R/Me - ettin harvester

First of all I'd like to thank Dan Backblade for his post about shiro'ken farming. It was that which inspired me to play about and get this build together. Before posting this I had a search and have not seen anyone else post this type of ettin build but if someone has, I apologise.

I havn't seen a ranger build for ettin farming as efficent as this and for that reason thought you fellow rangers might like to try it. We might even get a few more rangers in beetletun to dilute down all the wammos.

This is not a guide about how to farm ettins, there are plenty of those about already, this is simply a new way to do it and to do it very efficiently with a ranger. Normally killing ettins with a ranger can be long winded and quite a chore but not any more.

With this build, rather than killing 1 at a time, we kill them all in one go.



Skills:
Storm chaser
Physical resistance
Ancestors visage
Sympathetic visage
Famine [E]
Primal echoes
Illusion of weakness
Troll unguent

Atrib:
Illusion - 10
Inspiration - 4
Beast Mastery - 7
Expertise - 7 (6+1)
Wilderness survival - 15 (11+1+3)

Weapons:
It's really your own preference but I use Illyana's staff
Edit: Now changed this to a collectors illusion staff with staff head of defense +5 & wrapping of shelter +7, works much better.

Notes:
It's important you lay your spirits down behind you so the ettins never run towards them because if a ettin spots your spirit it will run over to it and kill it, which then means you have to wait around on recharges.
If your taking a large pack remember to use Illusion of weakness first, it makes a really good safety net in case you take just a little too much damage. I've never died whilst running IOW although I have done when I have forgot to use it.

I hope others find this build as fun as I do and good luck getting them sup vigors.
