Griffon Run
Crimson Knight
well i dont have a longer enchant upgrade...will have to work on that. But the main problem is that while i find myself waiting for bonetti's to recharge, healing hands ends, causing me to take damage again, and I can't cyclone to regen, b/c i don't have enough energy b/c bonetti's isn't up yet.
Daren
I have no problems doing this - remember bonettis req. tactic.. I have 8-9 seconds on it, and thats enough.
Ive killed breeze over symbol of wrath = much faster / easier killing all + bosses (:

Extremely Godlike
do you use a sword Daren?? If you do could you tell me the skills that you use in this besides Symbol of Wrath? I would appreciate it very much

I still like what I use the best. Life never gets low unless I get arrogant. Gladiator's Defense, Watch Yourself, Healing Breeze, Mending, Balthazar's Spirit, Bonetti's, Dolyak Signet, Zealot's Fire. 9 Healing/Smiting, 3 + 1 Strength, 8 + 1 Sword, 10 + 4 Tactics. You always have a 75% chance to block, 10 pips of regen, and deal damage fast with Watch Yourself and Dolyak Signet being spammed when filled. Distracting Shot is nothing to worry about since your spells are too fast, and Bonetti's is always filled long before it needs to be used for the second time.
Edit: For some reason writing C o c k y (except without the spaces) puts that Go Red Engine thing in it's place? Uh, why?

I can take pretty much the whole zone with my w/mo build
i didnt even do my 2nd 15 attrib quest yet and i can do it
Attribs
11 axe
9 str
8 heal
10 tactics
Skills
Gladiators Defense
cyclone axe
mending
healing breeze
Bonettis Defense
vigorous spirit
live vicariously
shield stance(i use this if im low on health and need a quick fix to losing bonnetis if i want to heal)
i got a 2:1 vamp haft +25 health on my axe,and a 16 armor -1 while stance shield
Basically Same deal staying alive when mobbed with cyclone axe and bonneti's
-I cast mend get the first 3 mino's to chase
-cast live vicariously(no energy regen now so i attack the mino's until bonneti's charges, get 20 start running again)
-aggro what i need,cast gladiators,then cast vigorus spirit
-cyclone (bonneti's recharged,but i dont use it until gladiator's falls which with 10 tactics is about 2 cyclone axe's)
-repeat the cyclone bonneti's until vig runs out then gladiators and vigorous
i really dont need the healing breeze/shield stance but it helps if you see your health drop below 50% before cyclone recharges (which basically means your dead pretty soon, the trick mainly is to spam the hell outta bonneti's i usually mash the button before i have adren. to use it i can take the whole zone with ease, although i do mess it up time to time because i smkoe too much and get MJ Retardation (wink,wink)
hope that helped someone
EDIT: Update, no need for the vamp axe vig spirit and live vicariously alone can keep you alive, plus an axe with some armor penetration and +14%while enchanted helps kill faster

I found that this run is actually much easier than you would think. It is actually possible to do it just with Mending (used to horde monsters), Live Vicariously, Cyclone Axe, and Bonetti's Defense. First use Mending, then Live Vicariously after your energy fills up. After hording the monsters, you can Cyclone Axe and then Bonetti's immediately. Now this is the part where some people fail, they decide to cast something. Bonetti's is awesome for filling up your mana, but it also gives 75% chance to avoid attacks. Cyclone Axe along with live vicariously should be able to fill up about half your health if not more. You can just stand there with bonettis (assume you have a few points in tactics) until you can cyclone axe and bonettis again, with each cyclone axe putting you up to max health (make sure you click like crazy on bonetti's during your cyclone axe, because if you are 1 second too slow you will lose tremendous amounts of health during that second). If you get the timing right, those 4 skills are all what you need to be able to complete the run, meaning it is possible to do it without any elites. However, I did have superior absorption and the best armor available, but it should be possible if you don't have the absolute best stuff if you add in vigorous spirit (making cyclone axe heal you up to 100% every time). The key is to realize that you are only taking significant damage when bonettis is off and timing your casts so that bonettis will stay on for as long as possible (i.e. if you must cast a spell, cast it while bonettis is on and just before cyclone axe fills up, so once the spell is done, which turns off bonettis, you can axe and then turn it on within a second). So, non ascended people with the collectors armor can do this run! I figured this out while trying to use the same build against other monsters that could interrupt, and I often found my Vigorous spirit, healing breeze, Zealots fire, and sometimes even healing hands interrupted, but they cannot interrupt my cyclone axe because I do it while I have bonettis on, so I avoid their interrupts. I usually just survive off cyclone axe and bonettis until my other spells come back, but it's definitely possible to do it without the other skills, although it takes quite long.

Umm, I'm sorry but I've done both 15 attribute quests and I can get no where near the 12 axe mastery, 12 strength, 9 healing, 8 smiting and 4 tactics. The closest I can get is 5 Healing, 6 smiting, 11 strength, 11 axe mastery and 4 tactics. Even with runes I wouldn't be able to get it all to what you said. ?? Help?

I have to give kal credit for first showing me this, but a modified version is this.
8 healing, 11 smiting, 2 str., 12 axe, 10 tactics
skills
rez sig (just joking)
mending, bal spirit, vig spirit, bal aura, symbol of wrath, healing hands, cyclone axe, and bonetti's defense
I find this build more effective for taking down the monk boss and it kills them quickly. The drawback is that it requires gladiators armor, and without live vicariously you can die quicker if you are not careful.

If you do this with a sword (W/Mo)
Healing - 9
Sword - 9
Tactics - 9+1+3 = 13
Skills: Orison of Healing, Sever Artery, Healing Breeze, Bonetti's Defense, Gladiator's Defense, Zealots Fire, Mending, Balth Spirirt.
I took out Watch Yourself and added Sever Artery to help kill the bosses quicker.

If you do the same area and same monsters over and over again you get a warning that says "if you kill the same monsters repeatedly in the same area the drop rate will lower.Try killing monsters in different areas"...i have a secret spot that requires much less running that is similar to that but only more monsters and i can kill them much faster and lose much less hp

Finally I did the same thing on myself, but without that Healing Hands. I got my first 50k in under 3 hours, so it is very easy way to get money, experience and a lot of rare items. It is easy if you can just figure out the right timing and have some luck with you.

Me in that same spot
Didn't know it was a secret or anything, I've been going there for ages (I can hear the nerfbat coming). I've had some good times there, decent drops.
I decided to keep my build a secret, although I'm sure most of you can guess it right off the bat. And props for managing that to the OP, didn't think you could with a warrior.

I finally got my Monk/Warrior build working and with some help with the OP I have it perfected for the griffon run. Although, I lose quite a bit of health (down to 15) at the end but it's all taken care of. Basically, I use the 17 Cast of Protective Bond that gives me 1 energy down for each hit. I also used Essence/Spirit to get 2 energy when i get hit. So its +1 energy every time I get attacked. that adds up to a lot of energy. The firs tthing I do is cast healing breeze followed by zealots fire followed by bonettis and then aura. then I keep spamming divine boon for stops on breeze and bonettis. There you go, easy stuff. With that, you can probably figure the build. Key stone is Divine Boon which heals me for about 50 cause of my divine favor and damages for about 30 because of zealot's fire.

Heres the build i use:
W/Mo
Healing: 9
Smiting: 10
Protection: 4
Tactics: 8 + 2 (From helm and rune)
1) Gladiators Defence
2) Vig Spirit
3) Cyclone Axe
4) Bonetti's Defence
5) Sheilding Hands
6) Healing Breeze
7) Balthaza's Aura
8) Mending
Ok first round up your chosen melle creatures.
Cast 1
STAND STILL
Cast 2
Cast 3 (to get Bonetti's Defence fully charged in 1 swing)
Cast 5
WAIT FOR GLADIATOR'S DEFENCE TO END
Cast 4
Cast 6

Cast 1
Cast 2
Cast 3
Cast 5
(Usually by now everything is dead)
WAIT FOR GLADIATOR'S DEFENCE TO END
Cast 4
Cast 7
As for equipment, as long as u use an axe with a +10% enchantment grip you'll be fine. I recently got a max dmg, 15%dmg enchantment with 20% enchantmen grip - so i use that now (i found that on a griffin run)
As for shield i use the collectors shield outside rankor, -2 dmg when in a stance.
As for armor i use:
Ascalon's Helmet with a minor tactic
Glad Chest with minor strength
Glad Leg with minor axe
Glad Gloves with major vigor
Glad Boots with major absorption
This gives total of 521 health and 27 energy which is needed for this build.
I cannot afford a superior so eh
As for the amount of creatures i can kill, well i usually end up grouping most of the griffons and minos around there, definetely more than 20.
As for loot i found, well they have been pretty good i.e +1 marksmenship grip (20% chance). IF only i could sell them.

I found a much faster build. My APPROXIMATE attributes are:
10 smiting
10+1 strength
8 axe mastery
8 healing
2 tactics
My reasoning: I need 8 in healing for the +3 mending. I need 8 in axe mastery to use my axe (REQ=8). I need 11 strength to use my shield (the +1 comes from the helm). The rest go into smiting for more damage, and whatever doesn't go into that goes into tactics.
My skill setup is as follows:
Cyclone Axe
Bonetti's Defense
Healing Hands
Zealot's Fire
Mending
Balthazar's Aura
Vigorous Spirit
Balthazar's Spirit
Start out after you zone by casting mending and balthazar's spirit. This will bring you down to 0 energy regeneration, but that is not a problem. Collect them mobs, then stop and cast healing hands followed by zealot's fire. Balthazar's spirit gives 1 energy every time you're hit, so you should be full on energy to use Balthazar's aura* followed by vigorous spirit.
You then survive with cyclone axe and bonetti's defense until healing hands is recharged. By this point I find most of the griffons/minotaurs are already dead, and the stragglers are now coming up to fight. When healing hands is ready again, cast it and balthazar's aura which should be recharged by then. Follow that up with a cyclone and bonetti's then zealot's fire and vigorous spirit when they are ready.
With balthazar's aura, it's 20 damage a second for 10 seconds, not counting an enchantment grip, which can equate to 200+ extra damage.
*note that you MUST be wearing something to boost your mana above 25, whether it be a healing ankh or gladiator's armor. Personally, I use gladiator's armor and one piece of knight's armor, which boosts my energy up to 26.
As for weapon and shield, I use a max damage 3:-1 vampiric axe 13%>50 with a 16% longer enchantment grip. 16% seems to be the cut-off point for 12 seconds of healing hands/balthazar's aura. My shield has 16 defense and -2 armor received while enchanted.
I hope this helps kill the griffons faster. It certainly does for me, so give it a try.

Kudos to the OP, that video is awesome. On a side-note, Gaile says that farming is 100% ok, but if so why can only monk and warriors farm good areas? I mean there must be some creatures in the desert that are weak to elemental damage.

Also i do get the jist of what people are saying, i was just asking. Please stop being patronizing..
badassmonkee
Ah ok, no problem. Its just if they use mending, and zealous you have no regen, And minus energy with another enchantment on top of that. I wasnt actually using the op's build but the one i quoted a page back. Smiting with an ele is so much easier so i guess im gonna have to keep on doing this till i get it right :\
Anyway thanks for clearing that up for me, no hard feelings eh?

I have a weapon on switch that gives me enough plus to energy to throw up Balthazar's since the warrior only has a natural 20. I could get some Gladiator's, but I'd rather not risk salvaging my superior vigor/absorption.

Also, if anybody cares; I run a slightly modified build where I have 3 permenant enchantments: Balth Spirit, Mending, and Live Vicariously. I put up mending and balth spirit at the start, then once i engage I throw up bonetti's and then put on live vicariously. This way I have -1 energy regen but that really doesn't change a single thing until you get down to 1 or 2 griffons at the end, in which case you could just take off live vicariously. The benefit to having both of these is that once you target one of the griffons and start hacking away at it you get +20 health every 1.3 seconds and it seems to really help a lot. If the griffon you've targeted dies just make sure you switch to another.
Of course, you also get double health for a cyclone axe swing too.
