Perfect for farming undead heavy missions. Holy damage does 200% to undead. D'alessio Seaboard is perfect for this build, and can be farmed quite quickly. All of these skills can be purchased in towns as well, so this character is relatively easy to create.

To use this character you simply keep mending on you at all times, run up to minions to be melee, then start casting channeling, then either symbol of wrath, Shield of Judgement or bathlazars aura. Followed by banish. Purge Conditions and Smite hex are situational and very effective.

The trick to running d'alessio seaboard effectively is use the farmers and white mantle as beacons. It is ideal to cast either shield of judgement or bathlazars aura on them and sit and watch the undead minions and zombies die. You could even go as far as casting mending on them to keep them alive through the beating. I am able to run the mission in 10minutes (I stop after I kill the last boss in defending the abbot), and usually get 4yellow drops, some salvagables sometimes 1blue(from a lucky barrel) and a dye or two.

I wonder if they fixed riverside. Healing hands and mending was enough to keep my warrior alive while i was leading my army of undead. And riverside gives out alot better items than the seaboard. Luckily this time I'm giving a friend a friends pass under the condition he comes with me farming to riverside for the some purpose of being my mule.

riverside is really the best to farm, but is more time consuming and there is more strategy involved. For those players that are still learning the ins and outs of the game, or dont want to think as hard, this is a very easy way to get drops you can use.

You can pull off this same combo on Riverside with healinghands and retribution along with mending and channeling, and AOE

There really are many ways for farming. The best way to farm though is to find a good build that is suitable for farming for gold, as well as farming higher level(Riverside Zealots).

Farming is when you kill monsters over and over and over to get gold, materials, dyes, and hopefully some rare or unique items. The idea with farming is to balance the amount of time it takes for you to kill monsters with the amount of goodies you can get from them. You don’t want to spend a lot of time killing monsters and then have the monsters drop very little.

Just like you ‘farm’ land to get crops… you ‘farm’ monsters to get items and gold.

Ps. I like Mr. Fluffy... Hmm he looks even better italicised
