This might be common knowledge already, but I'm trying to give something back after leeching information and ideas from here.
After following the excellent guide doing Sskai and farm-code kicking in on me, I got bored and changed areas to find something else to hunt. Since my Necro needs a new weapon and the Stonereaper sounds pretty nice I decided to go and look for Craw.
I found him quicky, he's laughable easy.. and he dropped me the weapon on the first kill.
Since he's no warrior, I'm not using swords & ripostes, but an axe, collectors shield with +health/-2 when hexed and the following skills:
Executioners Strike
Disrupting Chop
Flurry
Endure Pain
Sprint
Healing Sig
Dolyak Sig
Grenths Balance {e}
Attributes:
Strength: 11
Axe Mastery: 10
Tactics: 15
Not perfect prolly, but it works nicely.
Where to find him:
Start out in Altrum Ruins, take the exit to Arborstone. Go through the gate and turn left following up the path. You'll run into a group of wardens (1 on the map) and traps that'll cripple you. Just keep going until you're through all traps, slap on dolyak and wait until crippling is gone (heal inbetween if you have to). Once crippling and dolyak has worn out, Sprint away until you lose aggro.
When you lost aggro, head for Craw Stonereap (2 on the map). You won't need to use Dolyak here, just whack away at him and let your HP drop below 100. Once below 100, hit Grenths Balance. Repeat this 2-3 times and he'll be dead. He's using Defile Flesh (I think) where he'll Sacrifice 20% of his Max Health - he'll kill himself usually.
Use disrupting chop to interrupt his Lingering Curse if you can time it right.
Made a quick video of the run, altho it wasn't a prefect run (you'll see why, I almost died at the end) you'll get how it's done.
Sorry for all typos, wrongly named skills etc, it's past 7am and I haven't slept yet :P

It's do able with a W but with a different build. Btw, I think cold damage works well against the stone bosses.
if you ever need anything in game, PM me, Ill see what I can do.
