EDIT!!! Explanation of title:
Its not a real build, its just three things and all points in restoration, hardly called a build.. =)
Skills, I mean,, you can be a retarded monkey to play it.
Runes, I just said that I do have runes, but I have noticed that 3 VwK is enough no matter what runes and stuff I have..


Everyone writes all these uber builds that can be used in 1 spot, and you have to buy this and this and this.. I know everyone knows about the Vwk, but if you dont want to spend money on all the skills, and buy a extra armour set, you dont have to.

Location: Arkjok Ward / Senji´s Corner
Monsters: Tusk Hunters / Vermins

Skills:
Resilient Weapon
Vengeful Was Khanhei
Arcane Echo

All points in restoration, no need for the rest. (See attachment).

(If you want, bring Smoothing memories if you are watching tv, and miss to vwk by a second. But only needed if you are lazy..)

Armour:
I had full Ghost Forge on my armor, so I used that, worked like a charm, Superior Restoration, but you can use minor also. Superior just gives you more breathing room, (like it is needed).

See: Picture two..

(There are 3 groups of Tusk Hunters, Run North for the two other group and there is a zone. Zone out and in and run back..) Very fast.

Conclusion:

No real complicated build needed, No skill needed, No attention needed, No special armour needed, No runes Needed.

No need for skills,

Skills:
Resilient Weapon
Vengeful Was Khanhei
Arcane Echo

Or do you mean you don't have to have any skill, to use this build?

I'm so confused

Tip.... You said there is no need for the rest of the attribute points. If you use a weapon spell, why not put the rest into Spawning? You have longer durations on your weapon spells...

Can you also kill the vermin boss with this "build"? And are you really sure a 12 in Restaration will suffice for that purpose?

Just wondering ...


/edit:
What about raptor nestlings? Have you tried it on them by chance?

Uh, this is just a dumned down version of the original/classic echo VWK build.

Yours is just less efficient, less effective and less interesting.

Funny how this pattern has lingered on for the 2.5+ years i been around. Someone takes a build changes a skill or two, or omits here and there, or simply renames the build and call it "their build".

I think the old fashioned "Search" or "Googling" or "pre-research" has officially fallen off the map. Maybe its just the younger generation is THAT lazy. honestly.

Lol, oh well. Idk why i felt like ranting, sorry. Enjoy yet another of 100's of recycled builds!

cheers.

what he is doing is just showing how UNIMPORTANT builds are. there are so many builds that revolve around VWK, and each one is claimed by some random person as "their build" when in fact, they all branch off of the same idea: keep your self alive and hold up vwk.

This doesn't work on Vermin in HM.

I tried several runs. First run I used the basic build for Tengu/Skale with Resilient Weapon instead of Elemental Resistance. Cast Physical Resistance and Resilient weapon, then Arcane, then hit VWK once in range.

3 VWK isn't enough to kill them in HM, even when spamming Ancestor's Rage and Vengeful Weapon, since they shadow step away then Death's Charge back in.

I then tried with Mantra of Resolve since I was getting KD's on my Ether Signet casts, but that used more energy than I could spare, and 3 VWK doesn't kill them anyway.

Summary: Doesn't work on Vermin, and there are better builds to use on Tusks.

If it were this easy for any profession to farm vermin HM, then I guess celestial weapons would be down to a couple of pennies.

Tusked howlers/hunters are a completely different story. What works well on them, needs not work out at all on vermin.

What i said earlier was just a general observation. I wasn't harping on the OP or his points. It just got me thinking and so i posted my thoughts... I'm all for people posting ideas, builds, thoughts of their own! Post on!

Uhm, that was exactly my point.

btw.. this will never work on hm vermin.. heh, like i said. But i don't think it should go as far as calling his thoughts "stupid" eh?

The fact that a build of 8 skills built on the same basis as the OP's build means that there is no way in the world that it could farm Vermins in HM. As was previously said, even if your lucky enough to get out unscathed.. 3 VwKs cant take down a single Vermin.

Edit : Im pretty sure u can 600/smite them in HM. Im doing it now with thalkora infact... only getting crap though ;s.

Mobs 1 by 1.. just tried to take em all on... too much damage when soa is down for that tiny amount of time.

I've heard you could farm Vermin before in HM or something, but I wasn't around when it was possible.

Oh and as for VwK taking down vermin, I actually managed to kill one...

...ok so I cheated and used Vengeful and Ancestor's. Oh and I managed to cast 5 VwKs with lucky HSR.
