Build talk:D/N Raptor Farmer

So far it doesn't do enough damage to kill reekoff but does kill the raptors. I don't have optimal equipment so its hard to stay alive-- Relyk  talk  05:25, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Eternal Aura so you rez yourself, and then you pop shield of force, MoP + kill em? -- [[image:Chieftain Alex Sig.jpg|19px]] Chieftain  Alex  12:03, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Add "Finish Him!" for rekoff? Or add Sand Shards, at 12 earth prayers that +200 damage to everything adjacent to you. --Jimmyjam 21:07, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to farm with N/D?-- God  Kamil  11:43, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Just turn the W/any into a D/any version? Falrach 12:36, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * you have to use dervish primary because of extend enchantments, it's easier to survive as warrior since you get a shield-- Relyk  talk  21:26, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Wouldn't you want Windwalker Insigs instead of Blesseds? Azhkanizkael 05:14, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Disable 1-3 & 6 on hero. As soon as you enter, hit 4 and get blessing. Cast 5 on you and head towards cave. Plant hero at tree and cast 1-3 on you.
 * 2) For first build cast MoP on first raptor and ball them up. When approaching Rekoff's brood, but before you get there, hit 2. Once you stop, hit 3&4 immediately, then wait just a bit and hit 5&6. Cast MoP again on another raptor and then hit 7&8.
 * 3) For second build hit 3&1 at cave's entrance, then cast MoP on first raptor and ball them up. When approaching Rekoff's brood, but before you get there, hit 3. Once you stop, hit 4&5 immediately, then wait just a bit and hit 6. Cast MoP again on another raptor and then hit 7&8.

Equipment: Windwalkers, vitae and superior vigor. Weapon: Scythe with "I Have the Power" and 20% enchanting mod. Counters: Interrupts.

Advantage of second build is an unblockable, uninterruptable Eremite's Attack.

While either build can take out the nestlings if you don't get interrupted, killing Rekoff is not as easy as the W/N or N/W versions. Either build requires good timing to be effective.

Now to improve them! Sardaukar  04:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * EoE on the hero? works for the Any/W raptor farm. 83.248.186.171 07:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * finally a reason to finish EotN on my alt account (has my toucher and derv) just 2 missions away -_- --Bluetapeboy 21:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * lol I tried a build like this on my necro (N/D) like 2 months back Ɍɨɟƺʮ 08:01, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

So does this do more damage than the warrior one, at the cost of higher chance of death? or does mysticism and mirage cloak actually make you stronger...
 * It kills the mob exactly the same way the warrior does, why would you need more damage?-- Relyk 08:26, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

what i love about this build
you dont need all the raptors to kill rekoff compared to the warrior version. one time a group of 8 left the mob, bet rekoff still died. means i can be less lazy on my raptor runs.--68.227.202.246 00:48, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Meta
Should this be tagged for meta, since this is seen almost as much as warrior version? Dacookiemaster 22:51, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get this to work. The raptors block my scythe with critical agility, which means MoP doesn't trigger. If this means the build is useless then no, it shouldn't be meta. Again, though, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. LarryJerry1
 * VoS damage ignores blocks like Hundred Blades does, and it's what matters for the spike. The scythe's base damage is irrelevant. If you aren't doing damage, it means you don't have VoS up or eremite's got interrupted (which shouldn't happen if Dust Cloak worked). --  Toraen   talk  05:11, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * i hope they dont block with critical agility, because that is a pve-only skill, if u mean critical defenses maybe that might happen. Dacookiemaster 13:35, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't work?
I can't get this to work, all raptors die but the boss always end up with ~40% health left. >_>Zehel03 18:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds like you have taken too long to ball the foes, and the first MoP has worn off? Do make sure that both raptors with MoP on are beside you when spiking.. [[image:Chieftain Alex Sig.jpg|19px|link=User:Chieftain Alex]] Chieftain   Alex  18:43, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * :o, thx, I actually forgot about hitting the targets with MoP! I now casted the second one on a target next to the other one with MoP to be sure that I actually get both of them :D. Zehel03 12:09, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well done. :D [[image:Chieftain Alex Sig.jpg|19px|link=User:Chieftain Alex]] Chieftain   Alex  12:21, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm having a similar problem, but for some reason the first Raptor I cast MoP on keeps breaking aggro and lags behind. He doesn't follow me to the spot where I need to kill the boss. Any suggestions? BrianG 18:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Make sure you do not have both Fall Back and Make Haste on you when starting the round-up. They don't stack beyond 33% but still cause earlier aggro breaks when combined. -- Toraen   confer  18:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Just checked that. I'm not overlapping speed boosts. The Rapter with MoP on him will follow me for a second, then just stop and stand near the first part of the cave. Maybe he's getting body blocked by other raptors or stuck on a rock? I'm having a lot of trouble getting him to follow me to the boss. Sometimes I'm able to do it by re-aggroing him, but then it's hard to focus on aggroing enough other Raptors. Could this have anything to do with my life total? It's a bit low but I thought that only mattered in a group? BrianG 20:30, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Does this build work in Normal Mode? I haven't completed EotN yet so maybe that's the problem? BrianG 20:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It is. You can do Norm, but then you should use something like drunken master to ball without breakage, i think Falrach 21:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Ahhh, thank you! Good to know it is not just my lack of skill. Unfortunately it's not mentioned anywhere on the build page! Perhaps I will do an edit to add that. BrianG 01:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Only 10 raptors spawn in NM, hence why farming NM is a bad idea. You can avoid breaking aggro by walking backwards.-- Relyk 01:51, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely more than 10 in the cave all together. I was able to take down at least 15 or 20, but it wasn't enough to kill the boss. Thanks for the tip but I'm just going to redirect my efforts to finishing EotN and then come back to this.  :) BrianG 21:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I find this much easier to run in hm than in nm, and actually created it for that purpose. Although you die faster if you're not careful, and it takes practice, it's easier to aggro the raptors than in nm. Also with the speed boosts you can do it faster than in nm.

Linking pages
i noticed that the W/N and N/W version were linked on this page but on the other pages this version wasn't linked under See also, or anywhere on the page, i was wondering if it should be included on the other pages as well (Xkewl 00:03, 29 May 2012 (UTC))
 * Be bold and do it yourself. You've already justified why it should be added.-- Relyk 00:21, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok wasn't sure if i had to ask... (Xkewl 00:29, 29 May 2012 (UTC))
 * Don't have to ask anyone, it's a wiki after all. Better to get your change reverted than change nothing. And someone would get a foot up the butt if they reverted a logical and simple change like you suggested.-- Relyk 00:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * alright thanks havn't been changing stuff on wiki alot so didn't know =D (Xkewl 00:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC))
