Raptor drop rate nerf

[{Ru}Lord_Slayer]

I did 2 runs today to see if they did indeed nerf the drop rate on the raptos. heres a screenshot of 1 of my runs. The other was very similar. This is consistent to what I was seeing during the saint pattys day weekend for regular drops. Though then ,there were more overall drops due the clovers and ales, But if this is nerfed. Boy I would of been jumping out of my seet before the nerf. I am very satisfied with the current drop rate.

Well, we do know that every person doing the run for the last 6 months have noticed a drop.. they talk about it constantly in Rata Sum. Makes you wonder how it USED to be? Bubba did this run more than a year ago.. so we might get feedback from him. One guy told me that's how he paid for just about everything on his account was with money from the items he got from the run... not that I take that for face value.. I'm satisfied with the drop rate as is.. they definitely lowered the gold drops from the Shing Jea island feather farming runs. I used to get 2-4 low level items but often with perfect mods (like +30 HP sword hits etc) on the island.. but now I'm lucky to get 1 or 2, sometimes none at all. I even wonder if the leechers help out the raptor farming for items. Would you get some leechers Slayer and test that idea if it would increase your drop rate?

been checking the drops myself, and to be honest i havent had a single run anything like what lordy posted, back in the day i used to get about the same as lordy posted, but with more white items, and almost always there was a chest that spawned in the cave, only saw maybe 3 outta 30 runs,i've been using my ele to farm them in hard mode, killing the boss as well, using a cookie cutter build off of the wiki.

What about the leechers.. that's what I'd like to know if it works or not for gold items etc.

Ive noted numerous times that leechers help drops. I dont think you believe me. Ill have to have Glider chiime in. She is queen of taking leechers and she will tell you the drops are better. I will say this. When theres not a event going on the number of golds and srops does seem to be lower. But if theres a event happening. You will get more golds from the raptor farm thern you will know what do do with. Im at level 4 title track now for identifying all the golds from that raptor run. SO if you dont think many golds drop there. I'll show you my title sometime to prove it.

Theres a better build for raptors for the elem then you posted . The other build allows you to kill all 33 of the raptors including boss in about 50-60 seconds from the time you walk out the door. The elem has the fasted farming run title for raptors. No other class can beat it. I do 80 second runs with my Sin.

yes in fact leechers help the drop rate

Can you post a before and after photo? Maybe go once by yourself.. and then with a full party of leechers? It's not that I don't believe it works, but I'm curious what the full impact of this would be.

We wont do it.Weve wasted enough time on this thread. You find your own great farming runs then. We will do the ones that I guess just work for us.

No Slayer.. just you. I only want to see you jump through hoops because I asked you to.

[{Ru}Lord_Slayer]

Now lets see your sense of humor while I jump through hoops for you

[{Ru}EINHANDER]

You know, I took pity on the effectiveness of the last black curse I paid to have put on you... I will now pay for the next higher level from the Wiccan that punished you last time. All joking aside, you laughed it off last time at first but I bet this time you'll consider what this weekend and the following week will bring you.. my good friend.
