This is a really simple build idea I came up with trying to figure out the fastest way to farm this dungeon for Dwarven points. The build was originally designed for a team build with a bunch of SF ele's and a monk or 2. It however to my surprise not only makes a fast paced tank to clear the dungeon but it also can solo the first 2 mobs. The way you use it is just get them to bunch up as much as possible and let their projectiles do all the work.

Attributes are:
12 Communing
16 Expertise

[skill]Defiant was Xinrae[/skill] [skill]Whirling Defense[/skill] [skill] Dwarven Stability[/skill] [skill]Great Dwarf Armor[/skill] [skill] Air of Superiority[/skill]

The last 3 slots can be anything you want but those are the 5 key skills.
So good luck to everyone on their farming I've been earning the dwarven points like no tomorrow using this build with the double point weekend.

Mostly we try to over-engineer things, and yet sometimes we are shown how simple some things can be!

Nice build.
How does it compare to the nuke build? (6 SF/MS eles + 2monks?)

I would say the optimal build would be the r/rt going in first to get agro which then disables all the snowmen's skills and then the whirling defense can put out a lot of damage if they mainly focus fire on him. I've wiped a packed group in 3 seconds before and since they have all their skills disabled that are damage based it also takes a huge amount of pressure off the monks since their wand attacks do like 10 damage tops in hard mode. So overall I would say the build you suggest minus 1 SF for the ranger instead.
