Build:R/A Whirling Defense Farmer

Uses Shadow Form and assassin enchantments to negate damage and Whirling Defense to quickly kill ranged groups. Whirling Defense damages all adjacent foes every time a ranged attack is blocked. If you can ball up a group of ranged enemies, you can effectively farm the group using the AoE damage from Whirling Defense.
