Cobalt Farming?

Has anybody thought about this? The Cobalts in the Vehjin Mines drop good loot and are worth the time but I have problems with taking them down.

Surviving is really no problem. Veil of Thorns + Armor of Sanctity + Conviction + Mystic Regeneration against the degen through fire and you can survive without problems. I just can't take them down because I don't do enough damage.

Any thoughts on this or has someone tried another build here?

I can farm Joshol Darksong with a E/W earth tank which I guess would work on any other group of cobalts...but as for Dervish farming them I'm not experienced enough in Dervishes to comment.

i can clear most of the mines with just dunkoro keeping life bond on me, however dervish boss pwns me, to big dmg, could be nicely done with prot bond, but that is another story

What attack skills are you using here? Reaper's sweep probably wouldn't hurt and perhaps another big hitter like Chilling Victory. Another valid tactic, maybe since this is only theory here, but why not stack on all the enchants you can muster from the earth line for defense and then take Mystic Sandstorm. Get right up in the middle of them and get them as clustered as possible, kite and make them chase you in circles, that usually works even on casters, Then hit the middle and release and pray it does enough damage. It might not be enough though and you could be very very vulnerable unless you could fast recast your protection enchants.

Go /Me and use Sympathetic Visage to drain their heals. Lion's Comfort relies on adrenaline, and once you eliminate thte warriors Leader's Comfort does little.

Yay, good idea, I'll try out =)

if you go to ID of jennur's horde its about 1000 E/Me running around, i wonder what build that they are runnign.

Maye you should try something Like
12+2 Earth prayers
3+1 Mysticm
12+1+1 Scythe Mastery
With the armor skills you said and VOS.
Just a suggestion

could it be that the E/me are running this build.

14 Fastcast
10 Fire Magic
Rest in Water Magic

Skills:

Mist Form - Glyph of Elemental Power - Inferno - Meteor Shower - Bed of Coals - Frozen Burst - Flame Burst - Fire Attunement

bed of coals and inferno hitting like 30 people at once will make them scatter. I was thinking earth tanking echo sliver armor.

wow. iv never thought of echoing sliver armor. i cant believe iv never thought of that.*goes to kill vermine*

Dust Cloak
Fleeting Stability
Balthazar's Spirit

Although R/D is better cause the evasion stances make the Mokeles take forever to build up enough adrenaline for Lion's Comfort.

^ why do you have fleeting stability?

Counter Blow.

not rly sure what to suggest u have high scyth mastery so u should hit pretty hard u might have to clear a slot for an offensive attack, not quite sure
