I've ran it..and ran it.. and ran it.... and I can only make it if I have the spawn where the pinesouls and Siege Ice Golems aren't right in the path after the first wurm cave.

Are there any R/W that have been ahving the same problem or am I just lame?

P.S. I use the Bold Forge Running build located on guildwiki.org

I tried around 8 times yesterday with my r/w, and once I got to the very last spawn in Lornar's, but went to far to the right there (I swear the lag did it), and the siege golem got me with deep freeze with about 10 grawls around me, whirling reloading. IMO, r/w can only make it now with lucky spawns, or extreme skill. Btw, is it just me or do pinesouls use muddy terain a lot more now?

Yeah i thought so too. Normally in the beginning with the ice imp pinesoul spawn I'm long gone before one of them casts Muddy Terrain.

I got it free, a trial run.. He was pro though, I suspect he'll be making quite a bit of money by now..

I can still run it just fine with my dorky build.

Dodge
Zojun's Haste
Charge [E]
Balanced Stance
Shields Up
Healing Sig
Fertile Season
Nature's Renewal

NR can be switched out for troll unguent if you want. I forget the attribute distribution, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. The trick is throwing down a spirit just outside of aggro range, letting the monsters start to attack it, then running through in the 2-3 second window where they're distracted.

its still rather easy. Only problem is the golems at the end of lonars, which is still very possible if there arn't grawl around.

Just wondering. Why would you want to run to droks still? Ever since Factions came out, and now Nightfall, isn't it pointless to run to droks since you can get max armor earlier, easier, and cheaper(because you no longer have to pay for a run)?

also in my honist opinion forge armor is better that both factiosn and nightfall ( apprt form end misson factions, and nightfall aciant ( monk only there)
