Factions-skills only farmer...

Hello @all!

I've got a question (and yes, i tried the search...):

How the heck can a Factions-only-warrior solo?
I tried to build up a warrior based on factions-only skills that can solo-farm vermins, but it seems I'm getting nowhere…
Bonettis, Live Vicareously, Dolyak-Signet are all Prophecies-only skills (please correct me if I'm wrong...).

It seems the standard farming Wamo is not possible in Factions.
Did someone realize this by now and think out of the box? Could you please share your build with me so my wife can farm with her Factions-Warrior?

I also tried the following set of skills, which gets my throug the first two and the second two groups (I take on two groups at once):

penetrating chop,
cycloneaxe,
Triple Chop {E},
balanced stance,
healing signet,
mending,
balthasars spirit,
healing breeze

With this skillset you may be able to survive those critters in smaller groups, but when you get to the area with Shreader (assa-boss) he'll kill you because of the 3 pip more degen (disease?) and the constant knockdowns from his friends (there are just too many and balanced stance won't last that long and has a really bad recharge time)…

I also tried using ritu secondary, assassin secondary. I think I'm just not able to create something to solo counter degen and heal in the meantime.... perhaps all would be better if I had a vampiric-axe or the "vengful was kanhei"-ritu-elite. Next thing I'll try is a ranger-secondary, but I don't think he can outheal the damage by degen and be energy-efficient.
I don't think mend aliment or purge conditions will be helpful because of the massive amount of monsters spreading poison and bleeding in this area...

Hope to have a solution to this soon…


Any ideas?


Cheers!

EDIT: Just realized that there are two threads on this topic already, which i was not aware of... nevertheless, they do not help either...

how about u try ele secondary?

I think that wouldn't be of use, because it's not the damage (they really just do no damage to a warrior...) that kills me, it's the health-degen. Didn't play the ele much, does he have a counter to knockdown? If he had, I could try to healsig-out the healthdegen, but anyway... I realized factions-skills-only-farming is SLOW and somewhat difficult...

I really need to get my hands on the ritualist elite "vengeful was kanhei"...

Cheers!

Well, Ward of Stability is a k.d counter for earth, but its a little inefficient compared to our friendly old balanced stance.
