I'm doing ok, but I know it could improve.

Ranger/Ele for the Raptor Farm in HM:

WS - Max 16
Earth - 12
Maxed all my asuran titles, etc.

Skills:

Stone Striker - elite
Dryders Defense
Stoneflesh Aura

These three keep me at zero damage for the duration of Dryders Defense, minus the brood mother. But I can stand her attacks for a good while too, long enough to kill her with sliver usually.

Sliver Armor -- damage
Radiation Field -- damage

Mental Block -- evade disruption
Whirling Defense -- evade disruption

Air of Superiority -- recharge skill chance, occasional energy management

Stone Striker / Dryders Defense combo works real nice. The little buggers can hardly damage me at all. With AoS on, I get decent amount of skill recharges with Sliver to keep Dryder's up. It doesn't always work in my favor.

Big draw back is the lack of running skill. Getting the buggers pulled is a nightmare and having to stop and recast Stoneflesh gets me in trouble on half my runs. Energy management can be a problem too.

I am thinking about dropping Radiation Field for something like dodge, but that sure does take out a lot of damage. Basically, if I could keep up my Dryders Defense for longer, I'd have little to worry about. I thought about Dwarven Stability, but that's just one more chance to get interrupted.

Thoughts?

1. PvE Ranger forum is down a few.
2. PvX has a HM Raptor farm for Ranger already. Look for it and use it.

3. Stone Striker not elite.

Stone Striker? You do know that's not an elite skill? Unless you are talking about Stone Sheath, then you are insane.

A lot of blocking there... But no self-healing. Also, nothing for energy.

This is much better.
