Leadership 9+1+1 or (5+1+1)

Leftover points in spear mastery
Equipment
Spear +30hp
Shield +30hp
NOTE: I am r3 Asura, having +8 en from the title track. If you have lower Asura, I think you will need to have either a +5en spear, or a staff.
I have 600 hp, but I'm sure the run can be done with less
Skills
Go for the Eyes or Dwarven Stability (Use Dwarven Stability before entering the cave then aggro for longer glads duration)
Dodge This
Finish Him
Blazing Finale
Soldiers Defense
Stand Your Ground
Gladiators Defense
Fall Back
Method
Enter Riven Earth, pick up the bounty if you want/need to, then hit fall back and head to the cave (entrance along the right hand side cliff for those who dont know).
At the entrance you will see something like this:
The arrow is the path to take. Essentially, you are aggroing the raptors on the way to the large column in the centre of the cave. You should get the large patrol groups, dont worry if you miss one or two raptors unlinked to mobs. Do not aggro Rekoff Broodmothers group in the bottom right corner of the cave! Her Wild Strike ruins the build! Once you reach the column, keep going along the right hand side of it.
You will then see a large boulder atop a small hill, like this:
Once you reach the boulder, turn right, and as you do so hit Fall Back again (it will have recharged by now) and run straight to the wall. As you reach the wall, hit Blazing finale. The headtart is needed so that they wont do disrupting stab on your Blazing Finale. Then as the raptors come to you, Do Stand Your Ground and Soldiers Defense. Let them all group up on you. This usually occurs as Fall back ends, triggering Blazing Finale. Once they are there, hit Gladiators Defense and start attacking them with your spear.
Hit Dodge This and Go for the Eyes as they charge, which will trigger Blazing Finale, and they should pretty much all be dead by the time Galds ends, a few may survive with extremely low health, but a few spear attacks/another shout to trigger Blazing Finale will kill them. Sometimes, and rather rarely, one may survive with 30% or so health. If this happens, use Finish Him.
Thats the run!
Having just timed the run, from entering Riven earth, to the raptors being killed takes about 1 minute. This doesnt include Loading and Zoning in/out time though.
Keep party items to sell on/use, I believe the Saurian Bones can be traded for party items at Lions Arch
I dont think a Warrior/Paragon can do this, as they cant put points in leadership, so get only 1 second of burning and I dont think that would suffice. With regards to doing this in HM, I think they would run too fast for you to get the headstart to hit Blazing Finale.
Feel free to ask any questions here if you dont understand bits. Thanks for reading
