i use that place to test my farming buidls :P

its a pretty good build but retebution dosen't seem to do that much dmg, and it is taking up 1 nrg regain and tbh mending would work alot better then it even thou it looks like you don't need any healing

also have you tried it with SoJ?

PS wot the hell is with the end of it???

The second poster doesnt realize you are linking to a website - that inturn has a download link (instead of just giving us that link).

Interesting build but the update didn't really do to much to the warrior farming builds i've seen, you just drop all AOE spells and chuck on gladiators defence or shield of judgement, and leave all the rest the same and you barely ever take damage and if you max out your tactics they get hit for 29 everytime they are blocked with glad's defence.

Nice video, but 4min to kill a few minotaurs is not exactly thrilling.

atm

the video is during 4min to let u hear the entire soundtrack...
killing minotaurs is taking about 2min, 2min30.. not 4min.

yes, this is slow... but farming is still possible.
and yes it was really faster when using Balthazar's aura & Symbol of wrath.. but since devs made mobs running on these, i had to found another way to farm, slower indeed, but still possible.

Lol, I when I saw the link in your post it looked familiar.
As soon as I clicked on it and saw the page that opened up I realized that its the same one I saw in the Guild hall forums.

Yeah, use SoJ much better and u do not need all those healing skills. Retribution does not do much damage, you can add holy strike and that way u can smite touch a mino to death

slow and ineffective. to farm just use mo/me, mo/n, n/mo. these are by far the fastest farming methods. Since the AoE patch, I solo grifs with mo/n and n/mo, around 4 mins a full run including both bosses. For solo UW I run mo/n, or n/mo also, 15 min full runs including smites. too easy. for 2 man runs though i would suggest a mo/me and a ne/me. very fast, full smite run including all coldfires just for the fun of it in around 18 minutes. Too easy.

i dont see why youd put more points than youd have to in to a secoundary class...

i seem to operate fine with glads defense and high tact and the patch does nothing to me

I guess it's pretty obvious but I'll say it anyway: killing only with Gladiator's Defense or SoJ (+Cyclone Axe), is incredibly slow. Yes it works, and yes it's safer than old farming builds, but the gold/time ratio is simply so horrible it's a poor way to make money.

The video didn't work for me.

But I would like to hear more about this technique, I am running out of farming techniques myself.

LoL, lots of farming builds still work.

heres an exemple of something else. (Bonetti plays wonders in energy management.) in sort this build is not the only i use, just mainly got bored of most other builds and tryed something new one day. Anyhow, it takes about 2 minutes to kill all the mobs overall 1 minute of running and 1 for picking up loot Make it 6 or 7 minutes total since i often chat while farming and sometimes i just stand motionless for a bit. but should be 4 or 5 min a run when done with no interuptions. The point of this build is that earth defences keep you alive and if you notice in one of the screen shots i only take 3 to 6 dmg from mobs. and you deal out large instant earth dmg (or sometimes fire, as i put inferno in there just for kicks and laugh) and do constent dmg with gladiators defence. anyways, you all get the point, it does the job.

I havent tryed this on hydras yet, Although i have farmed hydras with other builds and i think all i would need to grab is balenced stance and obsidian flesh. and just deal out dmg with the offencive spells (the only thing is it might be slower without gladiators defence and obsidian flesh instead) against the desert hydras, gladiator should be fine, i only used to use dolyak signet in the past and that was fine. But against Magho hydras (the ones by Amber light camp) Obsidian Flesh would be a must. then you can absorb all the meteor shower dmg (like i said above, i havent tested the hydras with this build yet, but i did test obsidian flesh + armor of earth vs. meteor shower and etc.... and it worked wonders)
