W/E Sliver Vermin

This build is used to farm vermin, but in a completely different way than the other builds. It uses the power of Sliver Armor to quickly kill a lot of vermin instead of Triple Chop and Cyclone Axe, which now causes the vermin to run away very often.

Attributes and Skills

Equipment

Knight's Armor for the damage absorption
Any sword will do, but Rajazan's Fervor is preferred for the “of enchanting” upgrade and the extra energy
Any maxed shield will do, particularly those with absorption upgrades
Use runes of superior vigor, absorption and some attunement runes on your armor

Usage

luring the vermins

luring the verminsAggro 2-3 groups of vermin at a time (see image),
Use skill in the following order:
Dolyak Signet
Glyph of Renewal
Sliver armor
Healing signet 2 or 3 times
Repeat
Bonetti's defense is for the energy upkeep, I will survive if the health degeneration becomes to much to handle and riposte and deadly riposte to kill the last few vermin

Counters

The elite skill of the vermin boss causes more health degeneration than you can heal without "I will survive!", so it's best to kill him as soon as possible.
Getting knocked down while activating Sliver Armor
When using this build in any other area, enchantment removals are the greatest counters, because your main attack is an enchantment

Variants

Replace the ripostes for any strength or tactics based attack skill for some more damage. Do NOT choose any swordsmanship skills, because you only have 2 swordsmanship
Replace glyph of renewal with gladiators defense as silver armor and gladiators defense working at the same time will deal out almost double the damage in the same period of time. The vermin will have less time to shadow step and thus could all be dead in a period of 4 seconds.

Notes

There's a 2 second time period when Dolyak Signet is not on. Do NOT use healing signet or sliver armor in this period!
Also, it sometimes happen that the boss gets stuck behind a Canthan chest. If this happens, kill all the other vermin first, and then fight the boss 1 on 1
Sliver Armor lasts 12 seconds, Dolyak signet 18 seconds and glyph of renewal has a 15 seconds recharge time, so its best to use dolyak signet, renewal, sliver armor, then wait until dolyak signet is recharged, then repeat.
During the boss fight you can also use dolyak,renewal, sliver, wait until sliver ends, sliver. use this only when the boss isn't dead after the first sliver armor.
A video of this build can be found here. It looks terrible, but I made it just to show how it works (and how fast)
