Ok I took the basic 55 healing monk build farming for dead swords. This is the first time I have done it and also the 1st time I have ever used a 55 build. Last night I did 4 total runs. I have a couple questions

1. Why do I keep getting interrupted? Maybe I am missing it but the warrior spirits seem to only hack away at you. And the casters use some spells but I did not see any interrupts being used? So why do I get interrupted? Do there normal standard attacks interrupt as well? I was able to spam my skills to keep alive but kind of a pain.

2. I received four gold items in four runs 1 Qty Gold Ancient 11 req Tatics shield, 1 Qty Gold Ancient 11 req Command shield, 1 Qty Dead sword req 9, 1qty Dead sword req 11. Was I extremely lucky or is this a normal kind of run. If this is normal I feel like a fool farming trolls with my warrior.

Thanks in advance

I forget the exact skill, Savage Slash I belive, but the warrior spirits use a skill that interrupts you. Bring mantra of resolve and you should be ok, or use SV/AV to drain their energy so they cannot afford it (get it up before they get close to you).

As for your drops, thats quite a bit better than I get. I usually get 1 gold every 3-5 runs. That dead sword you got is a nice drop.
