Why is raptor farming so popular?

Then post a video of an end to end 60 second cycle which kills 30 raptors



This makes no sense, I am saying that 60 seconds isn't realistic, what makes you think I could do it in 50?

I farm these as a ranger (with boss) so for me its over 2 minutes, eles are certainly faster, just not as fast as you are claiming.

Am willing to eat my words though when you post that video. To make a complete farm cycle 60 seconds, raptors have to be killed with at least 10 seconds margin. Especially if you want to have time to pick up drops and rezone in 10 seconds.

I feel I do not need to prove you anything, there are people who I have given this build to (incl. Scarn) who can with ease use it to clear the raptor cave within one minute. Feel free to ask for a demonstration in game, I am not sharing the build.

Just another unsubstantiated farming claim. I'll leave you to your delusions.

The important thing you stated is still basically true though, its a lot of high level kills really fast, which is why the run is popular.

hell, i can run droks on my derv charging 2k a head and get close to 100k per hour, dont have to worry about farming code there :-p
not really surprised that fay missed this to go after kotte..

you run droks on a derv...ok sure. 2k a head times 7 is 14k...so you can run it in 12 min flat? and thats only 70k/hr at that...seriously...go /e-peen somewhere else

Party size in Beacon's Perch is six. At 2K per person, this person would need to do the Drok's run in 6 minutes to get 100K/hr. That's excluding time to form a party. Claim is complete BS.

Claim is complete BS. Thats right,, I'd forgotten that. Been kinda a long time since I got a droks run. Rather funny that someone will contest a run saying that it takes 3 seconds over the stated min, while ignoring someone who can't do even a third of what he is saying....

Like I said, people exagerate their claims. But yeah, I missed that one, I actually didn't read it. I have challenged running claims before. Time is generally the basis of where people exagerate, they conveniently forget all the bits you can't ignore, zoning times, pickup times, skill activation times etc. With runners, you can't even run an empty zone in those times. When challenged you always get the same reply, they are good and you are noob. Yet you will never see a full video showing the claims, just screen shots and part vids.

Not to take anything away from Kotte's screenshot, 48 seconds for that part run is faster that I would have credited, but it still doesn't equal a 60 second full run. And Mr. Undisclosed, I think Kotte is quite capable of speaking ,without guildies chipping in to weaken his argument. there are also macros you can use which are not against EULA that can make it even faster than that. c'mon man, get over it. he was off by 3 seconds, by your accounting, for this particular run. i'm sure he has some that are faster and some that are slower. personally i do the boss group, including boss also and consistently get 1:40 full runs, including zoning and everything. don't need shrine blessing anymore since it's maxed, though, and i'm sure kottis' is also.

@OP, raptor runs are so popular because it is a farming run with a high concentration of easily killable enemies in a tight space that can be repeated very quickly. there isn't a particular skill any of the raptors use that can severly hurt you and during special drop weekends, they can easily net you 50k per hour plus asuran rep points and gold items to ID or sell.

You seem to be the one with a weakend argument.

ok...i think we have all had enough of kotte's guildies joining the thread. Let it die?

and build-wise, its pathetically easy to guess what he is running... Lol TAM is all over Guru.
And yes, the build is, maybe not patheticy easy, but still rather easy to figure out.
