Well i was just testing with a build i soloed iron mines of moldune with and i thought that mountain trolls and shit would be for fun so heres the buidl so you poor people cna get sum gold.

strength 11+1+3=14 (helm+superior)
axe is how ever much to meet the req
rest goes in tatics wiht a minor rune

1.Gladiators Defense
2.Cyclone Axe
3.Healing Signet
4.Sprint
5.Shield Stance
6.Watch Yourself!
7.Dolyak Signet
8.Bonnettis Stance

All you do is keep your dodging skills on and use your healing signet.
When you first run into a group use dolyak,glad,cycloen then watch yourslef.
after gladiators runs out use shield stance. When shield stance ends gladiators shoudl be recharged. After glad ends use bonnettis and just repeat. Also if you want you can run ahead and solo all the tundra giants.
This is for the mountain trolls in the ice caves above Droknars Forge. Also works against grawls nicely.

I like to use cyclone axe, penetrating blow, bonetti's, glad's defense, watch yourself, vigorous spirit, live vicariously and sprint, sprint for that first part where the avicaras sometimes spawn (at the mouth of the cave) I can take them on with this but I'd rather head on to the trolls and save myself the trouble. Oh and healing up to 10, axe to 13 (10 + sup rune) and tactics 12 (10 + helm + rune).

Wow, it must take years to kill a mob. Then again, this is Iron Mines and you're lvl 20 so I suppose not...

I'd like to see this work on grawl in south shiverpeaks...

i just tried this build, and it is not accurate. there is no way to heal yourself, except healing signet. i died in seconds.

Ok look the stratagy is too keep your stance's liek shiled stance adn bonnetis on at all times. Keep up watchyourself and dolyak and they only do 2-4 damamage max. Trustme i can solo the hole intere iron mines mission and i can solo the mountian trolls and the tundra giants outside of droks. You just havent learned how to comprehend to keep your stances on. When you got shiled stance and glad's def on you heal yourself to full life and castt dolyak and wathcyourself constantly when you have bonnetis you hold out till its blinking then cast dolyak and watch yourself then you can either cast cyclone if you dont got enough adren or jsut use bonnetis right of the back. Also when you have shield or glads use cyclone constanly then pop bonneits on to recharge your energy. Also if your low use heal sig then cyclone axe to get bonnetis up adn runing again.

were talking about the lvl 24 mountain trolls above drok's forge right? Cuz im pretty sure they use disrupt chop and that gets REALLY annoying when they own your long cast time heal sig....and anything else.

We're also talking about three months ago. I farmed these guys for a little while, they dont drop anything good. Use this build:
W/Mo
Cyclone
Bonettis Defense
Gladiators Defense
Sprint
Live Vicariously
Mending
And whatever else for the last two slots.

Takes 2 cycles of Glads def to kill them all, no matter how many you have on you (I think up to 15-16 spawn)

Just use glads def and cyclone whenever they're charged, and bonetti after every cyclone unless you've got glads def up.

Man trolls are easy

1. cyclone axe
2.Bonestis def
3.glads def
4.Vigorous spirit
5.live vicarouly
6.mending
7.executioner strike
8. endure pain

Ok whith this build you can take up to 12 trolls
Armor: Knights armor (drogs)
weapons: maxed dmg axe, maxed shield

Outside the drogs forge there you have a cave full of trolls

when you just exit drogs forge cast mending wait until you recharge your energy to 20 and cast live vicarously. you only have 15 energy now.

as soon as you engage ther trolls use glads defense followd by vigoros spirit. after use cyclone axe and you will have no more energy since you cas cyclone axe you have charge bonestis that is how you recover energy form.

remember that you will always need to have bonetis or glads on you if not you will die be sure to use vigorous spirit just when glads have been recharge it takes 30 secs for each.

healing: 9
stren:10
tactics: 9
axe: the rest you have left here

its very easy

I use my W/E to solo the trolls, giants, griffons, aviacara and ice golems.

Its much easier to clear the whole of that area in one go so u can maximise gold drops before the anti farm code kicks in. IMO just farming the trolls is pointless.

this is my troll build!!

Cyclone Axe
Gladiator's Defence
Live vicariously
Vigorous Spirit
Healing Breeze
Bonneti's Defence
Balthazar's Spirit
Sprint

11 healing prayers
12 tactics

thats really it, you can add strength, axes, and smite prayers if you want

Sprint to run to the cave, balth's spirit to gain energy from the huge aggro of trolls, live vic+vig spirit for constant +11 health while your constantly in bonneti's which can be recharged by a cyclone axe, and when available, use Glad's Defence

....they will all die within 10 seconds of eachother if you do it right, so cyclone axe never loses it's ability for +health and+adrenaline.

happy farming

Battle Torn's build works excellently here.

Cyclone Axe
Bonettis Defense
Galdiators Defense
Sprint
Healing Breeze
Live Vicariously
Balathzaar's Spirit
Mending


Walk outside, and cast Mending and Balth Spirit. You might be at low energy, but the avicara will fill you up again pretty quick. Once your full, sprint past them into the cave. Run past the big group, and grab the Warrior Boss's group. Lead him back to the main group, hit Glad Defense, Live Vicariously, Cyclone. The cyclone will fill your adrenaline, so hit bonettis. From then on, target the boss, hit Cyclone when it recharges, then Bonettis RIGHT AWAY. The key is to always have a stance up. When Glads recharges, hit it after a Cyclone. Healing Breeze if you need it (You shouldnt). Cyclone when it recharges, but dont go into bonettis until Glads is over. Glads is alot of damage.

A vampiric weapons help with this run. When all the trolls except the Boss are dead, feel free to cancel Balths Spirit, and just hack away.

Once you get used to this, you can take out Healing Breeze and replace it with an extra axe attack to speed up with the boss. Only use it if he is the only one left, or if you are under a Glads Def.




Also, the key to making more money from Trolls is the salvage. They drop Raven Staffs and bows all the time. Salvage them for about 10 wood each. When you got a bunch of wood, go to Sardelac, walk outside and talk to Daved, change the wood into paper, and then sell it in ascalon city. Raises the net profit noticeably.

You had to talk?


Just when troll farming was starting to be worth it?


Why do you people need everything to be nerfed, wanna talk about these things do it IN GAME and let epople spread the word. Anet reads forums, i doubt they read logs looking for Farm builds and etc..

lol simple

w/e

riposte
deadly riposte
gladiator's defense
bonetti's stance
armor of earth
dolyak signet
watch yourself
healing signet

equipment:
Max shield
max armor
SWORD FOR RIPOSTE, any sword

even if they disable your healing signet, you have so much armor you keep taking -0s over and over, the riposte and glad's d takes em out so fast

some skills here might not be needed, but hell, i use this thing to farm perdition rock too, i can even take on 6-7 titans on this thing . . . , but its tricky

^ Agreed, I've been doing it lately.. But I need skill points on my warrior. I won't bother posting my build since there seems to be quite a few that probably work just as well posted already..
