W/Mo

Attributes:
Strength - 14 (+3 from rune)
Tactics - 15 (+3 from rune, +1 from helm)
Healing Prayers - 8

Equipment:
Best would be full knights armor with tactics helm.
Zealous sword
Any hammer will work
-2/+45 while enchanted shield

Skills:
[skill]Gladiator's Defense[/skill]
[skill]Riposte[/skill]
[skill]Deadly Riposte[/skill]
[skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill]
[skill]Renewing Smash[/skill]
[skill]Healing Breeze[/skill]
[skill]Mending[/skill]
[skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill]

The minos you want to farm are outside of Ice Tooth Cave. (Make sure you are in hard mode):

To start leave Ice Tooth, cast mending and balth spirit. Aggro a group of minos (as many as you can get on you) then cast dolyak>breeze>glads>deadly riposte>riposte. When glads def runs out, use renewing smash.

In groups larger than 3 make sure to keep breeze up at all times.

It takes about 20 minutes, and I get about 2.5k per run, its not great, but is the best I have found so far.

Here is a pic of the drops:
Enjoy

not to hijak the thread, you can also 55 these guys using any of the generic 55 builds to farm them.

I used a 105 SS necro build first. This is a little faster, and you can kill the boss, who usually drops a gold with this build.

Nice build. Not a big fan of glads defence though. Gonna try a triple chop build, tell you how it goes.

This is a build I used on griffons, the only difference is I switched out "watch yourself" for renewing smash.

Can we please get griffon farming back now that loot has been nerfed?

Standard Triple Chop build works great here. OP, do you have a map of the farm?

Added map to original post.

Since this is such an easy farm, I give it a week before it is infested with bots.

Looks interesting. Looks like the first HM Warrior farm I might be able to do.

The reason I like this build is because it can kill the boss, and he usually drops a gold or a tome.

It takes me about a minute to kill him, it does not take long if you spike him with riposte and deadly riposte.

I also recommend a zealous sword, it is the best way to keep your energy up.

yeah 55/SS
boss can take a while though. about 1 min,
a mob of 5 only takes about 10-20 secs and they scattered

ok I spill a little secret, you can "newage 55" the minos, just switch the mes skill for echo, echo your SoJ and its as easy as standing around. but make sure you watch the 20sec couter orelse u'll lose the extra SoJ

If your slack or just wanna see these horn headed @#$%!@ drop fast just take a hero ranger with brambles! the added bleeding is awesome.
But remember Heros don't share!

on day I'll learn to type in english!

What would your average Ele Build look like for this area? The Average Ele Build is a PvE build that people use it groups that is often very uneffective, uses great deals of fire and has a player using the wrong weapon.

Creatures in HM have the best AI available, or so Anet says . . . so when you aggro a bunch of them and start to SS, do they still scatter? Or do you have to take them in smaller mobs? I have a necro and warrior to try this farm, Ill try asap. Thanks for the tips.

They scatter for me, but I eventually take them out. I had some trouble taking them out at first, but after a little bit I got it (I saw the skill usage thing in order in your post). I've made 40k from the tomes so far

I gave the W/D Solo UW build a go out here. Mainly because i couldn't be arsed to change anything major. Cept i switched out Rending Aura for Endure Pain and boosted Strength to 16.

Worked pretty well. Could take down fairly large mobs of Minotaurs with ease due to the 80 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 42 armour vs Physical damage. I took the Warrior boss down to pretty low health... but then it started using Healing Signet and i couldn't power through it. I could probably tweak it slightly by removing Enraging Charge (Endure Pain was really needed in extremely large overlures like the large 1 outside the Iron Horse portal) to be capable of killing the boss, but i'm not sure how yet ^^

Drops were absolutely awful though...

I tried this like 2 hours after HM came out with my 55 monk. Easy farm, lots of golds, but nothing good. I got like 3 bad golds a run (Merched). My build for anyone interested:
PS
HB
SoJ
Arcane echo
Blessed signet
Mending
Blessed aura
Balthazar's spirit

You could probably remove blessed sig for ignorance to kill the boss.
