takes 40-45 seconds for a kill with at average total run including pickups/zoning of 62seconds (measured over 50 runs). It kills 24 raptors per run, giving 1394 raptors/hr.

Build2 [raptorbomb2;OQkkEtUbFaOUXRaB92WRfRexO4gF][video]
takes 44-50 seconds to kill with an average total run including pickups/zoning of 67 seconds (measured over 50 runs). It kills 33 raptors per run, giving 1773 raptors/hr.

Build 1 also managed to open 12 chests over those 50 runs. Giving a treasure hunter a value of 1min (average time/chest to in fronis) then this still only gives it 1649 raptors/hr so you should definitely do broodmother's group.

14 sword or higher if desired [ can probably spec less aswell ]
10 str
9 tactics

it important u have 25-30 energy at least [important: have your title on, its necessary]

full knights suggested, sup absorb on chest

sprint -> round them up -> dolyak -> endure -> HB ->TTL -> urals -> wary -> whirlwind attack -> now laugh

edit: added smaller screen shot








enjoy straight forward

happy racking up festive items / golds / tomes

No point in taking your name from party screen and leaving the "Assigned to " on the item you highlight in a 1 man party

@ topic

Looks funny, will try it now

[build prof=W sword=14 str=9 tactics=10][hundred blades][to the limit][by ural's hammer@10][wary stance][whirlwind attack@10][dolyak signet][endure pain][sprint][/build]

Just for people who might want to see it in gwBBCode. Impressive build, btw, I'll try it out tomorrow and I'll probably add it to the Raptor Farming Compendium thread, too.

Can't kill boss, do not want.

[superraptors]

true, but its super fast in nm/hm just for nestlings - definitely use for next farming event,

hm is abit harder just gotta be quick so u dont die b4 u hit whirling

pull the 2 nestling groups to any where because they dont scatter anyways due to the fact they all die no matter what

EDIT:


works on vermin - only the main group where they patrol in a bunch

look at OP's build again. make sure you don't activate anything else between wary stance and whirlwind attack and it won't get interrupted.

[great dwarf armor@10]

GDA works wonders. cast it before aggroing the first raptor and it'll be up for the duration of the run, making aggroing and killing in HM easier, as replacement for Dolyak signet.

[Scythe O F Glory]

Very similar to the Sand Shards build (derv and war). Still good though.

whats the point if this build cant kill the boss.

Event farming.

oh u.

I stopped killing boss during events, I rather get the limited time drops instead of a boss that's spawning for eternity.

[Sora267]

Tested it, it takes a few runs to get used to mashing everything before you die, it's like a race to beat the clock!

My runs take about a minute, give or take 5 seconds, including zoning. This will be my primary CC shard farm next week, as the kills-per-time ratio is about the same, or higher than, keg bombing Vaettirs. It goes faster if you order the skills in the order that you use them in (just stick Sprint, Dolyak, and Endure Pain before the other skills), and that way, you can just hit 12345678.

Once I get bored, I'll add this to the Raptor build list thread. Kudos to you, OP!

its because using ebon standard it has a casting time and can also be interupted

[Nechtan Thaumaturge]

Nice work on the Hundred Blades + Whirlwind Attack combo.

Since you're going straight Warrior so far, you might want to look at taking on a Necromancer secondary and checking out Mark of Pain also. It triggers on each of the activations of Hundred Blades and does armor-ignoring damage. You ought to be able to double your damage output without much trouble. Since it lasts 30 seconds, you can cast it before you aggro and not have to worry about interrupts. You'll also have access to Enfeebling Blood, which can help with tanking.

[superraptors]

mark of pain would be a nice addition but , its already over kill with 20+ raptors and not neccessary but enfleebling blood would definitely be useful here, ill test it abit

yeh what marty said is right, what you see is already viable but do as you wish to modify to your own way if u think its better and btw, urals hammer is not needed either so it can also free up a slot

[Marty Silverblade]

Doubt you'd get much out of Enfeebling Blood; they all blow up at once and Endure Pain is there incase you need it.

[GhostKairi]

Looks like you beat me to it m8. Ah well. Nice Job.

[Nechtan Thaumaturge]

I'm with you as far as the Raptors go, superraptors and Marty Silverblade, but I'm thinking Mark of Pain and, conceivably, Enfeebling Blood can be useful somewhere down the road when you go to adapt the build to other foes. Also, they make a N/W variant look possible. Mostly, that extra damage is just hard to ignore.

[RazorEdge]

Here's how I do this:

I kill all the raptors nestlings in hardmode, except the boss.

[100 Blades Raptor Bomb;OQATEVKXRKtQlJVsvIvYHcrorAA]

No real equipment really needed. Energy should be around 30'ish, but the asura title takes care of that for me.

Run in, gather everyone and press skill 1 and 2, hold for everyone to ball up then follow with 3, 4 and 5.
Wait for Whirlwind attack to charge then hit that and endure pain. Loot before boss kills you.
Probably the fastest way I've done this yet. And just in time to farm wintersday consumables.

Protectors defense really helps for the survival.
