Curse

jpsantos20 · Mar 08, 2006, 01:47 AM // 01:47

I don't see the point of bringing an interupt skill to be honest. I use Eviserate, Cyclone Axe, and Executioner's Strike, Penetrating Blow as my attack skills. Sprint for running, Balthazar's Spirit for adrenaline and energy charge up, Vigorous Spirit and Healing Breeze for health recharge. I'll try mending later instead of Vigorous Spirit and i'll see if that works. I have many of my skill into Tactics too but I will move them to Strength and leave enough to tactics to carry my shield which is 9 since Strength does give me more dmg. I will just have to wait and see just how much more dmg.

I got a superior curses first drop after staying away for awhile. Lucky because I was making a SS necro at the very time.

I was happy.

I don't know what you guys were saying about 55 monks being slow. I use a slightly modified build and kill groups of 6 in under a minute. The only tough part is getting past the Mesmers (and I've figured out a way to do that consistently) , the rest is cake.

Because Ettins usually don't spawn with 6 of them in one spot.

Pretty easy if you didn't die in one hit

I use the secret, ancient technique of pulling groups of 2 or 3 together which makes it faster to farm since I kill groups at a time not ettins at a time..

is to withstand against 8 ettins (with a warrior)

Sorry to steal your moment but, only a maximum of about 5, maybe 6 ettin can actually 'hit' you when they gather around you. The others are just in a queue

.
Actually, with things like vamp mods/Vigorous/Vicarious the more around you make it 'easier' since you get more health back.

The fact that I can take on 10 easy with an elementalist shows that for a warrior this should be a breeze :P.

Yes the do... All the time, they spawn in groups of 9-12 right there on the hill when you start farming, group em up and you have way more then 6...

My record is 12 at once, and you can get them all to hit you if you shimmy shake a little and let them get at ya I believe, I know I have had more then 8 hitting me at once.

umm..not so much, savage slash has a MUCH longer recharge than healing signet does, so for every signet that you interrupt, they have another one coming RIGHT AWAY, personally, i BENEFIT from the signet, because i save my FT's for the signet, and power through it, and usually kill them while they're using it.

narcissistic_fool · Mar 15, 2006, 06:21 AM // 06:21

heres my build works nice

W/Me
sever artery
gash
galrath slash
final thrust
hundred blades(E)
physical resistance
ether feast
sprint

swords 12+3
strength 8+1
tactics 7+1+1
inspiration 8

Personally I use a riposite build, I forget what it is exactly but its pretty decent...never really have a problem taking on 3 or 4 or so in a couple minutes..

I think it goes something like this
Hundred Blades
Final Thrust
Galgrash Slash(SP?)
Sprint
Dolyak Signet
Heal Signet
Riposite
Deadly Riposite
And something else..

Jas D · Mar 15, 2006, 04:09 PM // 16:09

I use riposte for soloing a lot of things, it works great.. but I wouldn't use it for ettin farming, I use axes for that. They work better IMO.

lyric · Mar 15, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

them ettins havent dropped crap for me in a week... not even a lame blue..

everytime i startup GW ill goto beetletun and do a few quick runs to see if i get a gold and it hasnt happened.. only once did i get one. I know people r saying that they didnt nerf the ettins, but it sure seems like it.

Young Hero · Mar 15, 2006, 08:47 PM // 20:47

^ quick runs may not do it.Try staying out for 2hrs and you will get something.

lyric · Mar 15, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

yeh just did that and i got 2 purps and 2 blues...
