The Raptor Farm?? Where Else??

vaettir farming is one of the easiest ways to get good money, it requires minimal skills and can be done with a sin but you need to run invisi sins with perma shadow form. No you don't, I run it with my elementalist + the following build:

[Deadly Paradox] [Shadow Form] [Mindbender] [Ebon Escape] [Dark Escape] ["I am Unstoppable!"] [Feigned Neutrality] [Death's Charge]

You don't need perma shadow to farm the first guys there, nor do you need it to run to the place, if you've done it for a while.

You don't need perma shadow to farm the first guys there... As in, kill them before your Shadow Form runs out?

As in, kill them before your Shadow Form runs out? Well you might not kill them before SF runs out, but when it does run out odds are they will be knock-locked from the kegs so it won't matter

Thought i would post this here as it is a basic GW question so here it is??

I am currently using this build for Raptor Farming
[Glyph of Renewal][Stoneflesh Aura][Armor of Earth][Sliver Armor][Magnetic Aura][Ether Feast][Channeling][Mantra of Resolve] Very slow ELE farm - go read up in farming forums...

Something I noticed while keg-farming vaettir yesterday.

If I just dropped kegs on them, they'd die quickly, and I'd get 4-5 drops, excluding Glacials and Tomes. This is killing 24 and 36, respecively. One or two of the drops would be gold, the rest white.

If, however, I bring them to low health using kegs, and then sliver them, I many more drops, but almost no golds. Purples, blues, whites, etc. Not one gold, though.

You can use an Obsidan Flesh build on an ele to farm the vaettir. Pretty easy to use I do not have this problem. Slow kills maximise drops, whites, blues, purples and golds. Provided you want these for salvaging into mats, then it is worth the effort. What I do is farm Raptors, Gates of Kryta, Nightfall and Factions areas every now and then to avoid triggering the Farming Code nerf.

For Vaettirs I recommend putting a running skill on the bar to avoid the Wurm and others when running to the location. Also, it helps the movement speed when under the effects of Obs Flesh. I use blessed insignias on all 5 armors as I find using Geomancers only for Vaettirs and replacing them too troublesome. It works well. I don't see the reason why anyone would want to use only one build for Raptors to farm elsewhere as you can always switch builds using your templates. Furthermore, there is no one single build suitable for farming different areas.
