Appreciated. I was trying last week but as you can see from the screens I'll post it's not necessary your build is awesome as it is. Here is a screenshot of how many your build can tank:


Here is another screenshot were you can see that I killed all the guards inside the city on top of the wall. But since there were too few enemies I ran out of energy. (Time is around 20 minutes).


I have played quite a few days last week with your build and I had great drops (a couple of black and white dyes, lots of gold and many gems. I think only this week these runs got me around 150-200k but I played quite a lot though). And DOA is hot atm everyone seems to want to have a tormented weapon so you can sell those gems easily. A screenshot of a good run:


I brought a few heroes and flagged them at beginning just to use them when there are too few margonites, but I never got to it (after playing so much I kinda got sick of DOA . It would be a great challenge to be able to clear City with your build and some heroes (just for the part with less enemy for the energy). But I'll pass for now I am taking a break from DOA.

Once again great job, and thnx for the guide.

I've been running this build and so far it's been the best for me.

[skill]Stone Striker[/skill][skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill][skill]Sympathetic Visage[/skill][skill]Stoneflesh Aura[/skill][skill]Sliver Armor[/skill][skill]Aura of Restoration[/skill][skill]Mantra of Earth[/skill][skill]Kinetic Armor[/skill]

Visage drains the melee of their adrenaline so they have no way of using Magehunter's Smash and also deals extra damage with Famine.

Just make sure you don't stand next to the Margonite Rangers; otherwise they'll have no energy to fast Quickening Zephyr and you'll be screwed.

So, I've finally managed to get the hang of this build to stay alive, but I've
got another problem.. they simply won't die.
Most of the time I end up boxed in by 4 dervs and from there it just goes on until I get tired of it and quit.

Any hints on where I go wrong?

Try to get close to a monk, because he is healing them. Or use Sympathetic Visage variant and drain 'em.

I've tried to move a round to get Sliver to target teh monks but no luck so
far.. I'll give the other build a go to see if me luck turns.

If you keep Sliver Armor active for a longer time, it will eventually kill or make one of the nearby Melees run away, this need to happen twice. Once this have happened, Sliver Armor will target the monk (which should be around, as it walks out of the group when healing).
Also, this process might take a while, once took me 3 minutes just to get the monk down.

Well.. I'm back to dying all the time.. they're just too slow on getting QZ up
so I'm forced to recast enchants while it's down... utter failure.
O well at least I gave it a go.

So i've done this a few times and I can only seem to do the first large mob. are these builds not ment to do more than the first group or am i just doing a poor job of energy management and enchantment up-keep?

This build is capable of soloing just about everything before you enter the fortress in City of Torc'qua. I usually just kill the first 3 groups of enemies as they:
Only consists of 1 monk
Several rangers
Gives gemstones (duuh )
