Why do people always ruin threads with stupid cat pictures? They aren't funny.

Also, for greater justice, simultaneously nerf Mindbender. Then, one day later, boost it insanely, but make it Mesmer only!

I'm not sure if Expunge is a touch spell or not to be honest.

But the nestlings don't have twisting jaws.

And if you mean the boss that you aggro with it, that will just lead to people using some sort of cover enchant right after shadow form (unless you make twisting removal all enchants... but gah, with HM Asura areas, that would be really tough to vanquish just in normal play. That skill is overpowered enough).

I was referring to the mother. Just realized TJ doesn't have as short of a recharge as I thought.

They could add expunge which would remove enchants as it does remove shdow form according to wiki. It would remove 2 actually as crit defences would be disabled so it would screw over those builds. It would be funny to see the threads though I have to admit.

To be honest I think the raptor farming is quite regulated, now I'm new to this whole business. Just this weekend was actually the first time I devoted my warrior to trying this spot out. I got some great stuff, nothing very very rare, but some good pocket change and a few perfect mods for my own use. After about 10 runs my drops were absolute crap, and by that time anyways I was pretty tired of farming.

I'll try vermins and UW next, maybe even discover some farming areas for myself Fenrir's Bastion? Hmm... It beats title grinding.

Nevin...drops fluctuate. I did raptor farming nonstop every time I was on during the weekend and got good runs, bad runs, excellent runs, dead runs...I had one run with a single party favor, two whites, and that's it. Next run got me 9 party favors and 4 golds.

Could be worse, I finally decided to give them a try this weekend over my normal farming spots (always can add something new) and after a few hours I had...one gold weapon and a whopping average of 6k/hour (yes, in HM). Hulking Stone Elementals do MUCH better than that and the pretty much suck. No perfect mods either (the gold was all one off, common skin, *and* high req). Given the speed runs I've seen of people who are used to doing them it looks like I could have bumped the GPH to a whopping 8 or so (which isn't bad, but it isn't great either). So, I've yet to have a good run for my drops to "degrade".

Though, from what I read I just had a quite long period of bad luck, since I have the build I guess I will do it some more when I get bored of the areas I like doing better.

Serves them right for carrying so much booze, sugar, and fireworks. Kinda sounds like a bunch of red necks down there in that cave. Hm, bet the Broodmother had all them chit'lens.

Poor raptor nestlings. I almost feel bad for killing babies and their queen mom. Wait a minute, I almost feel like Ripley from the movie Aliens!
