Here's my N/R build for both Boss in a raw

Attribute Points
Curses : 16
Wilderness Survival : all your points

Spiteful Spirit
Price of Failure
Reckless Haste
Plague Touch
Dodge
Troll Unguent
Storm Chaser
(Empty Slot) I usually take Suffering

The first part aim at getting rid of Warden and Traps has been well explicated by Former Ruling.

Wait for Craw hiding behind the wall, launch SS+PoF+RH and Suffering, you'll just have to wait for his dead body

For the second Boss behind Craw (i dont even remember the name), the method is quite the same. Enter the water and you ll have to stuck him when he is beyond the water limit.
At the very begining, he will interrupt you many times and PoF wont works but wait for his mana lack (about 1-2min) and hit the magic trio SS+PoF+RH.

Got 2 StoneReaper in 5 run.

I can kill both the necro and the elly boss in 1 run as a A/Me or I can kill the necro in like 60 seconds as A/Mo. Just hide behind the wall.

NOT THE PILLAR! THE WALL! He wands through the pillars.

Pretty much you poke your head out, let him wand you 2-3 times, get back behind the wall, and just keep scourge sacrifice on him. When you're down to ~90-100 hp use Shadow Refuge. Easiest farm ever. Here's the build I use:

Here's the A/Mo build for just the necro:

I use ~10 smiting and 9-12 shadow mastery

Shadow Refuge
Scourge Sacrifice
Shadow Form
Dash
Dark Escape
Purge Conditions
Smite Hex
Remove Hex

Shadow Form is there just in case something goes wrong on the way to the boss, if it does, you can shadow form, walk out of the traps, Purge, and run out of aggro.

I'll post the A/Me in a separate thread since it's technically a different farm.

Got my staff in 6 runs - it took me 3 to get the timing then killed him 3 times. On the third it was wham, bam, thank you for the staff!

tried it on my monk. just stay behind the wall and u'll do just fine. u just need to die once if u have more luxon faction and u'll be close to him in a dif rez point. but u will have to walk a fair bit

It takes less time to get to him than it does to die, rez, then get to him. You need 1-2 run skills and Purge Conditions... Or even just Illusion of Haste, since it removes the "Crippled" condition while you are enchanted with it.

But ya, you can just /sit behind a wall and start casting Scourge Sacrifice when he uses his first Lingering Curse or Defile Flesh on you.

i finally got this.... i started with a bane sig, then ran close use remove hex, smite hex, remove hex again, remove hex again,smite hex,bane sig,scourge sacrifice,healing breeze, then just use the healing sig, and the hex removers + scourge sacrifice if needed again. (and use bane signet if he is attacking u and u are in trouble, the knock down time can save you)

Prophecies, Lion's Arch.

As a note- a Me/Mo or Mo/Me can easily farm Zarnas, Craw, and the monk boss with just 4-6 skills (hint, only 2 of them are used on bosses).

The truth itself

Doh, with a monk primary, just go for Prot spirit.

Remember to recast it, when he uses lingering curse.

Strange, how can you farm all 3 bosses?

don't helpers (stone rains, stone reapers, and stone warriors) pop out of the columns now - or at least some of the time?

I picked up Scourge Sacrifice from the skill trainer in Ember Light Camp, but GuildWiki says you can get it from the skill trainer in Copperhammer Mines.

Also, the build works great! I've gotten 8 Stonereapers so far, sold 2 of them, gave 5 to guildies, and have one for my necro. Thanks for the build.

So then i use mend condition, but I still end up getting chased down by the wardens....Any tips? Balanced Stance before you run in. Get past where possible traps could be and stand there taking a beating. Wait for the Crippled condition to wear off and then use Sprint to get away. They shouldn't bother chasing you leaving you with about 1/2 health to go start fighting the necro boss.

I average about 1 in 10 runs he drops a staff.

I get myself killed by the first group of Wardens on the way to Craw, get resurrected behind that group and then go to kill Craw like the OP. Then I proceed with Zarnas, the only crucial point with both is: stay behind a wall so they don't hit you with attacks.

Craw does even use his saccing spells much earlier if you do some more dmg to him, e.g. with SS.

Got 2 Stonereaper, two of Zarna's Wands and half a dozen golds so far.

Havelock Wow, I did this with my nec, got The Stonereaper on my first run ^_^. I still need work on killing Zarna, he owned me lol. Thx alot for posting this.

Also the good thing about W/N is that you can throw in Plague Touch and leave poor warden with all the conditions

Oh and maybe try desecrate enchants and put curses up? It removes enchants now aswell after the patch.

EDIT Reply to the post below

yeah, go n/assassin you dont need scourge sac... just use grenths or life transfer or something, plague touch, deaths charge, dash. np, just deaths charge to the guy on far side, dash away, if you get crippled plague touch/send it and run. you can still get him to sac himself out... just a little slower

Stonereaper is cake. Monk boss is doable.

The ele boss is causing me big headaches. Stone daggers seems to penetrate the walls (at least around the corner). Also he appears over a wide area and lasting long enough to draw him somewhere while getting knocked down is proving problematic. Could someone elaborate on how exactly they guarantee to get behind a wall to kill this boss?

Anyone try a necro degen/Grenths balance build and try to tank him (at range) using elemental resistance/grenths balance to stay alive through the stone daggers spamming?

Edit: Using W/N Grenths balance build (I aggro and sit there until low then grenth him) and a guildie ele behind me to flare/nuke him we have taken him down a couple times with no drops. The monk boss is cake with grenth but no drops in 5. Got 2 necros staffs (awesome curse staff) in about 10 kills.

Once I get to Craw its a nonissue, what with how quick he dies and all.
But then that damn ele gets me everytime, mostly due to the fact that I don't have a slot for SS.
Any tips on making my silly caster build more efficient for this run? Try replacing those with mending, healing breeze (to outlast conditions) and grenths balance (to heal and kill). Then you can use grenths balance on the bosses also. If you are cursing maybe take insidious parasite to heal and kill. If you are MMing you have to give up Golem for Grenths Balance, but I think you will find it excellent for solo farming with some practice.

(Or change your secondary to W and use sprint/healing sig)
