W/Mo Vermin Farmer
A W/Mo build for solo'g the Vermin in Xaquang Skyway

Attributes and Skills

 * If you are comfortable with the build and don't find yourself needing Healing Hands to stay alive, it can easily be replaced with another elite skill such as Gladiator's Defense.

Equipment

 * Gladiator's Armor
 * Tactic's Helmet (+1 to Tactics)
 * Best Vigor Rune available.
 * Superior Absorption.
 * Zealous Axe (Wing's Axe works wonderfully) however isn't necessary. Any kind of axe will do.

Usage
The whole backline to this build is Dolyak Signet, Vigorous Spirit, and Cyclone Axe. The rest is almost all just noise. To start a fight, aggro as many vermin as you think you can round up. Once you have them all aggro'd, throw on Dolyak Signet, hit Vigorous Spirit, and start spamming Cyclone Axe when all the mobs move in close enough. If you're using a zealous axe, you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever with energy management. If you don't normally like to use zealous weapons, fret not. Bonetti's Defense is there for you. When Dolyak Signet goes down, and your energy reserves are a little low, hit Cyclone Axe (if you have enough energy) and then hit Bonetti's. This should instantly resupply all your energy (keep in mind that Bonetti's Defense ends as soon as you use a skill). Refresh Dolyak Signet as soon as it recharges and Vigorous Spirit whenever necessary. After every fight, you will probably still be under the effects of one or more degenerative conditions. Simply use Healing Signet to boost your heatlh back up.

Fighting Shreader Sharptongue's Group'''
When you get to this assassin boss, make sure you target him first. Make sure all your attacks him him and try to kill him first. DO NOT kill all the other Vermin before him. Doing so will result in you not having enough healing power to keep yourself alive in the final fight with him. During the process of fighting him, you will aggro a HUGE group of vermin. If you aren't used to the build yet, you may find yourself in a tight situation with your health rapidly plummiting. If this happens to you and you fear you might die, throw on Healing Hands (only while Dolyak Signet is active) and it will keep you alive long enough to get yourself straight again. In this build, Healing Hands is meerly a safety net and not necessary at all for the build to function as intended. After this boss and his group, there is another group across the bridge behind his area that contains three more spawns of vermin. After those, it is the end of the farming run. Simply warp to Senji's Corner, sell, restock, and repeat.

Variants

 * Replace Healing Hands with any elite of your choosing.
 * Replace Bonetti's Defense with any other skill of your choosing if bringing a zealous axe.
 * Replace Healing Signet with any other skill if you feel it is unneeded.
