Managing scatter in raptor cave

Hey, I finally managed to come up with a build for my derv that can kill the raptors in the cave outside of rata sum in hard mode, the only problem is the scatter caused by aoe damage. I've never really done much aoe before, so I don't really understand how to use walls to control the scatter, and though I sort of tried what I read here, it was kind of vague and it failed. If anyone could post a link to a relatively good quality video (not one of those ones where you can't even make out more than a blur for the name of the explorable area lol) or how to use the walls in the raptor cave, or could provide a very descriptive set of instructions, I would appreciate it (Please, no "use teh wallz, nub", I have no experience using walls, so while it may be second nature to you, I have no idea how to do it).

There is giant bone. Lure them thereee

Just make sure the Raptors have a wall on THEIR left side and you're good to go

technically raptors should be facing east and ur facing west while on the walls

Rather than start another thread like this, thought id bring it back from the dead

As you can see ive lured them so that theres a wall on THIER left side, yet they still scattered causing my run to take an awful 2 mins.

You should be facing the opposite way in the pic, with the raptors infront of you.

Easiest method is to walk backwards when luring them against a wall and have the wall to your right. Make sure that you also strafe against the wall and stack them so that their named align practically completely vertical. So they all get stuck together.

When you get into the cave close to where the brood mother is there is a rock that has a L shape cut out of it. Round em all up and pull into the L. You will be standing in the junction of the L facing out. One of the walls should be on your right side. The other wall should be behind you. Now this applies to everywhere you farm melee attackers. If you can find a spot where a wall will be on your right pull them to that wall.
Hope this helps.
First screens shot is a reference to what rock I'm talking about. Notice the jar of invigoration

Second screen shows how I am standing and how the foes are positioned.
Notice the backwards L I have drawn.

Thank you for the screens empty, but theres just one problem, my build is made for nestlings only, i cannot kill the boss so i dont think id be able to use that spot without luring her =S ill give it a try though.

If you agro one of the nestlings around her, she a coming to Killz you. Just use a wall on your right and you should be ok.

In case you're wondering, there is a very fast Dervish 'HM Raptor Nestling' farming build in the farming subsection.

I find this build to be quicker than the W/D tbh, but the issue isnt a faster build its the scatter.
