Default 2 man rotscale farming

this is a two man farming build you use a GB tank and a Smiter/Runner

Mo/R smiter/runner
I Use a zealots headpiece with superior smiting and a defenders head piece with superior protection(only used to put vital blessing on) so i have 16 smiting
attributes (the attributes need to be at least)
Beast:9
Smite:12
Prot:13
Divine:rest

Skills:
Holy wrath (needs to be 40-50 damage) 12 smite
Retribuition
SOJ (capped from myd springclaw in mineral springs)
Blessed signet
Run as one
Symbiosis (needs to be +100 health) 9 beast
Rebirth
Vital Blessing (needs to be at least +179) 13 prot

Mo/N GB Tank

Atts:14 prot 13 divine thats 2 minors with a prot head piece use 15 armor style from ascalon with a 30 armor headpiece costs about 1k to make armor with runes.
Skills:

Protective spirit
Spirit bond
Blessed signet
Grenths balance (capped from facet of Darkness in dragons lair)
Blessed aura
life attunement
essence bond
balthazars spirit

The Monk/Ranger runs you to Majesty's Rest. Once you get to Majesty's Rest, Monk #1 is going to put Vital Blessing on everyone so you can all run past the first group. Ok so once everyone is up last the first group that pops up, and doesn't have aggro, Monk #1 is going to take Vital Blessing off of everyone but Monk #2. Monk #1 is going to cast his enchants on Monk #2, and Monk #2 is going to cast his enchants on himself. Once Monk #1 has enough energy, he casts Shield of Judgement on Monk #2, and Monk #2 runs into all the Wraiths and spams Protective Spirit and Spirit bond, because Divine Favor will be his only source of healing right now.

Once the wraiths are dead, everyone moves up onto the bridge. Monk #2 runs just into aggro range of the Rotting Dragons and Rotscale. All of the Rotting Dragons and undead should die off pretty quickly. Once it is Monk #2 and the Rotting Dragon 1v1, the Monk puts down Symbiosis. This should make Monk #2's health go up somewhere in the 2,000 range.

Now for the fun part. The Monk/Ranger just keeps Symbiosis up all the time, and Monk #1 just sits there. Monk #2 won't be getting healed from Spirit Bond now, but it does make it easier for Monk #2 to get his health lower. , Monk #2 uses Grenth's Balance on Rotscale to do ALOT of damage, and get a full heal.

Repeat the above process until Rotscale is at about 1/5 health. From here on, Monk #2 will have to back up so Rotscale is only attacking with his ranged attack and no spells. You need to be patient for this part, as it does take awhile. From this point on the Monk/Ranger won't put Symbiosis back up. Once Symbiosis dies, Monk #2 will probably die too. Have Monk #1 rebirth Monk #2, and re-enchant Monk #2 fully. Monk #2 will then run in and aggro Rotscale again using spirit bond and not using protective spirit, so he is just using his ranged attack. Now that Monk #2 is getting healed from Rotscale's attacks, all is well, and Rotscale will eventually die.

I could've sworn I saw another variant of this build, but same wording, earlier in this forum...

Anyways, nice tweaking. I assume monk #2 has soj on him after the GB's, right?

Anyone else have success with this?

Going to try with a Mo/N and a R/Mo, shouldn't make much of a difference unless I'm misreading what he posted. Won't be until this weekend before I can give it a go, though.

How can you keep casting Symbiosis when Holy Wrath takes 10 energy away after every hit?

That is the question is it not? Perhaps they meant Retribution.

Edit: Oooops, guess not since they listed that too.

How is it with drops of the green bow? We've killed him few times this week with a friend of mine using totally different build and that damn lizard didn't drop anything, although wiki says he drops always. Weird.

I just Kill the 4 Wraths, after doing that, i'm waiting a little bit to get Mana+Health back up, then i run top of the Stairs to Rotscale to get the next group of Wraths, after doing that (hmm why do i do this? should be easier not doing so... the Wraths will come AFTER we killed Rotscale...) I Aggro all of the Rotting Dragons, Necrid Horseman etc...

No problem at all!
SoJ will bring them down pretty quickly

Nope, I think you misunderstand me. The guide says to drop PS when 1v1 with rotscale and after you have got him down past 1/5 health. I know to drop the spirirt, I do understand how the bonder build works. However I cant understand why it is necessary to drop PS. If you do you take huge amounts of dmg as would be expected and spirit bond cannot heal you. Can you please confirm why it is necessary to drop PS. Thanks.
