Usage

Part 1

• Start the mission, enchant yourself with Live Vicariously, and take the hidden path behind the little house on the left.
• Aggro + pop what you can and try to stand in a narrow place so the foes can hardly run away.
  • Maintain Defy Pain and Dolyak Signet at all times.
  • The best spot would be where you can pile the corpses without letting the necromancers be in range of those. Otherwise they will raise 2 minions per corpse and put Death Nova on them. Death Nova being the only threat of the farm.
• Once everything is balled, start hacking away to gain energy and health as needed and use Judge's Insight to deal the most damage.
• Once you have enough energy, you can cast Strength of Honor on yourself.

Part 2 This part is optional and depends if you deem it profitable and ethical enough.

• After killing all the foes, you can continue along the path to find a group with a necromancer, 4 hellhounds and a ranger.
• Then there are 6 inanimate foes which will not fight back even when being hit. (seems like a bug)
• continue forward and enter a cave with 3 necromancer and 6 hellhounds. don't stay too long near the entrance because of patrolling group with mesmers in it. (mesmers have fragility and ineptitude)
