Though reading through this I might be tempted into dropping MoR for Distortion. I'll have to try it out tonight. In the last 24 hours I have made ~500k xp (35 skill points) running the same build as you, subbing MoR for Distortion.

Loving Distortion! Good find!
Amity has its downside too. If you "turn off" all of the Shiro'ken then you may die to bleeding or to them using non-attack skills (healing skills) as they mob around you.
I've found I need to leave a few rangers in the back plinking at me in order to be able to survive with Amity up. I need that energy.

That is like asking the sun not to set. It won't happen. Get in there an abuse it as much as you can before it gets hit with a nerf.
EDIT: One other thing... why do you think this would get a nerf when the troll cave is still going strong?

Thanks for posting this, it's a fun farm, although monotonous. I can see it getting nerfed very soon so let's enjoy it whilst we can.
I actually only looked at the thread after spotting the huge amount of me/mo & mo/me piling out the door (mad king george being one of them I noticed
), I knew something was going on. 
A warning though, if you do a lot of runs fast you WILL trip the farming code.....as I found out. For the record, I used /resign after each run.
I'd suggest at least running up past the res point and trying to kill a few things up there every few runs, just to mix it up a bit.

I have tried it, It is less effecient at getting gold then my Ele mino farming mentioned here (more info here) and slower at gaining exp for mesmer (I think) then the echo SoJ build I use for minos. I havent tried spirit bond builds before but I think I prefer 55 breeze/ps. I understand 55 doesnt work here, if the goal is to farm Shiro'ken and not get money/exp fast, I'd say this would be ideal. I wish I knew about this last spring when I needed soul stones for some collector items.
Edit. I may as well try a bit more. I am thinking about doing profitability reaserch for various farms to determine gold/rare drops/time ratio, I am in search of THE most profitable farm that doesnt require favor (America FTL AGAIN >_< ).

I played with guardian a bit to prevent interrupts with mixed results. Phantasm seems to speed the deaths of the rangers when I pull the melee types close, but it's not sufficient to kill on it's own. I wonder if nightmare might work when there are enough warriors and assassins providing energy.
At any rate it's an interesting build, and another case of rangers spirits causing problems for and killing their teammates. I wonder if an eoe-esque nerf for is on the horizon for famine.

I was thinking about that too, I like to use blessed aura for 55 echo SoJ mesmer, the difference between +20% and +30% is substantial however for Spirit Bond I believe the 1.6 (+20%) gets rounded up to 2 (10 seconds total) while the 2.4 (30%) gets rounded down to 2 (still 10 seconds). PS gets a 5(4.8) second boost with 30% at 9 prot(21 seconds total), so it might be worth it.

i dont get it,what causes them to die?

famine lolz

Golden P Blades FTW!!! they drop em all the time! this is wicked!!! nice!!
Diablating shot, or what ever can be annoying, how u get around it?
Energy +5 GPB!! with 20% enchants mod! that will come in handy for mw farming there.!

remmeh
absolutely brilliant... gotta try this.
pegasux
geez the golden phoenix blades and gloden mauls drop often here...got 5 blades and about 4 mauls already! only 1 was worth keeping though req 10 15% enchanted and a req 8 mamoth axe 15% -10 al. the average time it takes me is 2 min per run killing most of the rangers and if i'm lucky all of em. in and out the door is right under 3 min for me =). great build!
onerabbit
Is it me, or is it really laggy? when i try and lure them all, i kinda stop and start etc, really annoying. happens in fow aswell, only 2 places :\
pegasux
runs fine with me...might be your vid card can't render all the shriroken smoothly...try turning the graphics down a bit. btw just got 2 black dyes in 2 more runs =)

I'm using a GPB +5 energy, 20% enchants, but thanks for noting it, i figurede it out now, my runs are fine, just got my second GPB, 20k made so far, its really easy when u get the hang of it.
D E L E T E D
works like a charm, went with remmeh to just check it out. If you are a monk, the interrupts are kind of a bitch, but if you get lucky and dont get interrupted its all gravy.
Calahan
ultra fast farm :P thx;]
onerabbit
I have realised something, when u lure, they will use Diblating shot( or what ever)
but when uve stopped for a bit, they dont use it, so best to aggro all of them, and just stay still, my energy stays max all the time

Holy red gored engine....WTB Run from Kaineng Center to Harvest Temple ^_^;

My monk was only at Cavalon yesterday, so i had 2 faction farm 10k, then do the 2 missions which took for ever. but know im here, the payoff is huge!
Kcp
Harvest temple is an appropriate name. Wonder when the nerf hammer comes and tosses in some of them mesmers with diversion.

Most of the times the Warriors and Assassins will try to interrupt MoR or Wild Blow you out of it. While their interrupts are recharging you can usually get off an SV. Then wait. When SV is half done cast AV. The e-drain/adrenaline drain will make it so they can't interrupt AV.
Also, I never aggro the last group of Shiro'ken. I get the first three balled up and kill most of them. Then with SV or AV up I go over to the last group and aggro it. I use it as an energy engine and bring it to the left-overs from the first aggro. In this way I usually kill everything or at most leave one Assassin or Ranger alive.

Vs Debilitating shot
Just use the Terrain. Harvest temple is kind of a big spiral.
You can pull the rangers against the wall and walk around and they'll end up shooting the wall (a technique i use vs Avicara a lot in mineral springs...)
Then you can safely tank the warriors and sins to build up energy. Then cast SV/AV and run to the rangers

what do i do with the stones? sell em to merch, or give em to the collector, and sell that item 2 merch??
pegasux
have you guys triggered the anti farm code yet? i have and the drops are still decent...so far.
onerabbit
Nope, been doing 2 hours now, no code yet :P but my drops are getting shit, havent seen a gold in a while :\

yeah, I found out I trigger the anti farming code here way faster than everywhere else. I can farm trolls/minos for hours without anti farming code kicking in, here i farmed half an hour and it kicked in for me. the first run after that drops were doable, but the last run I got only 3 items from all of em! Guess i need to do some missions...
But respect you find this farming out!
