Farming Canthas Rarest.

Even if you die at the Onis, killing the first Assasin Mob will remove your DP completely.

oh well i just aggro all assasin groups (takes about 30secs) then i run to the stairs and kill them in 12seconds. u will have left out the 4 first sins at the bridge, but its much faster. the boss is also easy just aggro to the left corner in front of the "temple" and cast ss+defile enchantments he will die in 30secs.

That's the majority of your problem right there.
Guys I said it back on page one, and Arkain said it above (with zero tact mind you):
If you have more Kurzick than Luxon faction then no matter where you die you will spawn right next to the farm spot.
So I just run into the Kraken's right outside the city to the right. Saves at least two minutes of running across the map if not more.
Great spot! I haven't been able to farm much the past couple days but I always look forward to this spot on my rotation!

I've figured out a way to mass aggro using the Mo/N build to where they don't (or very very rarely scatter ). If people already know how...just ignore me.
Go around a get all the pop ups, you can get the first 5 groups without losing aggro. Don't try to get the 2 groups past the rocks. Then pull the big group up onto one of the stair cases.
You only need to cast SS on one of the Sins, and continually attack that one Sin. The rest will attempt to scatter, but get stuck and the SS kills the whole group in one cast (hopefully). I've included some screens to show how its done.
Notice the amazing drops I got from that huge group, yes 1 lockpick from 20+ foes...I love loot scaling

Good find Onerabbit. I've had countless rare Luxon Garbs and a req.9 Communing Platinum Staff [with no inherent mod ]. Great for cloth farming too. 
I use E/Me with Sliver, EQ, Aftershock and Shockwave. Some running but they all die quickly nevertheless.

Yeah most of the time I have the same result as you, but after this run, I decided to go farm elsewhere for a while.

which kills faster, SoJ, SS, or silver armor? I should probably SoA with my ele for more tanking ability (for other areas, the E/Mes geotank is fine here). great farm, just annoyed at the walking to the place. sometimes i dont get away from oni or they spawn at diff spot =]. course same as any other farm, without exciting drops every run and doing it after a time, i get bored =/ sometimes i wonder how i farmed enough cash off old farming to buy anything lol

SS hands down.
Soj makes them hit you, get up, then hit you.
Sliver( NOT SILVER ) kills one at a time
SS takes advantage of HM's at. speed and hits all of them at the same time

Yeah SS is (imo) definetly fastest.
feelthafire
yeah if you combine ss with mark of pain then its really fast u just need 1 ss and just dmg all adjent foes with mark of pain. i have one other spell called defile enchantments it works too to finish boss or to finish assas.

reckless hate is also nice
ACreator
they already have max atack speed, and blocks arent needed so forget recless haste..

It's funny how much the loot varies from this farm. Most of the time I get a gold Luxon garb a run, sometimes nothing, sometimes more.
Then suddenly. kabOOOOM 6 golds in a row!

I used 55hp but you can do it upto 130hp depending on your Shielding Hands reduction.
I just killed individual groups since the drops seemed to be better but you can use the little stairs to block them in. The amount of time spent rounding them all up and killing them seemed to be about equal to killing each group individually. If you really wanted to use the stair trick I'd bet money you could load up a few AOE smite skills (balth's aura, Kirins, SoW) and just AoE the crap out of them. SS was working so good for me I didn't even bother trying smiting...
Also there is no run involved for me. I have zero Luxon faction and ~8.5k Kurzick faction and I just run out and die. You will spawn right next to the farm spot (bridge) on the other side of the map. I assume this is from the lack of Luxon faction or me having more Kurzick vs Luxon faction?
Now I need to get a nice Curses OH for my monk (damn you!). I had forgotten how nice SS was when soloing...too bad they scatter from SS.
can this be run using N/Mo? i'm trying it but no luck. They kill me with Iron Palm Any tips to help? Also can some one post the video? this is my first time running 55 build so a video will be a tremendous help. Thanks.

Actually it does trigger when you're using SoA, when you have Shielding Hands and Soa or only Shielding Hands it doesn't trigger

essence bond doest trigger when you are receiving 0 dmg. its the same with playing a bonder for example.only balthazars spirit triggers in that case
so when SoA is negating all dmg, you shouldnt be getting energy from essence bond (or at least in theory)

Thanks for finding this out Onerabbit,looks like a nice little farm,especially for elite tomes from the boss and chests.
For all you guys who use Essence Bond,ditch it.....Balth Spirit and Blessed Signet is all you need since u gain well over enough energy with those 2 alone.

Great farm find, I'm loving this place, very fun to kill 20+ guys at once. Btw this is by far easiest farm i have done. Takes about 6 Minutes if u do it the long way; 3 minutes if aggro them all at once. And 55 Necro is prolly the fastest.
I've had many golds drop such as:
Perfect Bo Staff (fire magic)
Req 10 Hand Axe +30 hlth
Platinum Wand
Platinum Staff
Dirks
Jade Longbow
Countless Gold Luxon Garbs/Armors
Sup Vigor
Elite Ele Tome(chest)
3 Assasin Tomes
2 Lock picks
Many Dyes (1 every other run almost)
+ Endless Grape Luxon Garbs
and thats only after 1.5 hours of farming and i havent sold anything except the sup vigor and i have gained about 30k off merching and selling gold runes.
Tyvm for posting ur find, can't wait for my Perfect Dragon Staff and Platinum Blade.

no its not only you, i just tried it. It seems SoA has different mechanics than most -dmg enchantments..

It seems that the drop rate has been "adjusted" by Anet recently.
I doubt that I am mistaking because in 20 runs I haven't gotten NOTHING. Not even a crappy gold luxon garb.
Hoarding all the assasins together seems to make the drops much worse because when you hoard them they tend to drop around 2-4 whites. When u do them individually they drop a lot more crap items.
I used to get golds on average every other run, and I'll get a platinum/dragon staff every 5-10 runs on average. All this has come to an end it seems.
If you know I'm wrong, post a screenshot of you getting more than one gold item per run dated today or later..

i only started farming this spot a few days ago and drops are pretty good, got some platinum staffs i've wanted
ibex333 -> yeah i agree with u i think drop rates have been adjusted somewhat. but getting no golds in 20 runs seems a bit harsh, sometimes i get no golds for a few runs but then get at least 1 or 2 drop soon enough. but i don't do 20 straight runs i rotate once in a while. i did get 2 gold daggers drop from hoarding the big group of sins yesterday and still get gold garbs pretty often too. next time i get a drop >2 i can take a screenshot if u really want it, but its just a bad streak i reckon.
edit: sorry but gotta prove u wrong lol. just went out to farm, nothing on first 3 runs, 4th get a gladius 5th get 3 garbs from first big group, platinum wand from second group.

Why are people still using 2 +1 energy/attacked enchantments in hard mode is beyond me.
Balth's spirits is more than enough to keep you at high energy Vs ONE of those dudes: They attack +33%, and they're assassins for C's sake.

So, they do drop from the sins.

My last run I ended up killing between 25-27 Sins.
