finally we got a drop event to make some cash i think

although i hate these event threads i need to make one, because someone will create one if i dont

so i tried to farm the raptors with the old nuke build , but because of -50% while in the shadowform they die really slow and run through the hole cave. i also know the splinter armor build, but i'd rather like to nuke them, is there a new way to nuke them ? or did i miss another supermassnukefarmplace to farm event drops?

hope to get some tips to find my way out of the inactivity back to guild wars :P

Dunno about eles but I just grab a guildie and run Rit600/Smite (With Shield of Judgement ) down there. I tend to mop up everything in that cave and then proceed west to other raptor and derv mobs.

Sliver still RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOes them up.
Aggro everything, pull boss, ward of foes/grasping.
PEW PEW game over.
Providing the boss actually dies, and doesnt run in, unsuspecting strike --> twisting fangs you in the face ><

Yup E/Me works fine, can be tweaked though depending on ranks and skills

[stoneflesh aura][armor of earth][sliver armor][glyph of renewal][ether feast][channeling][mantra of resolve][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]

works great for me

In this case (farming raptors HM with an Ele without nightfall skills), I personally use Mantra of Resolve, Armor of Earth, Mental Block, Channeling, Sliver Armor, Mist Form, Magnetic Aura and Ether Feast.

Yes, it takes a lot more than the original, but I haven't found a better option so far.

I usually use my Modded NM raptor builds for my necro.
Also got a NM build for ele and sin, works great under 1 minute per run, with resigning and stuff, and the drops are the same.
Maybe less goldies, but whatever

for the summoner, eggnog, and fruitcake drops, do you guys think its best to farm in NM or HM?

If it's under a min for a HM run, then I don't think running in NM would make a lot of difference, especially when you consider the other good drops you'll get in HM (golds, etc).

always farm holiday items in HM. I do have a good elementalist build that can farm at the secret lair of snowmen, which is usually a good option.

Well the only build i have that can farm raptors is my ranger and it takes 2 minutes in NM and I haven't yet been able to clear in HM. Using the Mist Form build with EBSoH in the variant slot.

after watching some vids i figured out how to get the hm run in a minute or less.
