Talk:Vermin

Farming Vermin- Well, I hate to admit it, but I've got a limited ability to farm these things. I don't have a Warrior, and my Monk is a ways off from becoming a 55. But the collector *Yu Lae has a bow that I really like, and I've painstakingly tried using blood AoE, FoC spiking, SS(Which might have worked better if I had spent the gold to become a N/Me with Arcane Echo) a touch ranger (which failed miserably, the degen gets me every time and I run out of mana trying to throw the bleeding and poison off), a pin down/degen (which unfortunately didn't work so well since there's always at least 3 of them), and a couple other things I'm not so proud of.

Of course, eventually I gave in and used a couple of AI to buffer myself. But in terms of ways of farming these that would actually WORK, I suggest: A *Spiteful Spirit N/Me using Arcane Echo. I didn't have one myself, but even 1 Spiteful Spirit spell combined with Reckless Haste killed at least 1 of them and severely damaged the others nearby. 2 would have killed them all very quickly. I should do that later.

Any W/Mo using Balanced Stance and Healing Signet could easily overcome the Vermin.

I do NOT suggest using a 55, since the Vermin use Jaggeed Strike and Entangling Asp, which have enough degen to overcome the 55's healing abilities.
