W/X FoW Spider Farmer

First ok all, Resilient Weapon is sweet!


second, I'm troubled by the fact I dont have a stance to give me -2 damage reduction.
the skills that comes to mind are the only 3 non-elite warrior stances that could be maintaind: frenzy, flurry, and rush.

with resilient weapon taking 10 energy every 16 seconds, it leaves you with (16*2/3)-10 = 0.666666667 = no energy at all (and that's for every 16 seconds).

zealous mod costs 1 energy every 3 seconds, and under frenzy or flurry gives 4.5 energy every 4 seconds. this ends in an extra (4.5 / 5) - (1 / 3) = 0.566 energy per second, which is not enough to maintain flurry, but can be enough to maintain frenzy.

with frenzy, it might be best to use watch yourself! too.

I would rather keep my sword as it is and use rush, which might allow me to drop watchyourself. healing sig could really be replaced with Generous was Tsungrai if you are not tight on energy.

anyway, my next run would be with
Sprint
Generous was Tsungrai
Rush
Resilient Weapon
and the four slashed: dragon, standing, silverwing, galrath.

this will also allow me to drop tactics and pump up strength. might also get my old vamp sword out of storage.

(note that I'm using a vs piercing shield. might take a bit more damage without it. might even consider keeping watch yourself).

Anyway, way to go Mathijn. a cool new twist to the build, might not be faster, but could sure help lots of starters to catch it up with an easier build to work out :]

here it is:

Knights armor beside a +1 swordsmanship help.
furious 15^50 sword of shelter.
strength based shield of +9 vs piercings -2 in stance.
silverwing/galrath/standing/dragon slash.
Resilient weapon. (16 seconds)
Rush. (17 seconds)
Generous was Tsungrai.
sprint.

strength = 8+3 = 11.
swordsmanship = 11 + 1 + 3 = 15.
restoration = 11. (the breakpoint for +5 health regen).
(superior runes were put on just before the entrance to the cave).

The way was easy. driftwood apply enough cripling to heal by resilient, and rush helps with the damage reduction. with resilient, life siphon actualy heals, and with transpher added, the degen is just 5. before running into the skales I cast generous and resilient, and after breaking, droped it.

with resilient and rush spiders deal 2-3 damage, so at the entrance the 1 health regeneration is not enough. resilient takes all energy regen, so I was left with 10 spare energy after casting it. after casing generous twice, and killing most of the spiders, I had to run back an regen (both health and energy). from there on it was a breeze. a pack of dryder and 6 spiders is no trouble at all, and the shadow beasts on the other side can be just hit to death, with 5 health regen which almost outheal spiteful spirit.

for someone without a shield or less confidence, I would recomment adding watch yourself and healing sig, and removing rush.

nice foo, thanks for the advise,
i use a zealous sword with flurry, seems 2 be enough 2 keep up resilient weapon

now working on a way 2 perfection =D

check out the sell forum for a strength based shield with +vs piercing and -2 damage reduction in stance. it should cost something between 30 and 70, depending on the skin and numbers. another thing to do to let the big rare shields traders know you are after one. that's how I got most of my shields.

uhm, idd, a -2+ 10vs peircing is perfect.

foo, do you have a name for me?(perfect shield traders?)

pm me ig and I'll give you one or two.

thanks for the info, foo. and llednar, i cant seem to get an avatar, and i cant find any forum help on how to get one.

Is Generous was Tsungrai really nessesary? I mean your avoiding the degen and still have healing signet on top of it, It might be better to take Standing slash or Galrath slash instead.

Did anyone even listen to my idea of using Whirling Axe, thanks to its 2 adrenaline charge you can get it off twice as fast as they cast Wastrels, and there is no way it can be blocked

It would be pretty cool if I could combine that with the Resilent Weapon, or Weapon of Warding
