Default Warrior/Ele Raptor Farm

Tired of seeing the threads with Hundred Blades and MoP for your war? Try using this, and I guarantee it will work faster, as well as get you 30 kills + boss in HM nearly every time.

Template Code:

OQYTk4YWTKuknwnIvgHKXEu0wCA

Required Weapons:
Any +5e, +20% Enchant Weapon (Sword, Axe, Spear)
Req 9 Str OR Tac Shield with -2 while enchanted, +45 while enchanted

Armor:
Full Knights Armor
+1 Strength Helmet with highest Vigor run available
Major Tactics on chest
Major Strength on Gauntlets
Sup. Absorption on Leggings
Rune of Attunement on Boots

Cast Mental Block before any aggro, get 5 Raptors on you asap so you can use To The Limit, followed instantly with Defy Pain, and make your way to the Broodmother. Once there, hit Wary Stance, Sliver Armor, Ebon thingy of Honor, and then Air of Superiority. Any questions, PM me in-game

Let's gwbbcode that up:

[build=OQYTk4YWTKuknwnIvgHKXEu0wCA]

Why absorption on the leggings? Are Raptors known to bite you in the legs more often than the usual chest hits?

(EDIT) Nearly 4 years playing and I'm still getting that one wrong

Absorption effects the entire suit of armor, not just the piece it is put on.

two points.

1. This has already been posted... but better.
2. No way in HELL could this be faster than HB+MoP rape

And imo casting EBSoH before sliver increases efficiency... just my 2gp

There's nothing wrong with that, unless you're using those common eotn headpieces.

Although yeah, most of the runes don't have to be in one spot or another, we just got his particular setup.

Sorry about the double post then...I was messing around with skills and I thought it was a new build, even if there were W/E builds up already w/o the PvE skills

And ty for putting it in gwbbcode...I'm trying to figure out how to do that

And Daft Shifty, between switching this for the MoP build...it works faster for me
but then again, this is just a variant if Thousand Blades is getting boring

and the Strength rune can go anywhere really....I just put my vigors on my headpieces

QFT.

My E/Me with 16 earth magic is already too slow @1:20, w/55 damage from [ebon battle standard of honor][sliver armor][by urals hammer]...

Been running the HB+MoP warrior all day. It's *too* fast, rarely fails, and when it does, it means the boss didn't die (so loot FAST!!!).

At least use the 33% para runner hero to improve things 5-10 seconds per run...

On the topic of the stale HB/MoP, if you detest micromanaging a hero:

[HB/MoP Raptors Solo;OQQUc4ISzaRpFbF9Fpi5F7gWCrlA]

Works best at r10 Asura, as postulated by Nechtan Thaumaturge. Without max Asura, use the Para hero.

After having snuck more of the banal HB/MoP into your thread, I don't want to hijack this topic with a repost of a repost of it. Defy/Sliver is a fun build to use, and a highly effective one at that - it works just as you advertised, excepting the fact that HB/MoP is slightly more efficient. Add to that the fact that I'm lazy and do not have [Ebon Battle Standard of honor] or a respectable Vanguard rank on my warrior (the build, as you well know, is severely inhibited without it) and have no drive to get it, and I shall return to grinding max Asura for my warrior.

But really, it still can't maintain 100% 33% run speed, now can it (nope - only 66%)? Macro of the paragon takes about 10 minutes practice, and it gives you something to do in that ~20 seconds to the cave (and it has 4 slots free)...

What is 33% of a 1 minute run, anyways (actually, it's 33% speed lost for 20 seconds)...

EDIT: All you *GW rocket scientists* need to come up with a way to kill the boss with 3 slots on a A/D:

(that 10 pip degen works every time)...
