Build for farming Orr
Few people bite on this topic because they don’t consider farming open world mobs and events “content”. Regardless, I can help you because it’s 90% of what I do ingame and optimized my own approach.
This content is all about how many simultaneous damage effects you can bring to bear on a mob because 1) they die fast and 2) in an event, you don’t have alot of time to get the damage needed to tag for lootrights. Based on this strategy, I like 3 builds:
1. GS with 20/25/0/20/5 (Multiple skill rotations to get Bursty AOEs, yum)
2. Hammer with 25/25/0/0/20 (If you are hitting events more often and benefit from protection boon)
3. Mace with 15/30/20/0/5 (Fast, repeatable burst rotation)
I won’t specify the traits (I hope that’s obvious, if it’s not, I can elaborate). I’m typically in zerker gear with Traveler’s runes and run Purging Flames, Sword of Justice and Bane Signet. I HIGHLY advise traveler’s runes because most of your time is spent moving around so the faster you move, the more mobs you kill, the better your farm will be.
Another build I’m toying with is Scepter 20/25/x/x/x but I’m not as happy with it. It’s got more moving parts and range is actually not your friend in this kind of content.
If you are interested in other classes for this kind of farming, I would recommend Necro and Theif as THE best (I haven’t tried warrior or engineer yet).
