 * Thanks for the info, didn't know that :)--Raps4life 18:21, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

Could I someone let me know if it's ready to be tested?--Raps4life 18:39, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

Need someone who has factions and farms vermin to let me know whats the max number of groups this build could handle in hard mode, and also how many groups to agro when facing the boss because I don't feel like bringing my warrior to factions.--Raps4life 19:54, 21 August 2007 (CEST)

It's really hard to kill the boss. Best if you aggro his group and one more, to get extra healing. And you can tank 2 groups at one time, but it's not too good - In HM they cast Heart of Shadow and run away to regen. So it's best to fight with one group at a time. &mdash; Abedeus   07:56, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

Haven't there already been a ton of W/Mo farming builds using Dolyak Signet, Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit? Don't see any innovation here. Taeryn 21:59, 22 August 2007 (CEST)

 * Really, you only need a sup in axe + helm to farm vermin in NM, not sure about HM tho 217.155.45.177 21:33, 1 December 2007 (CET)

Vermin HM
Someone want to post a video on how the hell you kill those things in HM? I took on 1 group for 30 minutes (not lying) and none of em died. 24.197.181.242 23:32, 25 December 2007 (EST)

yeah i uhh had the same problem with those annoying things --Bigg 21:00, 29 March 2008 (EDT)

Hard mode they continuously keep gaining life back. It seems like they're nigh impossible to farm solo. - Joker

Axe?
I use a zealous axe instead of Balth Spirit. Just a thought JORLZ36181 13:29, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

So do i and i find that it works much better and free's up a spot for another skill Gorlath the wild 10:59 19 July 2008 (EDT)

For the optional...
what does anyone here think for the optional? save yourselves might be good.

i mean, i saw the list on the page, but i'm trying to think outside the box here.

Similar but different build
This build works waaay better in Old Ascalon and doesn't require a specific weapon

Asuran Scan allows you to fight Flint Touchstone without worrying about either blindness from Eruption or blocking from his Ward Against Melee. - BarragetweakX2 05:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Archive:W/any Stone Elemental Farmer is better for that farm. You can avoid eruption and step out of WaM, making ascan unnecessary.-- Relyk 06:44, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you've used either build, but running away from eruption and WAM will take you forever to kill Flint Touchstone. With my version you don't need to run away, and the damage from eruption is negligible due to your high armor rating and healing skills. Test it out if you doubt me. BarragetweakX2 20:45, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Hammer variant?
Would someone like to test whether the build'd work with a hammer? Something like that, maybe: OQMTEVJ3QKsYHMO6mUrwnItwfA Hammers deal more base damage and have more frequent AoE attacks, which may offset the reduced attack frequency. Knock downs reduce the need for healing. For single targets one could bring renewing smash. Some crafty farmer may come up with a better hammer variant. --Krschkr (talk) 18:45, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Build:W/any Fissure Shore and Cave Farmer may be able to compete with this build. Also not suspectible to enchantment removal. --Krschkr (talk) 13:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Severely outclassed
As much as I like Triple Chop and the "spinning barb" archetype, this looks really outdated. When considering the three farming areas on the page (in Hard Mode) and after some testing this build either does not work at all or... well let's say it can be excruciatingly slow to kill some foes.


 * 1 - Stone Elementals : Seven Weapons Stance Scythe Farmer is faster.
 * 2 - Slave Spirits : In HM the recommended Healing Hands + Endure Pain combo is hilariously bad. Both Healing Hands and Vigorous Spirit can be rupted (this means death), and when it works it's increeeeeeedibly slow.
 * However farming the Slaves with a Warrior is a cool idea and definitely doable :

[build prof=W/Mo name="Spirit Slaves Warrior" hea=10 str=12+1+3 axe=8+1][Cyclone Axe][Whirlwind Attack][Defy Pain][Flail][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][Light of Deldrimor][Sprint][Live Vicariously][/build]
 * Something like this is way way faster, 100% safe and it keeps the spirit of this build. It's faster than the Paragon one and only very slightly slower than the VoR 55 Mesmer one. I don't know if SWS or HB-based builds could work here but in the end, well, they might also represent a viable alternative to this one.
 * 3 - Vermin : It just doesn't work. You don't die. They don't die. Nothing happens. You fall asleep on your keyboard.

I won't mention the other areas because those are Normal Mode farms. Even when using this against foes like the Jade Brotherhood this is still inferior to the SWS build. As of now I think this should be archived or maybe reworked into something like a Slave Spirits Farmer, if no other alternatives emerge. Feydslynox (talk) 15:46, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
