humm.. i tried to do this, but in the end Avicara and Imps were very close.
Imps slowed me and I could'nt run past by the Avicara that killed me immediately...

Did they nerf this or what?

I've done it a couple times with my R/Mes
Running seems a little easier. I was using barrage and interrupts for the imps the troll is still a minor problem but I usually go with one war and it's not that bad. Unfortunately still waiting on a drop

this is a great build! i can get there but everytime i get to the imps they have a seige with them, and even a troll or two what do i kill first in this case as they keep killing me

This build is super-outdated. I first got this video from somewhere else a few weeks back; and just found this thread today. I had no idea how old this build was. I tried it out (even WASTED money on crappy Gladiator gear and the extra runes

); lo and behold each run ended in complete failure. Why?

There's 38956736026894697806 Imps in the cave + trolls/golems. Can this build kill them? God no.
But do you know what build can?

It seems like it takes a little bit longer; but the W/Me build is so frail; it can't even stand up to a couple lame trolls/siege ice golems.

"Kill the trolls first!" I have seen people say. You know why that's total BS and you keep dying? Cuz when you pull the troll/golem, all 600,000,000,000,000 Ice Imps follow you out of the cave and you're dead. The W/Mo build is extremely sturdy, and holds up against attacks from Ice Imps, Golems and even the lame trolls everyone has trouble killing.

Did the creater of the thread hold a gun to your head and force you to try this build? No.
There's gotta be something wrong if you can't survive a troll with Dolyak and Watch Yourself! up...
You try to make it seem as it's the creaters fault you fail this run. Your post is useless, so take your whining elsewhere.

I really have fun with this build

Poison Ivy · Sep 11, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

Is it even worth it?...

tritime · Nov 29, 2006, 03:59 PM // 15:59

ok is it just me or do these aviacre's love 2 chase you around the world without stopping, even with Sprint / Charge i cant lose them. any1 knows wtf it is ??

Sophitia Leafblade · Nov 29, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

That would be due to the Ai changed a short while ago, which makes enemys in any area follow u like crazy when ur running, Like Fort Ranik where i ended up with well over 40+ Charr chasing me by the end of the mission

So and all this time I thought I was the only one having post-update problems with the IDS farming..

cao ang · Dec 11, 2006, 06:53 PM // 18:53

Does this build still work?
Don't see any posts that it is outdated, except for a flamer.
if it does i will go and test it.
TX and waiting for a reply.

All, I got to say is NICE! And ignore the flamer, he don't know what he's talking about. ( Heck, he even has a Warcraft avatar...)

But I find it's easier to do this with a guy you trust rather than solo now because of the avarica guys can kill a W/Me pretty quick (in my experience...)

The only skill that I would recommend adding to the skill bar would be "Defy Pain" since it give you a larger margain of error and give you more armor. This is my build that I use for IDS farming with a another fellow farmer.

Defy Pain
Healing Signet
Desperation Blow
Dolyak Signet
Sprint
Sever Artery
Elemental Resistance
Watch Yourself OR an another attack skill

Well, I've tried it solo now and it's HARD. But it's easier to do with a W/Mo IDS build farmer.

Also... Wouldn't a full suit of Platemail armor work well because of the elemental protection bonus?

Well, the reason why I said this was because 2 targets mean that you have more chances of living especially if you run through heavy mobs.

But like 8 runs and still no IDS drops for me... ToT

Also if someone is coming with you.. one of you can ditch Watch Yourself for an another attack skill.

The only problem I have with IDS farming is the shadows..... They tore up my guy pretty quick....

Anyways, thanks for the video! I'm optimistic about IDS farming for once. LOL.

[DE] · Dec 29, 2006, 01:53 AM // 01:53

The OP made this build when IDS's came out LAST wintersday so of course it's outdated.

Shadow Kurd · Dec 29, 2006, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Lol,, almost 2 years old now :P

But this has to be doable with a ranger too right? They have more running skills and can stay out of the casting range of the Imps.

Any1 has an idea?

jimmyboveto · Dec 29, 2006, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Interesting build... I can see that you took the concept of a W/Me from the fow spider run build, its just that you used elemental resistance this time instead of physical resistance. Also, you put in charge.
