[Slayer] Mob farming char (butchering)

[Phantasm]

I never played slayer and I need pve char for butchering. I DONT want engi.
Pls can you post some decent 40/40 spec so I can stop wasting time on my IB for gold farm.
Thank you.
PS: also min gear I need for it.

Not too easy to do solo farm at 40/40 due to lack of a self healing option. But you can do it in any gear with dual wield spec.

I would recommend getting Inevitable Doom. Pretty much just use Onslaught, ID, and retribution and you can kill quite a few mobs at once.

However, at 40/40 you cannot afford Rune of Absorption at the same time as ID. Health potions will be a must if you don’t want to spend a lot of time waiting for health to regenerate.

For tactics, I would recommend Ancestral Inheritance and Riposte as armor is the main mitigation source in PvE and passive parry happens a lot with mobs.

Additionally, make sure you have invested renown points in at least Futile Strikes II.

Farming as Slayer gets pretty good once you get Vanquisher/Subjagator and especially once you are rr60 and can have RoA and ID at the same time.

Thats a great piece of info. Very useful. Thank you.

A high rr/gear slayer is awesome for butchering, not a low one with rr and green items...
I would reroll a DD worried priest instead, good damage, awesome selfheal even with low rr/gear

Without a healer to duo with, I wouldn't pick any of the characters with a "self-harm" class mechanic to farm with. Too much downtime.

I got plan to play normally rvr to vanq and than make it pure butcher. Has WP got any aoe farm potential?

Massive.

It is slow as hell to kill stuff in comparison to MDPS but you can pretty much aggro the entire area worth of mobs and safely grind 'em down.

typically engie/magus are good ranged dps butchers because of their aoe and ability to pull stuff, mara is good mdps because their montro mutation gives them healing and they are fairly tough, everything else can do it but they suffer from either low dps or sustain, both of which make the experience quite tedious, my magus and engie are my butchers.

Anyone happen to know that WP spec for farming
