maybe you should try posting your build and asking people to help tweak it

I don't see a drake farming build on pvxwiki.

quest Dervish boss has Test of Faith, a few drakes have Earthquake, and some have Mind Shock on HM. Definitely make sure you're packing IAU/Balanced Stance/Dwarven.

You have to bring Koss hero, plus yourself. So there's two different builds. What's your main / build (also a warrior)?

Should be easy to come up with something. This does seem interesting enough that I may play with it at some point.

Is this in order to farm the furnace drake for shards / shadow bows?

EDIT: EZPZ with spirit spammer, koss (100b), a minion master and a healer (self + 3 heroes). I was unfamiliar with quest, so just ran it. The NPC Wekesha tends to outrun the party at times, but stays alive and tanks fairly well... No drops of note, other than 1 chunk of drake flesh...

The reason I always farmed them was for req 8 16 armor shadow shields of tactics,command,str,motivation, and even more so trying to get a req 7 15 command shadow shield for my para.

If I remember correctly they use to be farmed with a stoneflesh barrage build on rangers and I'm sure with the current SF it would possible to do something relatively easy solo to take them out. Taking heroes is a big waste of time if your looking for drops like I was and the rate of shards is way too low to make it worth it for that.

I think a spirit spammer build may work, perhaps with ebon vanguard assassin support to distract them. Just flag Koss away at the entrance.

EDIT: Ayup, spirit spammer worked like a champ - flagged Koss immediately south. It took 8 minutes to farm to the finale. I was being overly careful, killing all drakes on the way. I let Wekehsa die/stall at those two groups, that you can avoid by going to the south.

You should be able to cut it to 5 minutes or less (bypass early drakes, using Koss as a decoy). FWIW, Koss gets magically resurrected multiple times, early on...

Assassin/Rt (Any/Rt):
[build=OwhiAyiM5DWOdNtLWNBN5KyMBA]
channeling=12, communing=12
[vampirism][bloodsong][signet of spirits][ebon vanguard assassin support][painful bond][armor of unfeeling][snow storm][spirit siphon]

Might be worth bringing [disenchantment] instead of [ebon vanguard assassin support] also...
