Anyone got any tips on farming the mountain trolls? I keep dieing with this build (11-12 trolls around me)
dont feel no pain
hmmm well its never given me any problems... O_O
tips
1.keep everything up
2. if you want to be safe take 15 strength so doylak sigit is forever
3. defy for gladiators defence
4.swap deadly riposte for watchyourself
should own twice as much sa you said.

I simply switched for glad's defense and everything worked out pretty good. Troll farming sucks tho you only get about 1k per run unless ur lucky
dont feel no pain
yeah , its more of a power leveling spot

Nice. You made a Sword-Version of the common Axe farming build. Very nice indeed. I'll play test it later tonight and see if it works out.

I find this build much for profitable than griffon farming, sure griffons drop more gold and purple stuff, but its not that likely you'll get a 10k+ weapon from them, and the rockshots piss me off to the max. Hydras are great 'cause they drop tons of money and useless items that go for 50g each ^_^. All in all, this a great build and I'd like to thank don't feel no pain.

I tried your hydra farming build severals days ago... that's great, that's fun, thanks !

Hmm..
Well, I finally decided to get to serious work with this build. Bought runes, got the collectors shield with +45 Health an -2 Damage while in a stance, and fiddled.
Total ownage
I've swapped out Vigorous Spirit for Sprint, as I have started using this build for Wurm and Griffin farming as well. Sprint is useful for getting away from the Sand Elementals, Sand Drakes, and Enchanteds (also the occasional pack of 4 wurms).
It requires a bit of timing, but when used right this Hydra farming build can wipe out quite a bit of the Desert enemies... I only run from the Enchanteds because the Enchanted Bows tend to mess me up and I die...

yeah its a pretty universal build i got to say , thats why i like it , just a little change here and there and you can amke it work almost anywhere , even farmed high lvl stone summits with it.

I love this build...it gives me a fun break from my 55 monk. I recorded some videos but google video owned the quality...I'll upload elsewhere I guess.

Great build! Playing with the hydras is fun. Just need to bring myself to actually getting out there to farm. lol
Lando Griffen
I finally got bored and decided to give this build a try. It seems to work pretty well, keep up the good work

Not anything amazing, but this is a nice build.
It works great, real easy too.
If you don't see the image transparent then you need to get firefox
Quick question: able to use with axes? I mean like you know... no riposte but axe skill instead? I would use my brain but I'm no axe user.
Lando Griffen
hmm...with an axe build you could probably go /r and use the same defensive skills and use troll unguent and apply poison. seemed to work ok with wurms, probably not as fun though.

By the way, what are you guys doing with the claws, just selling them at the merchant or is there something better to do with it ?
Niosisw
I've seen a few people wanting to buy them from me for the collector....
Not much profit though, and those people are hard to find. The collector's stuff isn't that amazing.

Not sure taking on Hydra's should be considered a feat... my Me/E can take on at least 8 of them and survive easily.

I just sell the claws... More money to put in the bank. ^_^
dont feel no pain
i like to collect claws hehehe
krytas
I just sell em, nor do I wait till its in the 100s, after one run I sell the useless items ^_^. Except the rares though..but i'm still crying over the fact a gold FDS dropped...15-21 =[.
heppy
so where is the best place to go to find Azure Shadows that can be reached easily?
Reckless Abandon
This is a nice build, but somehow I still love my 55.....
Heres one of me taking a few.
Nothing great has dropped so far except this axe....
I'm not sure if you can see it any good....
But hey, it's fun.
As for the claws, I just like to keep them all, kind of bragging rights I guess.....
I know one girl that has one whole character filled with stacks of 250.... I have respect for her just because of that....

cuevas
wow i love this build for hydras...in my first 2 runs i got like 3k w/ drops and all
kanuks
I use :
Flurry
Deadly riposte
riposte
watch yourself
defy pain
dolyak signet
healing sig
sprint (Only to make the run faster, it really accelerates it)
I use a zealous modded weapon with 15% damage into stances and the collector stance shield, the key is to flurry so u score a lot of hits and have both watch yourself and defy pain constantly in use. With dolyak signet on top of that, u barely need to heal so u score more hits and its easier to run the combo. I use 5 superior runes including sup swordsmanship, tactics and strenght. With flurry on, i have 350 health thanks to the shield and its easily enough since u take barely no damage and the +life granted by defy pain makes it real easy to survive. Tanking 8 hydras is really easy for me. Oh and i use platemail armor with ascalon helm which i think is better than glads in because hydras makes elemental damage. I put 16 into tactics so it kills the hydras very quickly, i think 12 in strenght and the res into swordsmanship, and healin sig gives you a lot of life which means less healing required.
I suggest to salvage all the scrolls since they almost always gives 4 or 5 rolls of parchments.

I think there is a group of them at the south entrance to Camp Rankor...Except there's a boss there, so be careful.

Nice and easy build, great stuff. I find it easiest when you can get about 6 in the one go...perfect for just spamming skills to your heart's content.
Teh Diablo
Nice build, my first run the most I could take down was like 3, lol. My best it 6 so far. This build works very well with Desert Griffons, I take 5 on and my health barely even goes down.
Good job & Thanks!

Very nice.
I used Endure Pain instead of Defy Pain because I couldn't be bothered to go out an cap Defy Pain (well, not at the moment, just wanted to test build
.
Works like a charm!

This build is really awesome, before this hydra farm build i used W/E with Armor of Earth, Obsidian Flesh combination, but this is much faster build
My record taking hydras is now 8-10. I dont even want try over 10, since 8 is bit hard, as health goes by 200.
Really nice work, dont feel no pain.

After doing multiple Oro tanking trips, I decided to come back to my old pastime of Hydra farming(I use a slightly different W/Mes build), and the first group of 6 I took on dropped 3 golds including a Max Gold Flamberge
(my favorite skin mode[turned out to be a 13%stance/1-1 zealous).
My build is something like :
* Defy Pain
* Doylak
* Riposte
* Deadly Riposte
* Ele Resistance
* "Watch Yourself!"
* Healing Signet
* Sever Artery(variable)
I just spam Sever and Ripostes/Defy. Works realy well, and Ele Resistance pretty much completely negates all of their damage.
My axe build just switches in Exc. Strike/Pen. Blow/Dismember
My best group was 9, but I could have probably held 10 if I could have lived through the pulling.

Good build, its nice to see someone try something different then W/Me for tanking hydras and such.
