Default HM skale farming!

As promised
This isn't a guide, really, more of a 'what would YOU do?'
This is what I tried, but I'm gonna see if my ele can make more of an impact.
[skill]Shield Of Judgment[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Shielding Hands[/skill][skill]Shield Of Absorption[/skill][skill]Arcane Echo[/skill][skill]Blessed Aura[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]essence bond[/skill]
That's what I used, which is basically a mutilation of the build I used for jade farming. Just pass the first scale group and get the second and third together, start killing. Go to the big mob (make sure you keep enchants up when getting slowed by all those eles) and slowly (it's a 1-2 minute process) aggro the entire area. Keep up your enchants, and cast echo+SoJ so you have a constant SoJ going. Energy shouldn't be a problem. Make sure you slice one skale at a time, so that they stay there attacking you.

Epic fun, gonna see if a skill set works to kill thema ll at once with my ele.

build is so old it hurts my eyes and it is much easier going monk/necro and dragging the scale to the top right corner of the upside down U shape. They get stuck and die before even 1 SS wears out which on my monk/necro is about 18 seconds.

Yeah, it's a well known farm spot, I make quite a lot of money there myself. There are lots of builds that can handle this area... nothing really new here.

Try the build out in Issnur Isles for a lot more mobs to kill and a change of pace from first city

Make a better build for it, it's not that hard.

These things do crap damage, I could probably one hit nuke them all if I figured out a way to get past all the ele and necro skale.

I thought Essence Bond doesn't give energy if you aren't taking damage?

All those little '0's are considered damage.

Essence Bond triggers when SoA reduces the damage to zero, not when SH reduces it to Zero.
