This is my variation of the Whirling Defense Farmer found on PVXWiki. This still works after they Nerfed the Rit and Ele builds doing this.

It's a Player/Hero Monk build, so that I can be Lazy and have some breathing room in case I miss recharging my enchantments.

This is done in NM. The enemies damage you in HM, so I am experimenting. I will update.

The average is 2 Destroyer Cores per ~5 minute run.

I'll begin with the Builds:

Nightfall PvE only Deadly Paradox 10 5 Stance. All of your attack Skills are disabled for 10 seconds. For 5..15 seconds, your Assassin Skills activate and recharge 50% faster. (Attrib: Deadly Arts) Factions PvE only Shadow Form 60 1 10 Elite Enchantment Spell. For 5..20 seconds, all hostile Spells that target you fail and all attacks against you miss. When Shadow Form ends, lose all but 5..50 Health. (Attrib: Shadow Arts) Factions PvE only Way of Perfection 30 ¼ 5 Enchantment Spell. For 60 seconds, whenever you successfully land a critical hit, you gain 10..40 Health. (Attrib: Shadow Arts) Eye of the North PvE only Way of the Master 30 ¼ 5 Enchantment Spell. For 60 seconds, while holding a non-dagger weapon, you have an additional 3..33% chance to land a critical hit. (Attrib: Critical Strikes) Core PvE only Whirling Defense 60 10(5) Stance. For 8..20 seconds, you have 75% chance to block attacks. Whenever you block a projectile in this way, adjacent foes take 5..11 damage. (Attrib: Expertise) Eye of the North PvE only "By Ural's Hammer!" 30 5 Shout. For each ally within earshot who is under 50% Health, you have 5..10 seconds of +2 Health regeneration and do 25% more damage. (Attrib: Deldrimor rank)

Core PvE only Blessed Signet 10 2 Signet. For each Enchantment you are maintaining, you gain 3 Energy (maximum 3..24). (Attrib: Divine Favor) Core PvE only Heal Party 2 2 15 Spell. Heal entire party for 16..80 Health. (Attrib: Healing Prayers) You get healed for 32 Health. Core PvE only Mending 2 10 -1 Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this Enchantment, target ally gains +1..4 Health regeneration. (Attrib: Healing Prayers) Target ally gets healed for 32 Health. Prophecies PvE only Balthazar's Spirit 2 10 -1 Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this Enchantment, target ally gains adrenaline and Energy after taking damage. (The amount of adrenaline gained increases depending on your rank in Smiting Prayers.) (Attrib: Smiting Prayers) Target ally gets healed for 32 Health. Core PvE only Life Bond 2 10 -1 Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this Enchantment, whenever target other ally takes damage from an attack, half the damage is redirected to you. The damage you receive this way is reduced by 3..30. (Attrib: Protection Prayers) Target ally gets healed for 32 Health. Prophecies PvE only Life Barrier 5 2 15 -1 Elite Enchantment Spell. While you maintain this Enchantment, damage dealt to target other ally is reduced by 20..50%. If your Health is below 50% when that ally takes damage, Life Barrier ends. (Attrib: Protection Prayers) Target ally gets healed for 32 Health.

I use a monk with the above skills to give me a couple seconds worth of time in case I don't put up the proper enchantments on time. This rarely happens, but with this build, I don't die too often due to mistakes.

The only skill on the Monk Hero that's really required is Balthazar's Spirit; this is where you'll get your energy to recharge your Enchantments.

- Disable the Enchantments on your Hero Monk; this will prevent them from taking it off of you. We will be applying them manually.

Required Equipment:
- A one handed weapon with +5 Energy and 20% Enchantment (I've been using a Totem Axe)
- A shield (my shield has a Health +30)

Walkthrough:

1. First go to the Central Transfer Chamber and equip your weapon and shield.

2. Talk to Consular Brand Chamber to go to Glint's Challenge.

3. Once in, Flag your Monk Hero to be just behind the Baby Dragon.

- Remember to Display your Delver Title

4. Select yourself, and cast your Monk's Enchantments on your Character (In my case all 4 of them: Mending, Balthazar's Spirit, Life Bond & Life Barrier)

5. Once you have your enchantments, position yourself as in the following picture:


6. The Destroyers will kill all of the Dwarves. Once they start to attack the Dwarf to your right, begin activating your Assassin Enchantments in the following Order.

- Deadly Paradox, Shadow Form, Way of Perfection & Way of the Master. Do this one right after the other.

- Don't worry about energy, as soon as the Destroyers start to attack you, your energy will replenish really fast.

Repeat the Activating of all of these Enchantments every time Shadow Form is about to expire. This will allow you to keep them up all the time.
- If you don't keep these up, you die.

7. At around the 3:10 time marker, all of the groups will have been Agro'd. Begin slowly pulling them up the hill between where both groups came in, as shown: (Careful not to lose any, they'll start attacking the Baby Dragon and your Monk)


To about here: (Remembering to keep up your Assassin Enchantments)


The Destroyer groups will converge into 2 big groups. This is what you want.

8. Begin pulling them to the Eastern Area that some of them came in:


They will turn into 1 Big group.

9. Try to Bunch them up as tight as possible, slowly inching to get the rear ones closer to the front ones.


Here's about how tight they should be:


10. Position yourself towards the middle of the group, and get as close as possible. Activate "By Ural's Hammer!" and Whirling Defense together, and you'll begin Damaging Everything.

11. With a little luck, everything will die:


12. Pick up all your drops, then /resign, rinse and repeat.

That's it, Enjoy.

Nice, have you tried bringing EoE on the monk?
