Template code
This variant does not require the hero. The major downside is that this is a lot harder to use as well as slower, as you are only at +25% IMS for 13 out of 15 seconds.
Use Sprint on recharge.
Recommended to have as much health and armor as possible.
Another variant could be drinking a light alcohol beverage and using Drunken Master instead of Sprint.
Notes
Both the solo and the hero version do not require that you aggro all 33 raptors; 23 or more will kill the boss.
"Stand Your Ground!" on the hero. The free slot can be used to bring:
Endure Pain for additional health.
"I Am Unstoppable!" for additional armor (stacks with "Stand Your Ground!").
