Can Perma SF's still "run Droks"?

'Sup.
I had the unfortunate task of rewriting a newbies guide to all the mobs & threats on this run.
And while the guide didn't focus on Builds, there were some used as examples... and both of them for Assn looked like they relied on SF for more than just spell immunity. I wouldn't know though since I've never touched SF, so I need confirmation plz on whether they'd still work or if there's 2 better ones people are working on. *(just edit it directly, or post on the talk page / PM me if you don't know how to parse Table Code)* Thanks!

**Obvious note that should be obvious: Criticisms on the builds don't go to me, I didn't make them.
I'm just an archivist who occasionally uses photosh00p.

with the current SF, IMO droks is alot easier to run on ANY profession, i have not tested any builds for the warrior but this is a universsal build that should work on any chracter.

Deadly paradox
SF
Deaths Charge
Shadow Sanctuary
I am unstoppable
dwarven stability
dark escape
optional

A/D or D/A - take Fleeting
Other caster profession take dash
rangers can take another run skill

it can be done with any profession carefully

It can easily be done with that build. I ran droks in 17 minutes with that build. It is probably the best running build at the moment.

30% constant unstrippable IMS
No KD
Spell Protection
No Cripple
3 Healing Skills
Extra HP from TTL

Yep just gave Braxton's build a go, didn't even use runes to lengthen SF. 20 minutes, not bad at all.

wanted to stop by and say who ever wrote the beginning paragraph for that wiki entry it's EPIC! Gave me the warm feeling and reminds me of the day when i was new to GW and didn't worry about all the stuff going on now. Now all memories of a Great Time in the game!

here it is just in case.

...There are no pictures that accurately capture the epic nature of the "Drok's Run". And even the enlarged maps below fail to portray its sheer monumental scope. Likewise, its full completion is not simply a matter of "cut & pasting" a random running build from some website... The run itself can be just as much "Mental" as it is physical. ...Button mashing and poor timing are often the worst enemies encountered throughout this run for any over-eager novice hoping to divulge an easy method to the finish line. The only guaranteed path is that of discipline, preparedness, and practice.
Ya thanks Braxton619. Awesome build!

Yes, it's actually easier now on pretty much any profession.

For example, http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:Any/...r_Forge_Runner

Or you can just use Shadow Form with one of these builds - http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:W/any_Generic_Runner

Ya thanks Braxton619. Awesome build! Well thank you very much for the Feedback. I can't wait till we get more details on GW2 to find out if we'll get to experience those "Early Days" again... I still put on my favorite "running" Song & solo run it all alone sometimes just for the feeling, the scenery, and the complete solitude.

on the day of the update to SF i made it to droks 1st try (with my monk)with a build that took 1 min max to set up all u need is DP+SF and a anti KD,heal.
So with a perma it should be easy,running through ice dome on the way to grotto is a diffrent matter though
