I know there HAS TO BE a thread on this but i dont see one atm.

Since MoR was nerfed how are people getting around interupts? Ive always used the standard stoneflesh armor of earth build with sliver. I thought with some decent timing i could still use it but im gettin worked.

I was thinkin something with a short interupt canceling effect but the only thing i could think of is maybe mental block? I think thats the one.

Any ideas would be great. BTW i checked PvX and Guru threads but i think its all pre-nerf

Did you really not check 5 threads down? The one called E/Me Raptor Farm? Anyway, prenerf E/Me still works, you just have to time MoR better now.

Weary Stance

Yea my bad, if you are reffering to the one using MoR then yep ive seen it and i have used forever. MoR has been castrated.

weary/waery/wary stance falls under warrior which is fine but i have not seen a E/W build.

I read and watched the W/N and N/W threads, and i think i saw one using mist form but, again this build uses MoR. Im not tryin to be a pain in the ass guys. Im just asking did MoR smack down render Ele raptor farm obsolete??

thanks

Do you really not read anything? I just said that E/Me is still very possible, you just have to be more careful with MoR. It's still a 1min run, you just don't get the 2 or 3 stragglers on the other side of the cave.

I never used MoR anyways...just ran R/E with Mist Form, Armor of Mist, Glyph of Sac, Sliver, Whirling Defense, Magnetic Aura, Air of Superiority, and Ebon Battle Standard of Honor or w/e. Works fine, and it's generic enough that you could run it with almost any class with some tweaks. Can kill boss and about 25 nestlings in a minute or so. Sometimes you get unlucky and get interrupted, but it's really not often enough to even be frustrating.

From the other raptor thread:

Through testing I managed to find a me/a build that still works

OQdUA0B6lPT6MLBmAulxA2gki8IA

Shadow form
ar-echo
channeling
radiation field
Mind wrack
cop
Lod
Deadly paradox

You can use SF at least 3 times, giving degen enough time to kill raptors. There isn't a lot of time for picking up drops, and you can't kill the boss...but it works

edit: switch out deadly for vipers, you'll just have to die and resapawn to get drops

R/E still works. I'm sure there are Warrior and Dervish builds that also work.

Copied from two other threads

Ele/Mesmer

[Channeling]
[Magnetic Aura]
[Mindbender] (Only for a rank 8 or above Asuran], otherwise use [Armor of Mist]

Cast 1-2-3 at cave entrance. Efficiently aggro all roving groups of raptors (don't kill your run by chasing every straggler and having your run skill die prematurely). Once you caught the Broodmother's attention:

[Mantra of Resolve] - 5 second nerf is fine, that's all you'll need
[Sliver Armor]
[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]
[By Ural's Hammer!] ([Intensity] is fine too)

You should be doing about 48 damage per sliver hit depending on your various ranks. Broodmother normally will go down before the sliver runs out. As soon as your get the recharge, go ahead and recast Channeling, Magnetic Aura (and Mindbender too if you are using it). This will aid in your energy not getting drained by Mantra of Resolve absorbing interrupts. When Sliver starts to blink, recast your remaining bar again. Start pickup up your loot now! (";","space",";","space"....). Once your 2nd sliver runs out, the run is over. Zone out and do it again. You should get around 29-31 kills plus the Broodmother.

BTW. HUGE tip. If you didn't already know this trick: When you run our to Riven Earth, run back to Rata Sum through the gate, and run back out to Riven Earth again. Now when you type "resign" you will be right next to the gate every time. And PLEASE don't screw around worry about taking leechers (unless you really want to help someone), they DON'T do anything for your drops.

Use a SUPERIOR Earth run and staff with 20% enchanting mod. Some people like to use [Air of Superiority], but I feel it is unnecessary. 2 casts of boosted sliver armor is really all you need to get about 30 kills. A third cast to kill like 1-2 more is just a waste of time.
