User:XT-8147/W/Mo Hammer Farm

Tired of playing the standard cookie-cutter Axe farming build? No? Well too bad, play this one anyway. Farming is almost as easy with a hammer as it is with an axe.

Armor
I chose 1.5k Canthan. Glad's chest, legs, and boots; stoneskin gauntlets; and hammer mastery helm. Add on the best Vigor rune available (I use Major Vigor) and a Superior Absorption.

Weapon
I use Victo's Maul. With the slower attack speed of a hammer, you'll want the furious mod.

Usage

 * This build works against Trolls as well as the HM Hulking Stone Elementals outside Sardelac Sanitarium. It can't kill the bosses (Cobble Poundstone and Flint Touchstone) in HM.  Cobble Poundstone is technically possible, but it takes forever and you have to get very lucky and KD him out of Healing Signet several times in a row.  Flint Touchstone has Eruption which will blind you, and Ward Against Melee which gives him a 50% block chance.  Between those two it's also technically possible, but once again takes forever.
 * Activate Live Vicariously right away, then move towards enemies.
 * Run through to get them all, activate "For Great Justice!" when they get close enough to attack you.
 * On Hard Mode, when you're content with the amount of enemies you have aggroed, you should be hurting. Hit Dolyak Signet and then Lion's Comfort.  Lion's Comfort should have charged thanks to "For Great Justice!".  If not, just whack an enemy once or twice.
 * Build up the remaining adrenaline, and then Earth Shaker->Crude Swing. Toss on Vigorous Spirit.
 * Repeat Earth Shaker->Crude Swing a few times, and activate your other skills as necessary.
 * Dolyak Signet will have a 3 second downtime, but it shouldn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things. Try to have Bonetti's Defense active during the downtime.
 * Since Lion's Comfort disables Dolyak Signet, always use it just after Dolyak Signet. If you absolutely need it in an emergency, go ahead and use it, then use Bonetti's to tank until you have Dolyak Signet back.
 * If you should die, it's not the end of the world. I've successfully recovered from 30% Death Penalty.  More might restrict you too much, especially if it prevents you from using "For Great Justice!".

Variants

 * Swap "For Great Justice!" for Sprint.
 * Or try Warrior's Cunning against those pesky Minotaurs and their blocking, though that 60 second recharge time really does hurt.
 * Mending lol
