My W/mo Griffon farming build!
riddler251
Ok guys I know there is alot of W/Mo builds out there, and several that are centered around griffon farming. However, This build is more or less center around farming ne thing u want, that does physical damage, (I.E. Griffons, Trolls, Minator, ect.).
I am going to start off with my equipment:Not my exact equipment cuz I am poor but in theory the best to use:
Armor:
Ok u need Full Gladiators Armor with the +axe mastery helm. Throw a Sup Absorption in the curiass, a Sup Axe Mastery in the Helm, now as for the next two runes u can put them in ne part of the armor u want that is left, They are a Superior Tactics and Superior Vigor. The Gladiato's only has 80 base defense, however, it adds 20 def vs physical. giving u 100 defense per piece of armor. Also it gives u that extra energy, and even though u won't need the extra energy, it definatly can't hurt (if u want just get eh colectors version of the warrios armor from the desert, it has everything u need minus the added energy.)
Gear:
My Wepon and sheild are, Tanzit's Cleaver and a Max Ornate Buckler (8 tatics req) with +40hp (enchanted) (+45hp would be more desirable), and -2 damage (9% chance) (enchanted would be better)
Now your Hp will be decreased by 150 due to the Superior runes but do not worry. You will gain +30 (wepon) +45(sheild) +50 (Sup Vigor) = 125 hp, making ur over all loss only 25hp.
Attributes:
Healing Prayers: 8
Smiting Prayers: 7
Axe Mastery: 16 (1+3+12)
Tactics: 9 (6+3)
Strength 1 (left overs)
Ok as for skills:
Cyclone Axe - "Watch yourself!" - Bonetti's Defense - Symbol of Wrath -
Healing Hands - Vigorous Spirit - Mending - Bathazar's Spirit
How to do it:
Ok, Now obviously u will want to put on ur 2 enchantments, I go ahead and do them both b4 I even take off, usually the few rockshots and minotars u encounter will get a few hits in while u run refilling ur energy a little.
Now I like to try and take out the few Minotars first so I run in and gather them all up, ne were from 5-9. Step One: is throw on Watch yourself, vigorous spirt, healing hands, the cyclone, this will heal u, give u your energy back, and fill ur adrenaline back up. Step Two: Then I use Watch yourself - Bonetti's - Symbol of Wrath - Cyclone axe, IN THAT ORDER. the bonetti's keeps you from taking damage while casting Wrath, This combination will do roughly 80 to each minator, and 120 to the 1 or 2 that don't run. By the time they all get back around u you need to have redone your Vigorous spirit, and the second they get back around u use Step Three: Cyclone Axe - Healing Hands - Watch yourself - Cyclone Axe. This will do about another 50 damage to each, as well as healing you. Now I usually hit Cyclone axe one more time until Healing hands is gone and then again after wards. By now ur Bonetti's will definatly be recharged and Symbol of wrath should be as well, so repeat Step Two.
Use this same formula for Griffons and ne other farming u wish to do.
using My version of this build I can solo up to 9 Griffons at one time. If I could afford another Sup Vigor, Sup Absorption, and full Gladiato's right now, I would say I could get up to 12.
Note: This build takes practice to use and to get the combinations down right, but keep working at it and u will get it down in no time.

This is a very nice build, however for people like me who wish to get 5 groups or all of them in the area which could be 25-30 griffs it wouldn't work well with the AoE, if they run your mana is draining, plus the final thrust move that they will use would kill you before you could say "Ah!".
Don't get me wrong or anything your build is very nice for small groups. Just nothing for a big farmer whos looking for a huge group. At least your build allows you the power to kill rockshots if they get in the way, unlike some other ones which have like 8 axe.
How long does it take you yourself to clear the griffens not including boss's? I'm done is about 3mins - 5mins depending on rockshots, oh and not including walking time.

Hmmm, was just thinking, why not replace symbol with gladiators defense? You're sure to get more damage out of that.

Axe gloves, sword gloves, hammer gloves. Makes it easy to remember which piece of armor to change out later.

The ideal combination IMO for farming is a 3:1 Vamp Axe or a Zelous Axe(sp) with a fortitude mod like you suggested and a 16 armor shield with low req in str or tactics that adds hp while enchanted or in stance.

Ok as for skills:
Cyclone Axe - "Watch yourself!" - Bonetti's Defense - Symbol of Wrath -
Healing Hands - Vigorous Spirit - Mending - Bathazar's Spirit Drop the smiting attributes and all related skills you do not need them and it will just piss you off when they run away from you. Add 2 to the healing to get the best healing for your distribution from Live Vic/Cyclone. Keep the following IMO:
Bonetti's
Cyclone Axe
Add these IMO:
Glads Def
Heal Sig
Live Vic
Watchful Spirit
You can pick the last 2 skills. I bring Sprint to move from place to place and usually decide on the other according to what I am farming.

Tip...always cast the highest cost enchantment 1st then let your 1 pip regen kick in before applying the next enchantment so that you enter the fight with a good amount of energy to last until Bons Def is ready to fill you up. Quote:
