I did this quickie build to do a real fast farm of The warrior/Ele bosses outside of Sardelac Sanitarium.

There are probably better builds to do this, but I just made it for the Purposes of testing it. I'll probably work on it a lot more tomorrow.

So Let's get going:

R/Any:



[skill]Practiced Stance[/skill][skill]Kindle Arrows[/skill][skill]Distracting Shot[/skill][skill]Any IAS Skill Or Penetrating attack[/skill][skill]Dryder's Defenses[/skill][skill]Lightning Reflexes[/skill][skill]Throw Dirt[/skill][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill]

Code: OgATcXsm1I4x2xPm4FH1+GA

Attributes

Expertise: 15 [11 + 3 + 1]

Wilderness Survival: 12 [10 + 2]

Marksmanship: 10

Armor

Preferably Full Radiant, but any will do.


Weapons

Shortbow of some kind, preferably [wiki]Urgoz's Shortbow[/wiki]. Any will do though.

Longbow. Purely for pulling, so any old longbow will do.


This farm is SUPER Easy, and very fast with the chance of Elites tomes and lockpicks, it's a decent farm IMO.


Prep: Turn on Hard Mode, and go to Sardelic Sanctum. Head out to old Ascalon and go forward a little bit. There will be on of three things there:

1) A whole bunch of Grawl...(can't farm for sure...)

2) [wiki]Flint Touchstone[/wiki] the Ele boss that you want to farm.

3) Or [wiki]Cobble Poundstone[/wiki] a Warrior boss that you also want to farm.


Usually you'll get Cobble Poundstone or Flint Touchstone. You only get grawl every so often..


The Guide

Cobble Poundstone:
Once you get a Cobble spawn, pull him away from all other enemies. once that arrow hits him, immediately go back a couple steps, and use both [wiki]Practiced stance[/wiki] and [wiki]Kindle Arrows[/wiki]. once he rubs up and starts attacking you, use [wiki]Lightning Reflexes[/wiki] and keep attacking until Lightening Reflexes runs out. Once it Runs out use [wiki]Dryder's Defenses[/wiki]. Continue to Attack. If you find yourself low on hp use both [wiki]throw dirt[/wiki] and [wiki]Troll Unguent[/wiki]. Stay Alert, because once Cobble's Health gets below 50% he will try using [wiki]Healing Signet[/wiki]. Interrupt it using [wiki]Distracting Shot[/wiki] and continue to Attack. Oh yeah, use your IAS stance after you use troll unguent and throw dirt.


Flint Touchstone
Go forward, and aggro Flint. As soon as you come into range, he will use eruption. It is vital that you use distracting shot to interrupt his eruption skill. From here it's a cakewalk, just use your stance, and keep kindle arrows up. Use Your stances to keep alive, and kill him faster. Again, if you run low on hp, use Throw Dirt + Troll unguent. Make sure to stay alert once he runs low on hp, because he might use Eruption again, which you want to interrupt w/ distracting shot.


That's about it, pick up your loot and head back to Sardelac.

Average Time: 3 minutes.

I don't mean to piss on your picnic but a W/X can farm both Cobble and Flint with no problems and it's about twice as fast...so why would i do it as a Ranger? Iirc an Assassin is the quickest way to do it.

ermm .... some people may not have a warrior or a sin. Think before ya type

I think the point he was trying to make was that, while it does work, it's not necessarily the most efficient way.

If you're serious about farming, I imagine you might want to have the best class for a given job. I think it's an interesting build, but I don't necessarily see it as exclusive to Cobble. It's something you could use against any melee boss... but if you were fighting a melee boss, other classes would be better to do.

Like I said, I'm always interested in seeing new builds and how they're used; it's just that, in this case, I don't think it's the best method available.

its called Sardelac Sanitarium not Sanctum

what build do you guys use for warrior?

I wasn't aware that this boss was even worth farming to begin with, even before all the drop nerfing.

EDIT: You could probably take out Flint simply by swapping BHA in for Prep Stance, it's inefficient to mix with Kindle b/c Kindle can already be infinitely maintained.

You guys can actually farm flint with the build, you just have to use Distracting shot right at the begging, so you interrupt and disable his eruption. Here's something that makes the build a bit easier:

R/W

[skill]Practiced stance[/skill][skill]Kindle Arrows[/skill][skill]frenzy[/skill][skill]distracting shot[/skill][skill]Dryder's Defenses[/skill][skill]Lightning Reflexes[/skill][skill]throw dirt[/skill][skill]troll unguent[/skill]

Same Stats + Weapon...


Although this statement:

Quote:

While the bosses aren't worth too much farming, I have farmed a lot of Hulking Stone Elementals in the area. I have gotten a few tomes, a few golds, lots of granite and lodestones, a good bit of charcoal, and a decent amount of money. I do it as an Elem/Mo, works pretty quickly.

Well, turns out after I made this statement, I got a couple drops..

Here are some sceenies:
