this is a fast-paced farming movie showing ele/monk farming of hydras, griffons and mountaintrolls. some titles are german, i hope you get the meaning anyway.

doesnt seem to be working. any chance of posting the build and steps? >>

what does not work, the link? simply click on "Free", then wait until the seconds in the middle of the site are counted down. after that, type in the 3 letter code and you get the download.

[EDIT] sorry i forgot that rapidshare is a german hoster, im actually uploading the file to filefactory - link will be edited into my first post

Good movie. I bring watchful spirt and Balthazar's spirit in addition to mending and essence bond. Energy is never an issue and you dont even need breeze most of the time.

1 question... how do you deal with the distrupting chops from the mountain trolls? Only about half of my troll runs are succesful because sometimes one of my critical skills is disrupted.

Cyrdio · Feb 09, 2006, 09:26 PM // 21:26

i use balthazars spirit only in the underworld for solo farming, because 3 aatxe do not make enough damage for essence bond. for the others im fine with essence bond only.

against the mountain trolls i have no real trick. be quick, always go with 33hp (not 55) and watch for their rythm - they all beat at the same time, cast after they hit you, thats how i do it. with 55 hp i almost always died, but with 33hp its easy.

Da Cebuano · Feb 12, 2006, 08:57 PM // 20:57

how do you get down to 33 hp?

Hailfall · Feb 12, 2006, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Get a DP and find yourself an -20 HP icon..

That will get your HP to 33 HP if I am correct..

Mentalmdc · Feb 12, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

No, dp and a no health loss weapon = 33hp

a -20 would work even better tho, giving you 13 health

I just watched it,

There are a few things u could/should change:
1. Bring essence bond
2. For griffons and hydras, Aura of restoration will allow you to agro more and not worry about the scorpion thingies as u get a full heal every time u cast, so if on the rare occasion they inturupt breeze then u can still live by spamming spells (FYI they will never interupt PS). This also allows u to take out orison as ur effectively healing urself with every cast.
3. The recharge on Inferno makes it a bit useless, take meteor shower instead. It can only be cast once per pull (recharge is slow) but it does about 300 damage, which is half health for most targets. The exhaustion is not a problem because of your points in energy storage.

For use in UW take an SS necro (you do the monks job). Put Obsidian flesh and stone daggers on ur bar. Obsidian is a better version of spellbreaker (lasts longer) and stone daggers allows u to kill the nightmares easily.

Thats my input for this thread,

@Mentalmdc:

1. watch closely, i do have essence bond

but no balthasars spirit as i dont need it in the regions shown in the movie (my energy is almost always about 50%)

2. i had the aura some times whith me, but found it a bit useless. against the scorpions, i just run away with Armor of Mist - it is more save than trying to fight them. as soon as i start running 33% faster they loose interest and i can go on with the griffons.

Quote:

they do not interrupt PS

well, thats not entirely true. As you see in the video, the hydras did that alot. it has only 1 second casting time, but if the meteor hits me right in that second im done... not sure about the scorpions, i cant remember if they ever did interrupt my PS.

3. i agree, infernos' 20 sec recharge is a bit useless but it helps. i dare not to use meteorshower, not even fireball. i used to take fireball instead of inferno, but its 2 second casting time brought me in some trouble. here is how: i cast fireball, than my PS starts to blink - before fireball is casted my PS is gone and im dead. for i usually tank a lot of creatures, i dont have a chance to make a single step to interrupt the casting of fireball. infernos casting time is only 3/4 of a sec. hence, i took it with me as a "filler".

for the UW yes, its quite non-sense to go solo with an E/Mo - it took me 20 mins to kill only 3 Aatxe. now i only go to the UW with a SS as you said - but completely skilled on monk, not single ele spell. the SS does an enormous amount of damage, i only concentrate on staying alive.

well, different people, different styles - everyone tries what fits best for him

oh and yes, the 33HP i get after 15%dp and taking away the cestus.

Cyrdio · Feb 14, 2006, 06:13 AM // 06:13

it seems that you dont have the DiVX6 codec installed. go to www.divx.com and download the "DivX 6.1 Player" (it's free).

Stalker Haras · Feb 14, 2006, 06:37 AM // 06:37

Ive got it installed.

EDIT: Fixed it.
