use 55 mo/me

protective spirit
healing breeze
Guardian
mantra of resolve
shield of judgment
Balthazar's Spirit
Mending
essence bond

not as fast probably, but can take on groups of 2-3 mobs... very easy too. just gotta keep up protective spirit and healing breeze

why mantra of resolve and guardian? they don't have interrupts and guardian allows them to KD you due to irresistible blow.

i didn't really think of that actually... lol. this is an old template i found that works.
hmm, i use guardian when i'm overwhelmed by minotaurs while waiting for SoJ to cool down.

Standard 130 hp Dervish works perfect here, but the drops are awful.

Edit: You can kill Dryder too, thx to 130 hp

Im finding minos ok. the boss takes ages to kill with this build tho but have had a few golds and around 10 tomes. mods seem to be much better in hard mode with a few +30 hp mods which i will sell on. current build is as folllows. it can easily take on as many minos as you want as long as your quick with the SoJ. and theres only around 3 seconds gap between SoJ ending and arcane echo then SoJ restarting. I am fiinding that the type of enemy decides the type of tome dropped as ive had 10 warrior tomes and only 1 mesmer from minos.

protective spirit
healing breeze
arcane echo
SoJ
scourged healing
blessed aura
balth spirit
mending

ive been using SoJ and leaving the boss as its taking me way too long to worth bothering with. going to try spamming banish next time i see him and see what happens there.

p.s. 55hp monk using totem axe of course.

There might be something to your class tome theory, I got a normal War tome and one gold from my first 55 run.

Awaiting the Chinese bots to storm Ice cave and Anet nerfing these guys

Anyone try the mino's outside ToA"s? Didn't they use to drop non-max tyrian sickles......

As far as I'm aware, the Forest Minotaurs outside TOA use Wary Stance. Therefore it's really annoying trying to gain adrenaline to heal yourself. Of course, this depends on what build you're actually using. They may also have healing signet, although I haven't checked. Might have a go at it later anyway.

Did 3 runs on the forest mino's, same old hide and horn drop. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Yeah that's pretty much all I was getting as well. So much for these new loot scaling rules.

Not that nerfing would make a whole lot of difference, the drops aren't that good anyway.

Only did one run on the ice tooth minos. One war tome and the rest was crap. I might try later out of boredom.
