Build talk:D/Mo VoS IDS Farmer

My new farming build :) it works wonders (2 IDS on first full clearout), i tersted it excessiely, now its your turn, PVX, i hope this will be recognized as the new IDS farmer :P. Heavy Yield 17:19, 24 October 2007 (CEST)

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising. I will have to give it a go! - Lord Xivor 15:21, 30 October 2007 (CET)

Variants

Can Farmer's Scythe be substituted for any other scythe skill for people w/o EotN?WatchYoBack 02:25, 30 October 2007 (CET)

Mystic Sweep or Eremite's Attack would work fine, I would think. - Lord Xivor 15:21, 30 October 2007 (CET)

Any spammable attack would work, you can also opt for another enchantment such as vital boon

The build definitely needs another attack, something with 4-6 second recharge. Just two attacks, with one being 10 secs would be very bad. Also, please sign your comments when posting so we know who you are. - Lord Xivor 22:32, 30 October 2007 (CET)

Uh, maybe you don't understand how Farmer's Scythe works? Read the description again.

I am well aware of how Farmer's Scythe works. If you knew how it works, you would also know that when you are only hitting ONE foe, which is quite common in IDS runs, you will end up with a 12sec recharge. - † Lord Xivor † 05:56, 17 November 2007 (CET)

Not really, if you pull them back, they all bunch up.

Comment

'this is similar if not the same to the build ive been using for a while http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TgjWv29wXgM ' great, good for you, but this is really my invented build, and i havent seen this before so your comment isnt well-placed here IMO, also, cracking down the build on effectivveness etc is NOT fair if it works wonders, because it is similiar to an unknown build!

Played around with it last night - reaching the cave is quite simple, especially if you have been rushing using VoS before. However, you usually encounter at least one Mountain Troll before/in the cave, and so far they have proven to be deadly to the build, even if it takes some time. Any ideas on how to mitigate that ? Hoschi 17:52, 31 October 2007 (CET)

Its very simple, you aggro, run to a wall (to prevent attacks from imps), attack the wiht all you got, and run away if you cant get them hurt enough so that victorious sweep heals you. If you keep VOS up, you can hit'n' run until the side-effects trigger, its quite tricky to do at first, but i haven't been killed by a troll before Heavy Yield 18:39, 31 October 2007 (CET)

Thx for this. I should have read before i tried to do this farm and died at hands of troll. lol.Apu of Kwik E 15:44, 17 November 2007 (CET)

ive had real trouble getting past the ice beast and his spawns. managed to pull a couple of groups when he went far enough up but im still missing the main group of ice imps. 85.166.226.21 17:19, 8 November 2007 (CET)

"For the beginner..."

Never farmed IDS in my life but this build wasnt hard to use for me. According to paco's vote it should have been."Note that this criterion is not efficiency. It describes only the performance of the build, and does not compare this to the player's effort required to use it or to acquire the needed skills and items. " That vote, according to real vetting, should be removed.Matti Nuke 23:19, 2 November 2007 (CET)

Agreed, this vote isnt objective, please remove. Heavy Yield 08:41, 3 November 2007 (CET)

Hard mode?

Does this build work on hard mode?

I havent tested it, im going to do so now (I'm heavy_yield, just lazy to login)

ah too bad, getting past the first stone summits is an arse, its really hard, even tried 130 hp'in that but it didnt work. So, its NM for this build (though im not giving up :P)

Dont cast more than 2 at a time?

what do u mean by this? how do u cast two enchanments at a time.Im just wondering cuz i dont wanna make the mistake.=) Apu of Kwik E 03:14, 17 November 2007 (CET)

Means dont cast too many enchatments before reapplying vow of silence or u will die. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 23:01, 17 November 2007 (CET)

I cant believe that this build is vetted and it doesnt use all its sttriibute points... --- Ressmonkey (talk) 01:33, 21 November 2007 (CET)

About to test it, looks good so far, one thing, MINOR RUNES!!! User:Mr buck rogers

Other runes are ok for PvE. I never have a character without a Superior rune on his headpiece...although I do use all Superior Vigors with that as well. - † Lord Xivor † 20:14, 25 November 2007 (CET)

great?

shouldnt this be good since the overall rating isnt 4.5?Apu of Kwik E 22:42, 25 November 2007 (CET)

Yep, I just changed it. Anyone can change it btw.--Victory (talk/pvxcontribs) 22:44, 25 November 2007 (CET)

o okay. you responded to this fast.lol. maybe you just came across it by coincidence Apu of Kwik E 22:47, 25 November 2007 (CET)

Everyone says that. On the left side of the web page there is a button called recent changes. I f5 spam that and can respond to like every new message if i want to =P.--Victory (talk/pvxcontribs) 22:48, 25 November 2007 (CET)

Heavy Yields Build

I tried the YouTube video build vs this build and I gotta say his is much better, due to have veil up all the time significantly slows there cast times down allows a bit of room for error if you will. Did a very slight variant and used Farmers Scythe, Mystic Regen, VoS, Conviction, Signet of Mystic Speed, Faithful Intervention, Holy Veil, and Balthazar Spirit. Like a said very very slight variant, but it gives me a free run at 33% all the time.

14 Scythe 10 Wind 9 Earth 9 Mysticism

All and all a heck of a lot easier then W/Mo or Obsidian builds.

(Mr Pink57 18:59, 26 November 2007 (CET))

ty for the build, maybe add as a variation? i chose not to use hex removers such as holy veil because i had trouble keeping things up with only 2-3 regen (depends which weapon you use) Heavy Yield 18:26, 27 November 2007 (CET)

I have a customized +15 while enchanted zealous scythe of enchanting so energy is abundant. (Mr Pink57 04:02, 29 November 2007 (CET))

My build

I made a build just like this ages ago, and i used mantra of frost instead of balth spirit. Mantra of frost will give you +2 energy per hit and also reduce damage, and ALSO give you another pip of energy regen. seeing as its your only monk skill moving over to D/Me is easy. --Bim (talk|contribs) 04:09, 30 November 2007 (CET)

Sorry i must disagree, MoF may be handy in reducing the already minimal damage you will be taking from attacks, but you dont need 2 energy per hit, 1 from BS is enough. I chose enchanted haste (sig of pious haste is fine too, btw) because it allows you to escape from the troll or 2 that sometimes get aggroed. MoF wont work then because they deal physical dmg >.<

Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=Dervish/Monk Scythe_Mastery=10+1+3 Mysticism=8+1 Earth_Prayers=8 Wind_Prayers=10][Enchanted Hast][Mystic Regeneration][Vow of Silence] [Victorious Sweep][Eremites Attack][Conviction][Faithful Intervention][Balthazar's Spirit][/build] </pvxbig>

Ive Been using this one for a while, and i would advise taking the northern rout since FS is Gone, and using a zealous Scythe with the same attributes, good for anyone that doesn't have Eye of the North

Picture reward

I dont know who did it, but i hate it, do not change my reward picture with some dervish that drops swords and uses another build! Heavy Yield 01:07, 28 January 2008 (EST)
