Stoneflesh, Kinetic Armor, Obsidian Flesh, Geomancer insignias, Mantra of Earth. Works with Mesmer/Elementalist too.

Trevor The Wave · Feb 17, 2008, 08:27 AM // 08:27

I've also been using Armor of mist, but I use a different killage build, which still works ^^.

Dont post there (unless you enjoy getting flammed) Msg me.

The old build still works for me, I'll try and post a video later. Nice build, though!

Edit: Here's the video! Just stop as soon as you aggro everything you want to (Don't bother bunching them up against the wall, and make sure you cast Inferno AFTER Flame Djinn's, since casting it before makes them scatter due to the aftercast delay of Inferno)

I use mindbender on my A/E instead of deadly paradox. still works fine... just can't stack mindbender and djinn's when pulling raptors, because you will loose aggro and mess up the run. heh. I also thought of using armor of mist for E/A.

stretchs · Feb 18, 2008, 03:28 PM // 15:28

I dont want to assume things, but you have no problem killing boss with this as well correct?

HM or NM as HM this doenst seem to even touch the boss' health

You dont kill the boss, it kills you, hopefully after you have picked up the loot.
The build is for killing only the 33 nestlings.
in hard mode

The old e/a build works fine.
You do have to be a little more careful where you use djins haste now but otherwise its fine.

Now that we've been slowed down & know we will get hit by the raptors a few times rounding them up, adjust your armour to have more vs physical damage & add a +7vs physical to your sword.
loosen up the high hp loss & just use a couple of medium runes instead of sup ones etc etc.

The *twisting jaws* skill hits for about 230hp in HM so just make sure you can handle that and a few hits.

In the last week using the same build, i had 3 ele swords drop & 4 black dyes

Its still quick too & yes you still get the boss 98% of the time which, on average is about 150 + asuran points too!

stretchs · Feb 20, 2008, 12:00 AM // 00:00

meh, a waste to kill only hatchlings and not boss so i went to a build to kill them all, what really is annoying is that with over 300 runs through here between my ele and warrior I have yet to get an ele sword.

BruskoKariskoff · Feb 21, 2008, 12:05 AM // 00:05

Had 2 ele swords and 2 black dyes drop the same day...once, :P

anway, this build looks really good, too. I'll have to give it a run. For those working on their sweet tooth, dont forget that some of the cheap holiday consumables grant a speed bonus...i believe you can use most of them outside of outposts.

Lykan · Feb 21, 2008, 04:24 AM // 04:24

These Sf builds confuse me, what happens if you dont kill everything before Sf runs out??

My Lipgloss is Cool · Feb 21, 2008, 04:51 AM // 04:51

I believe you die, which is why the builds are supposed to kill very fast.

EDIT: Continued to think about this; even after death, your AoE damage would still be going off probably killing them if they hadn't already died, allowing you to simply run back and pick up your drops.

Khazad Guard · Feb 21, 2008, 10:16 AM // 10:16

I use to use Air of Superiority to recharge Shadow Form. Wtih 30+ raptors, I've never had a run that hasn't recharged Shadow Form.

The build use to be:
Deadly Paradox | Shadow Form | Air of Superiority | Fire Stom | Glyph of Sacrifice | Meteor Shower | Bed of Coals | Flame Djinn's Haste

But ofcourse the FJH kind of slowed that down, but now you replace Deadly Paradox with Mindbender, and FJH with Inferno (more power)

S_Serpent · Feb 22, 2008, 02:09 PM // 14:09

lol how come I wasn't informed about this nerf? must be my mistake and still doing the run with the same build. No big deal what so ever. But maybe its the fact I already was used to armor swapping for some extra rune / hp swaps and weaponswaps too.

If this was an attempt by a.net to nerf this farm it clearly mist its intention. Although in pvp I can understand why they got a hit by the nerfbat

oh and if you don't kill the first normal raptors and the boss in HM you are wasting your time there.
Don't tell its to just get asura pts fast since you can kill the normal raptors and boss and the nestlings in one go around 1 min a run in HM.

And no I'm not telling the build, its been posted on this forum way to long ago! Search is your friend

It is just a E/Me Sliver build of course. But that is if you are their to get the most asuran points possible... some just want to kill all the raptors, pick up drops (hope for ele sword) then restart. E/A and A/E is still faster though.
