used to farm them with my perma sin with a death blossom build, after the nerf used burning speed, which turned out to be a faster and more efficient run. Drops a decent amount of golds, good to stock up on salvage kits for iron and wooden planks and glittering dust. Lots of mesmer tomes as well as glacial stones.

how do you deal with scatter in hard mode? (using burning speed build)

baddies don't scatter from health degen.
okashii
then how will you explain the fact that they did scatter when I went to try the burning speed build on them? (kudos for the idea I didnt know vaettirs burn)
(note: hard mode, and I even tried doing it on low hp)
and for some reason they never scatter when Im using the E/Me build
(pure AoE)

The scatter question in hm generally has been covered many times.
Its sometimes not the "AOE" that causes the scatter but when foes hit low hp and they run off - main cause can be aoe ( non degen/disease but dmg ) like sliver/soj etc but disease/degen can cause same effect.
NM can be bad enough but HM scatter is a pain at times specially when tryin to chase a mob and the casters wont stay still untill all melee are dead and u cant catch the melee bloke as hes avoiding you - in a way its comical.

When I used to farm these, I used Tenai's Crystals/Crystal Wave/acrance echo/ glyph of swiftness/ obsidian flesh/stoneflesh aura/mantra of earth/storm djinns
Each run ( 60 foes ) takes about 5 minutes in HM, and I remember getting 2-5 golds each time

like all hot farm spots they just burn out. i remember when i frst started this it was money! seriously i think if you knuckled down and went hard you could make 50k a day easy in golds dyes and mesmer tomes. (dont forget those oh so special map pieces.) anyways it seems to have gone the way of every other hot spot. just like your favorite fishing spot, you fish long enough the fish's go away! ive done it quite a bit recently and average 1 or 2 golds per in and out. just an FYI i use the 2 tenais + sliver and they dont seem to scatter all that much. in a big mob a bunch will float out a little then wand them quick they come back in.

I dont think the spot has changed in drops, all farming spots are sporadic to your characters. The bar i used was an E/Me
Obs flesh
Glyph of Swiftness
Stoneflesh Aura
Mantra of Earth
Tenai's Crystals
Crystal Wave
Sliver Armor
Light of Deldrimor/Arcane Echo/Run Skill
Typically i used Light of Deldrimor as energy is never a problem and it isnt too bad armor ignoring damage.

If you ever wanna do it burning style you even got it on one of my post there. Just MoR + LF does the job (even at Fire magic level 4, it works)
You can eeeeven do it with a ranger + bonder(or hero) to get perma obsiflesh (with QZ), also posted there with template code...
no more discussion needed :S

Ok ok, more details, i can assure you that is about 15 Shadow arts and 9 water magic, 9 fire magic... Vaettir AI is "uneffective", so they dont flee (ok, almost) even with lava font. If people used the search option.....
okashii
Use the A/E burning build on vaettirs and you will see that they scatter on hard mode, I just want TechnoSword to explain what trick he uses to counter it
so I can see if its really faster then my E/Me build plus its not needed to be a genius to discover that its 12 fire magic and 6 water nos two

about drop rates (and I really farmed this place a lot)
golds : 0-5 per run [2-4 on average, 5 happened very rarely] note: I use Light of Deldrimor inseat of Sliver Armor golds worth mentioning (skins) : Ebonhand Aegis Fuchsia Staff Fiery Bladed Axe Mammoth Blade (more when I remember) rabwatt
I do this run quite often in HM.
After nerf I too tried the burning speed build but found they scattered at about 50% health. 3 always stayed around but made the run over 25mins (I think) for all 60. It was taking me just 9-12mins with sliver I tried the less than 100 health - they still scattered. I tried both caster weapons and swords - they still scattered. I tried radiation field instead of burning speed - they still scatter In NM the "less than 100" trick stops scattering but nothing seems to in HM. So I to am very interested in Technoswords method of stopping scattering As for the op gathering stats, Ive found this run to vary wildly. 0-6 golds (normaly 2-3) 1-11 Glacial stones (normally 4-5) But I like the run cause the golds vary greatly, unlike Raptors :-/ Cheers Damian979
I farm this E/Me all the time in HM, once you have rounded up all of one side in a group go [sliver armor], [arcane echo] [crystal wave] [crystal wave] [teinai's crystals] wait for recharge [arcane echo][sliver armor] [crystal wave] [teinai's crystals]. All dead and if you throw the aoe's boom,boom,boom with no delay you aren't hitting multiple foes for 5 sec or more and there is no scatter.

. Ive just tried using Shadow form and only crystal wave as the damage dealer....... they still scatter. But I think you have hit the nail on the head. Shadow form still uses up the enemys energy while Obsidian does not. So I think the AI only scatters when its health gets low AND it has no energy Time for a wee think to see if I can test that nos two

Hmm, I'm surprised to hear that. I have never tried Shadow Form, just Obsidian Flesh, but I can tell you that I can do just about anything while under Obsidian Flesh, e.g., Burning Speed, Crystal Wave, even Lava Font, and they don't scatter. However, the second I let Obsidian Flesh go down and the Vaettirs are under 50% health, they scatter.
Silverkin
I used to farm those alot aswell, for dmg skills I used Ether Nightmare, Cry of Pain and Teinai's Crystals. They never scattered, I used OF as my elite.
I'm going to try it on my sin anytime soon, and see what will happen. rabwatt
I've only managed to try a couple of things but I cant get OF to say up 100% of the time on an Assassin primary. also running there is a problem..... especially the Mountain Pinesoul... I'll try again when the wine has evaporated

Non-ele primary can't keep OF up indefinitely without other buff like QZ, and you run from longeye's ledge not sifhalla.
TechnoSword
to prevent scatter when you aggro them pull them back to a wall facing right side, they dont scatter
and heres a picture for proof as always

Ah thanks a lot TechnoSword, now I can call off the Hardy Boys ;p
