[fear me] is your problem simply use a caster+shield to keep your energy low and then switch to high when not fighting them, have fun farming ectos.

He means for you to use energy hiding. They can't sap energy that doesn't exist at the time.

Can someone provide a link where the developers say they removed the old anti-bot farming code that was targeted at 55 bots.

The only thing I have been able to find was where they mentioned how drops steadly got worse the more you went into an area and how this was replaced with loot scaling.

I really wish ANET would tell that "ALL" anti-farming code was removed.

Many types of builds that didn't work in the past, or that haven't been effective since the earliest days of Guild Wars, can now be used for solo farming. Thus, casual farmers will find the game much easier to farm than it was before, and that they can earn more money than before even with loot scaling in place.

Are you saying that the above is not true? You state numbers as if you have established proof of the existence of anti-farming code, and yet I would like to know if that is over a large base of research or is that anecdotal? I'm interested in whether you think that the statements above are inaccurate or written unclearly.
Like that. its in this thread here- http://guildwars.incgamers.com/showthread.php?p=4887491 post #8

You can get past them if you take deaths charge as 8th skill. Just put up Armor of mist and burning speed and teleport to the last one. You'll get hit but won't die.

OP has been updated with some minor new info, including the most effective killing order (that i've found) for those that haven't figured it out yet.

New time record=20 minutes including run to plains.

I think the idea was just to show the run to the Plains, the killing is pretty easy.

What do you guys bring, weapon-wise?
Any specific weapons that you need to bring other than the 20% enchant?

Anyone whose having trouble with behemoth spawns:

[skill]Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support[/skill]

Rank doesn't matter, you just summon him to trip a bad trap spawn, and then pass by safely yourself.

The first group of Charged Blackness you meet are the ones that come down the hill. All you need todo is wait and they'll go back up... Soon as they go just run for it. If you're getting charged blcknesses blocking the enterance to the plains it means you're taking too long to get up the mountain.
