most likely would have been "There's already a thread about it!", right?

most likely would have been "There's already a thread about it!", right? Well of course theres no real rule, but usually when someone res's stuff a thread necro picture and lolcats ensue.
I also thought the search button displays old threads? Im probably mistaken. But what I ment was its usually "if its not on page 1-2 you probably shouldnt post in it". If the search doesn't display old threads, then you're right. Also Pm'ing the author would probably have been a better option though.
No hard feelings though, it really can go either way.
EDIT: Just re-read the OP and an answer to the question wasn't stated, so it was ok to res it. Though pm'ing the poster probably wouldve been better (considering how long the thread has been dead) theres really no problem. Thread res'ing (even if unjustified) is no big deal anyway.

for the mesmer build how many groups do you aggro in the cave? all at once?
also instead of the glyph of ele power have you thought about using Signet of illusions? That way you could get 16 illusion out of it and rest into fc and inspiration...just trying to figure out how to get air of superiority in there too

I actually have put together a build similar for a Mesmer/Ele and it works great. Still can do 3 minute runs.... I think I will be posting a small guide for it, so people with mesmers can farm raptors also. Not need for using Earth Magic attributes at all for Mesmer...

Signet of Illusions?

People cannot refer newcomers to the search function more or less drastically over and over again, and then, when others actually use that function and post in a thread found, start calling them 'thread necros' and tell them to stop doing so.
That is ridiculous and a no-win-situation for practically everybody who has a question.

That is ridiculous and a no-win-situation for practically everybody who has a question. Look @ post dates, old old news.
Besides, pm'ing the OP or starting a new thread are both very acceptable alternatives, as is posting in this thread. This isnt srs bisnis.

It wasn't even a 1 month res, its allowed. Chill, In fact I applaud IAttackU for not starting a whole new thread for his question. Also this is the farming section, we don't do lolcats here, thats more a riverside thing.

Don't mean to res an old thread but I have a question.
I recently got GWEN and am playing through it on my monk that I usually 55 on. I was wondering if this spot is 55able? Or should I just go through EoTn on my Ele?

Check this topic.
And please don't hesitate to leave questions or comments in there. As long as this forum keeps being haunted by new threads that are either perfectly useless or infringe upon forum rules, we actually *need* people to resurrect the good old threads with builds still viable

nice build. btw [wild st] is blockable. not only that but it's an off-hand attack, which requires the lead attack to hit also. [sliver] at 16 EM gives you a 52% block chance so you have better than 50/50 chance that one of them will miss.

How is it blockable when the skill notes say "This attack cannot be blocked".

/facepalm guess i should read the ENTIRE description. lol. guess you just have to hope the lead attack doesn't hit.
MisterB
[[Wild Strike] did not originally have the unblockable clause, but was updated to increase it's viability. It was kind of silly having an offhand attack to remove a stance when the stance you want to remove blocked it. It was buffed to be more in line with [[Wild Blow] and [[Wild Throw].
Rushin Roulette
has anyone tried running with [churning earth] as this is a HM farm, all foes will be moving faster than normal and will be knowcked down as soon as they try to move away from the AoE.
The downside is teh 3 second cast time, but the upturn is that this is another earth damage dealer for which you will have max att points in the line.

WOOT i just got a Black Dye two Golds and a Lockpick in one run but nothing from the boss ^.^!!!!
Sir Seifus Halbred
Any updated builds? The one I am using goes too slow...
Evera
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but if you attack an enemy running away with a weapon, he'll come back.
I tried this using a spear on my ele, and it worked when Rekoff tried to kite.

I never snare, Never. I just use my staff to bring them back. Instead of ether feast I use air of superiority. Usually Rekoff is pwned in under 5 seconds so her attacks are nearly irrelevant. Nice build specially since Shadow Farm (oops form) was nerfed. God bless Anet, for I am Hating on them.
North Dragon Slayer
the build i use is the same as the first persons, but take out ward against foes (which really isn't needed) and take ebon battle stand of honor or intesity
Burning Freebies
This build works-very well.
I mean, i was trying it out in normal mode, i got 1 white dye! and 1 silver dye in one run. This run is wierd. Lots of good stuff, buy usually nothing from boss. But still a good run because of ele swords, rekoff daggers and dye drops. Whoever thought of this is a genius. Stops Anet nerfing elites!

^^ i bring the same thing except i have glyph of renewal instead of echo and magnetic aura instead of ether feast. things die so fast that you don't need to replenish health.

does this still work in June 2009?
Verene
I use the Me/E variation just fine, and my Mesmer hasn't even done the attribute quests yet (Tyrian-born, and I can't be bothered to do the desert missions). Just sometimes I can't kill the boss (once I get the remaining attribute points I can raise Earth Magic to where it should be so I'll be able to get it every time), but otherwise I can clear the cave no problem.

I guess it's time to revive this thread with the nerf of Mantra of Resolve.
The HM Speed Variant (OgVTMyEzSat8rqUgHKXEu0EICA) still works, but I replace EBSoH with Mental Block (OgVDMZycSrlfVlCmARAwl8QxlA) for a little more security.
I tried using Glyph of Elemental Power to make Stoneflesh Aura last longer for the MoR recharge, but it didn't quite work.
There isn't really time to gather up all nestlings, so I get 28-31 kills at the moment, but very fast runs. Just cast everything before aggro. Cast Mindbender. Aggro everything and run to aggro Rekoff just before recast. Recast everything within Mindbender with MoR. Have fun! Recast MoR whenever available (recharge after rekoff and from air of superiority). You should only have 1min on the /age timer.

OgVEMWyryGZCgKsWGBwOwDlLmKC
Ele/Mesmer
[Channeling]
[Magnetic Aura]
[Mindbender] (Only for a rank 8 or above Asuran], otherwise use [Armor of Mist]
Cast 1-2-3 at cave entrance. Efficiently aggro all roving groups of raptors (don't kill your run by chasing every straggler and having your run skill die prematurely). Once you caught the Broodmother's attention:
[Mantra of Resolve] - 5 second nerf is fine, that's all you'll need
[Sliver Armor]
[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]
[By Ural's Hammer!] ([Intensity] is fine too)
You should be doing about 48 damage per sliver hit depending on your various ranks. Broodmother normally will go down before the sliver runs out. As soon as your get the recharge, go ahead and recast Channeling, Magnetic Aura (and Mindbender too if you are using it). This will aid in your energy not getting drained by Mantra of Resolve absorbing interrupts. When Sliver starts to blink, recast your remaining bar again. Start pickup up your loot now! (";","space",";","space"....). Once your 2nd sliver runs out, the run is over. Zone out and do it again. You should get around 29-31 kills plus the Broodmother.
BTW. HUGE tip. If you didn't already know this trick: When you run our to Riven Earth, run back to Rata Sum through the gate, and run back out to Riven Earth again. Now when you type "resign" you will be right next to the gate every time. And PLEASE don't screw around worry about taking leechers (unless you really want to help someone), they DON'T do anything for your drops.
Use a SUPERIOR Earth run and staff with 20% enchanting mod. Some people like to use [Air of Superiority], but I feel it is unnecessary. 2 casts of boosted sliver armor is really all you need to get about 30 kills. A third cast to kill like 1-2 more is just a waste of time.
