Hey all. I was reading the dye drop thread, and the discussion lead to many people claiming high drop rates from Gates of Kryta hellhounds etc. So, i proceeded to want to try the run. It took me a little while, but i came up with this:
W/Mo
Triple Chop {e}
Cyclone Axe
Bonetti's Defense
"Watch Yourself!"
Judge's Insight
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
Balthazar's Spirit
Attributes:
Healing: 10
Smiting: 8
Strength: 7+1
Axe Mastery: 10+3+1
Tactics: 4+1
Equips: Full Gladiator's for energy, Executioner's Helm
Any max dmg axe will do, i use a Victo's Battle Axe
Any max armor shield will do, i use a Tanzit's Defender
Usage: this build was tailored specifically for farming this area (by yours truly XD). It is meant to take advantage of triple chop's and cyclone axe's AoE and create a defense from it, by utilizing what i call Vicarious Spirit, which consists of the enchantments Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit to gain a healthy sum every time you hit a foe with an attack. In addition to the Vicarious Spirit combo, this build takes advantage of the stance Bonetti's Defense to alieve oneself of melee pressure and to regain energy, and of Watch Yourself's armor bonus. Finally, this build would hardly be effective without Judge's Insight, which makes all damage you deal holy damage, thus making it super-easy to kill mid level undead.
The Run:
1: after zoning use Balthazar's Spirit, wait for regen, and use Live Vicariously
2: go to the farmers who are runnning towards you, and use Judge's Insight and Vigorous Spirit to take out the first group, then as the second group comes in use Judge's Insight again and finish them off.
3: go along the path behind the building Oink is in front of, and get to where you are almost agroing the Hellhound
4: use Vigorous Spirit again, and agro, running to where the Hellhound was before you agro'd, assuring that you do not get stuck on the slope
5: When the 4 Grasps come up, use Judge's Insight and kill them all. This will trigger the "event" and approximately 25-30 Hellhounds, Grasps, Warlocks, Rangers, and Mesmers will be agro'd to you.
6: Rebuff with Judge's Insight and Vigorous Spirit, and regain any energy with Bonetti's Defense.
7: Kill the melee monsters until you can move mostly freely, and make your way to the large group of ranged attackers, while keeping yourself alive with Cyclone Axe and Triple Chop
8: Once adjacent to the large group, keep Judge's Insight and Vigorous Spirit going, and in less than 3-4 Cyclone-Chop cycles, all the monsters will be vanquished.
That is the run that i have done many a time without fail, but there are other places you can go to get another large group in the same run, but i prefer to just do the one and then go back to town and sell/salvage my stuff.
I hope this works for everybody and i hope they have lots of luck with it.

Wow. way to be a year and a half ago. Also : you dont need bonetti's or Watch Yourself whatsoever. You should replace those with Sprint and Healing Breeze.
