Raptor Farming

I have one tip!
STOP MAKING RAPTOR THREADS a better tip : instead of keep making raptor threads , just have one with all the builds in! :P

This is a build a guildie gave me for raptor farming , dunno how effeciently it works etc , so will post about the build in more detail later

I'm interested in how these builds compare to each other.

[build name="HM Raptor Mist-Farmer" prof=R/E Expertise=3+1+1 Water=12 EarthMagic=12][Armor of Mist][Glyph of Sacrifice][Mist Form][Magnetic Aura][Whirling Defense][Air of Superiority][Sliver Armor][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][/build]

[build name="HM Raptor Escape-Farmer" prof=R/E Expertise=12+1+1 EarthMagic=12][Stone Striker][Dwarven Stability][Escape][Magnetic Aura][Throw Dirt][Air of Superiority][Sliver Armor][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor][/build] The damage source is the same for both builds is Sliver + Ebon, the only damage source difference is Whirling Defense. I'd day that if both have the same survivability then the one that has a little edge on killing faster is the mist farmer.

Mist Farmer is WAY better (that's my baby). If you've captured the Asuran Skill Mindbender (and have a decent Asuran rank), you can replace the first two skills entirely, opening up an optional slot (I added throw dirt for the heck of it to reduce interrupts even further). Mindbender is nice because it reduces casting times (and therefore interruptions!). BTW, the Whirling Defense is there purely for interrupt prevention. It does not damage since you are not getting hit by projectiles. This build is superior because it is more predictable, you very rarely get interrupted compared to the older build (about 1 in 10).

Unfortunately my beloved ranger farmer has been surpassed by my Ele/Me farmer who I just brought up to Rata Sum.

[build=OgVEMWyryGZC4OgKEBwOwDhDuEA]

1-2-3 at entrance (will last long enough to aggro and get to broodmother), 4-5-6-7 at broodmother (in quick succession), cast echo before you recast sliver. That will give you 3 casts of sliver before zoning away. Enchanting staff, superior water and earth runes, and everything else survivor and vigor. Sweet build is as fast as the ranger but impossible to interrupt (although you could get your energy drained if you are too slow getting your spells up).

or for NM event item farming, you can REALLY knock em dead with this build:

[build=OgVEMWyryGZC4OgKEBwOwDhDuEA]

1 at entrance, 2-3-4-5-6-7-8 at broodmother's group (should knock all nestlings dead instantly).


My character is only a couple days old, so if I ever get around to it, Ebon Battle Standard of Honor would be superior to Intensity and Mindbender would probably work well too. Second and third build (hm and nm) are the same, did you mean that or was it a wrong code?

Second and third build (hm and nm) are the same, did you mean that or was it a wrong code? Fixed, thanks.
