Usage

Atomisk8115 Gw072

A warrior successfully killing the raptors

  • Enter Riven Earth from Rata Sum, and the hero will use "Fall Back!" "Fall Back!".
  • Go grab the bounty (optional), as you are running there get the hero to cast "Enduring Harmony" Enduring Harmony on you. If you choose to ignore the bounty, cast Enduring Harmony as soon as you load.
  • Once you have got the bounty run to the cave, get the hero to use "Incoming!" "Incoming!".
  • As you get near to the cave entrance, make the hero use "Make Haste!" "Make Haste!", and "Can't Touch This!" "Can't Touch This!" on you, then flag him/her back near the res shrine.
  • Aggro the first raptors, if you can aggro just one by themselves, keep running so that you aggro the next couple and the first will stop chasing you for a short time so you can cast Mark of Pain Mark of Pain, if you aggro more than one at once, just cast it before they are close enough to interrupt you.
  • Head to the left and aggro every raptor, make sure you don't miss any, as even with bad spawns it is still possible to aggro them all before mark of pain runs out.
  • If you have two different 33% IMS active at the same time, raptors will break aggro. so either don't use Incoming at all or make sure it ends before aggroing multiple raptors.
  • Go to the other side of the cave aggroing the boss group last.
  • Drag the raptors along a wall for a second so that the raptor with Mark of Pain is adjacent to Rekoff Broodmother.
  • Stop and hit Dolyak Signet Dolyak Signet -> Protector's Defense Protector's Defense -> Hundred Blades Hundred Blades
  • When you judge that the raptors will all be attacking you in the next 2-3 seconds, hit "By Ural's Hammer!" "By Ural's Hammer!" -> Wary Stance Wary Stance.
  • Use Whirlwind Attack when you have enough adrenaline.
  • If the Broodmother didn't die from the MoP bomb (which is rare if you followed the steps properly), use "Finish Him!" "Finish Him!".
  • Pick up your drops.

Counters

  • Mark of Pain running out before you get whirlwind attack off.
  • Failure to get the raptor with mark of pain to be adjacent to the boss.
  • Not aggroing enough raptors
  • rubber banding.

Variants

  • Dolyak Signet can be dropped if you take "Stand Your Ground!" "Stand Your Ground!" on the hero. The freed slot on your bar is up to you to decide on. Some choices are:
    • "To the Limit!" "To the Limit!" can quickly charge Whirlwind Attack and provides more health.
    • Soldier's Defense Soldier's Defense can quickly charge Whirlwind Attack before using Wary Stance, and provides additional blocking while waiting for the raptors to ball.
  • Endure Pain for health if you have having trouble surviving.

No Hero Version

<pvxbig> [build prof=W/N name="Build:W/N Raptor Farmer" curses=12 str=9+3 tac=5 swordsmanship=8+1+1][Mark of Pain][Dolyak Signet][Protector's Defense][Hundred Blades]["By Ural's Hammer!"][Wary Stance][Whirlwind Attack][Sprint][/build] </pvxbig>

  • This variant does not require the hero. The major downside being that this is a lot harder to use due to the lack of "Finish Him!" and "Can't Touch This!", as well as being slower as you are only at 25% speed boost for 13 out of 15 seconds.
  • Use sprint on recharge.
  • Recommended to have as high hp and armor as possible.
  • Another variant could be drinking a light alcohol beverage and using drunken master instead of sprint.

Notes

  • Tip- After entering Riven Earth for the first time, return to Rata Sum before leaving again. This way, when you complete each run, you can simply resign to be returned to the outpost right by the entrance to the next run.
