raptor derv solo

im not too good at dervishes. but i think instead of faithful intervention you might want to add a pve skill such as... "great dwarf armor"(more armor), "Tryptophan Signet"(less damage taken), mental block(unlimited blocks?), "You are all weaklings"(less damage taken), "feel no pain"....

*im not convinced a IMS skill is necissary. ims is needed since theyll just interrupt you the whole time and interrupt vos i havent thought of using dwarf armor though, as for mental block 50% doesnt seem to be enough

well. i looked around for skills with damage reduction and the only (in my opinion) logical option would be "Armor of Sanctity", which weakens the foes and gives damage reduction. it costs little energy and has 1/4sec cast so..... i tried armor of sanctity it gets interrupted a lot

I think the extra hero is a solution, you could just as well put in a bonder or so..
in my opinion, the whole idea of this thread was to solo farm raptors outside rata sum, (sorry if that sounds rude..) A bonder will steal drops (2-player party) - the paragon runner will not, as he will be out of range/dead (effectively 1-player party, e.g. solo).

this works about 80% of the time for me the other 20% of the time is usually waiting due to errors does it fail because of spawn locations or do you just mess up? i mean, is it still hard to run?

ps. could you video this?, would like to see it in action...

does it fail because of spawn locations or do you just mess up? i mean, is it still hard to run?

ps. could you video this?, would like to see it in action... when i go after mother theres no room for error so its pretty hard-impossible, when you go after the 2 groups + all the stragglers not next to mother (about 19-24 mobs) it gets really easy

angorodon spawns can sometimes mess it up

and cant record it dont have frap or any of those heres a photo though



actually nvm im a noob and just found out why mother is hard xD when you use grenths aura she uses a unblockable attack that requires you to be above 90% that does even more then twisting jaws.

so for mother (if you want 5-10 extra kills and dont mind running back) do the same as you would for a no mother run but dont use grenths aura you also have to be quicker

Build: OgSlcopiKtusJhJyd9tteldJGaJ0cB I must ask - why bother putting any points in mysticism? Not enough energy? You should have 40 energy with the asura title (or run radiants/attunement/+5E weapon)... You should really go 12 curses, 12+2(4) earth, 3+1 wind. Then, you wouldn't need the second (first?) MoP...

EDIT: Mysticism points maybe moot, since without EBSoH, you may still need 2 MoP's...

EDIT: Mysticism points maybe moot, since without EBSoH, you may still need 2 MoP's... Well mysticism helps with energy, gives you some extra armor, and the other points aren't really needed in the other attributes anyway. Curses at 10 could even be lowered a bit to like 8, since even at 12 curses you still need 2 mops ever since the buh nerf.
Also Pious fury needs the mysticism also to keep it up for longer than 2 seconds, although that may be all that is needed.

Also, what's the difference if you're gonna cast ebsoh or a 2nd mop? Either way you're gonna be casting for 1 second, might as well just save an extra skill slot and not bring ebsoh.

Either way you're gonna be casting for 1 second, might as well just save an extra skill slot and not bring ebsoh. I meant to say, nice build! I figured MoP could work somehow. I'm trying to figure out why your build might fail every once in a while. Is it because the second MoP gets interrupted? Or is it because Ermite's gets interrupted? (Or do they just beat you down to death before you get them all balled? - seems doubtful)

The way I understand your build, you run to cave, paragon buff then flag to death, cast 1, then 7 on closest raptor, then aggro them all to boss, then stop,2,3, wait for them all to ball, then rapidly 4,5,6,7 (on different raptor),8.

It appears that the combined dust cloak blindness (90% blocking) and the 7x/8x% blocking are what allow you to cast the 2nd MoP, and Ermites. It seems that the Pious effect is negligible, as you're talking a 1.5s Ermites, versus a 1.125s attack speed. Besides, with Myst 1+1, you will get 4 seconds of Pious IAS (6s with Myst 3+1). Those raptors *WILL* interrupt a 0.25s skill, if they get through blind/blocking. So, I'm thinking your failrate will be way lower if you max Earth to 14/16 - Not only will the blocking be increased to 77/83% for 8 seconds (20% ench), but the blindness increases to 4s (maybe you were already running 11+1+1 Earth)...

I like the signet better than the extend enchants - since you have two enchants that are 0.25 seconds, that you will have to cast just as raptors engage you (so possibility of interrupts). 8 seconds of mirage cloak should be long enough to cover the stop/balling period...

Thanks! Well it's possible that eremite's or mop does get interrupted, but very unlikely.
One thing I would tell you to do, don't wait until they are all balled to use Armor of Sanctity. You may be failing because you are taking too much damage. I usually wait until the boss is next to me before using it (since if he gets 1 attack through then he will do atleast 100 damage to me) and then just use it, even if there aren't many other raptors being affected by it. If the boss is taking a while to come then just use it, but otherwise just wait for the boss.

And sorry, forgot to say what runes I'm using in that post. I use superior earth prayers and a headpiece to bring earth prayers up to 15. I also use a minor mysticism (but that's not needed, I just always use one on my armor). I also have windwalker insignias on all of my armor. The 15 in earth prayers gives me 80% block chance, and a 4 second blind on all of the raptors, making it much less likely to be interrupted.

If you're using signet you have to be careful, if you use eremite's when mirage cloak goes down you might be interrupted.
Extend Enchantments actually makes it a lot easier to do everything imo. You use extend + vos before you mark the first raptor, and then extend + mirage cloak when you aggro the boss group. If armor of sanctity gets interrupted I just use dust cloak + pious fury right away, giving me the 90% blind anyway, and because mirage cloak is now a 15(?) second long enchantment, you don't have to worry about it going down before you use the attack.

Got some builds that can kill all + boss.

1:
OgSkcgq1KzmD39bndNwr3uvlo5C

2:
OgSkcgq1KzmEm43G316lBW2llQzF

3:
OgSkckqzKzmz32ATe5uZ31rlo5C

Nr 3 is a bit harder to use but the savest.

All 3 require a P/Rt runner hero.

They all use Pious Concentration so theres no chanche you fail due to interrupts.

BTW: Windwalker Insignias on all parts and sup erth rune gave up doing raptor farms but with a para hero id say flames build is very awesome i can do it with a 100% success rate with his
