Archive:Rt/Me Vengeful Raptor HM Farmer

The Vengeful Raptor build combines the powerful restoration of a ritualist as well as its life stealing to solo farm the raptor nestlings cave in Hard Mode, while constantly maintaining energy and avoiding interrupts. KEEP IN MIND this build CANNOT solo the boss group. Total count will be 24 raptors, 1 raptor shy of the asuran bonus, although if brave enough you can sometimes kill off 1 raptor from the boss group to earn the bonus.
