Energy consumption is higher when using both Vamp touches and this may hurt you more as a Monk because the damage is lower since you can't put 16 into Blood.)
Remember to always refresh PS/SB before they start flashing. In this way an interrupt of one of them will not lead to death. Of the two, PS is the most important to refresh. You can survive 8-9 hits with SB down, but one hit with PS down is usually death.

Good Build. Instead of the necro i just use my monk, cause i dont have a necro ><. It works well. Got a swiftscale shortbow. Killed the rt boss a few times no drops. Its a fun build and works well. Godo job
MelechRic
Energy management is key. Spoil Victor > Healing Signet
Credit to Mistermagoo for trying this out first.

You know in Mount Quinkai, after you kill the Ranger boss, and the Ritualist boss, keep going east (I think it's east o_O) and charge into the cave like a bat out of hell. Target the monk first, and just spam your touch skills. I brought "Spoil Victor {e}" but he just clears the hex. I found after a few applications of Spoil Victor he stopped taking it off. Keep touching and he will be dead in no time. The warrior boss right next to him is a joke XD Just as easy as the ranger boss, without the conditions.
Melkorium
On a side note you can pretty much use this build to solo the 'Night Raiders' Quest. After I killed Scalewand and Snapjaw pwned me I got tele' to the nearest rez shrine which just happened to be close to the Naga necro boss whom you're hunting.
Was no harder than Sessk to kill and then you can drop off the head after you've done a run to kill Sessk.
Quite satisfying actually

Spoil Victor is an option here, but the kill goes very slowly. Wavecrest uses Aura of Restoration so he heals himself pretty effectively. I went back for a second kill and put Soul Leech on the bar. This worked much better as it heals you and helps replace health lost when using Wallow's/Agony touches.
Be careful when starting the kill. You will be Gale locked by the Rockhide Dragons and be slowed by Wavecrest. I typically precast PS and then cast SB right before I wand one of the mob. Then I switch to my +5e sword and immediately try to refresh SB. After that I creep my way over to Wavecrest and formally introduce myself.

Did somebody say oroson is killable with this build if so how?Also just wanted to add wroths icon goes really sweet with this build!

Oroson is soloable, but it's situational. If there are too many mesmers/mages and not enough knights then you will get wanded to death. They don't do enough damage to trigger Spirit Bond. You end up dead from 20-30 x 20dmg hits.
I've actually got a Wroth's Icon on my monk. Maybe I'll try it out. Of course, you can just pop over to the Deldrimor War Camp and buy one for 1k.

Orosen is a very easy kill, you just have to have patience. All you do is zone out of Senji's corner, run to Orosen. Check out his mob, if it has more than 2 mesmers, I would rezone. The 3 times I killed him, he had 1 mesmer and 4 or 5 knights.
MelechRic
Incredibly tough and not for the faint at heart. The run is a killer and then there's the fight. Soul Leech and Vamp Touches are the razor's edge between life and death. However, it's possible. One thing worth noting is that I had an active rez shrine. I died at least once every time I attempted this. I think with practice you could (with some luck) get to her without a death.
Here are some helpful hints:
1. Shrine occupants can be used to scrape off Shiro'ken aggro.
2. Shrine occupants can be used to scrape off Carp aggro that you bring to them.
3. Bringing Carp to the shrine gets them out of your way.
4. The three assassins that pop down as you run by the wrecked boat can be outrun and led into the first Shiro'ken group.
5. Run all the way through the Shiro'ken on the upper level and then lead them back to the Outcast mobs.
6. Run all the way back through Shiro'ken again. They will break aggro as you get nearer to Kunvie.
7. Watch patrols of Carp and Squid and pull Kunvie to where I'm standing in SS. It's the only safe place to kill her.
The kill:
Soul Leech on Kunvie as soon as it's refreshed!
Refresh SB/PS before they flash!
Vamp touch sparingly and only when you know you've got enough energy for SB/PS refresh.
Good luck! I'd say this farm is hardly worth it for this build. Especially if the staff is only selling for 40k.
Remember... (value of item/time to farm it) = low in this case.
MelechRic
I was playing around with this SB/PS build last night and this morning and found you can effectively farm Might Grawl with it.
I found that by respec'ing to Curses and taking Spiteful Spirit, Reckless Haste and Price of Failure/Insidious Parasite that I had the ability to tank up to 6 Mighty Grawl at once. However, I think 4 is best since the constant knockdown spam can cause you to miss a PS/SB refresh.
The biggest problem is the run to the Grawl. Avicara Fierce (rangers) are deadly because their Dual Shot arrows do just under 60 damage. Even with the chest armor removed it's 50/50 that you'll make it to the Grawl. All other Avicara don't seem to be a problem.
No Icebreakers have dropped for me yet, but I'll post a screenshot when I get one.

Very Excellent build.
Got almost all the greens posted here within a couple of runs. Can pretty much solo all of them pretty easy(except kunvie, havent tried, but gonna get right on that).
Keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work. Thanks! Let me know how Kunvie goes for you. It was a hellish farm for me, but I did end up getting my green. It helps if you know the explorable area outside the Harvest Temple. If you've farmed Shiro'ken then you're half way there.

^^ Thanks! I'm glad to hear you liked it. Check it out on wiki too:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/N/Mo_Boss_Farmer
It's currently in the untested category, but if enough of the community like it then hopefully it will be moved to the tested/proven builds page.
P.S. What runes and attribute distributions were you using? I assume some points in healing to get mending to a decent level with a few points removed from protection. Since you're 105hp I guess you have a sup rune on all of your armor?

^^ I verified your Mending build against Wing. I actually went with a 55hp and was able to solo him several times. The first few I died, but after a while I got the hang of it.
Also, I was playing around today and found two more victims:
Rot Foulbelly and Nundak The Archer. It's a very difficult farm due to the constant knockdowns and disrupts from the Dredge Warriors in the bosses' mob. You will need the blessing from the shrine before attempting this because of Nundak's nearly constant Apply Poison spam. The good thing is that you can touch it off to both bosses. This helps loads against Nundak himself since he's got a might Troll Unguent.
EDIT: I'll post pics of the route, the spot where you should do the kills, and the dead bosses as a confirmation. I just need to get home from work to do it.

I must be doing something wrong, because I get killed before I even can touch the bosses :S

Once again, thanks for the great build How do u get to Siska? Starting from Cavalon or from Jade Flats you have to pass the patrols of carps and scuttle fishes.
I've managed avoid them only once with my mesmer, I arrived to Siska and started my dirty job with IW, no problems at all, then when the boss was nearly falling the idiot carps entered in the aggro circle and wasted all my work.
I'm thinking of doing a dual run, a warrior that cleans the way to Siska from carps and scuttles, and then the mesmer that kills the boss.

Or you can get it in the Leviathan Pits from Telamon the Weapon Crafter.
150 Granite Slabs
50 Chitin Fragments
5000 gp
I'd go with the collector. It's only 5 bone charms and Outcasts drop those like mad.

How did i get there???
I left from the jade flats, heading towards Ssyn. Turned left and then round the beach towards Siska. I find sometimes the way is clear of creeping carp, etc... and sometimes not. When i was touching Siska, no carp entered my aggro bubble. I was quite far into the beach though.

GREAT BUILD ..... i do it as a mo/n
MelechRic
Good work! VERIFIED with some modifications to the original build.
The wallows have a nasty tendency to spam low damage Jaundiced Gaze which whittles you down to zero health quickly. I basically got rid of the sacrificing touches because I didn't want to do the wallows any favors. I added Vampiric Touch/Bite which is my main form of damage after Spoil Victor no longer triggers. I also added Unholy Feast for an emergency heal if hp ever gets critically low. I seem to use it at least once per run.
Points are:
15 Blood
12 Prot
8 Smite
In my experience (6 runs) I died about 50% of the time. However, I was never forced to re-zone in order to kill the boss. Even with -15% DP he's doable.

The spawn's usually in your favour I find. Soz I don't have a screenie of a map

Meh... it's not too bad... though I did die on the first attempt and shortly after the kill.

i will never more thank the day that i decided to keep my necro's presearing armor, 5AL global ftw!
MelechRic
Well I finally got around to dealing with Siska. She's no pushover. The Wallow's Bite/Touch of Agony couldn't dent her Ether Feast. I eventually switched out to the two Vampiric Touches. The other critical thing is to move her back towards the cliff wall. If you fight her near the seashore you'll risk aggro of the carp/scuttle group and that's insta-death.
EDIT: You also need some luck getting to Siska. I typically run to her after killing Ssyn. However, there is a group of carp that sometimes blocks the way so you'll just have to check and rezone if it's in the way.

He's dead in the pic, but he didn't drop. I don't really like how or where I killed him, but I did get him.
You really have two options:
1. Kill Ssyn and head left to the shore. This is the long route and you can pick up Sisk Scalewand on the way if the carp/scuttle patrol isn't too spread out. From Siska you can go under the bridge and lure Snapjaw.
2. Kill Ssyn and head right to the shore. If you hug the right wall you may not cause the Oni mob to spawn. If it doesn't then you're golden and can lure Snapjaw up the shore a bit. The best thing to do is to keep your aggro bubble out of the Jade Sea. If it's in you risk aggro of the carp/scuttle patrol the mingles with Snapjaw's patrol.
Meh... Powerstone isn't selling well anyway.

Constructs...
The problem is the mesmers in the mobs with their diversion spam. Then there assassins that remove your enchants. Overall... instant death.
