The Early Kat Years 3: Farming 101 with Blackened Shadow

I was introduced to Minotaur farming in Elona Reach by my friend Jason again. He insisted that I try it, which I did gladly. The instant I loaded the skillbar below and started farming minotaurs, I was hooked. It was a relatively easy bar to learn... put up fire attunement, cast armor of mist to aggro minotaurs together, cast channeling, arcane echo mist form, spam fire spells, and then cast mist form again. It was great to see people's reactions when I told them I could farm minotaurs with a mesmer. Monks and warriors were the kings (and/or queens) of farming back then because of griffon farming. Back in those days, enemies did not flee from AoE damage. They would just keep in their place and continue to attack you until they died. That is why I was able to use this build and W/Mo's and Mo/W's were able to spam Balthazar's Aura and Symbol Of Wrath to quickly drop enemies. I got more than enough gold from this farm to repay Jason back his money after lending it to me for Drok's armor and even make some extra as well. How I wish I could use this build again... too bad AoE damage makes enemies scatter now :(.
