The Shadow Form runner can still work.

I did some calculations and it turns out that deadly paradox(even though its nerfed) can still recharge shadow form quick enough to use it again. That is with Arcane Echo.

Deadly Paradox makes skill recharge 33% quicker. Shadow Form's recharge is 60 seconds. 33% of 60 is 20, so that makes shadow form have a 40 second recharge. With 16 Shadow Arts, Shadow Form lasts 21 seconds. And with Arcane Echo, you can use it again for another 21 seconds, that's a total of 42 seconds in shadow form, which is enough to let the first shadow form recharge.

So yes, it is still possible to do the Shadow Run, or just in general, the invincible assassin.

BTW I don't know if this has been mentioned before, so if it has, oh well

Or just mapping the unechoed copy to button 4 or 5 on your mouse if you have them.

Who me?

yea perma shadow is still attainable with good timing but deadly paradox costs 15 energy now so e-management is a pain... o and fyi VoS is better for forge run... and spamming deadly paradox is too taxing on energy.

It's too much of a faff to maintain shadow form with arcane echo... In the meantime if you wanna have abit of fun having a 25sec shadow form recharge, then stack glyph of swiftness with deadly paradox. You can get 5 seconds off a perma shadow form with more ease... Kinda useless though. But if you can think of some way to use it then go ahead

Meh. Who cares.

Shadow form, arcane echo, dark escape, dash and deaths charge can run to Rata Sum.

The Shadow Form Assasin lives again.

Yeah, let's hope Gaile doesn't get wind of this.
