[edit] Equipment

• Staff with +20 energy and 20% enchantment duration.
• Full survivor + vitae is highly recommended because of Twisting Jaws.
• You cannot have more then two vitae runes for attributes listed above
• Staff with +30hp is good with +5 energy, or a staff with +60 health works. Also, either staff must have +20% enchantments. **Can't have a staff with +60hp AND +20% enchantment mod. Fortitude and Enchanting are both suffix modifications.**

[edit] Usage

• Go to the edge of the Raptor Cave (without aggroing) and use Glyph of Elemental Power followed by Armor of Mist.
• Use Armor of Mist and run into the cave and collect the raptors on the left side of the cave.
• Run to the Boss Rekoff and use Mantra of Resolve, Mist Form, Magnetic Aura, Channeling then Sliver Armor and Air of Superiority.
• Keep wanding/staffing her to keep her from running away.
• Rinse and repeat when she dies (your bar recharges)

[edit] Counters

• Having the other groups of Angorodons kill you.
• Sliver Armor not targeting the boss.
• Taking too much damage during the run.
• Mantra of Resolve causing too much energy loss before casting the required spells.

[edit] Variants

• Replace Air of Superiority with Ether Feast if you are having health problems.
• Replace Glyph of Elemental Power with Glyph of Sacrifice if you are taking too much damage before casting Mist Form (Highly Recommended).
• Replace Air of Superiority with Ebon Battle Standard of Honor OR Intensity for more Damage.
• Replace Magnetic Aura with Arcane Echo to make Mist Form sustainable throughout the run... note this requires the use of Air of Superiority for recharge.
• Replace Magnetic Aura with Mental Block to save some energy since it replaces itself whenever you get hit. (which will be a lot)
