The ‘330hp Resilient Vengeful Bonder’ makes use of the Ritualist elite skill Vengeful was Kahnhei along with the Ritualist skill Vengeful Weapon and the Monk skills Protective Spirit and Reversal of Damage to deal large amounts of damage whilst maintaining a high damage resistance. This build can be used to farm areas in Hard Mode and is considered to be one of the fastest farming builds in existence. The build has been made quite resilient to conditions through the inclusion of Resilient was Xiko.

[RtMo 330hp Res. Vengeful Bonder;OAOk4gPaITKDxDvWP0iWsip+QeA]

Armor & Equipment:

• Minimum armor level armor (AL 15 from Shing Jei Monastery, or starter armor). This allows most hits to trigger Spirit Bond.
• A superior Restoration Magic rune and a superior rune of Spawning Power to lower your health to 330hp.
• Radiant insignias for extra energy.
• Runes of Attunement for even more extra energy.
• A weapon set with 20%+20% chance for halved skill recharge (so that Vengeful was Khanhei can be recast immediately when it runs out), or:
• A weapon set with 20% chance for halved skill recharge and enchantments last 20% longer modifications (to lengthen Protective Spirit).

Usage:

The build works best against melee classes with little or no healing, although can be used to farm a variety of mobs in Hard Mode.

The following boss specific articles are available:

• Xuekao, the Deceptive

General Strategy:

When approaching a mob, activate protective spirit. Aggro the mob and cast Spirit Bond if required to manoeuvre the mob so that the whole mob is attacking you. Cast Vengeful was Kahnhei whilst spamming Vengeful Weapon and Reversal of Damage to increase your damage output. Use Spirit Bond to cover whilst Vengeful was Kahnhei recharges. If you are experiencing significant health degeneration due to conditions use Resilient was Xiko whilst Vengeful was Kahnhei recharges.

It is suggested to wait for Vengeful was Kahnhei to drop before recasting so that your weapon’s ‘halves skill recharge of spells (chance 20%)’ might proc.
