I tried it with Rt/Me and could not kill a single destroyer in NM they stack 5+ Rifts and 5+ Lamenations on you in about 20 seconds and you are dead.

Tried it a few more times still a no go;

I even tried using both Vengeful Weapon and VWK and stacking Elemental Resistance with Great Dwarf Armor, and even with all that, Vengeful weapon and VWK can not even come close to returning enough health to negate damage you take. So I think you have to be Warrior main in order to have enough armor to pull this off.

sry, imo E/Me solo is easier.

stoneflesh, stone striker, Mantra of earth, glyph of swiftness, Obs. flesh, arcane echo, silver armor, intensity/aftershock/optional/etc

16 earth req'd and 20% enchanting mod.

Warrior - Sentinel Insignia's + Base 80 + Conflag(hero) = 100 armor vs ele
Ranger - Pyrebound Insignia's + Base 70+30(vs ele) + Conflag(hero) = 115 armor vs ele
Rit/Mes - Herald's Insignia's + Base + Elemental Resistance + Conflag(hero) = 110 Armor vs ele

Rit/Mes Beats warrior ^^

and also rit is the BEST proffesion for this farm..... and as for HM, i may be a no go for anything but a warrior as you need a very large pool of health to withstand spikes.

great farming method for rangers, too bad destroyer cores are being overfarmed now though, the prices keep dropping.

Is Conflagration REALLY necessary? I don't have it and I've been farming fine (first wave all dead) in NM.

So I think you have to be Warrior main in order to have enough armor to pull this off. You shouldn't have any problems in normal using the rit/mes. 16 restoration/12 inspiration. Don't use ele resistance, use mantra of lightning.
I'll repost a pic for ya.



If Vwk doesn't recharge from air of superiority just do the circle kiting, stop to pop off a heal, kite some more, recast vwk and stand there. It's really that easy. Throw the ward up before your last vwk runs out. Activate A.O.S. for the first time after you cast your your arcane echo'd vwk, then maintain it as often as possible throughout the run. You should be able to maintain almost constant vwk.

I use dual 20/20's, and laugh at the chaos storms.

its also the thread you based your thread on, i requested a title change as my thread was based on almost all proffesions at the time.

I'll add your thread to my OP as you had some of the proffesions done before me.

wasn't all that hard realy

watched the vid once, went in, and survived.

As long as you have a +5nrg axe so you can always use VwK, use IWAY once the last dwarf dies and you chain VwK and endure pain to survive the first 20 or so seconds, it's a piece of cake

Is there any way doing the other waves? I am thinking to trap the 2nd wave with your hero (R/Rt + your hero i mean), never tried though.
