User talk:Toraen/Sandbox/R/A Raptor Leech Shrine Runner

Wait...what's this for?  Life  05:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Raptor farmers are always looking for leechers, and if you can run to other shrines in Riven Earth for extra Asura Points. It's hardly an efficient way of building Asura rep. Completing books would probably yield a lot more. I just find the running fun. Toraen 05:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I've never actually leeched because I find it more efficient to farm it myself. Wouldn't you only have time for one shrine because you just resign?  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 05:24, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Mist Form farmers actually take long enough that you can fit 2-3 shines in. Warriors leave you with just 1, but I haven't been able to find many people actually using the warrior build at the time I get on. Probably because it can't kill the boss without help, and that makes people sad I guess. Toraen 05:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, someone usually stays behind instead of running (because they have a bad prof for it), so they zone for the farmer. Toraen 05:28, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Mind getting a map of the four shrines? :D  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 04:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There ya go. There's obviously more shrines in Riven Earth (3 I think), but there's pretty much no way you're getting to them unless your farmer is absolutely terrible. Toraen 04:30, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm using this(well, the basic outline) once I get my good comp back. Not sure what elite I should run though. I'm a primary sin and don't really want to use SF.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 04:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You definitely won't need shadow form (that would slow you down a lot). You could always use an elite shadow step that doesn't have aftercast. I think Wastrel's Collapse would work in place of Death's Charge (also knocks down so the simian can't just hit you, they hurt more than the destroyers tbh). You should probably use your secondary for an IMS to use in Dash's downtime, and throw Dark Escape in the optional. Toraen 04:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, scratch WC, thanks to Monkey See, Monkey Do. Toraen 04:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, just use IAU and win. Fucks over other runners though :p  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 05:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * IAU might be recharging at that point since the destroyers are right before the monkeys. Toraen 05:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, I got my computer back so time to work on trying this. I was thinking Shadow Meld for the elite. Are there any NPCs where you use shadow of haste after the first shrine by the bridge thing?  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 00:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, what I mean is shadow meld to the first shrine NPC, continue running to the bridge, Shadow of Haste there, continue to second shrine, grab bonus, cancel SoH, cancel Shadow Meld. That would put you back at the first shrine instantly.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 00:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I just tried it. You get stuck on a hill not even an aggro bubble away from the second (third on new map) shrine. You have to run back a ways after getting the second shrine in order for it to work, and the destroyers might be in the way. Since you can't IMS until you're past most of the hill, you have to be careful. Seems workable though if your farmer is fast enough (most good ones will be). I rarely get to the other shrines nowadays anyway. Toraen 04:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Dont really get what you're saying. I'm also confused because #2 on the map doesn't give points.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 05:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Talking to the wrong guy ftl.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 05:13, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I added a variant section with a brief usage to try and clear it up. Also, lol. Toraen 05:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Going the other way is faster.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 07:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * To expand on that, meld to 5, SoH at the start of the bridge by 4 at around 20 kills, get 3 shrine bounty, cancel SoH, get 4 shrine bounty, run about a compass and a half, cancel meld, and get 5th shrine bonus. I was getting 3 shrines+bounty consistently. Problem is a non-stance IMS is necessary. I ran this:

It helps to run with a partner so you can step off of each other and heal with ebon.  Life  21:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Darn, my ranger can't run that (no non-elite, non-stance IMS). I'll keep it in mind though for if I ever get stuff done on my assassin. Toraen 01:20, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Owait, Mindbender might work in place of IAU, since you don't need it for that route. Something like this for an any/A build:

Toraen 01:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, although a relatively high asura rank would be needed. You need as much speed as possible when under SoH so you dont have to run around at the shrine avoiding redhands. Sorry about kinda logging off earlier. I can show you the run if you want.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 01:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Death's retreat or return in the optional btw. Death's charge isn't really used. I use it sometimes on my way to #6 on the map.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 02:00, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for showing me the run. Too bad we had such a terrible farmer though (with lag to boot). I'll do a write-up for the new build if you don't beat me to it. Toraen 05:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I didnt do that great of a job explaining it =\. I'm debating on whther i should submit it.  Life [[Image:WikiLOD7.gif]] 05:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the start of it is here, feel free to throw in usage and whatnot and I'll clean it up if need be. Also feel free to delete any terrible theorycraft I put on that build. Toraen 05:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
