Found a good way around it. I was using monk primary. So, jacking up curses to 12 lets Spoil Victor do it's magic. Dude, even the AI know to move out of AOE spells

I've been doing this run for quite some time. Got a req. 9 ages ago, sold it off cheap, and never had any more luck until this morning (or was it last night? I can't really recall), when I got three (though to be fair, one was a drop from a Titan I killed).

Now the trick is, selling them off before the prices plummet too much further.

When you see the water titan use glyph of energy, you know that maelstorm is next, I usually cast ps and hb so I can just stand in the maelstorm and recharge all my energy back up before the next cast. If not, just simply move you of the way.

As for rotting titan, before aggro, make sure you ps is recharge, and as soon as you aggro him by putting SV on him, look for him to cast lingering curse, so you can immediately cast ps, then just recast all your enc and you survive.

On the side note, not worth the time farming, you can earn more in other farming.

The AI doesn't use the AoE damage like I do. Like the others mentioned, the energy gain from standing in the AoE radius is great. My problem was not having enough points in Curses.

Can the attitude.

Ofcourse it's not nerfed, there is no reason to bump this.

The chest still spawns, I don't think it drops Magma's anymore though.

People like the shield and constantly ask about viable farming options...tis my guess as to why it was rezzed.
