User:Xiay/Raptor Farming HM

I take no credit for this build. However it is the fastest way to kill Raptors in the Raptor Cave ouside Ratta Sum in Hard Mode. It will not kill the Broodmother. Furthermore it will not kill the raptors as fast as the Normal mode farming build but may provide Assasin Tomes and valuable gold weapons along with other drops.
