ok anyone can take on 3 marrow scarabs and one nest scarab if they wish , you can do it easy with pshyical resistance , the trick is you:
*dont take a skills that give conditions
*you kill the nest scarab first (if you see hes set a trap lure him away from that spot and then attack)
*spam healing sigit once the marrow scarab you have been fightings health goes below 50% , they spam vampiric touch thereafter
*keep pshyical resistance up
and for the queen:
*your going to need some interupt
*skills like "pure strike" "swift chop" are very useful becuase of how they go through the queens defences
*interupt the mark of potection
*do normal hits on her reversal of fortune
its going to take skill to take her down but it has been done before so it can be done again.

I was just messing around in Prophets Path with my W/R and managed to kill all the Griffons, Nest Builders, Kephket, etc ... by myself (no hench). It took a long time, so its not like this is a farming build, but I wasn't in a rush...
Went as a degen trapper which is NOT the best way to go considering the necros inflict conditions on you, but it worked somehow. I just pulled individual mobs and wore them down with a war of attrition. Finally after getting rid of all of Kephket's bodyguards but one, I pulled Screamingclaw and a griffon to her and killed her after about 10 minutes of her annoying healing ... no staff though, just a moral victory.
Anyway, used Barbed Trap, Flame Trap, Spike Trap (E), Hunters Shot, Bonetti's Defense, Endure Pain, Healing Signet, Apply Poison.
I'm sure it will be a lot easier with W/MO. Bring Contemplation of Purity for one thing. There ARE a lot of conditions, and interrupts as well. And Kephket is a prot monk, so prepare for that.

For All the conditions you get hammered with... what do u guys find works best....
Purge Conditions
Mend Alignment
I will Survive
I tried All three in my skill bar... worked great but it really limits my other skills.. these + healing sig.... 4 slots with no offense...I also through in Watchful Spirit for the +2 health regen without any points into my monk secondary.... but then again they use well of the profane which makes this enchantment useless!
So for healing and the massive conditions I found these to work great!
1)Purge Conditions
2)Mend Alignment
3)I will Survive
4)Healing Sig
Now I need 4 more skills.... and I know I need to interupt Mark of Protection so I'm adding Savage Slash or Disrupting Chop.... so I'm down to 3 skills left.. so I need dmg without conditions or they will just use plague touch and send them back in my face....so for the last 3 I chose Power Attack,Pure Strike, and Hundred Blades... so my skill bar looks like this.... plz don't flame me, but PLZ tell me what to do to make it better
1)Purge Conditions
2)Mend Alignment
3)I will Survive
4)Savage Slash or Disrupting Chop(disables MoP)
5)Power Attack
6)Pure Strike
7)Hundred Blades{e}
8)Healing Sig
For Energy I have a Zealous mod on my sword!

How did you intend on landing hits with the queen spamming guarding non stop? Ok pure strike, with glads armor thats 5 swipes... assuming you dont need to do any of the other skills that take energy. 5 hits wont kill her, and then you have to regen the energy...(6 hits with zealous) Oh you have zealous, great, but you cant hit her half the time so who cares. -1 regen, no energy, and you cant land hits. Since you dont hit her, she heals up and continues to spam guardian. Hundred blades wont hit her, power attack either. Its like fighting those drakes at elona. They use wards to avoid being hit, so zealous is pointless. Bring pure and seeking blade, and toss in Flourish right after. Whammo, 12 energy recovered and instant skill recharge.

Um try Necro secondary and use Rigor Mortis? Works great on Sand Drakes...
Recharge sucks though
And since she's a boss there's the quick hex removal crapola. You can use that to your advantage though with say a Parasitic Bond since you're already using Curses for Rigor Mortis.

You may want to consider going as a domination mesmer, though I'm not sure how diversion works against a boss' anti-hex ability. Since it is a hex, does the disabling of a spell end early or does it work normally since it is more like the effect of a hex then the hex itself? But if diversion worked normally, you could shut down her spammable self-healers for quite some time, including her contemplate of purity which is her only real healing spell. Though getting past her bodyguards may pose a problem with this kind of build.

A few pointers.
-Avoiding conditions is easy, just don't use any on the scarbs, and avoid stepping in traps.
-Unless you're packing Disrupting Chop, interupts don't do a fantastic amont of good against the queen. CoP, and Guardian's 2s recycle speed render Skullcrack, Savage Slash, and Distracting Blow pretty usless.
-The queen is pretty bad with CoP, She'll CoP off almost anything to simply remove some posion. I think this is somewhat key unless you're using IW.

Have'nt tried using this skill as war yet but I can two man it with a freind as a tank and me as mes. Diversion works great on her because if she removes it then she has to wait to use that skill again. So you can diversion something else.
Not sure how well it would work with a warrior though. Glads armor and a 20/20 dom chackram, and adren based attacks for most part maybe?..
