Farming Shards

What is the best class/build to farm obby shards?
i have a war that i am setting up with a melandrus axe build for the beach i was just wondering if there was something better.

thx

A/E is the easiest build to use(as long as you don't have the attention of a five yr old like me, you shouldn't die much )
All you have to worry about with a perma sin is just casting SF again, you can clear the whole beach+caves.... probably more.

Warrior used to be really easy to farm the shards but since they killed the armor stacking skills its not as efficient. That W/R and W/Mo build don't look to bad but with a sin you can grab several mobs at a time as opposed to having to pull one each time.

First off I believe this thread breaks a few forum rules. (posts about "what is the best...." and it's in the wrong section either way) Secondly, in response to the post above, there's nothing wrong with the warrior build for the beach.



Dragon Slash, Standing Slash, Silverwing Slash, Galrath Slash, "Shields Up!", Healing Signet, Sprint, Physical Resistance.

Wa/Me
Strength: 2+1
Swordsmanship: 12+1+4 (or a lesser rune)
Tactics: 11+1
Inspiration: 6

i did not think that you could get to the beach with perma bec there are the wars with hundred blades.

what do you use to get there?
would a cupcake be enough?

my main char is a sin so if i could do it on that i would.
thx again

Warrior build:

Defy Pain
Flail
Lion's Comfort
Sprint or Enraging Charge
Attack skill(Whirlwind Attack)
Attack skill(Cyclone Axe or Standing Slash)
Attack skill(Body Blow or other)
Optional

12+1+1 Weapon mastery(Axe or Sword)
12+1 Strength

That build is easy to use and fast(less than 30 to clear beach and cave if you're slow like me, or less than 20 if you're fast), and there is no pulling required. Optional can be Feel no Pain if you want a degen counter, Asuran Scan, or anything really. Knight's insignia, Superior Absorption, -2(stance), +30(or +45 in stance) shield. Melandru's Resilience means no IAS, so PvX fails.

Dark Escape will last more than long enough to break aggro for a perma, and a cupcake will easily do the job as well. You might need to wait until the 2 warrior, 1 monk group is closer before you hit Dark Escape to break free of all the foes.

I use the same build as MisterB, but with [keen chop] - it's the fastest against one enemy and [feel no pain] to minimalize the poison degen
1 run takes ~25 minutes with that build for me

I tended to swap out Shields up for I Am the Strongest, it made the killing much faster, I was able to clean out the beach as well as do the caves, just no dealing with Skales

cyclone, whirlwing, body blow, flail, defy pain , lions comfort, feel no pain or asura scan, sprint or enraging charge

i run this, posted on the old beach thread by someone forgot name

this build can also take on 3 skales at once [spam heal on recharge, dont worry about grenths balance, should always be around 200-300hp by spamming lions]

should be able to complete beach and cave in 18-22 minutes depends how good you are a balling the spiders at entrance(not including skales)
