Jun 21, 2007, 11:51 AM // 11:51

can some 1 pm me in game to show me now that there has been a whole heap of nurfs
