hi,
im pretty much poor and the best scythe in the game (in my opinion) is dwaynas grace...i have a Dervish...Necro...and...Warrior at lvl 20.
(my dervish can do a lot of things like trap ect..) ive looked up a riposting warrior build and it works.. slightly.... like i wont even get touched but dwayna gets healed every 2 seconds...honestly i prefer a dervish build but whatever works works for me.

i havent tested this yet because i dont really wanna start at the beginning of NF to get to dwayna so ill ask you people first. Would a 55 Necro work? with SS so dwayna hurts herself every hit. just thinking of ideas.

Much appreciated

I think he means that their 'icky' as in hard/annoying to farm/kill in general (damn madness titans). Theres a good W/Mo build if you just search. I haven't read all of it, but it looks like it has some good discussion aswell.

55hp doesn't work because of shatter enchantments due to the mob.. if you clear the mob you don't have enough energy to keep your enchants up..

i use a signet of midnight/signet of humility/mantra of inscriptions/spirit shackles/price of failure build..

works pretty well after you cleared the whole mob..

there should be a thread with the build around, but i cann't find it at the moment..

Straight up spirit spammer rt works best of all the builds i've seen.
There's also a riposte warrior build somewhere.

ok.. to reply to all your messages i will do them in order..

1. i see what you mean about "icky" but that build u suggested sucks or maybe i do? im not that type of warrior i gues..

2. the 55 thing is to just solo dwayna alone.. dwayna doesnt have shatter enchant cause ill have a henchmen group kill all around dwayna then ill flag them far back so its impossible for them to get the drop.

3. i do have a ritualist but he is not a spirit spammer. ive never been one before, maybe with the right build i could pull it off but i dont know the build, and the riposte thing isnt to good.

4. what part of "poor" dont you understand? LoL!

you have a dervish and a rit are both are able to farm. I do know it means more when you get the drop you are looking for but when all else fails it is nice to have the gold to just buy it.
and you have characters that can make you that gold.
I have lost count of how many Ghial staffs I have sold that my ritualist farmed for me. or how many nightbringers and Exuro's Will my dervish has cashed in on . But I can tell you this it is gold in my pocket and not sitting here saying I am poor.
so poor player or poor at playing ?

If you would like help on learning either run or how the builds work I will be more then happy to teach you..

give a person fish he eats one meal teach him to farm and he can buy all the fish he wants!

I tried this one with a 130 hp dervish and was able to get the boss alone, but I didn't have enough damage to kill her. I might try again sometime with the incorporation of Scourge Healing or something though. However, to be honest, it's really a lot easier to farm some lesser boss a couple times and sell greens for enough profit to buy a Dwayna's Grace since you really have to get a good spawn and be careful with cover enchanting yourself.

Marverick's talking about the N/Me Acolyte farmer build. It's old news.
55's using spoil victor+vamp touch also farm her well.

1. i used to be rich... heres the story..about a year ago i baught the game. back then "thirsty river" was an easy run, so i created a build and ran 5k a person a billion times.. then GW got boring (back then i only had a warrior) and i quit with 600k...a year later (now) i came back and baught NF and created 4 new characters...baught them weapons...baught them 15k armors...and baught 2 peices of FoW armor on my warrior which braught me down to 85k. then recently i beat NF and baught my primeval armor..-75k and used the last 10 on the materials for it so im poor now and since thirsty river is a hardass run now.. i dont really know how to make money anymore so i just try to do things cheapest way possible till im rich again.

2..no im not up for buying but i will PM u later.

3. on the 130 derv thing thats exactly what i did but the damage wasnt enough so i got screwed over.

4. nice build, when i get 8k ill try that.

Nightbringer sells for 20k really easy. Will is like 10k.
But really, if you want money, the best way to do it is by chest running the Desolation or Torment areas.

Signet of Midnight - Mantra of Inscriptions - Signet of Humility - Spirit Shackles - Spirit of Failure - Price of Failure - Reckless Haste - Empathy Sry dude this wont work, Avatar of Dwayna removes a hex with the use of every skill, your only chance is edrain or overwhelm her with spiking(but u need a group for that). Hexes are crap against her its a very technical farm and not the easiest thing in the world to do.

She can't strip hexes if she never gets into the avatar form now cans she?

I think this is the build some people were referring to, don't remember who posted it.

[skill]Wanderlust[/skill]
[skill]Anguish[/skill]
[skill]Pain[/skill]
[skill]Shadowsong[/skill]
[skill]Dissonance[/skill]
[skill]Painful Bond[/skill]
[skill]Leech Signet[/skill]
[skill]Boon of Creation[/skill]

16 Communing. Don't remember the other stats... i had an 18s/18damage Painful Bond though. Use a staff with +15/20 energy ideally. I cast the spirits in that order, works out best in terms of Boons energy gain.

I'm sure you can figure it out... clear out the enemies, let her settle, set up the spirits, lure, interrupt the avatar, hex her and stand by the spirits and wand her.

The agro can be weird... sometimes she runs forwards then runs back. Occasionally she'll cast Vow of Piety before her Avatar so be aware. Once she's stood next to the spirits, she's screwed.

There wouldn't be any point putting it on wiki now anyway, it seems they're deleting all builds as of May 1st. Don't really get why but who really cares... i never go there for builds anyway.

I've tried this with Spirit Shackles and she just doesn't attack fast enough to stay completely drained of energy, Reckless Haste might help i guess, but that Rit/Me build does the job easily. No f*cking around waiting for her to slowly die through energy denial. She dies in about 10-20 seconds if things go well, if they don't you can run off, chat for a bit/surf forums, come back a couple of minutes later and retry now her Avatar has fully recharged (safer when it comes to interrupting it).

Sliver armour? This boss could heal through Sliver Armour like it was nothing, its healing is insane. I guess it 'could' be possible if you could lure both boss groups and her groups together with maybe a couple of patrols, but chances are by then Shadow form would've worn off...

With my build she's dead in 1:30 or less. (Or you've screwed up one of the hexes or you are extremely unlucky: 40% hp heal chain ftl) That's why I never saw the point in the scourge healing riposte build.

With that build she's dead in about 60 seconds total from start to finish. ALOT simpler than screwing around keeping hexes, stances and blinds up. Much less prone to error if you can press 'qwerty' on your keyboard and interrupt a 1s skill.

the problem i find with spirit shackles is she attacks so slow with the scythe that she almost always has enough energy, but i'll have to try it combined with reckless haste. the real trouble is that all her skills are practically only 5e so 1 slip can set you back, just be careful and practice it.

@Craero: i agree on the scourge healing build, it was crap imo. I'll try your build out to see if i like it better.

Yeah the Riposte builds are definatly a waste of time... she can just power heal herself right back from 5% without ever actually hitting you.

Spirit spamming works, and you don't need to interrupt the avatar...your just need a clock (wink)

hmm think I'll go try out that necro build, maybe it can match spirit spam speed..

Doubt it, spirit spam is much faster at actually reaching her and clearing the mobs out too. All you really have is Empathy... makes you feel a bit useless.

I suck with interrupts, so I tested signet of humility at 6 inspiration....and it owns. Who cares if she tries to activate her form under wanderlust+dissonance =]
