no streangth when farming?
The Pirate
i have been looking at posts of W/Mo builds for farming and i have noticed that most do not use streangth why is this i mena doesnt streangth give you some Deffence?
Hodor
Unless your using a Strength based skill, all it does is give 1% armour penetration per Strength point. Not using sword to kill while farming much and using no Strength skill, no point for it.
The Pirate
so streangth has nothing to do on how much damage you do??
Knido
itll add some damage if your using cyclone axe or hudred blades, but thats about it
The Pirate
oh so theres no need for it?
lord_shar
I use strength = 7 just for an 11-second sprint... comes in handy when you want to isolate griffons and minotaurs from those annoying rockshots.
The Pirate
oh thats rite i knew i was using streangth i use sprint, thanx
Knido
0 strength and 8 seconds is good nough for me :P
The Pirate
true, i mean how long do creatures chase you?
Knido
well pretty much right after you hit sprint, the devourers get off you and in like 2 more seconds the minos are gone, so you dont need it for more than 5 seconds really
The Pirate
oh ok so no need for streanght at all?
Knido
nope, just go 11 axe, 10 healing, 10 tactics and your good to go

Again, there is a different build for each situation and based on your preferences.
It depends on what you're farming...Dolyak Signet can be very valuable at a high strength in farming certain things. Some people like smiting to speed up the process. Some like healing for damage prevention.
It all depends on what you want...that's what is great about this game...there is no one right answer.

yea, well my warrior didnt get that far and im using gladiators defense (which i think pwns any smiting skill) and didnt unlock dolyak yet, so the attributes i just mentioned just refer to my specific build

Perhaps you just don't want to invest the time it takes? Took me a few hours....

I have known forever that I needed sprint in my build when farming griffons, but i cant seem to find the skill to drop for it. I use all my skills in almost every fight.
I might need some help with it. If you want, contact me ingame so i can tell you my build and then maybe come up with a solution.

Pirate,
If you plan on farming griffons with a w/mo, you should go with smiting , healing and tactics. There is absolutely no need for strength nor axe mastery.
Use smiting skills to do the majority of your damage, its much quicker (=more runs = more gold).

The Pirate

Run from devourers? Ugh, I hate em but I don't run from anything in the desert except those damnable jade scarabs. Even devourers drop gold items and money. I'm happy though, two of the most important skills I use in the desert are mentioned here. Good to know other people are figuring it out. I love reading this forum, can't wait till someone else figures it all out. Here are my trophies from the past week:
I do so love the desert.

all i can say is wow....like wat are those kits? sal and id in one?!?! and ur items i have never seen anything like tham there awsome
Knido
judging from your skills there doom, it seems you do alot more running than you think :P
Ghost.
it's good to have strength it adds dmg, the monster you fight against are most likely melee monsters and usually have more defense then caster foes, so you deal more dmg, but you don't really want pump up your strength you just put whatever is left into it
