I'm thinkning of rushing my ele to rata for this weekend to do some farming, but all the builds seem to rely on mindbender and my asuran level is...well 0. Is mindbender a deal breaker for this build? Please post any thoughts/builds.

TY

IF anyone needs a taxi to Rata Sum you can wisp me in game

now the sad part is that its a long run, takes time and we all know the fuel prices these days :P I already run Faithless there today and charged him 10K, so I will have to do the same to everyone now :P

sorry for the letdown to everyone that hoped it is free, but time=money

note: if you have an ele 10K is not a lot <just sell 14unids from the raptor cave>

edit: oh...forgot about the happy part :P I can run there even from LA or Boreal Station

Abedeus said he might need a run there so I thought I'd share an option :P

You can swap out mind bender for Armor of Mists (in the E/A fire build), but it requires a bit more skill.

I just use this
Fire Attuenment
Flame djinns Haste
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Firestorm
Glyph of sacrafice
Meteor Shower
Bed of Coals

Seem to work fine for me, although after the nerf to Falme djinns haste I usually only get around 25 raptors instead of the full 33.

That works without PvE skills. However, your killing power is somewhat reduced, and if Sliver doesn't target the boss first, you die. [wiki]Intensity[/wiki], [wiki]Ebon Battle Standard of Honor[/wiki], and [wiki]Air of Superiority[/wiki] are sort of needed to make a fast and efficient run.
