Faster E/Me Raptors

I stole the W/N idea of using a hero, to speed up my E/Me Raptor farmer. The hero means my Ele doesn't need a running skill on her own bar... I put Intensity in instead. Hero (flagged out of range) doesn't seems to affect my drops. My build and method is below, and link to a video. It's faster than my old Ele build, and kills 1-2 extra Raptors - because you sprint to the cave, and with Intensity added, Raptors die in 7 Sliver hits instead of 8 or 9. The video shows one of my fastest runs (1:21), but an average run is 1:25-1:30 (it depends how spread out the Raptors are).

The question is: Can I make it even faster? Any ideas?

W/N is still about 10+ seconds faster, but I prefer the E/Me because I think it's easier, and it seems to get more loot. (That's based on my observation of W/N's when leeching with one of my other chars. Even with the maximum number of leeches, drops don't seem very good. Could be due to one-at-a-time kills versus Kaboom, or I could simply be wrong).

Also, when event items are dropping (Halloween, I'm looking at you), the speed advantage of W/N's may be reduced, since they have to spend time at the end of the run picking up loot - whereas the Ele picks stuff up as it drops. I expect there will be more for the W/N's to pick up during events.

Link to video

Disable all hero skills, and cast everything manually.
Assign shortcut keys for hero skills 1-3 and to bring up the hero's flag.

The method:
1. Zone out, cast hero Vocal was Sogolon (shortcut key)
2. Target yourself (F)
3. Bring up hero flag (shortcut key), plant it at hero's feet
4. Cast hero Enduring Harmony (shortcut key)
5. When Enduing Harmony is on you, cast hero Make Haste! (shortcut key). You now have 45secs of +33% IMS
6. Run for the cave - target Rekoff on the way, so you can wand her later
7. At cave entrance cast Channeling then Magnetic Aura.
8. Aggro Nestlings
9. While aggroing, cast Mantra of Resolve, so your energy is building back to full.
10. When you have all aggro including boss, cast Mist Form, then EBSoH, then Sliver, then Intensity and BUH.
11. Start wanding Rekoff so she doesn't run off
12. Once Rekoff is dead you can start picking up loot
13. When Sliver icon starts flashing, recast EBSoH, then Sliver, then Mist Form, then Intensity and BUH
14. Pick up loot as it drops.
15. Resign when there's only one Raptor left attacking - the last one either won't die or wastes too much time.

I usually get 32-33 kills if I aggro the whole cave - and there's usually plenty of time for that (you basically have until Magnetic Aura runs out for aggroing).

Edit: Use Major Water Magic rune instead of minor, for longer Mist Form and minimal Intensity downtime, at the expense of a little life.

been doing this on my ele but with wary stance, stoneflesh aura, glyph of renewal
