Minotaur farming is slightly less effective and produces less loot than troll farming, but is very easy and anyone can pick it up in minutes.
Skills:
Cyclone axe, bonetti's defense, gladiator's defence, live vicariously and dolyak signet. The remaining three slots can be filled up with anything you want, either damage-dealing skills to kill the minotaurs faster, extra protection and healing, or a mix of both. I normally use two attack skills and healing breeze in case I mess up my timing and can't have a stance up.
Attribute Points:
9 Healing Prayers (I use 9 to get +7 regen on healing breeze, but you can lower it to go up higher in other attributes)
8 Strength - 7+1(Again, can go lower or higher depending on your other skills)
10 Axe Mastery - 7+3
12 Tactics - 11 +1
This leaves you with 4 extra attribute points.
Gear:
Any axe will do, zealous is recommended to keep your energy constantly high.
The desert collector stance shield is great for this build, but the enchanted one works just as well or better.
Gladiator's chest piece and leggings at least to get 25 energy, and a piece of either knight's or ascalon armor to get the damage reduction.
Now to the actual farming:
1. Enter the Elona Reach mission. (In the desert) Cast Live Vicariously on yourself.
2. Gather up all the minotaurs near the pool of water and use glads defence and dolyak signet.
3. Use bonetti's when glad's is recharging, and cyclone axe to keep your health and energy high. After using cyclone, immediatlely use either glads or bonetti's again. *Remember that bonnetti's defence ends if you use a skill*
4. You can use your other skills whenever, but it is generally better to use them when glad's defence is up because then the stance doesn't end early.
Have fun and happy farming.
