Also have to remember to get all the griffins as there are some that are down in the lower valley. Those are the ones to be careful of so that you don't aggro the Sand Ele's. I'll post some averages after I finish my computations.
Good evening grace, I set this build up as a hybrid for wurm farming and griffin farming together, there are of course builds that may be better for one or the other but I don't think this one is a bad one for both. I once again appreciate the support from you this morning, I took a look there and saw that our flammer is now banned. Made me chuckle. Its too bad really, I wonder what he did. Anyways you let me know how this turns out for you in the long run, and I know that you get bad spawns sometimes, but I ran this several times last night and killed everything both times, I died once total because I tried taking some ele's.

Thanks again.

Again, I like your thread layouts. Clear, concise information and a nice format. You will rise quickly through the ranks of Warrior posters, young padawan. (I am in no way trying to make you out as my disciple, just giving you the heads up!)

so you have 11 in swordmanship just for final thrust? genius. I run a 55hp build for the wurm farming.... but I believe that build needs the points in sowrdsmanship for more than just final thrust... with that build u don't run from the enchanted... and with the bows there.... u need points in swordsmanship to hack away that them... i know cuz i tried it with my tank..

good build though amsterdam.... i do however prefer my 55 build... but thats a secret

I dont know why people augee over a build, people should be prould of other people using the're template's for creating other build's. In template i mean style and simular skills its only a build nothing to lose your heads over with..

I think alot of people argue because its kinda hard... with only 8 skill slots to be totally original.... I mean if u play WoW..... good luck having the same skill sets.... but oh well.... its always the same with builds.... someones is better than someone elses, somebody stole ideas.... who cares really....My skills bar has to be indentical to someones.... and I didn't get it from a post

Farming these griffons is great. I can usually get at least 2k a run (not incuding bleached shells

)

I found only 1 wurm myself. I also took out sprint and added Final Thrust.
13 Sword and 13 Tactics seemed to work great. I used Dolyak maybe once, the other skills were fine, so I may drop it. I think I may sub in Wary stance instead. -feedback?
I think I can do Gladiators followed by the ripostes, bonettis and then wary stance. By that time I can use final thrust to finish of the first or 2nd griff and start the combo over again.

I took out Dolyak's and Vigorous Spirit and added Gash, Healing Signet. This build is mainly a six skill build. Gash helps a lot to kill Wurms quickly.

Points in sword are pointless. The Riposte's are doing your damage here. You can spam the hell out of them - even while in Glads Defense. Putting points in Strength for a long Dolyak Signet is what you should be worried about. Increasing your armor decreases the damage you take. Final Thrust is a liability because it drains all your adren, which you need for your Riposte and Bonetti's. The Riposte's do far more damage than you can hit Final Thrust for.

With enough points in Strength, Dolyak can cover you for the whole time and you will never need any extra healing from healing sig or healing breeze...you will be taking 0 damage from the Griffons and 1-5 from the Wurms.

Once again guys, I really appreciate all the positive support. As far as wurms are concerned, I think if you guys are thurough in weaving around every rock in the group, you will find 2-3, if you just run through the middle you may only find 1 wurm, I was conservitave with my estimates, and besides, those rocks are a 30 second run from dunes

you can go back if you get a lousy spawn.

Thanks one more time SO MUCH for your positive support, this guild did take time, photoshop, uploading, and writing, not to mention going out and getting all those screens.

You guys are the best, and I am flattered.

My suggestion is that you should no longer post your personal builds any longer. Too many people are too quick to jump to conclusions.

I had a 2 man FoW build that I intended to post, but I just don't feel compelled to on such a forum.

I appreciate the walkthrough, quite feasable.
