Vaettir with the new Obsidian Flesh

I've gotten my "/age" on the map down to 2 minutes with just a few runs and unoptimized skills and attributes. Impressive - I'm taking 3 mins or more with that build. Got any tips?

And what is your total time from zoning in for one run, to zoning in again for the next run? (on average)

Because if it's possible to kill all 60 Vaettirs, pick up drops, zone out, and zone back in... in less than 2mins 34secs then...

...I might consider using it when event items are dropping too. But it would have to be consistently under 2:34 to beat my E/Me Raptor kill rate. Actually it would have to be significantly less than 2:34 or I doubt I'll find it worth the hassle of:
a) running to the Vaettirs, and
b) running this build (its a lot more fiddly than the Raptor build), and
c) having to bring merch summoning stones

By the way, it would have to be WAY less than 2:34 to beat the kill rate of a W/N Raptor farmer... but when event items are dropping their speed advantage evaporates. Because they have to spend time picking up all those extra (event) drops at the end of each run - and this build will suffer from that too. (E/Me Raptor farmer uses Sliver, kills one at a time instead of everything dropping dead at once, and picks up the loot as it falls - little or no time wasted at the end).

Its about e/me and vaettires not w/n or raptors - this is an alternative to raptors - when warriors get the mop nerf if it ever comes then this will replace it.
Ps soz but im sick of w/n boasting how cool they are as they are raptor kings so dont think im targetting you ( i have a war myself but doesnt raptor farm by choice )

not to bust your bubble,this still works (http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:E/Me...Vaettir_Farmer)

But it should be the same amount of time as yours (2minish)...i did it day of nerf but didnt bother doing /age Well, I've said previously that I'm not sold on using Ether Nightmare and Cry of Pain for an Elementalist. Yeah, they're great for sneaking under the Perma damage cap, but we don't have to worry about that. I'm using an earth staff with two +20% recharge mods, which would be wasted on Ether Nightmare and Cry of pain, because you can't degen them more than ten pips, and the Damage from Cry of Pain is middling. Much better in my mind to burst them with Crystal Wave et al and get the quick recharges to hit them more.

Oh, and it's also not depending on having high allegiance ranks, something that's a big plus for those of us who make many character to futz around with.

to Riot Narita: I've never sat down and really timed myself. I just check the "/age" after every run, and after a few, I only see 3 minutes or more if I lag and get bodyblocked, or some Vaettir spawn a little farther from the main groups and I waste time to round them up. I just keep my Storm Djinn's Haste up constantly, and as I talk to the Norn to get the bounty, I trigger the Mantra while moving to save a moment or two. It's actually really easy. On the whole though, most runs are going to be in that magic zone between 2:15 and 2:45 depending on the gods of Lag and Spawn, so you may be better off killing poor baby dinosaurs.

As to the Raptor Farm, I've actually never done it with my Elementalist, so i couldn't offer any solid comparisons. I would agree though, that the easy access to a merchant is something that I wished I had while killing Vaettir.

If you're really worried about kills per hour, you may think about either killing only the smaller, southern groups and rezoning quickly; or maybe beginning at the large Northern group, so when the southern group is killed last you're closer to the portal to zone.

does anyone have the map of the run? No, but google did.
