Raptor With Sin
Shadow Phoe
Is it even possible to farm raptors in hm with a sin after the sf nerf?

Well if you mean farm raptors for drops, good luck with your sin, if you are farming for reputation, I advise that you just get a elementalist to leech off of.

stop making new trades over and over, like 10 new Raptor farming threads...

Ugh... My only elementalist right now is a E/R stuck in prophecies. Unless I'm mistaken, I have to do all those Crystal Desert quests in order to get my attribute point bonuses. It might be easier to start a E/Me from scratch on Nightfall. I could get her run up to Gunnars Hold and just knock out a bunch of Norn Boxing dungeon runs.
Shadow Phoe
Ahh alright guess i will dust off the old ele then.

If your thinking of using [Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] he may not even have it, but with that and mabey the ss skill, I cant rememeber, to make up for the 1/2 dmg.
Shadow Phoe
Rank 2 on my sin, should I try to get it higher and attempt to farm it?
SirNazron
That would be my advice its alot more fun than leeching.
okashii
just tested this build works easily (Hard Mode, kills boss and 25 raptors for bonus)

<note: Im max vanguard>

I couldn't get the build below 4 - 5 minutes.
Try this one:
[build;OwZTkY/8ZS6jHRnBZIXkHCu0tEA]
Does it in 2 minutes but half damage can make the boss raptor interesting.

No idea, its not my build, I just converted okashii's code to Icons 
okashii
checked my time (Hard Mode, Boss killed, 25raptors for bonus)
1 minute on GW clock <so below 2 minutes for sure> (around 1:30)
plus I like to use Grasping Earth & You move like a dwarf (mainly for 2sec knockdown) so that Broodmother never runs away from me
<note: to get bonus for 25 kills you have to recast sliver for the third time but its still below 2 minutes>
I also checked the Intensity version (Im rank 7 sunspear, so the damage from Sliver is 21 [18 on glyph of elemental power])
Im max vanguard, and my assasin has 71 energy [asura rank 7 for Edification]

ahhh nice! thanks so much, just need to get my ebon rank up for now

Build looks good Okaashi, just one question, you will have had to use a hoke point yeh?
okashii
no need for choke point
Grasping Earth & You move like a dwarf do the trick
I just usually stand near the rock when I start casting
one more obvious tip:
when you are running to the cave after you got the asuran bounty, near the cave press and hold ctrl and target the Broodmother so you dont have to do it during the fight

Ive managed avg 4 mins with similar sin build , rank 4 asuran and i use same skills as 1,2,3,4 then vipers,radiation field,deaths charge and instead of eboh i use intensity .
Also the choke point - ive found the big rock thats between u and broodmother ... after u kill her move round the rock keeping it on ur left and there will be a point thru slowly moving where all the mob will come to you and wont split.

best HM sin raptor farm post nerf (about 1:30):
glyph of swiftness
deadly paradox
shadow form
shadow refuge
sliver armor
radiation field
black powder mine
vipers defense
requires high pve ranks
use sliver armor to kill boss, then cast the last 3 skills in the above order to degen the nestlings to death. if sliver armor fails to target boss, heal through his touch attack, and try again when sliver armor recharges.

i use this to farm raptors:
[A/Me;OwVj8xe5QS8ILB6MmAwA2gsgBMA]
and this if i want to kill boss:
[A/Me;OwVj4lD5HT8ILB6MmAwAsgBMuMA]
It requires some thinking to use them, its not spam skills like theres no tomorrow, you have to pay attention to your and mobs positions. Not the fastest but the safest.

What makes you think this?
Can you provide some reliable source for this info?

Ive seen it on wiki and developer notes sf is on the list of skills that are being adjusted but in a way to allow its use without the 50% dmg reduction - so yes it may be buffed but doubt its bk to normal ... probably 25% dmg reduction.
We`ll all know later tonight if/when anet does the update

Yea i only just found out when i saw a diff thread - anets early for a change 
Shadow Phoe
and I've tried with slivers and its so much faster now
uzumaki
yea ^-^ i only have to cast sliver twice now to get 25+ kills
1 minute runs <3 SF buff

So I have a question, for mainly farming hm raptors (for event weekends) what is the best/ quickest farmers to use? I am making an assassin which can use the perma sliver and farm ranks for other stuff.
I also have an elementalist that can nuke everything if need be.
Just curious as I haven't been able to bring in many event items during the past weekend events.
Also, if someone could post builds for either e/a or a/e that are the fastest I would be appreciative since I haven't used the builds since some of it was nerfed before.
