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.

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

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

Have you tried VoS and an IAS skill? Try it with a zealous scythe if you have one and also try a vamp and see if that works. Maybe i'll head over there and try some of my builds out.
