Is there not a chance of getting drops based on fishing skill of person who drops the net?
Sampire is a non starter with Scalis, he has tainted life leech, you will kill yourself. You will want the Healing skill or bring a dedicated healer.
In terms of weapon, scalis is on the edge of either Armour Ignore (AI) or Double Strike (DS) being optimal. If you have the likes of a Disco Bard or a beetle with rune corruption to lower his resists, go with DS otherwise go with AI. Physical is generally his lowest resist so no need to worry about reforging for elements.
For weapon mods as a minimum you will want Stamina Leech and as high as possible Mana Leech. After those it's fairly flexible but I'd recommend a combination of Hit Lower Attack (Assuming HLD on helm), Hit Fatigue and/or Hit Mana Drain. He has no slayer vulnerability so forget about that. Possibly even put a Hit Area effect which will deal with the summoned eels quickly.
Not to forget your biggest weapon, ship cannons! Use them, speeds up the encounter massively. Might be awkward in a larger group as he target switches but in a small group it cuts the fight time by half or more.
Have a bard running Provo mastery shooting cannon!! Or a necro using evil omen!!

As others have said, Sampires simply cannot fight with Scalis. He will one hit kill you in melee action. It's simply not a template that works for this boss.
The two builds I have success with are my Mage Tamer Spellweaver and my Mystic Mage Spellweaver. You want a tank that can take some of the heat off of you, so pets or summons are good for that. From 100 to 30% life, just keep hitting E-bolts, using Wild Fire against the on-land spawn, chain lightning against the in water spawn. Once he is in Word of Death range, switch on as much SDI as possible and cast whatever SDI buffs you have, and just nuke away. Scalis has enough health that you can probably nuke all your mana, recharge it back to max, and keep nuking with WoD. I've gotten quite a few Small Soul Forges over the years with this method.

Tamer/weaver does well (I will use a disco pet if a bard isn't there). If you want to use a warrior then I'd use an archer/thrower. I've seen this quite a bit on ATL and the typical weapon the archers will use is the Bow of Infinite Swarm as it has SSI/ML.

Thrower can use this bow too. Vrulkax can alter it
When i fight Osiredon the Scalis Enforcer with my guild, i'm either using my Disco/Tamer with his RC+AP Fire Beetle along with my Death Ray Tamer/Mage © and his 120 Disco+CB Triton for massive debuffs to drop the boss fast, or i use my Chiv/Thrower with a Bane Soul Glaive.
