Solo Ele Troll Farming Build (E/Me)

I came up with a build for Ele solo Troll farming at Drok’s!

Name: (still to come)

Profession: E/Me

Type: PvE

Category: Tank/Farm

Skills:

1. Glyph of Concentration (No Atrib)
2. Mystic Form (Water Magic Elite)
3. Arcane Echo (No Atrib)
4. Channeling (Inspiration Magic)
5. Flame Burst (Fire Magic)
6. Phoenix (Fire Magic)
7. Meteor Shower (Fire Magic)
8. Armor of Mist/Other (Water Magic)

Attributes:

Fire Magic 16
Water Magic 11
Energy Storage 9 (or less)
Inspiration Magic 7 (or less)

Equipment:

A 20/20 Fire staff + 18->20% enchantments would be gr8
I personally use the collector’s staff at Iron Mines with a ench+19% wrapping (You need 5 Frigid hearts)

Summary:

You make your way to the “cave” cast Echo get the trolls in a big bunch then cast Mystic Form followed by Channeling and try to keep them up at all times. As soon as you have both enchantments on you use the Glyph of Concentration follower by Meteor Shower, then another Glyph followed by Phoenix, and spam Flame Burst.

This will take the trolls down in 40-60 sec. probably the fastest way ever

Notes:

You need to keep Mystic Form up at all times, so if you think u don’t have time to cast the Shower just use flame burst then the 2nd Mystic Form(Echo), then you can cast the Shower. Try to use the Glyph before every spell, especially before the Enchantments.

Armor of Mist is for getting to the cave easily and if you screw up in there, you can just cast it and run. Inferno could be used instead of Armor of Mist to make more damage.

Unlike the Earth Farming build, you won’t get interrupted, you have absolutely no problem with energy, and you don’t have to worry about your health at any time.

This is also a gr8 build for power leveling, because it takes no time at all.

Credits: Me I guess, and all the fans of Mystic Form

It should be Mist Form......
Your build is good, and is even faster than using warrior

Yeah it works really quite well, i use something very similar.

Not really anything new though, quite a few builds already in the forum very much like this one

Can anyone point me to where the caves are? A map would be great.

Finding the trolls: Just go out the north entrance to Droks -- Talus Chute -- and hug the cliff on your left.

The build: I'm lazy, and go with Ether Renewal/Earth because it works everywhere. But yeah, it takes a little longer to kill the trolls and, what's more, in some spawns I have a tediously long fight with Avicara before I get there.

It IS possible for the trolls to interrupt Glyph of Concentration, of course.

And you'd better kill them before the third Mist Form runs out ...

Would Mantra of Resolve chew up more energy than you can spare?

Probably.

Could you post video of this?

Because i'm kinda prejudiced and I want to see this build in action before saying anything

I use this for trolls and other mele mobs now...just remember to space out the attack skills a little bit. Also use a Shield with a -2 DMG Enchant of course and whatever wep with a +5 NRG and a 18-20% enchant mod on it. It goes by pretty quick.

16 earth
13 energy

Balthazars Spirit - or Channeling (Whatever profession you prefer)
Kinetic Armor
Armor of Earth
Aura of Restoration
Sliver Armor
Crystal Wave
Tenai's Crystal
Aftershock

my 55 ele build:

Flame burst
inferno or Fire Ball
Fire attunment
heal breese'
prot sirit
mending
aura of restairation
balthazar spirit

when fighting some dumb melee mobs (like minotaurs) i use fire ball cuz it recharges faster, when fighting Tralls i use inferno. exept fire attunment there all 1/4-1/2 second to cast so its rare that i get interrupted. inferno takes 20 secs to recharge, but flame burst takes only 7 secs. with fire attunment, after casting either of those im not empty so i can cast heal breese or prot spirit right away.
sometimes i replace inferno by Spel breaker if needed

I also run a very similar build for Droks trolls and it works great! I bring mantra of resolve instead of glyph.

alls i have to say is, ralllllllllly nice build!

*edit*

also works very well with minotaurs at elona reach =D

Quote:

I'm talking about the original build here, btw. I found inferno to be more efficent than phoenix because of the faster cast time, lower energy consumption, and slightly quicker recharge. It doesnt deal as much damage as phoenix can, I guess, but it's better here. Also, how do you get around the avicara when you're trying to reach the cave? Mist Form doesnt protect me against arrows

Other than that, great build!

OP: Good farming build.

I found that it was easier for me to use Mantra of Resolve over the Glyph of Concentration too as mentioned above. I also dropped the Armor of Mist for Inferno for the same reasons the poster right above me did. I've also been thinking of replacing Phoenix with Fire Attunement for when I have to fight small (3 or less) groups of Trolls since the energy management of Channeling in those cases just doesn't seem to hack it.

I do have a question though. Are the trolls in the "cave" the only ones to be farmed? Does anyone take in the named Trolls that live in there (I've tried a few times for kicks without any luck) or are people just killing the Trolls in the big cave and going back to Droknar's afterward?

The mistform build has been around for a long time, I used it last year in august to farm skillpoints on my ele. It used to be a lot faster before the november AI update
