Ok, this is probably the noobest build ever~lol. I made this just for fun. I think many may have already known this tho.And if you want some professional farming build, please ignore this. This is for someone who can't 55, who can't cast SF.....etc. Also, this is for noob, and it's NM~


Tested build(W/Me)(Dolyak sig isn't really needed):
[build prof=W/Me ins=12 str=12][Ursan Blessing][Mantra of Resolve][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][Dolyak Signet][Signet of Stamina][/build]

Untested but they may work:
[build prof=P/Me ins=12 com=12][Ursan Blessing][Mantra of Resolve][Bladeturn Refrain][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][/build]
[build prof=Me/P ins=12 com=12][Ursan Blessing][Mantra of Resolve][Bladeturn Refrain][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][/build]
[build prof=Rt/Me ins=12 com=12][Ursan Blessing][Mantra of Resolve][Protective Was Kaolai][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][No Skill][/build]

equip: +armor against slashing mods

how to: cast manta resolve and whatever on the bar except UB. cast UB than lure all Raptors except boss group. Smash 1,2,3 whenever they recharge~lol

I think you got your Mantras mixed up for those last three builds.

Even without UB, a warrior wouldn't get too many dmg. I use UB as +armor and the AOE , which can be replaced by many other skills([Skill]kinetic armor[/Skill]/[Skill]armor of earth[/Skill] +dual [Skill]crystal wave[/Skill] would do the same thing). I use UB coz it solve armor+damage+energy at the same time, also because it's URSAN and it fits the title~lol. It's even faster than Vwk(in NM).

this is just for fun tho. I use my ele to farm in HM instead of this~XD

My sin build can kill nearly all the raptors including Rekoff in HM, takes less than two minutes zone to zone.
[skill]Glyph of Concentration[/skill][skill]Dark Escape[/skill][skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Death's Charge[/skill][skill]Glyph of Elemental Power[/skill][skill]Ebon Battle Standard of Honor[/skill][skill]Intensity[/skill][skill]Sliver Armor[/skill]

So you run up to the cave entrance after getting the hunt, cast GoC, then use DE and run around the left of the big pillar rounding up as many as you can. Once GoC starts flashing, cast SF, then keep running until Rekoff's group aggroes.

As soon as she starts moving toward you, cast GoEP, then DC to her when she's near the rock formation, to prevent running. Then use EBSoH, Intensity, and finally SA. While SA is casting, space Rekoff, that for me helps target the boss.

In approximately a half a second, Rekoff explodes, then SA continues on killing everything. Once SF starts flashing, re-cast it, then just do the GoEP/EBSoH/Intensity/SA chain again, this will usually kill between 25 and 30 Raptors, including Rekoff, so you'll get the +75pt bonus for her, between 50 and 60 pts for the individual kills, and usually another 25 or 30 pts bonus when you hit 25 kills.

Not to mention on one run, I've gotten four gold drops, a black dye, two Sin tomes, and a bunch of cupcakes. Probably had close to 20 Claws drop, and seven elite sin tomes so far.

Sorry, why don't you keep your useless, inane, and misinformed opinions to yourself?

On topic, once your Asura rank is high enough, switching out [skill]Glyph of Concentration[/skill] and [skill]Dark Escape[/skill] for [skill]Mindbender[/skill] is an option, especially with a 20% Enchants mod. The only problem with that is you don't get the 50% damage reduction of DE.

If you're comfortable doing so, then you can also add in [skill]Air of Superiority[/skill] since the amount of times this skill triggers will easily get you one or more recharges.

NM Raptors are really easy. I was playing around with it the other day and this build can kill a group (Basically one group is the boss's the other is the rest of the cave) in about 5-8 seconds after your skills are up.

W/E
[Gladiator's [email protected]][Sliver [email protected]][wary [email protected]][finish [email protected]][[email protected]][armor of [email protected]][dwarven [email protected]][lion's [email protected]]

Basically run into the cave, cast armour of earth (your not slowed by much and it helps with aggro) aggro all of the raptors apart from the boss's group. Use Wary Stance then Sliver Armour and Glads Defence, then cast Aftershock if you have the extra energy. They will die in a fews seconds.
This is the part you may have to wait for a bit, wait for your energy and your skills to recharge, then cast Armour of Earth and Dwarvern Stability aggro the boss's group. Use Wary -> Sliver -> Glads again. At this point make sure you are targeting the boss, when he goes under 50% health hit "Finish Him!" and Aftershock (energy permitting). Killing the boss is not 100% so I suggest picking up your items as soon as they are dropped.

Its really fast and easy, and you can somethimes kill the boss (sometimes he gets the best of me -_-)

Good luck getting your birthday cupcakse warriors.

Oh btw I am running this build at 39 energy (some radiants, a totem axe and +8 from the asura title.)
