Curse

I have been using a barrage ranger with summon skills or a dervish with a mesmer secondary and hex breaker to farm singed gargoyle skulls outside of Nolani Academy to get spiked eggnogs when wintersday comes and I'm not sure if I'm getting what would be considered an "efficient" run, I have a character of all 10 professions. Usually I can clear all or nearly all of the gargs with a yield of about 12-25 skulls in 15-20 minutes. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing a build that they think may be more efficient.

[build prof=E/A fire=12+3+1 deadly=10 energy=8+1 shadow=2][Aura of Restoration][Death's Charge][Assassin's Promise][Flame Djinn's Haste][Flame Burst][Liquid Flame][Mindbender][Fire Attunement][/build]
I generally use this. I got sick of being slowed with Imagined Burden, so I decided to give shadow stepping a try. Also, you can cut a few corners here and there by shadow stepping up or down cliffs or thru hills. The cycle is Death's Charge, Assassin's Promise, appropriate nuke, pick up drop(s), repeat. You ought to be able to shave a few minutes off your best time with this, something like 12-14 minutes.

There was also a build on the forum some time back, which featured Vengeful Was Khanhei and Quickening Zephyr. I can't remember the exact build but it sounded quick and might be worth looking up.

I use the following one
[build= OQdUAwh45vO4uFoWbH5AHhIwGI]
you could go hexbreaker I guess over dark escape, but hex eater signet is good enough with AP

This build is INSANE!! I love it!! thank you all for your ideas, I'll probably use several of them and I think now is a good time for this thread so people can throw around ideas considering that these titles (Ale Hound, Sweet Tooth and Party Animal) take such a tremendous investment in time and/or money.

hehe thanks, I guess I'm kind of insane and like to think out of the box

for last wintersday I stocked up on around 3500 skulls, and gathered around 7 stacks of spiked eggnogs that I sold for a hefty sum

edit : being level 20 on those low level monsters is fun because you can generally one skill kill the resurrect gargoyle with 3 or 5
and any other gargoyle with 3 + 4
