Solo Necro Farming HOTSPOTS!!!!!!
Murder In China
So that would explain it...

It's been a long time I use my 55 hp N for farming, either in a sacrifice configuration, either in a SS based build.
@ Undead Preacher : you forgot Wurms in the Desert.
Btw, you do not need to be a 55 hp char to farm with a N. I'll write a post if you want about how to farm the Prophet Path with a MM, specially the part between Amnoun and the first teleporter. I make around 2,5K each run, which takes me roughly 10-11 min to complete and 1 min to resell.

The 9 jades (armors+bows) at the start of the Ring of Fire mission. (i avoid the scary yellow floaty fellows)
It doesnt take long but isnt nearly as profitable as the conventional spots. Well, until that 500k Mursaat horn bow or Sup Absorb drops.
Until then, I'll expect the few blue drops, a few purple drops and handfulls of purple armors to keep coming my way.
Next, to figure out those Mursaat.
Edit:
The 9 jades take ~5mins to kill, follow with a glorious assault on the mursaat (where you die), and enter mission again. ~7-10k per hour including selling the drops. Lots of blue and purple Mursaat garments/bows/hammers and the odd gold, not to mention 100+xp per kill.
Getting the mursaat along with the jades would be nice, but energy denial from the mes's makes that tricky. Might try to drag the jades along to the fight, for their bashy, energising goodness.
Editx2: Sped things up a bit with the jade. Avoiding the large group of mursaat, run and aggro all 3 groups (instead of waiting for them to patrol into your aggro), drag them back to a safe spot (right of mission spawn) and hope that they don’t spike you to 0 (lots of orison and insidious ). Also, tried using 1 jade patrol as an energy source to attack 1 patrol of Mursaat. I think its possible, but haven’t succeeded yet. The mesmers do a good job of e-denial, and heal themselves in the process. Got the ele down to 1/4 health, mes's to 1/2. The issue is a) getting the mursaat grouped enough that SS gets them all and b) getting off prot, breeze AND SS while the mesmers drain your energy and interrupt at the same time. If anyone has tried, or succeeded in 55nec solo’ing the mursaat, I’d love to hear about it.

My preference for soloing hydros is using an axe with 20% on it and soul barbs (i think)... makes the run much faster cause you always seen to get that 1 hydro that wont follow.... and u tell urself, "hes got the gold drop"... +11 dmg every hit helps alot when ur 1 on 1... i loose healing hands and take that... kind of off the topic, but helps alot... also posting on build forum...
