Build:Rt/Mo 330hp Vengeful Farmer

This build is provisionally vetted great pending more votes. This build has received a provisional rating in the range from 4.75 to 5.0 and thus qualifies for the highest category of working builds: Great. This build has been designed for the following use: PvE farming

The 330hp Ritualist uses Protective Spirit to reduce damage to 33 damage so Vengeful was Khanhei makes the Ritualist invulnerable. Additional damage from Retribution and others skills speeds up the killing of enemies. Its primary goal is to farm smaller packs of mobs efficiently in Hard Mode.

For farming larger groups (with no/minimal degen) see the 105hp version.

Farmable Areas

• Jade Brotherhood Knights in Wajjun Bazaar, outside the Marketplace. Keep walking near the sea, the run ends near Kegai.
• Frozen Elementals in Ice Cliff Chasms. Start from Gunnar's Hold, avoid Avalanches while farming.
• Hulking Stone Elemental, Stone Elemental groups in Old Ascalon.
• Tusked Howlers in Arkjok Ward. Start from Yohlon Haven.
• Various Insects in Plains of Jarin.
• Rain Beetles in The Mirror of Lyss. Start from Mihanu Township.
• Vermin in Xaquang Skyway. Bring IAU, may also need to replace Retribution with Smite Condition.
• Naga in Sunqua Vale. Start from Tsumei Village, beware of Quivering Blade.
• Luxon Assassins in Boreas Seabed. Bring IAU, use it when they cast Iron Palm right at the start.
  • You'll need the quest The Halcyon Job, but don't do any of the objectives, just rush straight to the village. Avoid any mobs on your way.
  • Pull one group of 4 at a time - groups spawn when you reach their spawn points, usually near villagers.
• Stone Scale Kirin, Wardens, Undergrowth, Jade Brotherhood Knights in Pongmei Valley. Consider bringing IAU if you wish to farm the Undergrowths.
• Minotaurs in Anvil Rock outside Ice Tooth Cave. Pull one group of ~5 at a time else they scatter and regen so much that you'll never kill anything.
• Jade Armors and Jade Bows at the start of the Ring of Fire mission. Bring IAU, pull all three groups near the lava lake to the right of the starting position.
• Star Blades and Star Sentinels in the Nahpui Quarter mission. Avoid bosses, do not try to kill the Star Lights.
• Kournans in the Fortress of Jahai, including the boss Admiral Kantoh. Bring IAU, Pain Inverter and EBSoW, start from Kodonur Crossroads with a Paragon Speed Boost Hero then clear the whole fortress one group at a time. Use the Floodplain of Mahnkelon portal to rezone.
• Am Fah from the Refuse to Drink quest for Runes and q8 OS items. Bring EBSoW and "Finish Him!", pre-prot yourself then talk to Brother Tosai about the quest, aggro the second group near you, then with both groups on yourself, cycle your spells to kill them (use "Finish Him!" as soon as you can on Am Fah Healers when they use Infuse Health). Head into the small alleyway behind you, prot yourself, aggro the group at the bottom of the ramp, begin to cycle your spells while the other two groups go down the ramp. Once those three groups are dead, rezone through the Undercity portal, repeat. Be careful of the Am Fah Marksmen's traps when positioning yourself or picking up the drops.

Counters

• Interruption
• KDs
• Aggroing too many enemies
• Too much health degeneration

Notes

• You can take off the chest and hand armor if needed to activate Spirit Bond.
• Like with all builds, this takes practice to get a feel for it.
