(also the w/r and w/me couldn't take as big of groups as w/n and w/mo, but i may just suck ;p)

w/ele can probably do it too, but i didn't try that.. couldn't think of anything.

To answer your question: you don't need to be a secondary or primary monk to farm.

My Mesmer is farming outside augury rock too and I don't see how difficut it is. I usually gather the griffons and the minotaurs all at once and it took me like 1min to kill them all. With scroll, I get about 5k exp each time. And, Yes, my secondary is not monk and I have 560 hp on my mesmer.

I sometimes wonder if people realistically expect to make 50k a day every day and cry "nerf" when they can't / don't. yesterday i said 'hey i want 15k armor', farmed griffons all day, got it in the evening
but farming 6 hours in a row can really become a drag

I thought the same thing Savior when I read his post. He probably doesn't even know why 8HP works. It' not practical to Solo the UW or though..... Hmm.... Unless you brought a friend to "Rebirth" you ..... I saw bones video back a while ago... you could tell it was before they changed Balth's to 2 Sec....

IMO the 2 Sec change hurt Mo Farmers but helped the W/Mo farmers because now 1 Cast Bonnettie's then cast Balth's... Now I have 2 Sec of more +Energy from Attacks, I can fully regen my Energy where before I was lucky to get 1-2 hits and sometimes if the timing was off <5 so No Cyclone Axe = Dead.... Now my W/MO is so easy I can Ctrl/Shift/H and enjoy the show.

YES. You CAN farm without being secondary or primary monk. Look around and you might notice a lot of different builds for it. My fav. actually tends to be a warrior/ele.

Over the weekend I saw more weirdness. Another 5-6 runs no golds, but some purples. Then a guildmate asks to come along while I farm and we get 5 golds in 2 runs...

Maybe it was just good karma...
