100k an hour? Thats pretty amazing. Are people still buying the emblems even though its not wintersday anymore?

I'm having a little trouble understanding the timing.

You cast Meteor Shower.
The you hit Bed of Coals.
Then you hit Lava Font.
Then you hit a snare (Whirlwind).

Isn't that a little bit late to be snaring them? And is Whirlwind even a snare at that point, or are they running away?

Or do I have the order wrong?

Thanks!

Awesome, that works beautifly, as long as I get the timing right(they stand up from a MS, take 1 step to try to run, get hit with whirlwind and inferno finishes them).........tried it on mino's.....the main problem I have is its hard to get them all on you at once. And even if I do, they seem to run sooner than the trolls, and I dont kill them all, theres usually about 3-4 left(mostly the ones that came in the latest). Any tips, or mods to the build you posted that could help with mino's?

Stone Summit Badges and singed gargoyle skulls = 1 cane each last year if I recall correctly, but I don't think I could sell many of either for 240-300 gold a piece.

Besides, I doubt canes will stay at 1K each if they're available again this year.

I think the proof of how little I care about gold (or designer armor) is that most of my 400 cane stash remains in inventory ... Even as I farm. Odd paradox.

Its like a PvE Promise nuker. very nice. (without the promise) When farming trolls there are usually 2 groups, the main in the middle courtyard and then the rest around a boss to the left and right. Do you wait for MS to recharge and go there too? or just zone and redue?

Zone + repeat. The boss won't die so easily, so the other groups are just 3 more trolls each... not worth waiting 60 + 30 seconds for MS to recharge.

I've been trying a variant on this idea, but it's not working for me at all ... but then, I didn't have the best of reflexes when I was a lot younger, and by that I mean when I played Space Invaders at a stand-up arcade console in a dormitory ...

Practice is definitely called for.

What's your variant? And if you want, I can come with you for a run to see if I can add any advice

New and improved... drop out Whirlwind and use Frozen Burst.
More damage, and it holds them better, since half the time I use Whirlwind they're either already pinned from Meteor Shower or not attacking.


And for mwpeck and any other people who don't have Factions, this build works just fine:
Glyph of Sacrifice, Meteor Shower, Mark of Rodgort, Lava Font, Frozen Burst, Flame Burst, Armor of Mist, Mist Form

Any questions or if you want to see it in action, PM me here or in-game... I'll get back to you ASAP.
Btw dont feel no pain, sorry for hijacking your thread

The only thing is its got a pretty high energy usage.

The biggest pain is when those damn birds get in the way when you're trying to get to the cave.

That's exactly what Armor of Mist is for Use it if there's anything in the way while you're getting to the cave. Don't bother with it when you're fighting, Mist Form does all the work there, but GETTING there it's perfect.

Ugh.... such a good build, but such crappy routes. Trolls don't drop anything good anymore. I got a gold sheild but it was awful. I'm sure there's a better place to use this...

metoer

hmmmm arcane echo metoer shower..... brb lol Hmmm, Brambles and EoE would add do it, but I think the casting time slows down the run overall and I wouldn't want to replace any of the skills on my bar with them. Same with Arc Echo. Meteor and Phoenix have longer cast times, wouldn't want to try them mid-fight. As it is, I think we have this as fast as it gets, at least for trolls. Speed boost, fast skill chain with fast cast spells with big damage. Very fast farm run, GG trolls... We need to find some new spots, and then we can find the best adaptation for that spot

woot i tried these build(s) against trolls and minos, and its so much fun!!! i agree adding frozen burst is a good idea. the toughest part about teh troll run is making sure the birds dont eat you.

now i've killed trolls with monk, war and ele, but only the ele one still works.
