OK well the template thing isn't working now, so I'll just type it out.

A/E
Attributes
12+1+3 Shadow Arts
12 Earth Magic
3 Deadly Arts

Equipment
Stanard perma armor, all radiant insignias, 4 attunement runes and a Superior Shadow Arts.
I use a r9 Earth Staff, +5e +20% enchants.
I have r5 Asura with this build, and have a total of I think 66 energy.

Glyph of Swiftness
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Sliver Armor
Radiation Field
Viper's Defense
Ward Against Foes
Dark Escape

Template: OwZTkY/8ZS6jHRnhHytMgJWoBCA

Use DE to get to the cave quickly, hit 1-2-3 for SF, agro all the raptors, boss group last, and use DE when it recharges. Once you've agroed the boss group, as Rekkoff is coming towards you, activate Ward Against Foes. Just about as she comes into the ward, hit Sliver Armor, Renew SF then hit Radiation Field. Staff her to make sure she doesn't run. When she dies, use RF again as soon as it recharges from the Moral Boost. Wait roughly 4 seconds, and use Viper's Defense. They will all degen to death quickly if you do it correctly. If some scatter before you hit Viper's and don't get poisoned, they may survive, so just find the ones you missed and either get them with RF or Viper's. When done correctly this does under two minute runs easily. On bad runs, where I have to run around and disease/poison individual Raptors, /age still says 1 minute when I'm done.

Counters: Obviously Sliver Armor not targeting Rekkoff will be a problem, but if you time it right it shouldn't happen often. If it does, you can just use RF the 2nd time when it recharges, wait 4 seconds and use Viper's, and hope you can pick up your loot before Twisting Jaws kills you

The timing and all took a little bit to get used to, but seeing as my E/Me did about 2:15 clears, this saves a lot of time.

Please don't say, "This kills most of them at the same time, so you get less drops," because that's crap, as a thread awhile ago proved.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me in game and I can show you the run if you want.

Edit: Just timed a run with my stopwatch, took 1:14 from spawning in Riven Earth to 33 Raptors + boss dead, and 1:40 from spawning in Riven to spawning back in Riven for the next run.

Edit 2: Timed a few more runs, 1:15 seems to be about the average for all Raptors + boss dead.

By the way, I just got Ebon Battle Standard of Honor at r5 Vanguard, and put that on my Ele for the Sliver Armor build I use on him. It speeds up the runs a ton. I averaged about 1:40 from spawning in Riven to all raptors dead. Still not as fast as the Assassin though.

I would hazard a guess that it involves glads defence and mystic sandstorm, cant be sure though.
