As for the skills/spells, try taking a necro with spinal shivers or a good interruption mesmer/ranger with you.

my team nuked from afar (hard as hell) they had 3 monks SB'ing and stuff, it was bit my bit
a big must!, someone with a ritualist rez skill, that bypasses frozen soil, when you get down to 1 on 1'ing rotscale, i was a ranger, i just sat there and spammed broad arrow head, concussion shot, and other interrupts. it takes foooorever

Did it this pm, but it took a while. As an ele, I nuked, but also took a couple of mesmer interrupts. Good monk backup plus some ranger interrupts helps.
RotteN
might wanna try and get a ritualist with shelter and stuff to decrease the damage ...

I think a good group would be....
W/Mo going smite
SS Necro
Echo Nuker
Defencive RT
Healing Monk
Going to try and get a group like this and try tonight, will update after.

ok i dont mean to be rude in any way but... THINK RETARDS (non-offensively) Rotscale and all the other monsters around him are undead... So i say that if you can take the following atleast with the following skills.
2 Warrior/Monks with judges insight
2 Monks One with smiting with the best smites that you have and one with pure healing.
1 Ranger with interupts
Lastly The best g'damn nuker anyone know (if your having a problem with everone knowing a good nuker just put them in a fight and see who wins).
I can practically garintee that you will be successful wit this.

I killed him like 7 months ago, I have to say, he is like a lvl 16, lol. Dunno why they make overrated lvl 30, lvl 30 shouldnt drop 11- 18 dmg swords lol.
dargon
Uhh Quanzong, he's NEVER been level 16. He used to be 28 and the Rotscale in Sanctum Cay was something like 25. Not only does he drop swords, but he also drops a green now.

And He is considered fleshy, and not undead, so holy damage doesn't deal double dmg to him...
And He is a necro now. not a ranger... And he really PWNS.............
quanzong
Wow GW STAFF likes to make life harder for us. Did they make him drop good things, not including green items, like a majority of items with max dmg and energy, etc? Unlike the old one, he had 10% chance of dropping maxed items.
Well considering hes tough now, I suggest 55 monk with SS necromancer now.

Here is the info on the bow from GuildWiki.
I Mean I

shadow ranger
Me and my friends ran it yesterday, wasnt too hard.
Grenths balance (we had a necro)
Ritualist with ritual lord, mainly for keeping shelter up.
Healer
Elem, had some enchants to help the necro, and nuked the first groups of dragons / undead to clear them out.
Once you get it down to just rot, its just a matter of keeping shelter up and eating away at his hp

Things to try:
- Ritualist spirit spammer
The protections from someone doing this at the back line are great, and they aren't enchantments so desecrate won't RAPE you.
- Smiting
Works on the smaller dragons, but not Rotscale because he isn't undead.
- Grenth's Balance
Pwn. Try W/N with Endure Pain, Defy Pain, and maybe Vital Blessing. Then get hurt and use Grenth's Balance.
- A good warrior
A good warrior can tank Rotscale by himself indefinitely once the smaller enemies are dead. So this gives your allies time to regroup, time to res each other, time to regen etc while the warrior tanks him and Rotty gets annoyed.
- Hex removal
Rotscale uses Malaise, and that energy denial can be painful. Coupled with Quickening Zephyr, monks often find their energy is 0 far sooner than it should be.
- Spinal shivers + cold damage
Also Winter and Greater Conlagration... try doing anything now Rotscale.
- SS
This is an efficient way of killing everything around Rotscale. They are all bunched up, and two or three SS, plus a warrior standing in aggro range being healed by his monks = dead dragons and clerics.
- Have favour
There is a statue just before the bridge where Rotscale is. If you have favour and kneel, you can get blessings for all! This means you get +3 health regeneration, useful against the poison. If everybody does this, you can get 10% morale boost for all!

Swinging Fists
I just started a Factions mesmer and I was looking on Guildwiki for some ideas. There is a build, suggested for Rotscale, that uses Arcane Echo, Arcane Thievery, Arcane Larceny, and Diversion. This is supposed to disable all of his skills except Deafening Roar for a bit. I haven't tried it, but I was wondering what you guys think of this build. It's under the PvE farming builds section.
MrTwisted
I will just add that I tried something close to the last post above, I was thinking along the same lines....
I ran in thinking I was going to do my part in taking him down and...
Echo Thievery + Larceny should get me 3 of his skills but nooooo......
I ended up stealing the same skill 3 times :/
I died shortly after lol
Back to the drawingboard ...

Diversion should be useful, fairly spammable, and he doesn't have many skills. Unless of course he is another enemy that cheats and has 3 of the same skill on the skill bar... getting sick of that in PvE.

thanks rainith for the info on the bow, looks like i'll have to add rotscale to the list of greens i need to farm
Former Ruling
I'm rezzing this topic in the Fairness of the search actually working and people yelling "search for it".
Nowadays people in ToA Are looking for this to Farm him with, with minor changes here and there:
1-2 Tanks
2 Nukers
2 Healing monks
1 Ritualist spirt spammer
1 SS/SS (Spiteful and Shivers) sometimes Grenth/SS
1 Winter/Daze Ranger (can use Greater as elite and use Concussion, or BHA)
I know i listed 9 people. Some sub in here and there. Like 1 tank for the Ranger, or No Ranger at all, or only 1 Nuker. Its basically any combo of the above classes.

I didn't know that they had upgraded rotscale, and they did a heck of a job apparently. I used to go kill him for fun with a bunch of henchies(I smite). It was a challenge but no horrible death wish like it has apparently become.
*Heads off to check out the new Rotscale in combat

I found a way to kill him lol. Get a necro with as many skills that self inflict conditions as possible, then have him put them all on rotscale while hes bieng hit by everyone else. Worked for my group (i was the plague guy), but we also had a tank, a healer, and a fast cast nuker.
lightblade
My "almost" completely disable rotscale build:
N/Me
Soul Reaping: 4 = 3 + 1
Curse: 16 = 12 + 3 + 1
Inspiration: 12
Price of Failure
Spirit of Failure
Wither{E}
Malaise
Ether Lord
Enfeeble
+
2 optional skills
Now...Rotscale will have no energy to cast spells, and normal attacks do 50% damage and miss 50% of the time.
