Rt/W - Solo Vermin in HARD MODE
I think Rt/W is faster & safer to farm vermin in Hard mode.
I tested it and works great. Here is my own creation Rt/W tested build.
Restoration - 12+1+3 ( include Head piece)
Tactics - 12
the rest i put on spawning. (doesnt matter)
WEAPON
- sword or axe with Max HSR 10% inscription " Let the memory Live again"
- max furious mod is helpful but not necessary
- sunreach shield or anything tactics with -5(20%), HP+30
SKILLS
Vengeful Was Khanhei (Elite) [VWK]
Resilient Weapon <---{VERY IMPORTANT} [RW]
Soothing Memories [SM]
Mend Body and SOul [MB&S] or Resilient Was Xiko [RwX]
Bonetti's Defense [BD]
Balanced Stance [BS]
Dolyak SIgnet
Healing Signet
Template code: OAGjUxhs4MWso5ETayXmLplAAA
ARMOR
I use all Survivor insignia for more health.
APPLICATION
DO alternate Balanced Stance & dolyak signet, make sure keep this up all the time. if both still charging, then use Bonetti's Defense.
When Agro, cast VWK, then BS, then Resilient Weapon. When this up, u will have no worry of insane degen cuz it will have -1 degen only.
the VWk is up, then u can spam [SM] & [MB&S] or if u want to remove condition then use Xiko.
When Balanced Stance is up, cast Dolyak, while spaming [SM] & [MB&S] & healing signet. If u use RwX, then u just spam SM and it cost only 2 EN cuz u gain 3 EN while holding item. (so ENergy will always high)
VWK will soon be recharged and u can do it again the same sequence. If the VWK wasnt fully recharged, dolyak help you to avoid being attack. make sure u cast Balanced stanced or dolyak before u cast VWK to avoid being knockdown & get interrupted.
when its clear u can cast healing signet.
Hope this build help. GL & enjoy

After testing, yes it is faster than w/rt, but definitely not safer.
@Brutal - So far every run I have done, I have gotten at least 1 lockpick, and 2 golds minimum. The least amount of money I made after a run was 3k, and it takes about 10 min for rt/w and 15 for w/rt. (For both I use end game factions restoration offhand, and end game NF restoration wand, for a total of 40% chance to halve skill recharge)

I got couple max gold REg 9 celestial Daggers, max gold reg9 celestial scepter, Gold max reg 10 grinning dragon axe, and a lot of locked chest --> i got celestial shield
Hope not to get misunderstanding, when i say safer, cuz it only give u only -1 degen when [RW] is up, and the energy management is always high. so u have alot of energy to heal yourself.
And the most interesting thing is when you agro 2 mobs at one time, u will still kill them way faster than W/Rt cuz u take 37 HP instead of 29 and the mobs have less chance to run away to heal themselves. If you do it right, u dont even need to cast healing signet at all until the mobs are all gone.
PS: optional for more dmg, u can switch HEaling signet to "Deadly Riposte" while VWK is recharging.

For ArKaiN --> when u want to re-cast VWK , make sure u have Balanced Stand or Dolyak Signet "ON". [ If not, u might have a chance get knocked down which it will interupt your casting of VWK]
If VWK still recharging & BS or DS is also recharging, that is where Bonetti's Defense [BD] comes to help. When u cast BD, dont do anything, unless u have 50% health.
I try to post video later on.

Nice build. Thanks. It would work on Onis as well, I'm pretty sure.
UPDATED Rt/Me BUILD:
VwK
Arcane Echo
Physical Resistance
Channeling
Resilient Weapon
Mend Body and Soul
Wielder's Boon
Empathy
Restoration: 16
Inspiration: 8
Domination: 10
Emissary's Armor
The KD spell the Vermin use has a 20 sec recharge, so basically, if you can just get off your first VwK, you have a high chance of killing all the mobs without getting another VwK interrupted. You would cast PR, then Channeling, then Res Weapon, then gain aggro, then quickly A Echo and VwK right as they start to hit you. Spam heals and Empathy as needed. You should be able to survive an interruption most of the time. Also, sometimes it's ok to take on two groups of mobs at once or to initiate attack without Arcane Echo being recharged (do this when you get a good opportunity to pull mobs from the patrol, or if you're facing a small group, for instance). If you have a recharge wand you may not even need A Echo. Sometimes you may take aggro too early, in which case you should cast A Echo, let them KD you, THEN cast VwK, and hope for the best.
To kill the boss, make sure you have RW up and cast Empathy on him. He should go down pretty fast.
A down-and-back run takes about 30 mins (or less, with luck). There will be about 80 kills, so make sure you bring your ID/Salvage kits. If the drops are worth less than 70g I salvage them, often getting steel. I will die two or three times, usually when I get careless and find myself swarmed by multiple mobs, but the respawn point is never far away so there is little delay. The hardest thing about the run is pulling mobs from the circular patrol and getting your key spells off while fighting the boss. Other than that, it's easy.
------------------------------------------
On my VwK Rt I nearly always use Emissary's armor. When you have Res Weapon up (and it's triggered), you get +24 AL from it and then another +15 AL, which is really nice (and yet another +40 if you are using a Mez Resistance). I often use a weapon spell in my solo builds just to get the extra 15 AL. You can, additionally, use a sword/axe with def vs physical to get even another +7 armor.
PS. I highly recommend a fast recharge Restoration wand if you are going to use VwK without an echo. It's beyond good to get another VwK in fast. Also, the +1 Rest offhand can be useful, that extra 2 damage adds up when you are talking about zillions of hits.
Ok back to Vermin.

I tried really hard to beat the boss but it doesn't seem to help. I even got the weapon spell armor but the damage is too much. Can anybody suggest some ideas.

That's what I've been doing, but Bonetti's only grants 75% coverage, and during that time vermin are hitting you like crazy, while you're poisoned, bleeding and unable to heal with your skills.
Is everyone else just "getting lucky" during bonetti's?

I'm sorry for the mistake, yeah its on tactics. my bad. I'll fix it.
okay, bonetti only to buy some times until VWK recharged. usually i dont use it at all. When u bleed & poison, that is where [RW] comes in very handy. u get -1 degen only. and u got alot time to heal yourself.
i will try to post the video. its been giving me problems when i try to capture it, lol.

You MUST have RW up most of the time when fighting the boss, at least in my build. He will drop that hex on you that will give you max degen (hex + bleeding + poison). Then you have lots of armor: +40 from PR, +24 from RW, +15 from Emissary's, and additional from a weapon if you need it (you shouldn't), so you shouldn't be taking much direct damage. The real problem with the boss is degen, though. To kill him, you need to get Empathy off on him at least once, really.
I've corrected/updated my build above. Dropped Channeling Magic altogether for Domination.

If energy isn't such a big deal you also could go for Rt/D with Fleeting Stability (maybe Mystic Regneration and Vital Boon).
