Default big problem with this raptor farming build

Hi guys, I was trying the build below and I am having serious problems. The main thing is killing the boss. After all the raptors are dead, the boss seems to have about 15% health left. Can anyone recommend what to use on this farming build?

P.S. I even watched Youtube videos and it seems they are killing the boss. There are also other builds not killing the boss.

You keep tanking the raptors till your health is around 50 or so. Not 50%, actual 50 of 600.
That way you dish out the extra 15%. I had the same problem and the main thing is to let them attack you while you attack them.

Ok I just did two runs. One run the boss did die but the other time she didn't. I got the inscription 20% more damage under 50% health and customised so its supposed to be 40% more damage

Can anyone help?

Couple things to remember:
-Make sure you hve exact stats[dont cheap out on the runes and stuff]
-Make sure you arggo all of the raptors[1-4 can be left] and are attacking you b4 you use whriling
-Make sure the raptor you 1st casted mark of pain on is still hexed, if not you need to speed up ur running
-Boss can survive if it uses twisting jaws during whirling, so got to time it right[before she hits you or wait till after]

20v50 is completely useless, that will buff the base damage from your normal sword attack.

It has no effect on the damage dealt from Hundred Blades or Mark of Pain, only the single hit from whirlwind attack on the boss.

If you're not killing the boss you might be;
  • not aggroing the whole cave
  • not activating by ural's hammer?
  • not grouping the raptors so the one with MoP is adjacent to Rekoff
  • missing attribute points

Thanks guys the problem was two things I did wrong:

1. I didn't get Broodmother adjacent.
2. I had 11 in Swordmanship, not 12.

Now I can kill her!

Another way is to pull off MoP twice, cast as soon as you get to cave, aggro everything right as it recharges, cast again, powpow
