Is it possible for other professions to maintain SF with cons?

Is it possible for a different caster profession to maintain SF by using Deadly Paradox, Essence of Celerity and a 20% Enchanting weapon? I doubt it somehow, but thought I'd check...

all can with +1 cons like eggs, lunar fortunes etc.

The above link has images and video of an E/A, but I'm sure it's possible too on an Mes/A.

just to be clear, you need to get your shadow arts to at least 15 for this to work

Seth, 2 summers ago when SF was buffed to the point of being perma-able, UWSC's were done with eles due to a stronger and longer sliver armor. Anet didn't like that just about any primary with assassin secondary could perma SF, so last december they made it impossible to do without a crapload of personal cons.

I didn't watch the video Cuilan posted, but you can perma on an ele using:
Shadow Form (12 Shadow Arts)
Deadly Paradox
Glyph of Swiftness
Weapon of Enchanting
Essence of Celerity
Here's the math:
SF recharge time = 45sec
With Deadly Paradox (33% faster recharge) becomes 30sec
With Deadly Paradox and Glyph of Swiftness (25% recharge) becomes 22.5sec
With Deadly Paradox, Glyph of Swiftness and Essence of Celerity (20% faster recharge) becomes 18sec
At 12 Shadow Arts, SF lasts 18sec
With a weapon of enchanting (20% longer) it lasts 21.6sec
When you through in cast time (1 sec), you're still looking at 19sec vs. ~22sec, which makes it so that an ele can maintain SF (without using too many consumables)

Problem: recharge doesn't stack past 50%. So you need multiple +1 attribute boosts to make SF last longer so you can handle the 50% recharge.

I had no idea, thanks!
