Minotaur Killer

Hello,

Nice to meet you all, I just recently registered on these forums, a long time stalker . First off id like to say Hi. I dont get to play GuildWars much, maybe every weekend for 5-6 hours due to girlfriend and school. So I dont have alot of money, I found an easy solution, not great, but good enough. In the desert at Elona's Reach you can just enter the mission. Well since I havent bought factions ( Which I just bought today, yay for tax returns! ) I didnt have alot of money. I just barely had enough to buy Droknar's 1.5k armor after completing prophecies. So I was helping a friend and noticed hey, these minatour dont have that bad of drops. so I went back to town after helping him, and looked at some skills. I set my skills bar as follows

Watch Yourself!, Dolayks Signet, Bonetti's Defense, Healing Signet, Deadly Riposte, Riposte, Healing Breeze, and Gladiators Defense.
I have my Attributes around Sword 11, Tactics 13 Strength 8. and Healing with just enough for healing breeze to do +4 health regen. (Dont quote me, not on the computer with the info right now, As long as tactics is up there, thats all you need anyways)

I start off by killing the first two up top, Usually just attacking with sword, and using riposte and deadly riposte a coupe of times. I then proceed down to the middle where all the minotaurs are.. I use a bow I have (dmg dosent matter just to pull) and then I shoot one in the middle, then run off by the little pond thingy on the right side (if you were looking down from where you started). I at first use Watch Yourself, and Dolayk Signet while im waiting for all the minotaur to start attacking. I then use Healing Breeze, and throw on Gladiators Defense. Stay attacking while doing all this, Spam Riposte and Deadly Riposte, as quick as the skills let you. When Gladiators is about to wear off I use healing signet then throw on Bonetti's Defense, Right before bonetti's Defense wears off I use healing signet. Then Dolayk and Watch Yourself, then about 5 or so seconds later You can use Gladiators again... Just play around with it, And you will get it pretty easily.
P.S. I used a 15-22 Icy Gladius, with 15%^20% armor pen+20% Customized. I believe are all the mods??? and a Magmas shield armor 16.

I understand this isnt some uber guide to killing everything, but I usually end up after about 5-7 minutes a run with 500g-1plat.. This has really helped me was quick and fun, get alot of horns and mane's.... I will accept anything anyone wants to say thats helpful, if you hate it then im sorry. Hopefully this can help someone who needs it.

try the 55 build posted here : http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...=55 s+rejoice

it is faster and much more effective. but what ever works i supose :P

I dont really have much time to create a new char, but I wonder if it would be viable to use defensive stances, and go W/Ele and throw fire skills in there along with gladiators defense? and use a +15 energy offhand...
Think it could work?

This includes some factions skills i think but I used to run this before i learn to UW farm with a warrior

Gladiators defense
Whirlwind
On your knees!
cyclone axe
Bonnettis defense
Healing signet
Armour of earth
Sheild stance

It was developed over a long time and i could do a run in under 2 mins, but that was ebfore the nerf.
run into the middle and use sheild stance then cast armour of earth, when all the minotaurs arrive spam gladiators defense -> cyclone axe -> whirlwind -> on your knees! -> gladiators deense for ever until they are dead, keep armour of earth up adn heal when ever you like, bonnettis is a failsafe use it if you mess up, ALWAYS be in a stance.
I cant remember the attributes but it goes a bit like this.
Tactics - as high as possible
Earth - second highest around 11-12
Axe - the rest
Air - no point

I used an earth offhand and a zealous axe, hope this helps, oh and the reason i dont do it any more is because they tend to run away after the nerf but mabye you can take some ideas from this.
