Gambit farming!
If you’re not thinking about it in terms of time spent (which for farming you are of course), not using any Gambits nets you the same profit over the course of needing to do as many battles as you activated gambits. It costs you just as many entry tokens, and your success rate goes from anywhere between 20-70% (with Gambits) to a 100% in most cases. Gambits saves time, but it doesn’t give you any better rewards, however if you fail a non-Gambit fight you lose one entry token and if you lose a fight with 4 Gambits, you lose 5.

Yup gambits don’t offer extra rewards, they just maximize rewards per time spent. Just wanted to let everyone know its possible to farm a bit of money from the gauntlet with gambits.
Found a reddit thread with a warrior doing the same thing but with subject 7. It has math included about the profit too if anyone is interested! http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1jwqfx/30s_a_minute_queens_gauntlet_farm_details_inside/
effective yes… but man is it boring…
there is nothing boring about making 50s per 60 secs :|
I never expect to lose. Even when I’m the Engineer , I still prepare a victory speech.

Say that after you’ve killed subject 7 200 times in a row….
Maybe i’m just no hardcore enough, but after 200g I had to stop to prevent myself from going crazy.
Haha yea it can get a bit dull but I think it’s one of the most efficient farming methods out there.
12g an hour? kitten . I guess I need to forget destroyer killing and get going on the arena.
Though I probably wouldn’t be able to pull it off anyway since none of my chars use Berserker builds.
Yea I’m using a full zerk Mesmer and deadeye goes down extremely fast. Just make sure to not take the squeamish gambit which reduces your dmg. Full zerker definitely helps haha.
