first off... most credit goes to an old player kvndoom , he did rockshot farming a while back... seeing as wary stance is now shorter recharge, its faster , heres the build

(its very specific)

sheild

-2/-2 (enchanted/stance)
(tactics or strength) (any req)

weapon

totem axe (if you dont ahve, just have as axe or sword with an armor bonus.... but the totem axe is perfect for this)

runes

suprior absorbtion
any vigor , suprior strength

atributes

16 stregnth
12 smite

skills:

rush (will last 21 secs... to activate the -2 stance on sheild)
doylak sigit (+42 armor , alsts 21 secs.. recharge 20 secs)
wary stance (use before SOJ...stops interupt)
Sheild of judgement{elite} (for the kill lol)
blahtzars spirit (for energy + adrenaline gain)
Watchful spirit (if you got more defence you wont need this)
-Blank-
-Blank-

IF you dont have enough defence, drop strength to 15, ad put tactics up, and add in watch yourself to the build, you will be able to spam it every 5 secs with baltherzars spirit.

Heres the vid (btw this was a crap run, i suauly get at least 10 more rockshots than this, spawn was bad)

Good Quality FULL SIZE 14mb on filefront

nah just kidding, downloading the video now. I'm definetly going to try this. Nice to kill something different from "normal" mobs. These bastards have ruined my farming with interupts so many times so it's nice to give something back to them!

What drops do you usually get? Golds, money?

Where exactly do you farm those rockshots? The ones near Augury Rock are pretty easy to farm with a Rit/Mes, just 1 VwK and spam Vw and they all die.

What you may wish to look at (if you were to try to Mo/W this) are the two new enchants that cause dmg to be reduced when hit, and another that does -dmg while the enchant is on you. That gives the monk 3 enchants now that do -X dmg received from physical and are non-elite.

You could possibly take anything that used to hit like 45+ easily.
