Looks like [Viper's Defense] to me.

Your run will be faster when you block the mobs with their left side against a wall, so they don't scatter all the time.

Looks quite good there.

[build name=A-E UW farming NM prof=A/E fire=12 shadow=12+3+1 air=][Glyph of Swiftness][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form][viper's defense][lava font][mark of rodgort][Glyph of Lesser Energy][fire attunement][/build]

I think this is it. Did you use any major/superiour runes? I take it superiour shadow arts on the headpiece?
The Glyph of Swiftness needs enough attribute points to give the 2nd and 3rd skill the bonus. That way Shadow Form benefits a speed recharge bonus from both number 1 and 2 skills. Shadow form has "For 5...25...30 seconds" so 30 seconds on 16 shadow arts. 60 seconds minus 33% minus 25% = 30 seconds... You can JUST make it. Although in the movie it looks like you can do it easily as long as you stay alert.

When anough mobs are aggro'd, you just hit 8, 7, 6, 5, and keep spamming every skill when it's recharged. Just remember to do 1-2-3 in that order only.

I'll give this a try ^^

Although in the movie it looks like you can do it easily as long as you stay alert. Not to be difficult, but at 16 Shadow, SF lasts 32 seconds, with a 20% enchant on a weapon or staff, it lasts 38 seconds, and you need no points in Air Magic, because GoS only affects spells, not stances.

So you cast GoS, then hit DP, then SF, and you'll get the 50% recharge from both.

If you don't use GoS, you will have a 38 second duration and a 40 second recharge. Both are necessary.

I realize it has to be moved, but i'm wondering.. The video was in NM, so this works for NM? Oh, and Arching Healer, did you use this build? I'm rather new to soloing UW.. How do you kill the smite crawlers? Do you just run around when zealots fire hits you?

It works great btw. too bad my lagspikes keep hitting me just when I need to recast 1-2-3...

There must be a great way to use this 1-2-3 combo with a running skillset for rnning Droknar...

There is no anti-KD unless you run PvE skills, which means you'd need to be drunk for an entire zone of the run. You might say "Well I'll do A/W then!" but then you have downtime without GoS, and thus Dervish' can run it faster once again. Or you'd have 10 seconds of downtime between "I Am Unstoppable!" shouts, and that's with a high norn rank.

How do you run past the behemots, in your movie, it is easy, but sometimes I can't trigger all the traps without a speed boost. Guess you always gotta take some cupcakes with you?

Take dash and dark escape and it's gravy. I got knocked down now and then, but as long as you know it's coming they won't interrupt your spell casting We went on to run the whole Shiverpeak area afterwards

To OP, cool build, though I prefer taking a run skill to rush over the traps myself

Can Flame Djinn's Haste replace viper's defense?

or is it more efficient to use cupcakes + viper's defense.

If you want kill aaxtes, viper's defense is better but if you want run to the plain without kill aaxtes, u can take djinn's haste

So it's difficult to kill aataxes without vipers defense? I use flame djinns haste instead of vipers defense.

Also the weapon set should be any staff with 20% enchant and +15 energy right?

Just trying this build out for the first time today :P

I'll try out this build though, since the dagger one I was using could only clear in more or less an hour..

I play on normal mode - aggro the whole chamber, kill everything (aatxes optional), run to the plains and kill stuff. As it's NM you don't even need a running stance so you can take phoenix or inferno. Really sturdy build and very very fast, absolutely recommended.

Been gettin quite used to a build similar to the one given. A Chaos Planes run now takes me about 27 minutes to complete.
Last run I got 10 ectos

Where in the world were the charged blacknessess in the second video? I always seem to get stuck with them camped when I try to run to the Chaos plains. Must have wasted close to 30k by now.

To the OP: Build works amazingly. Replaced Vipers with Flame Djinn's Haste and now look:

I pull this much, usually just get one drop from the whole group. Usually cash or the collectable drops you get from them..i forget the name atm.

Hey,great guide and videos,great indeed.
Few questions about aggroing and stuff ;
If I aggro chamber and go in corner below the stars(like you did in 2nd video) will I get teleported to other location if I use Viper's Defense?
Am I suposed to have about 45 energy or more? (still haven't tried the build,I'm about to today )

Last question,please tell me what music is in both videos,cos it's pure awsomness
Again,great guide!

I run Mark of Rodgort -> Lava Font with dash instead of vipers I can kill Aatxe even without Vipers Defence. I don't think I take as much as 52 mins but I have not done many runs. Very good farm.

I only took 52 minutes because I was trying to go slowly since it was my first run with that new build...

Usually I get 30 mins~ now
