Indeed it does.

The other day i went with a e/a to see how quick it was, god it is fast. The thing that anoyed me most about the experience is that she got a ele sword

This one Works fine

The build I run is as follows :
Stoneflesh aura, Armor of earth, Glyph of elemental power, Magnetic Aura
Sliver Armor, Channeling, Mantra of Resolve, and Air of Superiority (better) OR Ether Feast

points :
9 fast cast (8+1)
14 inspiration (10+4)
12 earth

The build is simple to use, aggro all the cave (with all enchants except Sliver armor), finishing with the boss group. Then cast Sliver armor attacking the boss with a spear/staff so that he doesn't break aggro.

I strongly recommend to aggro mobs along a wall (on their left) so that they can't run away

S_Serpent's modification to the Advanced build = Super Crazy Rekoff Kill Build :P

Major changes: no using of magnetic aura, addition of Glyph of Renewal (E) for a perma sliver armor build and dropping the snare, so you have the self heal again and a blind. Even with the snare rekoff could run away, without killing her.


The Build:

- Mantra of Resolve
- Stoneflesh Aura
- Armor of Earth
- Channeling
- Glyph of Renewal (Elite) (my modification)
- Sliver Armor
- Blinding Flash
- Ether Feast (modification to add the self heal again)

Attributes:
I'm only using one superior rune anymore since you waste to much HP if you use two to the pity low benefit you might get from it.

Earth-12+1+3 (earth headpiece + superior earth rune)
Inspiration-9
Energy storage-8+1 (minor energy rune)
Air Magic-5 (you could add a minor air rune here but so far I didn't need it)

Equipment:
Insignias are as you wish, really, blessed is good, radiant is good, ...
Superior Vigor rune on you armor
One handed melee weapon is what I prefer with 20% longer enchant and either +5 Energy or faster casting 10%
Offhand: Hajok's Prism (HSR 20% ; +30 hp)


Usage:
The same as the guru advanced build usage, where you you aggro all nestlings in the cave and when you have them all aggro'ed you head for rekoff, cast blinding flash on her (why this is helpfull should be self explanitory) and renewal + sliver for perma sliver.

Now for the reasons its "advanced":
1: The general way this build is best used is better shaped towards someone who has used the previous build allot. You are basically aggroeing the 2 nestling groups as fast as possible then moving along to rekoff - this build is alot faster-paced.
2: You are also facing 120 life stealing + deep wound and bleeding needless to say thats still unnerving. And tricky if rekoff runs off, but her it will come to experience in this run, there are two way of a good rekoff pull and aggro.
3: With the above spike caused by rekoff, you have to be experienced with the use of sliver armor in order too kill her fast enough to survive. Please refer too the below posts, guildmaster caine and others have provided very usefull information regarding the use of sliver armor and various aggro tricks, please also read the notes of this: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Sliver_Armor


Triggering Sliver on Rekoff (my personal opinion):
1° you wait until rekoff is in front of her group and you aggro then, so she get body blocked between her group and the nestlings you already have in aggro.
2° you aggro the rekoff group where the boss is not the closest, but and this is very tricky make sure your not body blocked in the nestlings so that when rekoff runs off you can auto follow her, the more run you do the better you will become.


NOTES/THINGS TO REMEMBER:

--Stoneflesh, armor of earth, mantra of resolve, and channeling are to be on you at all times. Dont just use them when the guide says, use when necessary.

--There is a chance that sliver armor will target the broodmother too late, and there wont be enough raptor aggro left too kill her before she can run away. She will stay away, run in and use twisting jaws, then run away again. Use ether feast too negate twisting as long as possible (it wont work forever). Just follow her like mention in 2° Triggering Sliver on Rekoff

--Remember you lose 6 energy every time a raptor tried to interrupt you. Bear in mind stoneflesh will be a major hassle as with the 2sec cast time.

--Also remember channeling works only when the enemies are near you. If you are gathering aggro, stop, let the raptors catch up, then cast your spell.

--Use the 1 sec cast time spells for energy, as they are hard too try to interrupt with 1 sec cast time.

--When you aggro a new group REMEMBER that every raptor in that group has disrupting stab ready, if you cast stoneflesh when a new aggro gets to you, you're most likely screwed. You're energy will super spike down, ending mantra of resolve, and stoneflesh wont finish.

--Even the 1 sec cast times can be E-Spiked with a new aggro. Try to give a few seconds after a new aggro to let the raptors use they're disrupting stabs.

--If you get surrounded by raptors (cant move) try /stuck, if that doesnt work, just use ward/sliver early and try your best too take down the broodmother. Although its unlikely to do so.

--Keep moving to avoid getting cornered.

--Also timing off your skills is important, before you aggro the rekoff group you should always just have renewed your mantra and enchants to be able to prevail in this farm.
