Hey people, this is my build for farming the beach in FoW, using w/mo:
Skills: Retribution, Holy wrath, healing signet, riposte, lions comfort, sprint, *edit* whirlwind attack, auspicious parry.
attribute points: 7 smiting, 11 sword, 13 tactics, 10 strength.
Equipment: decent sword (max damage) (furious hilt is useful, +30hp mod), max shield (+health whilst enchanted or +30 health (preferably both)), max armor (again your preference – I use knights: I know it reduces damage taken {and therefore damage given out} but it’s effective and doesn’t hinder my build in any way)
Runes: I use a superior vigor and superior swordsman ship, with minor tactics and strength and finally a rune of vitae.
When you engage a group of enemies use auspicious parry as soon as possible to gain adrenaline - then simply cycle riposte and lions comfort until they are down, use auspicious parry to keep up adrenaline constantly.
The route I take:
Attacking driftwoods you should have both enchantments up, and cycle lots of ripostes with the occasional lions comfort. –they should drop pretty fast.
PROS
- Its quicker than using FoW W/Me build and just as easy
CONS
- Still cant kill ancient skale (but they are easier to survive)
- Strip enchantment spells (dryders and skale), these spells are an obvious nuisance but otherwise perfectly survivable.
Alterations?: I personally can’t find a more effective way to use this build- taking signets is pointless as they spend most of the time recharging.
NB: this build works in Old Ascalon (sardelac sanitarium) and outside Ice tooth caves in hard mode too.
Cheers all- arch (sethyp)
