I tried the ice imps with the build specified at that site but 99% of the time at least 2 get inside the aggro bubble and cast Maelstrom to butcher me. Does anyone know if this is now nerfed? Or am I doing something wrong?

yeah i tryed that ice imps one but i got f**ked to. i think they might of fixed it or we dont use long bows :/ heh, try the mino farm one. they have a video. tis good farming, you can also use it for rune ettins.

The Ice Imps I have down to a science. If I die, well one group can get me back to no DP--easily. It's all about staying on flat surfaces with the Imps--the Ice Golems you can survive if you can get them close enough together. Even then, Heal Area + Healing Breeze is enough to keep you alive.

itll be good if it shows ranger with other classes.... about the spike ranger... what class goes good with that? or is it a r/r build only..

I do ice imps farming, it was hard in the start, but then i learn how to stand, and how to control the ice imps....

Great site! I can't wait to get home and try some of those builds.

maybe ur not using a flat bow? says uneeded one and make sure theyget out of ur aggro circle. If 2 come in. Does it matter? if they mael storm, run to the side a lil and avoid it. lol

*EDIT* i cant spell mael storm..i dont think thats how u spell it either xD

"Maelstrom" - If 2 come in your aggro circle, just use Breeze and Area alot. Kill those who cast spells, and then the others after. I aint hard.

he kinda stole my edenial signet idea..although i run some more inspiration skillz too

lol i thought the edenial was very creative for a ranger to handle :O

I think something may have changed today...If I'm elevated or on a flat surface with my long bow I get imps charging into my aggro circle.

I ran the Ice Imps/Golum run a few times. Here are some additional pointers:

1. Use Savage Shot instead of distracting shot. Since the only reason to have an interrupt is to stop Maelstrom, and maelstrom is a spell, Savage shot does +28 damage, which should get rid of that pesky close Ice Imp faster. Also on this run, having a group of 5 or 6 to shoot at is just as common as having a group of 1 or 2, and savage shot can be used to bring those soloers you occasionally face down faster.

2. Flatbow is definitely the bow of choice, though longbow works too. Flatbows have the same range as longbows, but they fire faster and the arrows have a bigger arc and take longer to hit. This is usually a disadvantage, but for this farm run it is an advantage. To draw a mob fire a single shot at the closest baddie then run. With a flatbow, you can be well out of range before the arrow even hits. (The Ascalon Flatbow given by Mag Ironwall outside Port Sledge is perfect, and +15% damage while enchanted -- and you will have two: LV and EB -- is an added bonus)

3. Some of you have had trouble pulling these off, the patroling 6 imps at the beginning are far and away the most difficult to deal with in the whole run as they will definitely rush you as soon as they see you. The only time they will not rush you is if you shoot them clean while they have stopped at the end of the bridge. Once you rid yourself of the patrol, the Ice Golums are a piece of cake.

4. Dont bother going to the left on the frozen river. It is really narrow, and too many obstructions. Besides the 6 groups of Golums, followed by the 3 groups of Imps at the second bridge on the right side path will more than likely fill up your inventory before you get around to going to the left.

5. If the group you are firing at is too spread out for Barrage to be effective, try backing up a few steps (when you are not in tar or mind freeze), the mob should follow you and form a tighter group as they do.

6. Dont sell frozen hearts or stone summit badges for gold. The collector outside Ice Caves will trade you 40g worth of frozen hearts for something worth 125 in trade. The collector in Droknars will give you the same deal for your stone summit badges.

I actually found that it's more worth my time to just skip the patroling imps since they are usually more trouble then they are worth. If they would stay still when you attacked them like the other imps, it would be different.

Oh yea, another thing I found was that a while a fiery bow is best for Golems, a vamp bow will do the best dmg to imps.

The imps and golems drop pretty quick with firey bow sting and it is really easy to make money i made 70k im less then a week and half for 15k armour and materials.

I haven't tried the minotaur run but overall the site is best i've seen for us rangers

Another advantage of distraction over savage is that if maelstrom is distracted, it takes an additional 20 seconds to recharge. Its an either/or choice.

The least needed power in the build is Storm Chaser. It is there not for its run speed, but that it will give you additional energy per hit over EB when your energy gets low. Skipping an occasional barrage shot will do the same thing.

So if you want, drop Storm and take something else, like a big damage dealing arrow for stragglers, or "fun with fire traps", or some other you find fun or useful. (Farming, does not have to be boring.)

Every imp and golem gives you 168XP. While farming enough gold to get my 15K Druid Armor, I also earned 4 skill points.

This could be a good way to PL a new pet actually (like the cool tigers and what not in Factions). Throw Charm Animal in for Storm Chaser, the pet will probably die on the first imp group, but pets gain XP even when they are dead.

I had trouble with the imps at first too, when I started doing this a few weeks ago, but I discovered flat elevation is the best. When you are at a significantly lower elevation, you are forced to run up to them to barrage them. When you are at a significantly higher elevation, they are forced to run up to you to wand you and thus enter your aggro circle.
