No it isn't, i use E/A and it works perfectly, the reduced SF time doesn't really matter because of the massively increased damage.

For the optional, i use fire attunement, with the increased deadly paradox cost now, you need every bit of energy you can (Or so i've found, might just be my low Asura title. )

Ok I've been doing this meself too now for a few days and the best build I've found is this....


DEADLY PARADOX
SHADOW FORM
GLYPH OF ELEMENTAL POWER
METEOR SHOWER
GRASPING EARTH -- KEY SKILL - stops em running away so quickly
BED OF COALS - aoe so get your other 2 skills down fast after using this
INFERNO - not what i would call an aoe so they dont run
FLAME DJINS HASTE

15 fire - due to paradox increased energy cost
2 earth
7 energy storage - due to paradox energy increase
12 shadow arts

Use them in that order too except for the start when you round up the raptors.
And dw too much about dropping to 15 fire instead of 16 as the glyph will bump it back up to 17.

I don't see the point in tht dazed/interupted sig, never got the chance to use it once I Had stopped and if I used it to start with then it usually ran out just after I used paradox :/

Anyway, gl & hf

Screw that, use this instead.

Fire: 16
Shadow: 11
Energy Storage: 3-4

Energy Required: I run with 75 and usually have about 8-9 left after the full nuke sequence.

Glyph of Concentration
Shadow Form
Firestorm
Glyph of Sacrifice
Meteor Shower
Bed of Coals
Flame Djinn's Haste
Feigned Neutrality

Usage: Run to cave using FDH. Stop before aggro, cast FDH and then Glyph of Concentration. Run in and aggro as many as possible. As soon as you stop, hit Feigned Neutrality, and then Shadow form ASAP. Feigned Neutrality SHOULD keep you alive long enough to cast Shadow Form.

Then just use the nuke skills in the order shown. With 16 fire magic, the raptors are all dead within 7 seconds ish

There really is no need for glyph of concentration, it's just a wasted slot in my opinion.

To the folks that are doing this farm, just try glyph of ele power instead of concentration, see how you get on.

Of course you are free to not bother and doubt me completely but then you have no basis for that said doubt.

If you're good farmers, which I'm sure you are then have a go

and for the record, my ranger (who gets to id all the golds i farm with my ele) is now up to 230 ident's so I can't be doing bad now can I?

In my opinion just do as everyone else uses. Glyph of sacrifice helps you cast meteor shower instantly, which results in faster runs because you can spam your damage skills faster.

Just use the PvX one in a different order

Fire Attunement
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Firestorm
Glyph of Sac
Meteor Shower
Bed of Coals
Flame Djinn's Haste

Cast 1 and 8 just before agro and then round them up without getting hit (1-2 is alright), once everything is agroed used 2 and 3. If you chain 4-8 (No stops in between) they will be KD'ed by the time Flame Djinn's hits and they will die without running (1-3 may run beforehand). Then you have a few seconds to pick up drops before S Form ends.
