Build: Shadow Runner
Profession:A/R

Attributes:
Shadow Arts: 16 (Superior + Mask)
Wilderness Survival: 12

Equipment:
Shrouded Armor (Superior Vigor Rune)
Totem Axe
Any offhand of your choice (preferably something with an inherent effect)

Skills:
Dash
Storm Chaser
Dark Escape
Shadow Form
Death's Charge
Heart of Shadow

Troll Ungeunt

Cycle through the running stances for optimal speed. Use Shadow form when approaching large mobs that you cannot go around (ALWAYS find a safe location as quickly as possible after activating Shadow Form). When trapped use Heart of Shadow or Death's Charge. To heal, use Troll Ungeunt and Shadow Refuge.

Personal Comments:
I have not experimented with a A/Mo running build yet, but I see much potential in that as well. This build I've done runs from Elona's Reach to LIon's Arch -> Sanctum Cay with, I've yet to try a Drok's run with it. This build is especially good for high level areas, as you may know most mob spawns will have gaps; Which work as break periods for recharge of Shadow Form. If you play it safe, you virtually can go anywhere with this build.

I ran droks with my sin using a a/w build. I choose my secondary because of the knock downs. Shawdow form is nice to have but its not needed. Charge and Balanced stance is almost essential to running droks. Unless shawdow form will keep you from being knocked down.

Hmm. The descrip says attacks will miss, so the boulders the Frost Giants throw and the Signet of Judgement from the Azure Shadows should miss - but don't the Giants use Giant Stomp? And the Wurms knockdown isn't specifically targeted... I'd think you're going to end up needing Balanced Stance.
