Maybe Solo Kephret Build (can solo all scarabs but kephret)
W/Mo Axe build
First of all if this build has been posted already just flame all you want i guess.
Attributes
------------
16 ax mastery
9 healing
7 tactics
Rest on Str
-----------
*empty*
Disrupting Chop (+20 sec axe interupt one)
Penetrating Blow
Watch Yourself
Healing Hands
Healing Breeze
Balthazars Spirit
Mending
There is one empty slot that you can fill it what you want. I can kill everything including all the scarbs surrounding kephret with this build. What you bsically do is pull scarabs with a long bow and then run up with an axe to slash tme to death.
There should be around 3 of the Marrow Scarabs with one trapper/ranger scarab per group. The Marrow scarabs use a very nasty vamparic touch when their health starts dropping below 50%. this means you should NOT use clycone axe or you will be hit by 3 vampiaric touches at the same time. I normally let them use one touch count to 3-5 and use disrupiting chop and see if i get lucky to interupt. I use healing hands whenver it is recharged for energy and I also use breeze quite alot for energy. Balthazars spirit should be enough to generate a constand source of energy. Watch yourself is a great way to increase defense.
After one of the scarabs die some or all of the other Marrow scarabs should be using well of profane. I normally just interupt it with disrupting chop. If this does not work or if more than one scarab is casting just away from the dead body before the well is cast (not really hard). I then move on to the next marrow scarab and leave the nest builder for last. You can easily survive a while with your enchants stripped but since you can no longer use enchants like healing ahnds and healing breeze you will die if you stick in the well. When you recast your enchants do not chain cast healing breeze and healing hands or fast casting enchantments since the trapper has distracting shot.
This should have explained about everything up to getting to kephret.
If you want you can basically quit now and still probably earned a decent sum of money, but if you want to kill almost every scarab there it is slightly harder. Ok this part is hard to explain. WHen you see kephret you should first lure the Marrow scarabs first. After that back up and kill the groups at a distance like you did with the other groups. Once you are left with a ring of Scarab nest builders you should move in to their aggro bubble till they stop laying traps and attack you. At this point move it out a little bit and start killing it. If it is too close to Kephret and kephret uses some annoying prot spell just wait a while or start attack another nest builder (with the same method) and switch back and fourth between these two scarabs. This should allow you to clear all the nest builders except when there is only one left.
Another much more time consuming way is to shoot one with a bow for 90 secs continously. This will result all traps it had laid to have gone off and you can rush in and kill it. This works for all the scarabs. I actually sometimes do this by hitting one scrab with a bow, then hit another scarab, then return to the first scarab, then hitting the second one over and over again for 90 secs so no traps can be layed and thi sway i can kill both.
Im not sure I did a very good job at explaining since this is my first attempt.
If you are curious what i get per run I get around 1-2 golds per run and plenty of money. THis run is quite time consuming and requires patience but constantly yields many gold/purple items. I can also take on the griffons as long as screamingclaw (the monk griffon) is not present. I normally do not kill the griffon sthough since they do not drop any nice stuff anymore to my knowledge.
If someone can find some way to kill kephret i would be glad to hear what build you used.
Any questions and comments can be left on this page, Ill check it tomorrow morning to answer any questions.

What skills does Kephet use? I've never actually gone out to watch, but you said something about not being able to kill the Griffons when Screamingclaw is around, if they're similar skills then I *may* know of a way...

Hmm.. The problem about the queen is that she use some annoying prot/heal/whatever skills right? So maybe if you fill in distracting blow (the 1/2 sec cast one) in the empty slot, and then try to interupt her skills? Not sure as i have never really killed her :S (Btw any1 know the drop rate of that green item she drops it?).. Btw nice job soloing thouse spiders... They deserve it after they messed with my griffon farming spot :P

Okay well it does need to be 1 of 2 things
1) PROFITABLE(my favorite)
2) Challenging ~maybe~ but theres a lot more fun challengng places to solo farm... my favorite being UW and FoW...
but if they do have good drops looks like i'll take a stop by the desert and get me some crabs.... oh yea and when my anti-farm resets i'm back off to the titans!

Well seeing how UW can be soloed by quite a few ppl, and as far as i know then The Queen havent been solo-farmed then the queen would be more challengeing than UW ?.. (btw im not sure if queen has been soloed by any1.) Also, after doing 100 uw runs then it might be fun to solo the queen as its different than doing Uw/fow/Sf/tombs all the time.. The green staff she drops is just, meh.. and can be bought in argury for less than 5k But i dont expect that everybody will do a crapload of this runs, its just something you might do when you hang around w8ing for favor or something.. its better than sitting on the statue in ToA saying:" How many more wins for favor?" all the time xD

Ok im going to keep experimenting to solo kephret, and if you did not read you interupt well of profane with disrupting chop if one scarab is casting and rune out of more than one is casting. Farming scarabs is actually pretty profitable becuase they seem to love to drop purple and golds.

pshyical resistance has always been enough defence for these guys, they're quite easy to kkill with any build as long as you know what your doing , as for the monk boss o well thats tough work.

dont feel no pain defence is not a problem it swhen you are getting vamp touched for i believe 78 damage, thats when it starts becoming a problem
another thing DO NOT USE any conditions on the Marrow scarabs they will use plague touch+virulence which really hurts

btw the queen uses
Mark of Protection{e} <--that is the annoying skill that has ben elluded to
Gaurdian
Reversal of Fortune
Contemplation of Purity
maybe some other crap but those are the main skills
If you can live without /mo you could try and kill her with your axe skills and blackout, diversion (she will likely CoP this), any number of enchantment removal skills...
