55 N/Mo.... Anyone Titan Farm! a lil HELP plz

Okay.. I haven't used my necro in forever.... I want to do some Titan farming with the repeatable quest from glint.... the denravi one.. I have read builds to do it with my Monk and with my Warrior but I don't wanna beat the Fire Island Missions with them... Once with my necro was enough... SO does anyone know a good 55 nec/mo build for Titan farming... I heard interupts become a real problem doing it with a 55 nec.... but I also heard it was faster with SS than SOJ which I definetly believe....and I heard the warrior version is WAY too slow!

Basic 55 N/Mo skills
1 Mending
2 Balthazar's Spirit
3 Essence Bond
4 Protective Spirit
5 Healing Breeze
6 Open
7 Open
8 Spiteful Spirit{e}

Slots 6 and 7 are open... I'de like some suggestions... here is what i thought would be useful!

Guardian - I heard that interupts were a problem.... so this might be useful
Insidious Parasite - I know it helped ALOT with soloing FoW
Desecrate Enchantments - just a good aoe dmg spell


Any Help would be appreciated.... I'm far from new to the game.. but i'm definetly new to titan farming! TY

When i go on those runs i take insidious parasite as one skill, which is just and amazing skill for a 55 necro IMO. And i also bring plague touch which is simply for the rotting titans and wild growths. If you dont want to take these 2 things...you could probably use desecrate or anything else.

I use a geo tank, it's still faster IMO, and a bit safer..how about suffering?

Yea I was thinking IP as a definate also.... so there's 7 skills locked in...
Mending
Balth. Spirit
Essence Bond
Protective Spirit
H-Breeze
Insideous Parasite
Spiteful Spirit

Plague touch might be a nice addition... is there alot of conditions while farming titans? also..bobert.... do u have alot of problems with interupts

personally i use suffering and orison thoguh orison is pretty much filler since i rarely end up eneding it

Ya these quests are unrepeatable. Defend north kryta has the most titans per area. All the tengu, skales, ettins, mergoyles and imps are replaced with titans. Anti-farm seems to kick in after 1 run in this area however. First time I ran it I had an inventory full of rare armors, next run maybe 1 or 2 rare armor drops. Maybe just bad luck, but I have no need for runes since the market plummeted.

Plague touch and IP are good ideas. Another one is don't stand in maelstorms and you'll be fine. Lingering curse is thrown around too so watch for the necro titans. Surviving lingering isnt hard unless you're busy with other titans.

My skill bar features Plague Touch and Insidious Parasite, as used in this pic when I solod Defend Denravi ->

Plague Touch is a must for Wild Growths and Rotting Titans to get poison and disease working for you rather than against you.

Insidious Parasite is a must for tanking 8+ titans at once, or tanking a Rotting Titan in your regular 455hp gear.

I'll go dig my titan tactics out of this forum and repost in this thread or link... they're here somewhere.

Normally farming titans I just bring Vigorous Spirit over IP because of it's low energy cost. But yeah, if you are going to tango with more than 1 or 2 groups, such as what would happen when you are doing the actual DNKP quest, then I doubt VS is going to save your life when you have 8 of those things pounding away on you. I haven't tried soloing that quest yet so I can't really offer any tactics on how to get through it. Sounds like Cirian has that covered.

Ok, here's a post from a while ago about the trickier titans...

Quote: Originally Posted by Cirian Rotting Titans I fought with 455 life and no enchants, and I fought them on their own I learned later I could have Mending up without them hitting me with Lingering Curse (full ench strip) if I kept Plague Touching their Rotting Flesh spell - they get really obsessed with casting Rotting Flesh over and over exhausting their energy. Kill them with IP, wanding, and SS if you have the energy. They spawn a L24 Wild Growth when they die (which itself will spawn 3 L24 Titans when it dies...).

Wild Growths need line of sight to hit you with their attacks, so if you're fighting 1-on-1 you can use terrain to stop them hitting you. Then when you're safe, remove all your enchants to get your 4pips of energy regen and kill them with SS by itself If they have other titans with them though, you might have enough energy just to fight them normally - plague touch the poison back onto them, cast SS and IP, wand them, keep healing breeze up if you need it and they will drop. They spawn 3 L24 Titans when they die (1 earth, wind and water titan)

One last note is on Water Titans - these guys are pretty much my highest priority to kill because of Maelstrom, 10s of aoe spell interrupt. If you see one casting Maelstrom (you will see it summoning a large glittering ice crystal out of the earth), either top up PS and HB just before it finishes its cast, or jog out of the area the instant it casts - you may be snared at the time so be careful! If you have a fresh PS and HB though, you can just use Maelstroms to regen energy The order in which I kill regular (earth/wind/water) titans is quite important.

Water first - maelstrom is too dangerous and you need to keep a good track of these spells in your mind, when they are due to refresh etc, and remember to watch for Water Titans drawing big ice crystals out of the ground... a Maelstrom is coming!

Wind next - they don't feed you much energy, so they're bad to leave last. Left last, you may be down to wanding and prot spirit only... which is slow...

Earth last - these guys are your mana batteries, they're awesome Stone Daggers hits twice and is spammable, which is great for your energy. Just watch out if you get 3+ hitting you at once, because you will need an Insidious Parasite set up to deal with the rapid hits. You can kill some if the rapid hits are too much... just be sure to save one 'till last as a mana battery.

Oh, something about the L24 'child' titans spawned from dying Rotting Titans / Wild Growths... they don't drop loot, just the L28 parent does. They do give exp though.

The better farm spot is Kryta rather than Denravi imo, although Defend Kryta will stop you farming ettins... titans will replace them, but you can abandon the quest in any town to farm ettins again, so it's no problem. Re-get the quest from Glint to farm titans again.

If you want to solo Denravi then here's the boss tactics...

The degen (burning) is triggered when he takes damage, but not damage through degen or lifesteal. He doesn't set you on fire with his attacks, you have to trigger it yourself by inflicting damage - which means it's easy to use it against him by wanding him once and transferring the burning with Plague Touch - I'd be on fire for only a split second at a time, so it was quite safe. I didn't use Spiteful Spirit on him at all because I would have been on fire the whole time - I beat him with Insidious Parasite, Plague Touch and the occasional wand hit. The extra titans in the pics (a wind and earth titan) were there to feed me the energy I needed. LuxA (a Me/Mo) also did this quest solo, and a few people seemed interested in a quest rushing service if any of you feel like starting one (just a bandwidth heads up! ...the link goes to the screenshot forum, showing the final boss battle over a bunch of screens... enjoy ) Have fun out there

Sweet. Thanks for that Cirian. Yeah once I learned how to deal with Maelstrom by watching for the crystal, and then moving a little bit, they got a lot easier. The only difference fighting them than anything else is watching out for Maelstrom.

TY for the input guys

For Damage, I use Rotting Flesh and Descerate Enchantment with Spiteful Spite. It works very well

Magma shields. The rune drops should be good too. That's what I heard.

How are they not repeatable?

I mean most quests are not repeatable in as much as getting the reward over and over again.

You can't just map out/not take the reward? Delete the quest?
