Troll Farming - Experience Exploitation
tuperwho
You got it. Depending on the spawn, it may take 1 or 2 small groups along with the big one. But you get the right location (I usually just run past the avicara - killable, but annoying), trap and time, then pull. As long as you pull so they all hit the traps at the same time..... Booyah!

It may take a bit to get use to farming critters. griffons are (still farmable outside Destiny's Gorge) the best way to start. Trolls take a bit, still attempting to farm Ettins (only one i killed dropped a purple rune 
) The more you attempt it, the easier it will come to you.
The build that i use;
Atty Points: Healing = 11, Tactics = 16 (helm + sup. rune) Axe Mastery = 4 (dont care about weapon points unless im using a sword (only do for griffons))
(still have 1 more 15 atty point quest to do)
Skills: Glads Defence, Cyclone Axe, Bonetti's Defense (when Glads is recharging and mana is low), Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously, Mending (you'll see why), Sprint (to get past the avrica since i want trolls, not birds )
Equipment:
Vampiric Battlepick of Warding (gold)
Piercing Dmg 6-28
Dmg +16% (while health is below 50%)
Life Stealing: 3
Health regeneration -1 (thus the reason for Mending
)
Armor +5 (vs. elemental attacks) (came with it, will mod it when i find something else to stick on it)
Damage +20% (just cause )
Reinforced Buckler (purple)
Armor: 16 (tactics based)
Received damage -1 while in stance
Armor +6 (vs. Slashing attacks) (for griffons when i farm them)
And full glads armor for the mana pool. Just your normal run-of-the-mill W/Mo farming build. Easy way to get money though.

12 axe
11 tac
10 str
8wild
Apply poison
serpents quickness
doylak signet
gladiator's defenses
cyclone axe
bonettis defenses
watch yourself
sprint
i get all the aggro of the trolls then cast serpents quickness -> doylak Sig -> Glads defenses -> apply poison -> cyclone axe -> bonettis def, then keep switching off cyclone axe and bonettis def while adding watch yourself and doylak sig in the mix until glads def recharges. once it does recharge, re apply poison, and cyclone axe, watch yourself cyclone axe, bon def.then kill off the other alive, etc. this build owns, i can do 1 run in about 3-5minutes.
i also prefer to have glads armor for the energy, 2 dif axes (1 vamp, 1 15%in a stance with armor upgrade), and the +45hp - 2 dmg stance crimson carapece shield from that 1 collector. i think u guys should use this for gettin skill points bcuz w/ scroll u get 1 in like 8 minutes, along with selling to get a plat to buy skills, etc. props to whomever i found this build on.
Yup, though you can swap out Watch Yoursefl! for whatever you want.

I farm trolls with my W/N (using all warrior skills though) and i clear most of talus chute, except for the little road to Rankor and the Ice Golems/Tengu. (i kill all of the grawl, trolls, giants, and avicara braves, the braves only if i cna lure them away from the wise)
Trolls are good for experience and wood, but the good drops are minimal and the chests for me always seem to be purple.

Why don't you take out all the Axe skills, put 16 Tactics, add in Riposte/Deadly Riposte, and upgrade Healing to 9 so that Healing Breeze is +7 instead of +6?

O_O The point of having an axe, is to have adrenaline charge INSTANTLY whenever you pull of a cyclone. You can activate bonnetis on the spot and block 75% of all attacks. riposte/deadly riposte are great skills but are made for swords. 12 Tatics is enough. Personally i use this attribute setup Tatics: 12 Healing: 9 Axe Mastery: 11 Rest Into Smiting: 4 Anyone who needs help on seeing how Troll Farming Works you can PM my IGN: Baked Monkey i'll show you if im not busy in some mission/quest etc. tip: once u can master troll farming, start charging people and open up a power lvl service! it speeds things up =D

Since my normal attacks do 1-2 dmg (+3 with the vamp axe haft), Glads. Defense does the major damage. 37 dmg each time they get blocked. Would be sweet if they had flurry
BakedMonkey
yea, the back bone of farming trolls with a W/Mo is Glads Defence, however, i dont want to push my health too low =p hehe

Lol, ya, low health isn't wise since they can interrupt your cyclone axe and/or V. Spirit. Only rune i have is a Superior Tactics, to counter that I have a Major Vigor. So 446 HP is good enough for me
BakedMonkey
yeap, although i dont find v.spirit essential, i prefer healing breeze over it =p
also..OP, experience on the topic title is spelled wrong =p Archaic Nightmare
Why is there so much need for so much healing or defensive skills? Some of the builds here are a little overkill. My usual set up is with five sup runes but majors will work well enough or even minors.
Strength - 14 (11 + 3) Tactics - 14 (10 + 4) Axe - Normally is 12 (min to cover req of axe) Healing 8 1. Cyclones Axe 2. Dismember/Disrupting chop if going for ranger 3. Executioner's Axe 4. Gladiator's Defense 5. Bonetti's Defense 6. Dolyak Signet 7. Live Vicariously 8. Mending Using dolyak means you can saunter after the giants if you feel like it after or simply aggro all the trolls and kill then in 1 min. Thorath Of Krosa
Yeah I use a W/Mo Riposte build and didnt think much of it because of the low out put of damage but I did get a gold. As for avericera just go to the right and circle around the group and that mostly works for me ok well Im gone.
Jeremy_the_beard
heres my build:
Healing:11 Axe: 11 (10+1) tactics 12 (10+1+1) Skills: Vig Spirit Mending Life Vicariously Bonettis defence (for energy) Disaplined stance (for recasting Vig Spirit without loosing any hp) Defencive stance (if all else fails, i would like to have gladiators but couldent get it on the mission) Cyclone axe (gives +27hp from each enemy (11 (vig spirit) 13 (other enchant) 3 (vamp axe upgrade) i have taken on 18 of them with no problems, staying around max hp (590) (i have maj vig, HP+45 (ench) sheild & hp+24 axe upgrade) Note: the drops arnt actualy that good for this run, getting around a purple every 10 runs, a gold every 30. its great fun tho
Young Hero
I use more damage skills and it drops Smoosh about the same time as the troll henchies fall.
Sprint Glads D Cyclone Bonetti's Executioners Dismember Thrill of Victory Live Vicariously, with +10 for every hit thats all the healing I need. I wear Superior Axe/Sup Tatics and still survive. I use a firery batle axe of defense.The +5 or +7 physical is going to help you when 75% chance to block seems more like 20%.Stance collectors shield works good although I prefer Malions. If Cyclone get disrupted Iam dead but, it only happen 1 every 30 or so runs.I suggest you guys farm this place now because you know the Nerf Bat is on the way RagetheKilla
Here is a build that is really good and work on the avicara if they get in your way (Only Avicara Fierce and Brave, if you fight a avicara wise, well your screwed)
Glad's Defense Cyclone Axe Bonetti's Defense Watch Youself Doylak Signet (So they dont knock you down) Live Vicariously Vigorous Spirit Mending Healing - 8 Axe Mastery - 7 +3 = 10 Strength - 3 +1 +1 = 5 Tactics - 12+1 (So Glad's last longer)
Aztec Mijo
my build
triple chop (elite) cyclone executioner's sprint live vicariously mending bonetti's defensive stance healing 8 strength 12 (9+3) axe 16 (12+4) tactics 5 icy axe (+15 enchanted) shield req strength enchanted bonuses max armor, doesnt need any specific. cast mending and run to cave u can get 2 sprints if u start immediately enemies wont chase long if ur moving fast, then cast live vic once inside, if you are interupted use defensive then bonetti's then triple or cyclone then bonetti's again until u are recovered. sprint and defensive can be replaced. around 11-67 dmg, pretty fast about 30 secs once im set up, i like to aggro everyone i can and use krogg at main target, build doesnt work again ranger, take exec, sprint or defensive for wild blow to take him. i like this build because i can run around between rankor and droks for chests if i like. id also advise only farming during favor time if all you want is money/golds. heckler212
I tried this with glad defence and the trolls ran away when i put it on and it took for ever to kill them
Jeremy Untouchable
yeah, these builds are sucky now....sorry, it was a good steady cash flow for lots of warriors
-.-
First off, noticed the date this thread was made. Second off, notice the update notes that made Monsters run away after taking a certain amount of damage.
Darko_UK
Best bet is a R/Me with UW solo build to be honest since the nurf
sumasage
you guys should check out the ele build - i think it's the best. Kill the big group in about 15 secs. Harder to kill the bosses though.
