Default Raptor Farming Build

Are there any raptor farming builds for Necromancers? I've searched a few, but all of them were from 2008 and used Shadow Form. Is it still possible to do it (In general, not talking about Shadow Form)?

This took me approximately about 35seconds to locate a build which is still in use today from PVX:http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:N/W_Manly_Raptor_Farmer
and im sure amongst this lot theres a viable build for a necro:http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/i...t10326326.html

Would suggest farm raptors for special weekends

hope you have fun :ninja

I don't think it was completely nerfed? I saw a terra tank doing it on YouTube I think. Recently. I know Sliver Armor was changed, but you can still kill quite a few of them.

i dont think you can kill them all anymore. rekoff kills you WWWAAYY too fast. and even if u killed them ud have rekoff.. and hed kill you before you get your drops. So yea.. by nerfing SA they killed off ALOT of my ele farms.. thus causing my current state of poorness.

Yep last I've seen a terra tank could only take the non-boss groups, which takes away a fair few raptors and isn't really worth it since other classes can do it so well.

N/W and W/N can do it with a paragon hero. Check that pvx page. It does work. You can kill them all if you pull them all that is.

Yeah, the new build took of Endure Pain and replaced it with Soldier's Defense for extra blocking capabilities. The only threat Reckoff Broodmother is, is her dinosaur chomp skill which ignores everything.

I've never had a problem with it.

One thing I don't get, is that guide says to wait a few seconds after using Wary Stance. If you don't wait it sometimes doesn't kill the boss.

Yeah, the MoP nuker build can, but I think he's referring to a terra build (check what he's quoting). As for waiting a few seconds, it's because it says:

Quote:
When enough enemies are in your aggro bubble, use Wary Stance
Then wait a few seconds for them to get from aggro range to adjacent range.

Edit: The reason you have no problems with Rekoff's chomp skill is because it's a touch skill and your Para hero has "Can't Touch This!".

If you're still farming feathers, how can you say you're poor?

Even when they are in adjacent range, if I don't wait a few seconds it won't kill the boss.

Either your MoP ends or something else... Do you have the right armor stats, everything?

MoP isn't ending. Even if it was from that, why would I be able to kill the boss if I wait 3 seconds after activating Wary Stance.

I can do the run. I'm just saying, if I don't wait 3 seconds or so, the boss will not die. That's what it seems like.
