Cast Spoil Victor to mob which you want to kill and spam Vampiric Bite
So far soloed couple bosses (killing Arrash takes ~25 seconds) and some Yetis outside Fort Aspenwood (Luxon)

Remember, this is 55hp build. You need to have -50 Grim Cesta from Cities of Ascalon quest obtained from.. umm, can't remember the name
Keep Prot Spirit always on and Healing Breeze and you'll be fine ^^

Even though you keep pimping this topic, I still don't see how that is 'farming'.
For me, farming is killing plenty of monsters, for plenty of loot, in a time as short as possible. Killing monsters one by one is not farming in my eyes.

You can disease the hell out of the minotaurs, and sure they will all die, it just takes some time. But even that I don't really consider as an option because it's so slow.

The undead don't seem to really care about running away (Krytan Undead at least), and Shield still slaughters them, just a few seconds slower than before.


But imho, taking a skill that targets one enemy at a time is not farming.

Repeatedly killing a boss is to me called farming.

Well now its much harder to kill a large scale group of monsters, for time being untill the community busts out some new builds we have to stick with the directly targeted monsters and/or pulling smaller groups, either way all PVEers have been hit hard with this nerf

Can this build work on a N/Mo? To Exclude Divine Favor, but is it that important?

yes it does work since my Necro is 55, u have to use spirit more often but u can do damage faster. Mo/Ele or Ele/Mo works too as does A/Ele etc.

for n/mo, replace mending with watchful spirit, and replace HB with blood renewal. Don't need to put any points in healing.

There's no way you can maintain healing with blood renewal and watchful spirit. Also, the 10 second recharge of blood renewal is way more of a hinderance than the 2 second healing breeze one. If you get interuppted while casting renewal, you're basically done for. Healing breeze you can keep spamming it and constantly keep it refreshing. The spike of health at the end of blood renewal won't last you very long at all and you'll quickly be overwhelmed.

Having done extensive farming with a variation on this build (N/Mo), i can pretty much say that this one is 100% effective. I myself run mending _and_ watchful spirit so that i can get a constant stable +5 health regen which combined with the healing breeze allows me to stay on top of any conditions put on me. A quick vampiric bite every now and again keeps me topped up.

i'm done with farming.

to me a build needs to be quick, efficient and able to repeat 100% of the time. lots of these new solo builds are brilliant but lets be honest your never going to make any amount of cash with it.

the only thing i really do now is spider cave fow runs which are a bit slow and unreliable.

something like 3 minute griff runs for 2k a run outside augury would be nice right now..lol

This is still a good idea...but it's also like the 3rd or 5th thread (I believe a few are by the same person) about this build.

Does the build work as good as the n/mo boss farmer?
