I've just tried this build and it works like charm.. as long as I position myself right.
..if I don't they'll start scattering and I won't kill a single one.
I'm yet to figure out where the best spots are tho.

When my Bonetti's goes down i die... How can i get rid of this?
Skinny Corpse
It usually last until VwK is almost recharged for me.. are you sure you're not
using skills while Bonetti's i up? Cause that shuts it down prematurely.
I kinda learned that the hard way.

After not much of a success (1 gold every 5 runs) I had one really great. 3 golds + ele sword
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...entalsword.jpg
The ele sword is req.12, lightning dmg, hp+29, dmg+15%(while enchanted).

Well, I've been playing for 9 months, but never got a vampiric axe drop + I don't play pvp.

scatter really isnt problem at all if you use radiation skill. beside only 3 attacking at a time after they scatter means less interupts and less damage taken if doing it W/Rt

Since my Req 13 i have gotten 2 more required q10 and q11, turned the q13 into my Monk farming sword and gave my Jora the q11

i started doing this sinse the weekend event started. i have gotten 13 picklocks, 1 ele sword, 2 greater sage blades, 6 turtle shell longbow, greater glyphic maul, 4 pirana hammer, 1 pair of sais, 1 stilletos, 3 split chakrams, 2 savage daggers, 2 greater jagged axes, and 3 great conch shields. these were all gold and i only did the run for about an hour. i also have tons of the special holiday items.

There's a video of this run, how cane people have problems, what are people having problems with?
Should another problem specific video be made?

if they're scattering too much, lay off the ancestor's rage. it causes them to scatter when it hits so don't use it if you're not comfortable with how they react. they scatter slightly with VwK but a few tugs along the wall and it shouldn't be a problem. also you shouldn't be dying... well except a freak accident. it's just VwK, dolyak when it ends, a few venegful BEFORE you throw up bonetti's and then just sit there and hit wary/VwK again when they're recharged. I do recommend to learn to watch your energy to know what the next best course of action is though. farming may seem braindead but the more you know about your skills the better you can handle the situation.

if you have problems with this run just don't do vwk,
theye way more efficient builds

ahhhhh this is so annoying....no wonder i gave up on farming for profit.
just did 20 runs and got 1 gold req 13 crappy skin, 4 grapes, 14 whites, and 2k, 16 saurian bones, 2 hunter ales.....
and then you look at this guys 1 run......
some people in game are saying this has been nerfed and ele sword prices will now shoot up. Are they talking crap or...?

I'm making a few runs (5-10) each evening there, golds drop as usual since 2 weeks or so. So no, it's not nerfed yet...if we're speaking in terms of generic gold drops.

My runs looked like the runs in the screenshot for the first few hours, then they spiked down. It's just a matter of overfarming. Sometimes, taking a break and doing something else like an HM mission then going back will improve your drops (Happened to me over the Thanksgiving event).

Everybody's screenshots look nicer during the events, due to the non loot scaled event items. The drops don't taper off, you just get a couple bad runs, get frustrated, cuss anet, blame anti-farm, go do something else and come back and wallah, you get a couple decent runs in a row and think you were right in your assumptions.
This hasn't been nerfed yet.

Im having lots of fun with this farm using the vwk averaging 1-2 minutes. last night i had a run with 3 golds and a white dye which was pretty good. Haven't gotten an ele sword yet from farming the nestlings but i got one from a chest in the same cave...weird. Probably done about 335 runs approx. lol Its been good for the honeycombs and ale also
Memphis Rain
I've been doing this run since GWEN first came out with my ele, switched to W/Rt after HM came out. I did this run consistantly for the last 2-3 weeks, altogether got about 70 Greater Sage Blades and 80 Great Conch dropped and 5 Saurian Scythes from the locked chest that spawn inside the cave from time to time, and finally last night an req9 Elemental Sword dropped. Seems the drops are better certain time of the day, during peak hours (around 7pm) the drops are pretty crappy, 1 gold every 3-5 runs and during early morning hours (2-4am) the drops seem to be better, often I see runs with 2-3 gold drops plus lockpicks. Too bad the Elemental Swords have dropped in price quite a bit, but think I'ma still keep doing this and stack a few more.
IlikeGW
the swords are heading for a huge crash, the market LA is flooded with 9's and 10's already

I've been farming raptors ALOT with my elementalist, and it pains me that prices of elemental swords has dropped so much since this farm came out. It can be difficult to sell a q9 for as low as 50k :/
But it still is a pretty decent farm, i usually find about 25-30 golds in an hour and i get alot of mods to sell from those, find quite alot of white & black dye as well.

Lots of white and black dye? Really?!? It must just be you.
I've done close to 500 runs with my warrior and ele and still havent got an ele sword to drop.
Plenty of junk golds that I cant sell that I end up salvaging for perfect mods or selling to the merchant usually. 4 Elite Sin Tomes and dozens of regular Sin Tomes. 4 Broodmother Daggers (I would probably have more Elite Tomes and Daggers, but I just started killing the boss with my Ele. Most of the runs are with my warrior.).
Best drops are from chests so far. 2 req9 Saurian Scythes.

Are the Ele Swords dropping from the Boss, the Nestlings, or from the chests?

The Nestlings, from my own experience. I have heard but cannot confirm that the chest that spawns in the cave reveals them too.

Sliver pwns the boss in 10 seconds or less, then you have the opportunity to recast Shadow Form since skills reset instantly after the boss is dead. I use a Totem Axe to hit the Broodmother so she doesnt run away.

in just using the pvxwiki A/E build on my ele (making it E/A of course) I've gotten 6 +5energy inscriptions, 6+ 15^50 inscriptions, 5 19% enchant sword mods, enough golds to get me to rank 3 of wisdom, and 4 ele swords... All runs that I do, assuming i don't get killed on the way, take a grand total of 1min in the area, from re-zone to re-zone. Unfortunately the ele sword has gone down to such a low price that it's almost not worth the farm other than holiday items (made over 100 beer and 50 honey comb last night 
). Wonderful farming 
). Wonderful farming

This farm only seems worth it only when event items drop.

Most of my runs net me with 2-3 rares (sliver build), and the run takes about 1 minute. Each rare could be sold for 1k, so thats a lot if i would actually sell the unid rares.
