Scions of Famine/Hunger - tips for staying alive?

[hexnessie]

Any tips for consistently not letting those guys kill you in Morgoneth's Folly? What class do you feel works best for farming the area?

To clarify, I have no trouble killing them (eventually) and staying alive in general, but Morgoneth's is a challenge area and if you die, that's adieu for that session, all the hard work of getting there is wasted. So I'm looking to up my chances of survival.

Basically, is there a famine-proof build out there that can be used to farm this area?

don't stand on their blue pools of "something deadly which probably can easily kill you", that's my suggestion.

I, personally, for farming always use pet build or tanks... something brainless + grim internals for x3 speed and teleport on spot (saves a lot of time there) but if you don't have that kind of arsenal then simply do the part 1 and you should be fine.

Yeah, I usually do kiting builds (most of them Demo based) so standing in spot and taking damage is rarely an issue. But the tentacles! Ugh, the tentacles.

I will have to explore pet builds. This is one thing I've never done in GD. My highest summoner got to level 41 and then I got too bored. Maybe it's time to resurrect him.

Even as a kitting build, you should have reasonable defenses. Like, 2800 Defensive Ability is a very strong goal for pretty much everyone. Against DoT puddles, Damage absorption works best. Inquisitor's Seal, Phoenix Fire in Devotions, things like that.

Easiest concept to get unkillable with is probably something like Physical Warlord with a Shield, or maybe even better, Physical Retaliation Warlord with a Shield.

I farmed em with a silly sunheralds claymore commando build using fire forcewave on hardcore, so I guess it was kind of tanky, but not an optimal build cuz I didn't have the justice set yet. All I wanted was a recipe for one of the conduits for another build, which of course was the last recipe that became available to buy, so it took like 30 runs (damn you rng). Just stay out of the pools, their damage seems like nothing for a second but it ramps up super hard if you stand in em for too long. Just keep moving, keep an eye on that health and pop potions when needed. Helps to have a circuit breaker of course and keep in mind when it's off cooldown, staggering between that and potion cooldowns.

Thanks, I think I have good Defense Rating but will work on more damage absorption and a shield character.

My problem is I need to farm the area low-level enough to get Celestial Halberds for a new char I want to make -- they need to be something around level 30-40, so no endgame build possible.
