Oooo, what's the overall level of drops there, any runes? XD

You lured our their meteors by running around before engaging them right?

1. Balthazar's Spirit
2. Zealot's Fire
3. Protective Spirit
4. Mark of Protection
5. Symbol of Wrath
6. Balthazar's Aura
7. Reversal of Fortune
8. Orison of Healing

lesser the hp, the better #3 skill is.

and no pesky flesh golems disenchants.

An interesting way to farm these big boys is to put on all super runes with no vigor. Protective spiritn does 18 damage, and you can easily out heal the damage rate with one or two skills, and use more smite skills and kill faster.

Farming is lame. It ruins the game. Screw that, enough of these threads.

Being forced to Grind in order to be competitive in PvP is also lame. It also ruins the game.

Blame crappy game mechanics that force PvP'ers to farm in order to quickly and efficiently get past the "boring" PvE part of the game so we can do what we like ... PvP.

it's not as safe and easy as flesh golems before the update but at least they dont disenchant.

you can take 4-6 but anything like 8++ is dangerous. I noticed that, I always die when the 2nd batch of these hydras just appears out of nowhere.

b1m2x3 pointed out the problem in this area.

Also I tried hording all the hydras in the circle and when they got to me in the center, some hydras were stuck and clumped together, didn't do anything and the AOE dmg couldn't reach them.

after killing the inner hydras, the ones on the outer ring came in and finish me off. LOL!

I run 3 superior runes. I think 4 is dangerous due to extremely low health.

...

but then again, maybe you can take 4 and use healing hands instead.

How does farming ruin the game? If everything wasn't instanced I'd probably agree with you (in ffxi I spent 30+ hours farming Argus only to get beat by someone), see in GW there's noone there to steal my kills so anyone can go kill their own Instaced areas ^^
