Curse

ShockValue · Dec 19, 2007, 06:09 PM // 18:09

Ok, I've read the W/Rt, E/A and A/E raptor hatching farming guides, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do with a M/x? So far I've tried the standard 55 Mo/De SoJ and 55 Mo/Ne SS, but of course the interrupts absolutely pwn me.

I've been experimenting with some anti-interrupt skills like the mesmer stances and ele glyphs, but so far (either my lack of skill, or poor builds) I've not been able to take either the young or mature raptors using this method.

Any tips? Or is it impossible? I'm looking for a fun way to get loot+azuran points on my monk, so "Roll an A/E" doesn't really work.

you could go mo/me with mantra of concentration to counter the interupts.

Mantra of Resolve is better. Since there's no degen, go with this build:

[card]Protective Spirit[/card][card]Shielding Hands[/card][card]Shield of Absorption[/card][card]Mantra of Resolve[/card][card]Stonesoul Strike[/card][card]Shield of Judgment[/card][card]Balthazar's Spirit[/card][card]Blessed Aura[/card]

As long as you aggro the whole cave, it'll work. The energy removal won't mess you up at all as long as you cast smartly. I did that to farm the Kveldulfs and it worked perfectly, albeit it was a bit slow for those monsters. I didn't try it on the Raptors yet because my monk isn't that far yet.

I've used a build like this one, only without sonestoul had a maintainable enchant there [card]Essence Bond[/card] I guess

It worked only on NM, you can do it on HM with that build but you will need to get the raptors struck at a wall, so they wont keep running away.
on NM the drops arent that good tho, I did it last weekend for the event items which dropped pretty well

I was doing that as 600/smite (in HM) with Mantra of Resolve, it seemed to work rather nice. Could hit all the nestings + normal raptors

that's the mantra i meant. To bad you can't take out the boss

ShockValue · Dec 19, 2007, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Hrm, perhaps it was my lack of experience with mantra of resolve. I'll give that another try tonight with the builds you've suggested.

Mantra's are stances though, won't the nestling's knock you out of the stance with Wild Strike?

Nestlings dont have wild. Rekoff does tho.

Also I suggest throwing [skill]Channeling[/skill] in there.

Twisting Jaws would pwn any 55 monk.

Rekoff will use it on u and then go 'rofl noob' on ur dead body.

The war variant of this farm doesn't kill the boss either.

same thing as the W/Rt run, aggro with pacience and get them stuck on that plant, no elite required

And how would you kill them with that build?

I've killed a few HM Raptor Hatchlings with the following. It's slow as hell though because they scatter. Searching for a way to solve this problem. (What is this "Get them stuck on the plant." method of which you speak?)

[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Shielding Hands[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]Mantra of Resolve[/skill][skill]Blessed Aura[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]Shield of Judgment[/skill][skill]Radiation Field[/skill]

ShockValue · Dec 20, 2007, 04:51 PM // 16:51

edit: I found the "stuck on the plant" thing with the W/Rt video. I will try that with the above build tonight.

Esc Roto · Dec 21, 2007, 03:33 PM // 15:33

degen kill with radiation field. if u get them stuck in the plant (it's in the w/rt video), they will not scatter, and if you agrro them all in the same side of the plant, 3 radiation fields (i'm rank 6 asura) are more than enough to kill all in one.

kade · Dec 22, 2007, 03:13 AM // 03:13

in HM they are removing my stance...anyone else have this problem?

Esc Roto · Dec 22, 2007, 11:04 AM // 11:04

oh now i get it. you want to farm raptors not raptor nestlings. wow. LOL epic fail

kade · Dec 23, 2007, 06:30 AM // 06:30

yeah that was my bad. I didn't realize the patrolling mob at the beginning was Raptors...not nestlings
