W/N Scourgewind farming
I have used the good ole Grenths Balance build (slightly modified) to farm Scourgewind. The ideal here is pretty basic really but can get a bit difficult at times.

The way I have done this is to pull the Rot Wallows away from the boss back toward the rez shrine. This will get the Priest there to heal you while you kill of the Rot Wallows. Once all of them are dead it is time for the tricky parts.
Right after aggroing Scourgewind hit Dolyak Signet as he will use Signet of Judgement on you. Right after that he will cast Spear of Light on you. This will be about 274dmg from those two attacks. Let him get your health as low as possible in order to get the most out of Grenths Balance. Attack him using Tiger Stance to quickly charge your attack skills. Go through the 4 hit combo (except Final Thrust of sword), but make sure to STOP attacking if he starts to cast Spear of Light unless you have enough life to take the 232 dmg it will do. If using a sword once his health is below 30% hit him with Final Thrust to get him to cast Divine Intervetion.
While he is enchanted with that you can just hit him without using skills to charge up your attacks. Once Divine Intervetion has worn off it is time to finish he him with a fast hit combo. Just remember to watch for Spear of Light and use Healing Signet as much as possible once his life is really low to keep your health up to take the powerful hits from Signet of Judgement and Spear of Light.
You could also drop one of the attack skills and either bring an interrupt for either Signet of Judgemnt/Spear of Light or Strip Enchantments for DI. It is just personal choice that I do not bother trying to interrupt Spear as it is a long enough cast time to just stop attacking and heal with either Healing Signet or Grenths. Some times Scourgewind will kill you before you kill him but not to worry as in those times I am always able to move from the rez shrine to him and kill him quickly.
Good Luck to all who go after him.
