Ok, so Im at work atm just browsing around and my eye catches this, I look threw it and I found that it didnt tell you what rank LB and Norn you need so I decided to ask here.

Link to the build - Any/P Stygian Farmer (Raven Blessing)

Thanks in advance.

Hi there. made the build, suprised to see my little creation on guru.

What LB rank are ya? I do fine with r8 LB and r5 norn. You are probably better off grinding LB over Norn, the damage increase per rank is much higher, and a couple ravenheart leeches(which are fairly cheap if you sell the gems you get from it) will max you out, which is much faster to max too.

Feel free to drop me a pm in game, have a few other ideas that could work if your titles aren't high enough yet.

Why do you use nature's renewal for the /ranger variant? Do they cast enchants or something I am guessing?

To speed up the run for p/any could you bring ice imp? Or would the combined deep freeze and aoe of raven's cause them to scatter?

Just a thought, but this build works because you use NPCs to block. Apart from the possibility of scatter, a summon would add an additional ally for them to target. You can always test to see.

Yeah my comp has been freaking out so I couldn't test it at the moment. I just know that if they trigger their aoe "time frame" it will cause scatter. So if you cast raven swoop too fast or whatever their ai needs for them to scatter then increasing dps could end up backfiring.

Mesmers or Monks have it easier though since they can run by ural's hammer, arcane echo and RoJ. Then just use cry of pain to finish them all off.

I am just trying to figure out possibilities to speed up any/p runs. Just don't know how fast will cause (if any) melee scatter.
