- Sand Shards causes scattering. Sorry, this is a horrible build. - † Lord Xivor † (contribs) 10:34, 21 December 2008 (EST)
- You only hit them once before they die, no scatter possible. watch the video's first before commenting. 86.95.231.197 11:12, 21 December 2008 (EST)
- Yeah watch the video and actually read the description before saying its a horrible build. They die in one hit.--Glory 11:15, 21 December 2008 (EST)

- (EC) I think the idea is that there's what, 30 raptors, all using crit defenses. Veil of Thorns, AoS and Wary Stance all go up at start, so their ints are blocked, and rapidly charging Whirlwind Attack, so that, statistically, it'll only hit 7 or so Raptors. The other 23 all block, and that triggers Sand Shards 23 times instantaneously. I think it's brilliant. -

Congratulations
On making a farming build that works and isn't generic farming crap. +1 --Frosty 16:10, 21 December 2008 (EST) ITS BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Apologies
I was proven wrong on the scattering, and I must say, I am now in awe of this build! - † Lord Xivor † (contribs) 20:52, 21 December 2008 (EST)
By Ural's Hammer
Dude, build looks awesome, but my dervish doesn't have "By Ural's Hammer" and I'm too lazy to finish eotn again. Can you replace it with anything?
Assassin Of Fuz 22:57, 21 December 2008 (EST)
- Sorry, but as far as I know, BUH isnt replacable. It's just about the only skill that boosts damage that isn't interruptable (for derv and war at least). That boosted damage is pretty much what makes this build work.--Glory 16:05, 22 December 2008 (EST)
- Well, guess I have to do eotn again. It'll be worth it in the end though. :)

Alternatives
to AoB, can you get by with using great dwarf armor or i am unstoppable as long as you use stances, or is the 33% ims important?--
ChristmasRelyk 20:02, 22 December 2008 (EST)
- The IMS is important for aggroing, otherwise all the raptors would hit you and not be able to chase you. I haven't tested with anything under +40 armor, but Ill get to it asap.--Glory 13:24, 23 December 2008 (EST)
Other Areas?
Wracking my brain to find other areas this can farm. So far best I found was monks in RA. No seriously any other place worth mentioning? Kyhzna Faikun 15:12, 25 December 2008 (EST)
- As far as I know, its limited to raptors, unless you can find a group of ~25 enemies that all spam blocking stances. I'm pretty sure none exist.--Glory 19:44, 27 December 2008 (EST)
Sorry for not loggin in but anyway we could self blind (sig of midnight) so you dont have to rely on the mob to do it? --68.103.134.125 03:29, 2 January 2009 (EST)
- You need AoB for the IMS and extra armor, and why would you run out to farm random melee mobs with SoM? Raptors have high-quality drops, can be destroyed instantly, are 100% tankable, and are directly outside an outpost. That's why they're so popular. --ShazamTheSnake
hissssssssssss 03:35, 2 January 2009 (EST)
- That signet of midnight idea has been suggested, but you can't use whirlwind attack with that. Therefore it causes scatter and wouldnt kill instantly. If farming small mobs, knock yourself out.--Glory 22:14, 13 January 2009 (EST)
I haven't found any yet, either. The closest I have come is the opening mobs in the Secret Lair of the Snowmen -- one uses a blinding skill. You can get blinded pretty easily in the Tomb of Primeval Kings too, due to the Fingers of Chaos monster skill. The problem in both of these places, and generally, is staying alive long enough to group everything up. Nechtan Thaumaturge 18:38, 16 January 2009 (EST)
