Mo/Me 'cheapo' Griffon farming build

the build i have been using recently for farming griffons:

11 heal (9+2)
13 smite (12+1)
8 prot (7+1)
8 divine favor (6+1+1)

the skills i use are:

Physical Resistance
Shielding hands
Balthazars Aura
Balthazars Spirit
Healing Breeze
Symbol of Wrath
Mending
Mark of Protection

i have 460hp.

put spirit and mending on first.
the way i use this build is to pick up 3 groups of minos/griffs (can do 4 but is risky).
when you stop to fight you quickly hit resistance then hands then breeze then Aura then symbol.
when you see hands nearing its end you hit Mark.
as soon as aura is recharged hit it again then quickly hit breeze (as the mark will be ending now).
the surrounding enemies should be die as hands is recharged.
note: always have resistance on. always

this build is very touchy. if any of the spells get interupted then you will likely die.
the mark needs to be timed carefully as you may die either before you cast it or before balth recharges at the end of marks duration.

this build is by no means as effective as the 8hp build or the 55hp build but it doesn't require any superior runes.

it took a lot of tweaking to get it right. it now works as best i think it can. you need to be on the ball when you use this or you may die when the griffons that hang back during the melee decide to join (when you kill the rest).

feedback is appreciated.

hmm I think that ones way too risky, because most ppl wont be able to use it. As if you get wrong with the recharge times, your RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed. Good idea to do it with high health, but not really worth it

welll <RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO> ment to say that if you dont coordinate well, with the high recharge and cast rates, your RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed.

well ... o.O ... dont worry

well the thing is this:

i have made around 35k this weekend using this build, on and off. i would have only just made up for the price of superior runes by now.

the runes on my armor are simply my healer runes. this build can be used by any Mo/Me. no special equipment. one elite that is fairly easy to get.

i use a +10% enchantment length staff. this may be the difference between life and death. one extra second on balths, breeze, hands and mark probably keeps me alive.

tis a tough build to use (i don't notice it, i've never used a 55 build or 8 build or any of those types), i had been using it outside of icetooth for weeks (very easy area). i then decided to attempt the minos in Elona Reach. another week there. then the griffons were easy. just practice is suppose...

well you can get it up to +3seconds by one monk enchantement, would be worth a try

yey I have the same problem with my builds, 8 is just too few, but it makes what life is. You have to take decisions.

But it coud be nice to add something for pvp, perhaps a special pvp mod where you can use 12skills or something. Woud be cool.

I woud have lods of space to fill up with nasty spells xD

ummm...

not to be rude or anything but you have posted one messload of short posts. do you know how to edit/delete your posts? i'm fairly sure there is a forum rule about not spammin like that...

anyone else with any thoughts on this build? (i'm beginning to think my title is scaring people off...)

I would think distortion would be a skill used. But the problem is that I don't know if you have the energy for it to be constantly spammed + the -1 energy loss each time you evade an attack...

I like it. Obviously, the monks skills that you use are a probably what a lot of people use. I like the mes skill you put in there, can help a lot. You said something about getting distracted, you mean the devourer's? Run like hell. The reason why I bring mending is to keep me alive while I run away from the devourers while aggroing as many groups as I can.

No Channeling?

channeling coud be a good thing, you would just need something to spamm ...

and sry for the doublepost then, didnt no you can edit posts by yourself ...

because in lods of forums its not allowed

this build has no real problems with energy. the mending is indeed to allow me to run past the rockshots but once griffons are chasing me i have to stop fairly fast otherwise they do too much dmg.
i can take the warrior boss. not the monk boss.
this build kills all surrounding griffons when shielding hands recharged. basically on that second, or near enough.

funny that in game i told u channeling would be good ^^

you could take 8+1 heal, since heal breeze caps at 9 heal prayers and 12, while you got 11 now

pump the remains into something else

I've seen it used many times, and I feel stupid asking, but can somebody please tell me what WHAT ENGINE GORED means? I'm clueless

umm with the mesmer part since it only usues
Physical Resistance why not just forget the mesmer part get 2nd pro ele and wap out a nice peice of armor of the earth since that will be higher and mabye throw in a ward agaisnt meelee i think that would improve it

physical has longer duration with no attribute spent, and an 40armor all the way. and can be recasted with no down time. 1 slot only
