Level 2 Use another con and run to the Regent of Flame.
Switch to your zealous daggers, cast GDW on each other, have Support use Barbs and Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support while auto-attacking till Regent is dead. Grab key and run to lock. After the door, there's a wurm that will knock you down. USE IAU!. And maintain Shroud of Distress. Run to level 3.
Level 3 Pull a Becalmed Djinn and have your team kill it.
Have the Tank pull everything to the right side of the room. Stay alive by keeping up. SF - Shroud - Stoneflesh - Shadow Refuge. (Use Scythe to manage energy and fuel Shadow Refuge) Run on the wall of the left side of the room, ping your party to the corner area. Run through the mobs, and spawn the Flame Djinn. Run back to where your team was and have them kill.
Grab the key and head with your party to the next shrine. Everyone should wipe so the party resurrects at the next shrine. Ball up everything in the next room and pull them off to the side. Have the team run towards the Siege Wurms so they can die and shrine jump to the next shrine. In the next room, use the Flame Jets to kill the Burning Spirits. This will burn off DP and clear the path for the rest of your party to shrine jump to the next shrine, wipe and collect money from customers. When rezzed at the 2nd to last shrine, tell party to stay.
Boss Cast GDW on each other, have Support cast Barbs, and spam Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support. Drop Fire Bombs, away from partner.
Auto attack with either Spear or Daggers, preferrably the support with daggers and the tank with spear. (This will keep Ilsundur from blowing both of you up with Fire Bomb if someone messes up.) When dead, wipe and have party get chest.

Level 2 Pop BU and run to the Regent of Flame following left path. Kill it with EVAS, GDW, and normal attacks (Don't forget to get the key) Run to Level 3 or wait for the tank to zone. Right past the gate lock there will be Wurm pop-up that will KD you down for 5 seconds that can become a problem for people new to Spearway. If IAU is recharging, hug the either side and continue running (Once your past the Res shrine then the wurm won't pop up and KD you)
Level 3 Cast Shroud and start casting GDW on everyone. Pop the BU once everyone has loaded. Wait for the Tank to pull the Becalmed Djinn Spike the Djinn as normal just without EVAS due to VoS. This is where GDW shines. Wait for the tank to pull aside the mobs. The Barbs sin should now start pulling the Flame Djinn As soon as the Flame Djinn comes towards the party cast EVAS and GDW on your party. The longer the Flame Djinn is on it's ass the better the chance it won't kill anyone and it running away. Collect the key Run to the final room Before spiking Ilsundur, Lord of Fire start using GDW on the rest of the A/P's (and the A/N, A/Mo, and the tank if you're confident in your energy. As long as they GDW they will do as much damage as the A/P's) Start spaming EVAS and attacking Ilsundur If you get a fire bomb run away from the group and drop it (It doesn't matter if the EVAS die) Continue maintaining GDW on the party If the Barbs Sin starts dying use Ebon Escape (if you brought it) to heal him/her Collect Chest reward

~A/N x1~ OwRjcwf84Q6MHQ0lNQWClBrixkALevel 1 Pop Bu Main Tank grabs a Keg from the powder keg station, team runs to the first destructible door and destroys it using the keg main tank pick up. Once door is broken run through to the next powder keg station and "keg farms" the Shadow Blades(this is recommended to help take aggro off and it actually speed up the run) Main tank puts up Enchants and runs into the Wardens mob, Stay as close to every unit as possible, Cast both wards then Pick a target nearest the center of the group. Once the wardens group is down run through the now open gate to Rragar The main tank will aggro first and pull the shadow blades to the right next to the cliff The rest of the team will then Spike Rragar and retrieve the key Run through the rest of the map to the gate.
Level 2 Pop Essence Run to Rragar, It is recommended that you stop at the bridge just before Rragar and send someone in to pull away the Shadow blades from the path, as they are fast and hard to break aggro. Once past that the tank will again run into Rragars mob and Stand Next to him, Use both Honor and Ward then Spike Rragar with main group. The person who pulled the Shadow blades should be most of the way to the gate so the main team shouldn't have to run all the way their.
Level 3 Follow the Left path the breakable wall, Have your main tank run up and spawn the shadow blades that break down the wall, then pull them over to the keg station and kill them. Main team runs past the reaming enemies into the hall where Fleshreaver is, Have them stand behind a wall so they won't get hit by the powerful paragons, Main tank will run into the chamber and pull the Fleshreaver's mob back towards main team, (You will need to kill the Fleshreaver Hound first, don't let him anywhere near main team, He does massive amounts of holy AoE Damage and when he dies the Fleshreaver will blow him up for 100-300 damage!) Spike using only Chaos storm and E.V.a.S, Make sure you stay away from bodies until the mobs are dead. When dead retrieve the key form the back room where Fleshreaver was and make your way to Rragar. At Rragar Main tank runs in puts down both ward then team spikes Rragar (do not stand close to him as if he gets of an Energy surge it hits for about 200) After hes gone Body Block the Hide Splinter and spike him

A/N spiker x7~ OwRSQ4PTHQ6M4O0l7i3lNQuBA(vid)OozeSC vidOne spiker runs to the switch, rest of the group heads toward Gloop. After the door is open, one spiker will pull Gloop up stairs and party will spike him down with EVAS. (you might want to kill the group by the last res shrine) Wipe at the res shrine near the boss room if any party members died. Go around to last stair case on right and have 1 player pull Prismatic oozes down to base of stairs then ee over and spam Unholy Feast until the Prismatic Oozes die (Do NOT use ebon sin or wand/spear on Prismatics). Once the chest spawns do not rush it, that'll only make it a nightmare for others. Either wipe below stairs or run around the platform. Kill ooze spawns if necessary and collect chest.
5) Darkrime DelvesHavok's Chest a) Sin Solo~ OwVTI4x8Z6ASnJJgmsBiIUDozBA
b) Derv Solo~ Ogej8trGLTHQtX0kEYli1iRQuMALevel 1: Use redrock and off to the races. Run as normal and use kegs to open walls and kill Jotun boss. (Keep conviction up while running) While boss is on you, you can alternate stances. (blind is very useful when u need to recast spells and IAU is not recharged. Continue running to key area, (remember to save IAU for vatteirs) grab key and continue to lvl 2
Level 2:Use redrock and take off running. Run to boss location and aggro boss. (helps to refresh all enchants right b4 aggroing) Once aggroed, run back past the rez shrine. This will lose aggro and boss will now be aggroable (word?) with a long/flat bow. During your time fighting the boss it is important to alternate stances wisely and keep shroud active. Since boss is war VoS up-keep is not needed. (if you want to speed this fight up u can also use a summon stone, I forgot during my timed run) Kill boss by spamming earbite+sig of infection...pick up key and run to lvl 3.
Level 3:I don't think redrock is needed here tbh. Anyhow run to rez shrine outside of boss chamber. After activating it, pull all aggro away from shrine and wipe if needed to lose aggro. Boss chamber: Run in precast and aggro all jotuns in front and to the left of boss w/o aggroing the boss + wipe. Pull them far enough that you'll be able to aggro boss alone with bow once you have rez. Pull boss w/bow and again alternate stances wisely. (the lil trap/hut thing in the front is where I fought boss) Kill boss (again u can use summon to speed this up)and voila...Dervish Darkrime HM solo!
6) Frostmaw's BurrowsChest of Burrows a) Sin Solo~ OwZTkY/8Z6ASnhmsB6rKXkHCBCA (this requires a lot of cons & is not for inexperienced permas)
b) Ranger Solo~ OgcSc5PT6MHQrgsi0kNQ4OCHCheck out this post here by Backwoods!
Level 1 Stay right and run to gate (I cannot recommend tacs here but I think you know what I mean) You can also try to sliver down wurms, but you'll probably want to grab aggro from the drakes.
Level 2 Go left and sliver/whirl wurms (you'll need stone flesh up while slivering) or you can use unmentionable tactics. Stay on left path run to where the path splits. Go to one side and kill wurms and pop bat spawn...then go to other side to avoid bats. Go to the end and sliver wurm. Zone
Level 3 Fun part....Pop all your cons...you'll need them...(Note* you'll need to be wary of QZ) Prepare to pop the Frostmaw Spawn...sliver the djinns then pop the wurm. Sliver wurm and continue or run to first snowball (avoid incubus). Use the snowball to kill the frostmaw spawn by standing next to ball..... Watch out for incubus patrols. (it is suggested that u know them all b4 even attempting this) Using IAU while under QZ makes it basically maitainable. Use cover enchants b4 chance of aggroing bats....for the 2 mass spawns you'll need to be preped b4 charging past them (you basically get 1 chance b4 they are set and rdy). HoS and or cover enchants are your friends! (if you are having problems getting past the mass spawns consider popping a summon to distract them) For the 1st mass spawn...precast and charge towards res shrine. Then sliver wurm or kill frostmaw spawn same way as you killed first frostmaw spawn and continue. B4 the 2nd mass spawn you are able to creep along the left wall and pop the Frostmaw spawn w/o popping the bats. Sliver down spawn...precast and charge past bats towards end of the lvl. Alternatively you may Run, left turn, left turn and run to the corner to lose aggro. Cast SF and all enchs + IAU + Dark escape again and death's charge to icy staglamite, run off to break aggro from incubus and cast all enchs again. Snowball frostmaw spawn after with the ball near icy stalagmites. Watch the patrol of bats and pop spawn...sliver down (might want to sliver djins 1st again) or you may use snowball to kill spawn and zone.
Level 4 Run, run, run to end of lvl. (be mindfull of QZ, wurm pops, and bat patrols) Use same tacs as lvl 1.
Level 5 Avoid snowballs and run to bosses chamber. Kill the 3 litters of wurm. (kill the one by the entrance last) Pull Frostmaw back out the entrance of the chamber to the snowball.

Level 1 Everyone runs to the door and kills Wurm spawn or use un mentionable tactics. Head to the next level.
Level 2 Kill Wurm spawn at left door. Take a right and head through the gate on the right side, the Incubi will have spawned at the other gate. The main tank can pull the Jotun away. Head to the end door and kill the Wurm and Elementals. Head through the door.
LeveL 3 Kill the Wurms that will spawn. Main Tank pulls the Frostmaw Spawn to the group or can snowball them. Run past the Incubi patrol to the next room. The hallway ahead will have a Wurm spawn and a large spawn of Incubi to get past. Kill the foes prior to the hallway unless you are confident your group can make it past the 2 spawn of Incubi. If your group manages to make it past, head down the left where you will meet a Wurm spawn, the main tank can pull this spawn into the snowball as seen in the video. Go through the now open wall and head left. There is an Incubi patrol and Wurm spawn here. The group can run to the far side as a safe spot. The main tank then pulls the Frostmaw spawn to the group or snowballs it. Run to the next area, past another large Incubi spawn. Run to the end, avoid the Incubi patrol, and pull the Frostmaw group into the snowball to open the next area or snowball it. Head to the next level. *note~snowballing wurms...stand facing the snowball till wurms pop to kill~
LeveL 4 Avoid the incubi patrols and head to the end. Kill the Frostmaw Spawn and head through the door or use unmentionable tactics.
LeveL 5 Kill all the of Wurms to spawn Frostmaw the Kinslayer. You can head to the far edge to avoid aggro from the three siege wurms. Have team spam skills until the boss dies An alternate method is to just pull Frostmaw into a snowball. Everyone can now collect the chest.

Run to Raven's Point. (Make sure you get quest in the opening)
Level 1 Collect Essence of Celerity (BU) money, and make your way into the room on the right. (Spike any Incubus's you run into with Barbs + EVAS. Make your way to the first Ancient Vaettir kill it, and light the flames. Run to north to next Ancient Vaettir, kill it and it's surrounding buddies. Light the torches. Run into room, Blow up Reaper of Destruction with Barbs, weaken,EVAS + Naga. Run to next level.
Level 2 Pop BU, Run to Ancient Vatteir and spike, light the torches. A gatesin will remain by gate to zone. Run to Reaper of Destruction. Blow up Reaper of Destruction with Barbs, weaken,EVAS + Naga. (If you kill only the Reaper, pick up the key and run to a safe spot.) Right when boss dies, Support should start running to next floor.
Level 3 Run to Boss. Kill the waves of foes, using the same pattern you used in the other floors. Kill foes till Plague spawns (mesmers 1st) Kill the Plague of Destruction with Barbs, weaken,EVAS + Naga. (It will die shortly.)
9) Vloxen ExcavationsZoldark's Chest a) Sin Solo~ OwRTcY/8Z6ASnpBizLMYPQXkmEA
Build creators Aria Razorblade and Fly is Fake Sin, og thread found here
Level 1 Start from vlox falls. Run to the end, at the warrior boss you need to kill, turn left and hug the wall, break aggro with as many as possible.
sage: kill with SF by using sniper.
ranger: no SF and use sniper + insid.
monk: HeadShot ebon sniper support.
When all are dead aggro the warrior boss, insid him and snipe him till hes dead.( A GREAT HELP is using a merchantile summoning stone, its cheap, it can rupt his heal signet and does a nice amount of dmg)
grab the key and zone.
Level 2 Use your party (or SoS) to clear the first group. Grab the Key, open the door and go. Pass the oozes to the gatekeeper, obstruct them at the wall. Now, behind the door there is a group with ranger,sage and crusher, snipe the sage till he dies. (when there is a monk, just go for the gatekeeper.) When sage dies: necrotic to the other side. (If Gatekeeper won't die, see if there is an ALBINO RAT at the other side of the door, if there is, snipe it and use necrotic on it, it works aswell, thats how we get lvl 2 6 min or less) When gate keeper dies: grab key, open door and go.
Now the best part: At the skelks, turn right and break aggro with em . (you will have to hug a wall). Now, stay there untill you aggro at the other side some ancient cavaliers. Kill them using insid and sniper (insid works as you can shoot through wall). When he's dead, necrotic to the other side, run forward, and BAM there is lvl 3.
Level 3 Let team die as far as possible, run to the paragon boss (watch out, assassins remove SF, shroud !) Kill him with insid. (easy) Grab key and die now .When all good you and your team spawns at the boss room. Use your team to kill the minions of zoldrak (NOT ZOLDRAK HIMSELF) he will die by rezzing them, this should take 5 mins.

Before the A/P calls a target, use Sand Shards (so it will be ready for a recast sooner), and Shroud of Distress. When the A/P calls a target use Shadow Form and "I Am Unstoppable!". Jump to the A/P with Ebon Escape and body block the mob. Wait for the mob to be blocked, and then attack the target with Golden Lotus Strike to remove Sand Shards. Follow up with Snow Storm, Sand Shards, and Golden Lotus Strike. Use Ebon Escape as necessary to heal allies.
Level 1 Upon entering Shards of Orr, run to the Beacon of Droknar and take the blessing. Drop 1500 gold for the consumables (3x Essence of Celerity). Once the Essence has been used cast Shadow Form and follow the A/P, being sure to use "I Am Unstoppable!" whenever "Can't Touch This!" is low or down. Use Ebon Escape to stay close to the A/P and heal teammates. Once you have reached the Cursed Brigand, the A/N will run to the gate. Wait for the A/P to call the Cursed Brigand as a target before jumping in. Once the Brigand has been killed the A/N will zone to Level 2.
Level 2 Take the Blessing from the Beacon while the A/P balls the group on the wall. Jump in and use your chain making sure to finish off any stragglers. Run to the wall and wait for the A/P to approach the hill. Cast Shadow Form and "I am Unstoppable!" as the A/P approaches and jump to them with Ebon Escape. Run to the wall and wait while the A/P balls the foes. Once the A/P has called a target, jump in and use your chain. Follow the A/P through a small group of foes to the next room and wait for them to separate the Brigand. Kill the brigand and wait for the Gatesin to zone.
Level 3 Whereas in the earlier levels it doesn't matter too much if you die, dying here will increase the time to kill Fendi. Stay with the A/P and the rest of the team as you make your way to the Brigand. Keep an eye on everyone's health, especially the A/P. Use Ebon Escape to heal. Once in the Brigands hall run to the far left corner and wait for the A/P to group the Brigand's mob. Jump in with "I Am Unstoppable!" and Ebon Escape and use your chain. Follow the A/P through the door and make your way to Fendi. Beware of traps. Once the A/P has Fendi on a wall and calls the target use Ebon Escape to jump in and use your chain. Maintain energy with your Daggers and Golden Lotus Strike. Make sure you have enough energy to recast Shadow Form. DO NOT DIE NEAR THE GROUP! If for some reason you cannot recast Shadow Form run away from the main group and try to recast it. If you do not have Shadow Form up, the group will die as Fendi will cast Chilblains. Rinse repeat, a good time is 10-15 minutes but with experienced teams it is possible to get under 10 minutes.

Before the A/P calls a target, use Sand Shards (so it will be ready for a recast sooner), and Shroud of Distress. When the A/P calls a target use Shadow Form and "I Am Unstoppable!". Jump to the A/P with Ebon Escape and body block the mob. Wait for the mob to be blocked, and then attack the target with Golden Lotus Strike to remove Sand Shards. Follow up with Snow Storm, Sand Shards, and Golden Lotus Strike. Use Ebon Escape as necessary to heal allies.
Level 1 Upon entering Shards of Orr, run to the Beacon of Droknar and take the blessing. Drop 1500 gold for the consumables (3x Essence of Celerity). Once the Essence has been used cast Shadow Form and follow the A/P, being sure to use "I Am Unstoppable!" whenever "Can't Touch This!" is low or down. Use Ebon Escape to stay close to the A/P and heal teammates. Once you have reached the Cursed Brigand, the A/N will run to the gate. Wait for the A/P to call the Cursed Brigand as a target before jumping in. Once the Brigand has been killed the A/N will zone to Level 2.
Level 2 Take the Blessing from the Beacon while the A/P balls the group on the wall. Jump in and use your chain making sure to finish off any stragglers. Run to the wall and wait for the A/P to approach the hill. Cast Shadow Form and "I am Unstoppable!" as the A/P approaches and jump to them with Ebon Escape. Run to the wall and wait while the A/P balls the foes. Once the A/P has called a target, jump in and use your chain. Follow the A/P through a small group of foes to the next room and wait for them to separate the Brigand. Kill the brigand and wait for the Gatesin to zone.
Level 3 Whereas in the earlier levels it doesn't matter too much if you die, dying here will increase the time to kill Fendi. Stay with the A/P and the rest of the team as you make your way to the Brigand. Keep an eye on everyone's health, especially the A/P. Use Ebon Escape to heal. Once in the Brigands hall run to the far left corner and wait for the A/P to group the Brigand's mob. Jump in with "I Am Unstoppable!" and Ebon Escape and use your chain. Follow the A/P through the door and make your way to Fendi. Beware of traps. Once the A/P has Fendi on a wall and calls the target use Ebon Escape to jump in and use your chain. Maintain energy with your Daggers and Golden Lotus Strike. Make sure you have enough energy to recast Shadow Form. DO NOT DIE NEAR THE GROUP! If for some reason you cannot recast Shadow Form run away from the main group and try to recast it. If you do not have Shadow Form up, the group will die as Fendi will cast Chilblains. Rinse repeat, a good time is 10-15 minutes but with experienced teams it is possible to get under 10 minutes.

Level 1 Use essence+grail+candy corn/golden egg untill experienced enough. After that you can make it with cupcake or red rock candy. Use alcohol when you meet ettins to prevent kd. Burn throught spider webs with asura staff, keep Whirling defense on as much as you can to avoid poison and cripple, use antidote signet if poisoned. Venomweavers, sprouts, poison darts and might get you poisoned as well as fungai spores if they explode. Painweavers use signet of toxic shock which kills you if not fast enough with antidote signet.
Level 2 Get asura staff from left of start and carry it with you untill end. Pop Essence, Grail of might and use golden egg/candy corn to keep SF on. After last shrine kill all venom and bloodweavers you encounter with whirling defense. Use walls as advantage to wait for apply poison to end on venomweavers, they only use it once.Use Dark escape, shadow sanct and feigned when needed (when going below 1/4 health or SF/shroud is rupted)
Bloods use anthem of distruption, if you see or hear it beign used, wait for 5 seconds before casting anything like SF. Anthem affects all spiders and rupts even through walls. Burn eggs with asuran flame staff, last egg of both egg-group spawns a boss and bloods+venoms, kill bloods and venoms first.

16) Fronis Irontoe's Lair
This is an older vid of an Ele 600 in cof....you'd need to replace Aura of Restoration w/ ward of stability....but the pinciple remains the same for the 600 tank. The smiter's tactics have however changed. (remember as a 600 you need to have a low al set 600)

Irontoe's Chest a) Run spamming block...hug right wall to get in boss chamber..kill only Frontis

If anyone has some input/ideas I'd appriciate them. The build worked, but definately could be better
Did another test run...this worked fine...sry bout pic quality I messed it up resizing it. AoS wasn't really needed.
How does the ele for SoO work? I want to try this. But i've never done a SoOSC so i really dont know what to do. Is it just the ele and monk clearing out the entire dungeon? I can't find a video of it
The Ele 600 is not really a SC. It is a 600/smite clear. Since the holy wrath nerf....this has become much more difficult. You will basically need a human smiter or be very proficient at microing a hero. One good thing about SoO is that most of the foes are undead and therefore should die within 1 cast of holy wrath. To ele 600 you'll need to precast ward and obby flesh b4 aggroing....use GoS to maintain obby flesh and simply upkeep 600 chain. Take it slow while learning. I am sorry I do not have a video for it as I do not have vid capture on my comp. I'll try and find some ele 600 vids for you.17) Secret Lair of the Snowmen

Wait for BU to pop. Run the path on the right and bearing left until you reach Budger Blackpowder. Take a Keg from him and blow up the cracked wall near him. Continue running until you reach the end, there will be a closed gate with a group of skelk in front of it. Kill the group and zone to level 2.
Level 2 Wait for BU to pop. Run to the left and blow up the cracked wall using a keg from Budger Blackpowder. Continue running until you reach another closed gate with a group of skelk in front of it. Kill them and zone to Level 3.
Level 3
Pop the BU when everyone is loaded. Run directly to the boss room and blow up the door using a keg from Budger Blackpowder. Kill any aggro that has followed you BEFORE you aggro Magmus. When the aggro is dead aggro Magmus. A few groups of Oozes will spawn, Kill these before killing Magmus or they will multiply making the dungeon difficult to complete. Once the Ooze are dead begin killing Magmus.
At Magmus
Maintain barbs on him, while doing so maintain your health and spear him.
Once he reached 1/4 health he will turn non-hostile and return to the center where he spawned, and burst into 10 magma blisters. Kill these. Collect chest.

I had a quick look at the CoF builds, and noticed the smiter build(OwAS8YITRE1DaR3VkiAA6DAEA) is a generic Mo/Any 600 tank with LoD, it's listed as smite for a couple of other dungeons too, i'm assuming thats a mispaste

All of this is by far more slower or susceptible to fail than before nerf.
And whats the point of posting "guide" for duncan when you have 4 more areas before that.
"Run all the way to end using dash to out run aggro and pop Duncan"
Like it was that simple.

Not necessarily.....the SCs have become much faster for the most part and some of the solos are on par with those prior to the updates.
Quote:I actually don't have vid cap software on my comp...so unless I find one or someone else makes one I unfortunately cannot provide one. I have found that most PUG groups for this will run 7 spikers~Owlk8xjTZam0BkODNZD0O2q4u4cG and 1 caller~OwRjcwf84QHQ6M0l0klBWCfCNQA. I prefer HoS myself but your jump skill is up to you. Main thing about this run is spiking with ebon sin. When the A/N calls barbs immediately cast ebon sin.

I had been thinking about adding the manly variants to the guide....Once I get back I think I might. Thank you for the input!|
And whats the point of posting "guide" for duncan when you have 4 more areas before that. "Run all the way to end using dash to out run aggro and pop Duncan" Like it was that simple. The reason I only have Duncan posted is b/c I don't have builds to run the sub-bosses anymore and they are not needed in HM to do Duncan in HM, so one can h/h them. If you have any input on the sub-bosses, I and many others would thank you. Running Duncan is actually not as hard as one might think. Once the duo reaches the end chamber (via simply using dash to outrun aggro), the summit foes can be avoided. The swap only needs to swap out the spirits of disenchantment then pull aggro and die. The restless (at range) and the other spirits are used to fuel sliver. jeri blade

If going again I would definately take out deadly paradox in-place for using +1 attribute cons+BU for SF duration. Using that same train of thought you can use a ranger for many solo ventures. Oolas, Darkrime, FoW T1+T2, or basically anywhere you would only need Assassin skills, cross profession skills, and/or replace sliver with whirling defense.

im really loving this guide. ty to all those involved in creating it. i just wanted to know if there was some type of map that show the routes. maybe like the routes used for textmods any map would help me from getting all the dungeons confused lol ty guys

Actually it was that simple before and other than using a 2nd person to swap now, it isn't much worse. Pre SF changes (notice I didn't say nerf) we could run Duncan HM in about 3 minutes (call it 10 including the run to Slavers or 20 to make sure the full party got the chest). And people would actually be willing to pay 25k for that run...H/H or team runs with even a few SC's for the 4 sub bosses took maybe an hour. Would like some input for Arachni's. We tried a run and it turned out slower than we hoped due to the ints, hex removal, and heroes. Still possible to run parts of it though. Deatgs Corrupter
yeah this is a farming section so therfore this will be how to farmi.e keep getting chest in the shortest amount of time. if you want to go see how to do dungeons with partys go on wiki plenty of info there

I know its not meta, but Bogroots Manly Spike is still a very good build to use.
I've made a video guide for the tank, since the rest is pretty much the same as any Manly Spike Build you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eIRNNScwk8 fundraiser
