SOLO FoW Build

Headline text
This build is similar to the W/Me variant of the FOW Solo Farmer, but can kill faster and heal easier than the W/any Fissure Spider Farmer.

Equipment

 * Armor:
 * Headgear with any mod
 * A max level armor with insignia and runes that boost your armor and/or energy.


 * Runes/Insignia:
 * Energy/Armor boosting insignia
 * 1 Superior Rune of Scythe Mastery.
 * 1 Minor mysticism rune
 * 1 Minor earth prayers rune
 * Best vigor rune you can afford


 * Weapons:
 * Any scythe will do. A zealous scythe with energy/health boost and/or armor penetration is suggested. Mhedi's Vow is a perfect unique scythe for this build.

Start

 * Cast Avatar of Balthazar and Vital Boon when you spawn in the FOW.
 * Run to the right, through the mobs, and circle around the large rocky outcrop where you can stop to let the patrols pass you. (You can use Mystic Regeneration to heal yourself when necessary).
 * When you meet the Snarling Driftwood, take them down quickly followed by the Doubter's Dryder that stands behind them. This must be done quickly because of the two shadow patrols that come past that point.

Killing
Important: Always keep away from the Ancient Skale!


 * While fighting the Snarling Driftwood, keep up Physical Resistance, Vital Boon, Mystic Vigor and Avatar of Balthazar whenever possible. Then when your health is low, cast Mystic Regeneration to keep your health up. Because of the three enchantments on you, your health stays high. And even when your health drops (which it shouldn't anyway), the enchantments on you provide enough healing power to stay alive. Keep on spamming the attack skills and when their health is at 1/3 you will also gain health from Victorious Sweep. The mobs should die quickly and easily.


 * The Doubter's Dryders are killed in a different way. First of all do not cast any enchantments on yourself because they will use Shatter Enchantment and Drain Enchantment which deal quite a lot of damage. Just lure them to a safe spot away from the Ancient Skale and attack them with your two attack skills. They should die quickly without any problems. Use Mystic Vigor, Mystic Regeneration and/or Vital Boon when your health drops below 250.


 * The Armored Cave Spiders are also very easy to kill. First kill the three Doubter's Dryders that stand in front of the cave. Then make the Armored Cave Spiders spawn and wait for them to spread out in front of the cave. Cast Vital Boon, Mystic Regeneration, Mystic Vigor and Physical Resistance before you proceed. Then lure one of them and pull him away from all the others, causing a group of 3 spiders to follow you. Wait until the three Armored Cave Spiders are together and pull them back further. Then just keep your enchantments up and Mystic Regeneration will provide you with enough healing power to stay alive and counter the poison. Spam your attack skills and they will die within 20-40 seconds.

Details

 * For a more detailed version on how to approach the mobs in FOW read the W/any Fissure Spider Farmer article, which describes how to attack and position yourself as you are farming in FOW.

Counters

 * Watch out for the Ancient Skale. You are almost certain to die if you don't rush through them, so always sprint away from them.
