I know many of us are just twidling our thumbs till the release of Factions so I found something challenging to do till then. Try and farm Ember Light Camp solo or with a 2 man crew. I have been doing this the past week and the drops are not that great BUT at least it's challenging. Idealy to make life easy on yourself you would bring a Mo/N to heal and protect you from the poison once the Death Novas go off <Tainted Flesh>. For this to be successful you will need to swap weapon sets while in the middle of a battle so have a -2 dmg shield and axe/sword with a 18-20% enchant mod. This is the build that I use to farm them.

E/Me

Earth 12 + 1 + 3 = 16
Energy 11 + 1 = 12
Inspiration = 6

Obsidian Flesh {E}
Archane Echo
Channeling
Aura of Restoration
Kinetic Armor
Armor if Earth
Aftershock
Crystal Wave

How To:

When you first enter let the first wave of Hydras and Flesh Golems pass then sweep around the left side to the top of the mound. Have your shield and axe/sword equipped at first. When the group of around 15 hydras and golems get close cast in the following order. Channeling, Kinetic Armor, Archane Echo, <re-position yourself as close to the front of the main mob as possible> cast Obsidian Flesh, <Aggro>, Armor of Earth before you lose your Kinetic, once you have the majority of the mob cast Aura of restoration. If possible wait till you get ALL of the flesh Golems around you, if not you will have to contend with 2 seperate poisonings. Now hit Aftershock, Crystal Wave. This first process will take about 15-17 seconds. Now recast Obsidian Flesh before the Echoed Obsidian Flesh runs out. From here on out just cycle Aftershock, Crystal wave. Save the recast of non damage spells till they start blinking or when you get poisoned...you will need the health boost from them when you are poisoned. The entire mob of 15 or so should be almost dead by the time Obsidian Flesh flashes again. Before this flash switch to your Galigords Stone Staff for the 20% of halving the recharge time. Once cast switch back to your shield axe/sword combo. By now you should be able to Archan Echo a Crystal Wave or Aftershock. In any event the Flesh Golems will be dead right after this Echoed cycle. You will be poisoned here if your going solo. A Mo/N could cast tainted flesh and Healing Breeze right before the Golems die. If no Monk this is where you use ALL of your other charged spells to self heal till the poison wears off. Sometimes the Hydras will all be dead at the same time but not always, if they are still alive just contend with em...if you didn't get the fast recharge then just run around for 5 seconds till Obsidian Flesh is back up then finish em off. Also with the armor buffs up and the -2 dmg shield you will take ZERO dmg from attacks.

So the monk or necro is there simply just to cast tainted flesh and healing breeze near then end of the battle. Just make sure they stay back as to not break your aggro cause the hydras break off aggro REAL easy. Also have the monk cast smiting spells like retirbution if possible on you. Nothing that scatters foes though. After the first group just work your way around Ember. When in small mobs the Monk is essential to keeping you alive since your energy is low...if you can bypass small mobs then do so. The process is slow but is do-able...just aggro large mobs or you will not have enough energy to survive. BTW your will eventuallly get a few gold drops. I got two fairly good gold necro staffs and a rare skinned gold flame artifact =). Good luck.

Hi

Rather than a monk with tainted, why nto grab a monk with ss on them? a All you have to do is tank, and they deal the damage, nice and easy to do, pity the drops are fairly crud

A guildie and myslef went, guildie played an SS and a Mo/N. The SS didn't do much for some reason. The tainted flesh is to keep me from being poisoned from the death novas. I do tank but have 2 extra skill slots so i do damage. Plus damage is a requirement if you are soloing =)

I can solo Perditition Rock with a warrior. It's pretty easy, just use a riposte build with Plague Touch then you're golden.

Yeah but that's with a warrior...this is for an ele =). IMO warriors in general have a much easier time soloing the game.
