The ice breaker solo?

Gladiator's defence{E}
Ripost
Deadly Ripost
Sever Artery
Galrath's Slash
Sprint
Healing Signet
Mending? *shrug* perhaps another attack skill so the grawl won't poison you. The poison isn't much of a big deal however, and you can slap bleeding on them right after they give you poison.
Leave from droknar's forge, run to the first group of grawl (should be a boss in this group, they will be in an ice field area). Just shoot the first group with a longbow to pull them, then start running back. What you want to do is have just the barbed ones around so you can kill them first, keep pulling the main group back until everyone but them run away. Then, back up slowly. When the barbed guys need to recast barbs/life siphon they will run in casting range. What you do is back up so that they get far enough away from the group of melee folks that you can kill them. Then grab the main group. If it has a ranger boss you can use a jutout on the left side of the path down to block his arrows while you kill the regular grawl. If it was the ele or necro boss, he should have come with the barbed grawl earlier.
A run shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes, since you can only kill the first few groups of mobs. I am sure that a much more efficient build will be up for ya soon, but this is what I threw together quickly to be able to solo em.

Actually you can farm the Mighty Grawl, just the Mighty Grawl with any standard W/Mo build that use to work with the desert griffin farming. I used a W/Mo with
cyclone axe
dismember
bonetti's defense
dolyak signet
sprint
live vicariously
mending
healing hands
With a zealous axe.
You sprint there from Drok's and the trick becomes to not go within melee range with any of the grawl necros. They're only enchant removal is chillbanes and they only use it when they're next to you. Since their ranged mobs, thats easily avoided. Barring a bad boss spawn, I've taken out all of the Mighty Grawls in one run (not to mention having two ice breakers drop
).

I just got my Ice breaker solo, I used the good ol Troll build.
W/Mo
whatever axe you want, malinons shield or jacquis aegis/merkis gaze
Healing-10
Strength-12
Tacs-12
rest in axe
Sprint
Dolyaks Signet
Bonetti's Defense
Gladiator's Defense{E}
Cyclone Axe
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
Mending
Its simple to do really, just sprint up the mountain to where they are, pretty much just north till you see Grawl, then east. The only problem you might face with these is if they manage to knock you down and sqeeze belly smash in, even then vigorous spirit heals you whether you hit or not. Dont aggro too many of them at once and youre good to go, all the way to the end of them

Oww my face
I tried ReZons evasion tank (Escape) there... did not work out that well... dunno what I could do to prepare myself... propably was just bad luck on my part that the 2 times I tried it the monk boss was there ;_;
You know if you look closely you can see what weapons the mobs are using so you can sort of tell what they'll drop if they drop? BOTH TIMES THERE WAS A GRAWL WITH THE ICE BREAKER ;_;
I dunno if theres one with an ice breaker always there or what.. it was embaressing to be killed by the weapon you're looking for :/

again will the useless rebutles, look as long as u burn me back ur posts are just as dumb as mine, or are u too stupid to understand that hm?...idiots,
"sometimes words only sounds nice"
and u my friends, are nubs
anyhow to stop this chain of useless posts vs useless posts ill continue adding my 2 cents of help at the end (which none of u nubs have done so far)
what i have realised is that if u want, u can use an axe build (which ive used to farm vermins very easily with)
triple chop
cyclone axe
executetioners strike
vigoris spirit
dolyak sig
heal sig
watch urself
sprint
take a zealous axe (vamp might work) and jsut aggro as many warriors as u can, the more guys around u the easier it is

Hi there!
The vermin farming build will work... but:
The more surround you the easier it gets is NOT true!
As the Grawlwitches not only use chillbains to rip your enchants, they also use barbs when they are out of reach for chillbains. So the more Mighty-Grawl surround you the more damage you have to counter with triple-chop and cyclone.
I just killed the 2 "doorguards" on each side of the area where they are and got lucky :-) Second run one hammer...
BTW (a little offtopic). does anyone know WHERE the Jadebrotherhoods are that drop the fan? Solokilled all in Wajjun Bazaar multiple times (except for monkboss and his group) but no daggers... got Lians Lantern two times though... anyone want to buy?
Cheers Mad Hamish...

i finally got my hammer (using smite hex and holey viel because those barbs kill you very quickly 4-6dmg from the grawl +10 dmg from the hex)
luring the grawls on the bridge at first (no barbed grawls in that groups --> quite easy)
I had about 6 runs and killed a lot of grawls bo no one dropped it. Finally i spotted one wielding the hammer, ran towards him and he dropped it.
So i guess if you see a grawl with the hammer kill him and he will drop it. If he has a normal hammer he will not drop a ice breaker. (but maybe a sup vigor like in one of my runs
)
