5-6 Legs/HR ( EXPLAINED - New afk farm)

[darthbercik]

Anybody have slot in pt? bercik#2200

About 20 hours farmed -the times ive had to stop to gather legendaries after afk, i have gained 30+ legendaries and 4 of those have been set.
Got lucky and gained 2xIK set pieces after each other. Totally worth the afk as barb!

Congratulations on the IK pieces, I am still looking to complete my set.

For all of you out there saying this doesn't work - it is because you aren't using a Barb with Grim Harvest. Best AFK farming ever!

The flaw

There are "rat callers" who spawn "plagued vermin". Those rat callers are always x-yards away from you, leaving those plagued vermin's very close to you. With thorn damage you will damage the rat callers, resulting in a dead game over time. The trick is to use firewalkers. With this, you will kill the plagued vermin's, but not the rat callers.

Walk trough:

Take the WP to Westmarch Heights in act 5. Either bounty or adventure, it does not matter. Next, you have to find the "repository of bones" dungeon. This is random, not every game has this dungeon. When it is in your game (high chance), it should be close to the WP. Its a stairway down to the dungeon.

After you are in, you simply walk trough the game gathering some rat callers. Your agro on those is not that big, so you might have to lure them a few times. The next part is to stand in a corner and enjoy.

Extra

You will need a lot of the following:

- Life
- Life per second
- Armor

A cool extra is the "rogar's huge stone" legendary, which gives % life per second based on your missing life.
It might be just random normal white mobs, but they come in great numbers Hence you really do need a lot of toughness and healing.
Either you can go for a nice 2H, or a 1H with a ruby for maximum damage (fire walkers is based on weapon damage!). While the 2H can max your DPS more, a 1H will give you an option for a shield.


Also do not forget:
You cannot have ANY thorns damage or area damage! If you have that, you will kill the rat callers.

Obviously you can use the barbarian skill "threatening shout" with grim to increase your gains and shoulders of zakara to make sure your gear does not break.

I'm doing this with a Crusader. No thorns. Using a SALVATION Shield, all block passives, and running T3.

I used it while multiboxing 3 accounts. Got 2 DHs and 1 barb. Everything lags out with around 2k ping. Died because of lag around 2 hours with over 11k kill bonus.

Barb LF EU group - low stuff though. PM me

[laurik1299]

Should i max All Resist or Vitality?All resist doesn't mean only ( fire , cold , holy , lighting etc.)? Because the white mobs ( plagued vermin ) don't use elemental damage so it's useless. Isn't it?

[beast619]

im a barb lookin for group, us server. pm me

[ktpchipper]

N/A Barb here. Send me msg if you need a partner.

remember back in grade school when the big kid used to hold you by your ankles and shake you until your change fell out of your pockets... same concept.

Get enought rat callers to spawn enought rats that the nephalem glory explosion cant reach them ( i got 19 on me ) and had no issue.

I think we can all agree on one thing: 5-6 legs/hr in the title is an absolute joke. Maybe a day...

I got about 2-3 x hour in the past 3 hours. So ye, title might be a bit too much, but it's still very good.

Last night I started this and obtained 4 legendaries within 65 minutes of testing (Barb w/ grim harvest). playing with it again today, will see how it goes.

~~ this farming was also done *after* actually playing the game for 2-3 hours of farming rifts as well (if that's anything worth noting).
