Been a while so bear with me.. Best would be w/me with

attack skill/attack skill/elite attack skill/Watch Yourself/Dolyak Sig/Ele Resis/Heal Sig/Sprint

Sprint to get to the area, dolyak does not need to be very high due to ele resistance, heal sig at around 110-120, rest in weapon attrib

Don't take on too many at once and you'll be fine

I think there was a video about farming them but search is a wee bit down so..

wow thanks I've been looking for that link . But is'n't taking an elite attack as elite a bit of a waste for elite slot?? I used defy pain before and it worked pretty good (+20 armor bonus)

I followed the guidelines for running from that movie and I made it with only sprint so Im going to test ViM now (don't need charge)

I got killed by a ice golem that was in the middle of the imps and casted rust also there was an avarica elemetalist boss that slowed me and killed me.

The reason for Sprint + Charge is shortening your running time. After all your farming so time is money. Always kill the Golem or Troll that`s with the Imps first. Don`t Heal when Rust is on or when Troll uses Distupting Chop. When the Elem bosses slows you, Dolyak and spam Heal till his hex wear off then run again.

also they dont stack like 25%+25%=50%, but something in the lines of 25% +25%x25%= ~31%

ok thnx I think I'm getting the hang of it and I think I'll just chain charge then (+25% or +31% doesnt really matter to me)
