I've noticed that a lot of people talk about farming minotaurs. What is so great about them. I solo hydras, and that works great for me.

Farming minotaurs? Well they're dumb, easy to kill, and they used to drop reasonable amounts of gold for the time you put in.

It's fundamentaly satisfying to see 12-16 large opponents all drop dead at the same time. Trolls/Mino's for the psychological win!

400 gold per run. 2 minutes per run.

12k an hour, provided that the anti-farm code doesn't kick in.

Decent gold? More or less.

Actually, only expect to make 10k an hour from this if you must try >_>

Looks kinda like ss on steroids. I see some fiery junk, so I'm guessing a N/E of some sort using some sort of fire AoE nuke. Maybe Feast of corruption, reckless haste, and PBAoE fire nukes?

How can you guys not tell that that is an ele in that screen? Notice the back of the pyromancer armor, the fire around it and the +4 energy. Any sane necromancer on a farm would have more than 4 soul reaping. Also, how do you expect to get off FoC along with a few fire nukes in the amount of time to retain those numbers? Seriously people, think a little. Maybe once you get to using your brain, which some of you may not have, you might think of these things before someone else needs to point them out to you.

Read please, many people said elementalist, and your post was not needed, and was very disrepectful.




For me, just the pure joy of seeing them all fall dead

That's what my bet is on. One of my guildies showed me that build on his ele killing trolls. literally 5 skills...12 dead trolls....30-45 seconds. It was awesome to see.

I got to watch it all cause i died on the way to the troll cave

I know the build; Used it myself on my ele. Works wonders. Kills faster than a 55 Monk or Necro could dream of, if you don't mess it up. ^_^

Elite isn't SF; I'd wager it's Mist Form, unless it's some radically different build. And unless it's a radically different build, there are only ele skills. You can clearly see Lava Font and Inferno going off there.
