Looks good, My Zhed could use that staff, so I'll test it out later.
Edit.
My Attributes are set different, I think you have a few points leftover, as mine is 14 Prot, 9 Divine, and 12 Illusion.
I've found success using Vigorous Spirit instead of Shielding Hands. It helps with the Burning, and is a consistant heal.

any prot. spirit build works on him.
I used this one a couple of times tonight.
130 dervish is about 300% faster

any chance anyone knows how to solo him wiv a warrior cuz i been trying for a few days and no luck so far on teh solo.

With a Warrior use a W/N Grenths Balance build.
Kill the mob using henchies/heroes, flag them away, kill Exuro yourself.
Skills:
Grenths Balance
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet
Signet of Stamina / Endure Pain
Optional

Optional
For the optional slots use some sword attacks like SUna dn Moon Slash, Silverwing Slash and Final Trust to finish him off. Or equip both Signet of Stamina & Endure pain to maximize the G.B. effect, but the Endure Pain timing can be a bit tricky, as he attacks quite random. Always keep Dolyak up, use Heal sig when needed, no need to attack until he is on low health (as it will make GB less effective) and remember he can't bleed.
As for the OP, I also farmed him using a Mo/E Sliver build.
Protective Spirit, Healing Breeze, Blessed Signet, Sliver Armor, Mending, Balthazar's Spirit, Blessed Aura, Essence Bond.
Not really the most effective build (especially because the lack of hits you take), but I needed a quick build to get Exuro's Will for a guildy, so just threw something together that didn't require a lot of attention or timing (the burning is no problem) and well.. it works

Heh, i was farming Exuro appr. 7 times with Terra Tank, but he has dropped Will only first time...

Does flagging away work? I don't seem to get any drops.
royal mercenary
yes it does work 
but however it is still a small drop change of getting the green even in HM

This'll work as a SV N/Mo as well.. Just as long as he attacks you, which did not happen to me last night.. 
Also I think E/Mo Sliver would work better if you kill the pan titan first, as that will spawn 2 more beetles

Is Sv necro faster or 130 derv faster?

After he first uses immolate, use blood of the aggressor while exuro is attacking or on a nearby madness titan.

I killed Exuro 20 or 30 times, mainly in hard mode, before I got the staff.
He's a super-easy farm. I even capped his skill while soloing him, something I'd previously done only in the troll cave.
One tip: Reserve a slot on your skillbar for Lightbringer's Gaze!
EDIT: OK. Now I've gotten his staff twice, which makes the ratio a little better.

Okay that's pretty good, so a staff in 15-20 runs. Seeing how a run takes 2 minutes thats not bad at all.
Brega
i have been farming Exuro for a long time using an E/A build, and even in HM he is very easy to kill. If your using a silver armor based build to kill him, you need to lure over another group otherwise you lack the damage to kill him. The group you want is the rangers and mesmers behind him, as silver wont jump to anyone else.
VorianVader
Hmm tried out the Ops build, however was having problems with the burning (especially since I tried it out as 55...dont have the -20 offhand). The Mo/E sliver amor does not work effectively unless you aggro another group.
So I then tried standard Mo/D build with mystic regen, swapped out essence bond for zealots fire and illusionary weaponary for shield of judgement. Went into HM and manage to kill him without dying (3-4 times but no drop). However this is a bit slow. Any build suggestions which would make it faster?
Dont have a dervish, can try with Monk and Ele.
Thanks

Try M/N SV mate
PS, SH, SoA, SV, Wallow's Bite (dont remember exactly), Balthazar Spirit, Mending (+2 only is enuf), Bless Aura.
Dont remember the att points but 12 Blood, and other for Protection (may be 13) and Divine (may be 12). 105 is better to deal with burning (no need -50/-20 offhand).
He will be down after 2 SV, just finish him with WB.
Good luck.

I farmed him some couple of times, just to see if he would come down fast, with various builds.
Sliver, Spoil Victor, Spiteful Spirit and Shield of judgement are all possible
Probably Backfire as well. All tested in Hard Mode.
PS, Healing Breeze, (damage skill), Blessed sig, Balthazars Spirit, Essence Bond and Mending (+4 regen), (Blessed Aura for SoJ or an extra damage skill)
Spoil Victor turned out to work the fastest of them all, provided that you exchange Blessed Aura for Life Siphon. Why Life Siphon? Since Spoil Victor is conditional, if his life ends up below 85 (or whatever your SV dmg is), he wont hurt himself anymore, unless he heals above it again. Life Siphon takes care of that, killing him fast when he is below 85 hp.
I manage to kill him in 1 minute flat this way.
Sometimes when you spawn, u get killed before the screen loads by the patrol. When you get ressurected at the shrine, it is still possible to kill Exuro with DP and get his stuff.
He is also a good source for Elite Elementalist farming.

Thanks for the responses. Tried it out yesterday with 105 hp and Spoil Victor (Took Wallows bite instead of life siphon, its takes two casts of WB once SV gets him down to kill him). He drops like a rock. Unfortunately, yesterday was a bad day, nada drops in 5 runs in HM.
So I got bored and went to Fahranur as Mo/D and a boss drops its low level green on the first run

Anyone know a good farming build for this guy for an E/Mo with only Prop. and NF?

How much is this staff worth?

About 10-15K right now.

Any sensible Ether Renewal build will kill him. You don't even need any other health gain; all the pain you'll take is a bit of on-fire.
My actual build is Ether Renewal/Earth Attunement/Kinetic Armor/Stoneflesh Aura/Stone Daggers/Lightbringer's Gaze/Crystal Wave/Tenai's Crystals. The only Factions skills there are Sliver Armor and Tenai's Crystals. So sub in two other damage skills, maybe Obsidian Flame and Aftershock. It's also possible that Essence Bond/Balthy's > Earth Attunement; I haven't tested it or thought it through.
If you get body-blocked by his dervish friends the Madness Titans just back up and run around them.
One caution: There's an energy-eating domain effect, so your energy bar bears watching.

Also, because Lightbringer's Gaze isn't as armor-ignoring as advertised, it really doesn't do much more single-target damage than Stone Daggers against Exuro -- 62, vs. 44 for a Stone Daggers cast. So I'm not sure it's as valuable in the skill bar as I've been saying.
Anyhow, the build I DO use works. I just got his green for the third time.
Sorry for the confusion.

Basically it comes down to persistence to get the staff. I killed him 5-10 times and didnt get it, and I got bored. Statistically after an avarage of 20 kills you should get the staff I think. This also means u can get it after 5 or 35 kills, but that is just more unlikely to happen.
DarioLeanza
Had my 4 staffs in about 15 runs, but now he wont drop jack shit anymore. Not even a white item lol.... Think I overfarmed him a bit
