Please dicuss and rate this build. Its much faster than my original build made for this area, however its not as safe and depends on your Norn rank. As I wrote in the article, Patient Spirit can be switched out for any other skill that isn't a spell with longer activation time than 1/4 of a second, or isn't a long lasting enchantment like Vigorous Spirit. Will post some alternatives for the healing skill in variants in a while. Feel free to post some yourself if you find some good alternatives. --Arthas 10:23, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
- Great build, fast, efficient and has pretty high survivability.

- Have to correct myself lol. Vigorous Spirit works and I recommend it. A bit different usage when it comes to running through Skale groups and killing dryders. Patient still works and is a lot safer. --Arthas 12:22, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
- You have pictures from the Melandru's Resilience war build, I'd like to see those pictures of THIS build.Stryk the Lightning 20:10, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
- I have to take all those pictures again?! *sigh* oh well...--Arthas 03:00, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
- Fixed the piccies. --Arthas 16:57, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
You could also use a shield with +10 def vs. piercing dmg (through thick and thin-inscription) and an zealous axe with shelter (+7 def vs. physical dmg). That's 17 more armor, so you won't take much damage. Dre 03:12, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
- I am pretty sure I have tested it before and, for the most part, a -2 stance shield reduces more damage than a +10a vs. phys damage type. This was on a level 10 dervish vs. tundra giants though. . .lol, I would think the same thing would hold true for a w/mo that's level 20 in FoW. :) Foolsauce

- I removed the note about them removing patient spirit, It wouldn't matter anyway because even if it is removed you get the healing. Justing6 12:45, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
- True, however, you still take 100 damage from Shatter Enchantment. You barely ever need to use Patient Spirit when on the beach, Feel No Pain is enough. --Arthas 16:26, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
- I've found a unique shield with the stats you need, and it only costs about 2k, Victo's Bulwark. -Killer Hasy 16:26, 6 April 2008 (CST)

Knight's
Knight's Insignia on all armor pieces and one Superior Absorption rune is a must. If Knight's Insignia and Superior Abs. rune is not used you will take too much damage from the Armored Cave Spiders.
You know, Knight's doesn't stack. You only need one armor part with Knight's for its effect to work. -StarSeeker | My talk 14:49, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
Absorption doesnt stack, Knights, you need one on each piece. Quackerz0 15:10, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
- Oh yeah, it depends on wich part is hit. Never mind then. -StarSeeker | My talk 15:14, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
- If that was true, then it would be amazingly overpowered. Just imagine 1 knights insignia, 1 dreadnaughts, 1 sentinels, 1 stonefist and 1 +10 AL vs. physical. 110 armor against all damage+ -3 abs. from knights and + -3 from abs rune. --Arthas 12:01, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
Lol 30 minutes
Is slow. —ǘŋƐxɩsƫ 07:31, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
- Not compared to the D/Me or the P/any. --88.131.84.23 11:55, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
- It's not that short of a run, especially since the time it takes is more dependant on how the skales move than anything else. Using the W/R Melandru's Resilience build I've gotten it down to 25 minutes, but if the group of skales near the Admiral move around a lot it can take 45 mins carefully moving the spiders around. LunchboxOctober 12:56, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
I do it in 15 mins with my dervish. Consistently. 30 minutes is very slow. - (fär'nəm thĕ fī'ə-rē)

- UW maybe, but not FoW. If you can do all of it, including the spider cave with Dervish, I would really like you to PM me in game and proove it to me. Got my IGN's on my userpage. Tbh, i think you mean Underworld with the smite crawlers and not Fissure of Woe with Snarling Driftwoods and Armored Cave Spiders. In that case, i do UW with warrior in about half of your time. --Arthas 16:51, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
- yea, i dont see anyway this can be done in 15 minutes. unless your /haxckszor Quackerz0 17:54, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
Profitable?
I havnt done spiders since the armor stacking nerf, is it still profitable? for the amount of time it takes? Quackerz0 19:26, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
- I don't see the point really, in twice the time you can clear FoW with a PuG Ursan on HM for lots of drops from the chests + whatever drops. Racthoh 02:05, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
- True, and I do that almost every day. However, some players don't have a character with Slayer of All and Consumables are quite pricy. --Arthas 03:21, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
- well, i have a r10, and cons, so doing ursan HM would be more profitable than this? its usually pretty profitable when i do it, just wasnt sure if this was better or not Quackerz0 17:17, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Feel No Pain
what can Feel No Pain be replaced with? (my wammo is so lazy he isn't in EoTN yet!).. i do have patient spirit .. tomes ftw Close Impact talk 04:15, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
- I can't even see where Feel No Pain is used. Anyway, try Healing or Restful Breeze. ~ ĐONT*TALK 04:28, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
- The main idea behind Feel No Pain is to counter the degeneration caused by Poison without slowing you down that much. --Arthas 19:14, 14 May 2008 (EDT)
Norn Rank
I used a R6 Norn rank and I had absolutely no problems. Killer Hasy 9:18, 4 May 2008 (EDT)
