Hi
I saw the other thread about worm farming,and saw that worms are a great victim for Hm/survivor farming.I just found a new spot that can compete(and that maybe even is a bit faster)than the other spot(they don't burrow).It contains 10 worms and takes 4-5 mins to clear instead of 10-13 in 8-10 mins.
The run is quite easy:you start from Umbral Grotto into Verdant Cassades,you will find some arogant norn there,accept his quest(this is needed to flag the worms aggresive) and follow him to the wormspot:
map:

green dot:norn
green:5 worms
purple:5 wurms
you can use almost any build from every proffesion, with just a little selfheal in it, i used:

Just a build i made up in 2 secs so it can probably be done faster,and ranged classed don't even need a self heal.

This run is mostly good for the exp(10000 in 4-5min with scrolls) but the drops arent bad either:
.
that would be all

You killed noob worms and got about 15k, I've killed a boss about 100 times to get an ele tome worth about 11k. I should try this

Worm farming is where it's at for Survivor atm. (much more interesting than FFF)
The drops are decent as well.

If they don't burrow, nuking them is way too easy

Stick Out Tongue

,but a bored survivor is always better then a dead one

.

Sorry I couldn't post builds for other proffesions as my warrior is my only main,but here are some ideas for other proffs.
monk-55SV
nec-55SV
mes-anything anti-melee(inteptitude,empathy)
rit-Vwk
para-loads of spear attacks+agresive refrain
assa-critical defense+loads of dagger attacks?
ranger-no idea,burning arrow?
elle-mind blast nuker+Aoe
dervish-no idea,but basic build with a little self heal can do
feel free to post your own builds.
edit: on a ligher note:

Tried this last nite :
first with my paragon, and got 1 gold 3 purples in her run, the switch to rt and on her run, got purple item and black dye.
good drops for 2 runs.

Used para with aggressive and spear attacks + brutal weapon.
Used rt with Spirit's strength and spear attacks .
later ill try with my necro using death degen+damage.

Uhm. Those wurms are rangers. So use spells that damage over time or degen. I think they have shortbow range...

I farmed this for about 2 hours, only got 1 lock pick, 1 gold, and 2 purple. Hardly worth it, considering I normally get 2 golds per run on my Stone Ele farm.
