This is my version of the standard Warrior build for Vermin farming outside Senji's Corner. It is based around the principle that since vermin can't hurt you, and you heal yourself with your AoE axe attacks, all additional slots should be tuned towards leveraging that. With it I can do a 1 way vermin run in 7 minutes.

Equipment

 * With full Knights/Ascalon armor and a max shield, you should take no damage other than degen.
 * Vampiric/Sundering Axes help a little, the idea is to maximize damage.

Usage
The goal of this build is to speed up the run as much as possible by maximizing the damage of your AoE axe skills.


 * Immediately leaving town, cast Mending and Balthazar's Spirit leaving yourself with 2 energy.
 * Aggro 2 or more groups, cast Dolyak Signet.
 * When energy hits 10, cast Strength of Honor.
 * When energy hits 5, cast Vigorous Spirit.
 * Now target random vermin and start cycling through Executioner's Strike -> Triple Chop -> Executioner's Strike -> Cyclone Axe. After each cycle, tab to the next vermin and target him (this helps them go down at the same time).
 * As soon as your Dolyak Signet drops, hit that, follow with Vigorous Spirit, and start your damage cycle again. Keeping your Dolyak up as often as possible will help maximize your damage more than forcing an early AoE attack.
 * When the last enemy falls, remove your Strength of Honor enchantment to return energy pips to zero. Alternatively, you have about 40 seconds to aggro more enemies (thus avoiding the recast).
 * When fighting groups around Shreader Sharptongue(boss), target him rather than a random vermin. After he is down, clean up the rest.
