Mr D J
Lightning mod is unnessesary if you use Judge's Insight because it transforms your damage to holy damage.
SirErnieMacGloop
I've been on and off again running out to Rotscale and the area around statue since last fall, some good drops but mostly garbage. I kill all the undead in the area for rare crafting materials and dust.
my skillbar: riposte,deadly riposte,holy strike,stonesoul strike, SoJ,sprint, batlth's spirit, healing sig.
attribs: (3 sups) 370 health - canthan bezerkers armor,Kanaxai's edge, endgame str shield
smiting-12
sword-9
strength-9
tactics-14
all of these skills can be used while blind, i hit SoJ before aggro'ing Rotscale that way it can't be interupted. About 2-3 min to drop him with this build, and still be able to kill all the other mobs in the area very fast.

Well, my build takes about 30-45 seconds to take down the Rotscale and its much less energy heavy.

i cried, this was before factions of course
Connor The Bomber

Mr D J
The Rotscale is marked with a red dot on the map. I drew the path to follow from ToA too.

@ mr dj: I know that judges converts the dmg to holy...BUT here's what guildwiki says: wiki says: Undead creatures take double damage from holy damage and light damage.
this would make judges unneccesairy, and replaced with let's say disrupting shop? I've had it more then once that i interupt his first heal area, and 5 seconds later , he spams it again, and my disctracting chop hasn't recharged, that's just realy ARGL !
I've got my final exams for school, so I only used my new axe 3 times....I'm not playing for the next 2 - 3 weeks, so I can't tell you what the dmg would be without judges and just with the shocking mod.
But i'm thinking of making a more detailed guide after my exams, a real step by step ( not that yours is bad ! ). I hope you don't mind about that ? ( if you wanna help me, i'd be honored
)
and I just realy want to thank you for this great guide ! I've done nothing else since I read this, not just for the loot, but it's a great way of farming

this would make judges unneccesairy, that right there makes no sense.....

Light damage isnt lightning damage cheese so you need judhes or just prepare for a long bash
Mr D J
Ok, here's the hint. Mod your axe with fiery hilt. They take double damage from fire weapons and if Judge's Insight runs out, you will still be doing a lot of damage.
oHcHeese
hmpf, I feel ashamed right now ><
oke, so if I put a fiery mod on my axe, then he still would take double damage ? in that case judes wouldn't be needed hard ? the 20% Armor penetration is a handy bonus, but the 20% deathbane/skeletonslaying would make that no big problem I think.

hmmm, that rotscale isn't as good as a normal lv.30 in my opinion, he is more like lv.22 in my opinion, not even close to the fow dragons on lv.30 so.....dunno why he's lv.30
Zephyr Jackson
its like when we reach a year older we grow a level, therefore when they get to higher levels their start to wind down in their strength/agility when you hear glint talk doesnt she seem old, in fow i can explain, they are driven to travel the uw to make sure they are the only one who gets the shards. that consumes all of ther thoughts so they dont really consider getting older...
that just came from the top of my head

I'm not sure about fire damage and I gotta try it out but I think it might replace Judge's
Tonepalu
Is this Rotscale even a boss? Someone oughta try capping from it to see, if it isnt a boss then that'll explain why its so easy to kill. I've noticed he doesnt have a monk bosses blue aura.
Mr D J
Well... look like they nerfed my precious rotscale... damn you anet O.o

I also like to take a smiting build when soloing Rotscale. It’s something like this.
Healing= 8
Smiting= 12
Axe= 9
Tactics= 8 (I believe I have a superior rune and a tactics helm)
Sprint
Healing Sig
Healing Breeze
Cyclone Axe
SoJ
Holy Strike
Balthazar’s Spirit
Mending (because I use a +15% (enchanted) Axe and +44/-2 (enchanted) Shield
I like it because on your way there you get blinded quite a bit, and you don’t have to see to use SoJ.
Also when fighting Rotscale, just use Holy Strike every time he gets knocked down from SoJ. You have to time your SoJ cast very well, just wait for him to shoot you with choking gas and wait for the duration to end, then cast SoJ. You don’t have to pull him from the others and that way you can kill all 5 at the same time. I think you can kill Rotscale faster with the build from Mr D J, but you will kill all 5 dragons faster with this build. .... Coupling SoJ with Holy Strike = Massive Damage. You should also see how fast SoJ kills those 30+ ghouls (just stand there)
And for the post at the beginning of this thread (somewhere), there is a place that I like to farm that has 30+ ghouls and you dont have to ever worry about getting blinded.... its fun.
Smite Hex would also be a nice skill to put in there, but I can’t remember if you ever get hexed along the way.
Not trying to take anything away from Mr. D J's build, I like it and will try it tonight.

Necrid Horsemen use Barbs, which you could smite I suppose...

Mr D J
Um, it's a green dropping boss and noone can solo it now... for now at least... Rotscale is surrounded by lvl 24 dragons, archers, necrid horsemen and many other things now and it is a necro now that uses FoC with 198 damage...
Dragonious
no way it can be soloed....feast is god

Found it really hard. Tried on my invinci monk just now, the problem is they use spells that sap all my energy which means i cant keep my enchantments up. Anyone know how to kill the new version solo?

HEHEHEHEHE well first everyone cpmplained that he never drops anything important, now he does but is almost impossible to solo, wd Anet. They just gave us another challange. Also as soon as you cross the bridge you get those raiths popping up. Is a hard fight at the moment. Hope there is a solo build for this..
Same as in Factions, I have a build that can clean all the targets away from Sunreach, but his group does not let him out of their site, so impossible to solo Sunreach for his shield
Anyway that is what makes soloing and making builds fun right, not so much the drops but the challange

I think I should delete the post... read the comments above before you post please.
MelechRic
For people who don't want to buy the bow... there's a 3-man build in the farming section of the forums:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3067433
I'd say it's worth going with guildies and seeing if you can do the farm. Also...3-man is going to be much more efficient now considering how many baddies are surrounding ol' Rottie.

I like your attitude - the only part of PvE I enjoy is soloing (or attemting to solo) tough areas that require a degree of thought and some measure of skill. I don't think I'll be able to manage this one on my own though.

LOL cheers M8,
well I'm just like that, if at first you don't succeed then I will try again untill I get it right or die trying
And at the moment I have been doing a lot of the latter part (DYING) with old Rotty
He must have a weaknes somewhere, and sooner or later someone will find it
Anyway guys good hunting
I also looked at the three man posibility, looks like it will work. So maybe ill get that down, then try a two man, then se if there is a slight gap for a solo.
HEHEHEHE there has to be one :0

well, i know with melandrus reslience warrior you can stay alive for a LONG time, i lasted 10 minutes, but i couldn't damage him :'(
Carth`
If you are having trouble staying alive in this, try getting a spirit spamming ritualist in your team, their protections are ideal for Rotscale.
Teutonic Paladin
I don't see a solo, at least not one that can kill him in under a few hours. Too many enemies... Maybe some sort of Obsidian Flesh + Serpent's Quickness + Quickening Zephyr? I dunno...
Uchiha Quartz
ive heared there was a ranger/me solo on guru though I havent found any info on it
Sir Jims
