haven't really seen a up to date build for warriors farming icy dragon sword. I watched some you tube videos and came to the finalized build.

OQUUM0ITxqQCF+EIB/V0k4kqiDWA

str 13
sword 10
inspiration 10

use sential armor with minor sword rune on helm and minor str,sup vigor,sup absorbtion, and vitae rune. I also suggest +7 armor vs elemental for sword and str shield with +10 armor vs cold and +30hp. lots of ale. For the run drink up and cast signet of stamina drunken master and go. i am unstoppable is for knockdowns and while drunk feel no pain is a nice +3 regen with 300hp to heal up/stay alive. Once at the cave just maintain defy pain,elemental resistance and switch off withe power attack and i am unstoppable. Then pick up loot and repeat. Most hits will be 0dmg if not clicking a consumable or two fixes that quite nicely

skills are as follow
1. power attack
2. defy pain
3. elemental resistance
4. lions comfort
5. i am unstoppable
6. feel no pain
7. drunken master
8. signet of stamina

Now it does use 3 pve only spells from eotn and lions comfort is kind of a waste. endure pain might be better fit for all the running.Haven't tested but power drain might be a good sub for lions comfort since i never needed to use it here. Its a nice change from w/rt build i seen which honestly super easy for the run but felt killing the imps was harder/took longer. feel free to try it out or critque.

just wanted to add i did do some runs with power drain replacing lions comfort. i'd say its a keeper. it gives me great energy management and with build can do all mobs in cave besides ice beast. The Shadow azure sometimes trip me up if i aggro to many,but with no heal besides some regen its going to happen sometimes.

Can't fault the logic

But I wonder why you're bothering though.... The IDS sells for 30k or less.
Seems like a massive kerfuffle for not much financial reward (unless you want one for a collection). There are FAR more lucrative farms you can do with a lot less effort...
Then again, the scenery is just lovely there.

Or have I missed something?
