After peeking through the search, i have not come across a build for those annoying Avicara.

Im looking for a build to take out the avicara brave, guile, wise and ardent. Most of the birds in Talus Chute and Mineral Springs id like to kill cuz i've grown to hate them.

Any builds for a Necro 55, Tank (war/anything)? Thanks for the help!!

The warrior build for ice imp farming works pretty well. (obviously don't use elemental resistance, physical resistance perhaps?)

can do it with a 55 monk but one of the grawl appears to have enchant removal so you can do it sometimes but others die

hmmm...heres a quote from the original post for this build.

"Be warned! only to fight groups containing Avicara Ardents/wise and guile with this build at your own risk!"

Apparently this is not the answer, but its a start.

I can 55hp iNecro the following Avicara groups:

2 Braves and 3 Fierce (tough, but not impossible)

In this situation I do the following:
1. Insidious Parasite a Fierce
2. Protective Spirit immediately!
3. Spiteful Spirit the nearest Brave that is making a B-line for you.
4. Take some hits...
5. Breeze.

Now you have to keep PS up and remember to reapply IP to a Fierce when it expires. Use Guardian to lower the damage you'll be taking. Keep Breezing as needed. At some point a Fierce will drop and you go onto the next Fierce with IP all the while repeating PS/Breeze/Guardian as needed. If you have the energy then go for SS on whichever Brave has the most HP. After one Brave drops it gets considerably easier.

2 Braves and 1 Wise (take out the wise first and let braves give you energy)
2 Braves and 2 Wise (same as above, but be very careful with energy management. you will be wanding the wise at some point)

Watch out with Wises. They will do Phantom Pain, Fragility and Ineptitude. PS /Breeze is a must. If the Wise isn't attacking then don't bother with IP or SS. Just wand him to death. You can also try and take out a Brave, but energy management is key here. You need to be taking hits to keep your energy up enough to Breeze/PS.

Anything else is pretty tough. I never go after groups with Ardents or Guiles.

Look in the Nerco forums for the iNecro build.

Spiteful Spirit {E}
Insidious Parasite
Guardian
Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze
Mending
Balthazar's Spirit
Essence Bond

P.S. Grawl Crones are easy to deal with. Stay at wand distance and cast IP/SS. If you close into melee range they will strip enchants which is deadly.

I can use my build for trolls with my war to handle 3 fierce and a few braves. I was just hoping that there was a way to own those Wise and guile's.

That post seems very helpful, thanks.

As for Avicara farming, don't be greedy with the Ardent + Guile + 3 Braves groups...you are already farming the entire southern path of Braves and Fierces.

With these five skills, and ten points in healing, you can take on as many Fierce and Brave as you want.

That's Mantra of Resolve, to protect against the Braves' Savage Slashes. And I'm guessing the attribute point setup is:

Smiting: 12
Heal: 9
Prot: 8
FC: 5
Insp: 2

Did I read your mind or what?

That is Mantra of Resolve. Avarre uses it to guard against the Savage Slashes that the Avicara Brave like to use on longer casting spells.

i farmed them with my Mo/W, can take on loads like stooby dose in that pick but the hardest groups are the ones of 5+ Firce, some times they will all fire double shot in close timing.... i see so many noob iMonks when i help ppl cap SoJ go agasit them and die lol.

all u need is SoJ up to slow down the firce and the brave and when its not up use bonettes and wand a brave with vigos spirt, while spamming anything else :P, divine favor rules only reason i live thru most places i farm lol

can also take out some of there other groups by covering PS


EDIT: the secound skill is SoJ :O, it has just been echoed :P.... i prefe to use bleesed aura and Ivor's Smiting Rod, means SoJ sometimes recharges b4 it even finshs gonig

Any 55 can farm any Avicara except the Guiles (since they use enchatn stripping) and the Ardents (can't outdamage their healing). The concept is similar to all 55s, you just need breeze and some sort of evasion stance.

Wises are killable as well, since they only pack Phantom Pain/Fragility IIRC, no interrupts. Due to some aggro bug though, they don't seem to attack until the main pack is dead, which makes killing them much less efficient.

You can still kill the guiles, use your healing breeze to cover your prot spirit and kite around till the guiles start attacking. From then on if you have SoJ up they will attack and cast, causing their spell to be interrupted when their shots hit and are knocked down by SoJ.

However things don't always work as they should, which is why avoiding guiles is the best bet usually as too many things can go wrong.
