My running build

You're bragging too lol

You won't need Defensive Stance. You shouldn't be getting hit by melee.

For the desert, I use more protection and get my HP up to 1000.

I was wondering what you all use when going from Iron mines to Citadel. My Drok build does not seem to work. There is a lot more hex casting in this area. I use holy veil, but probably have to sub one of my other skills for a hex removal?

I also like to point out that even thou defensive stance is good Disipined Stance is better for running because welll you don't use adroline

looks nice, but maybe swap i will survive for something else

Yea, I've been meaning to find a way to work I Will Survive in there. Haven't completed a solo Drok's run yet.

I prefer Smite Hex to Holy Veil, but both have their merits.

me and a few guildies have made the droks run with

remove hex
healing signet
balanced stance
mend ailment
shields up
sprint
healing breeze
charge

not to sure on the attrib's alls i remember for sure is 10 healing and something like 13 tactics and 10 or so strenght with only minor runes except vigor and absorp this build also works from ascalon to the desert and anywhere through the desert atleast it does for me

I will survive sucks for drok running because you rarely get a condition on you...

If you do, Purge or mend, and use a healing spell to get the healing. Not worth the slot...

I just wanna thank you for posting you builds here... I made this one based off of those and I can finally do Droknars now! $$$

Mine is pretty much similar to most , even though I am intrigued about holy veil(try something new , right?).

Charge
Sprint
Balanced Stance
Purge Conditions
Healing Signet
Smite Hex
Healing Breeze
Endure Pain

Healing: 8-9
Strength: 11-12
Tactics: 10-12

Although alot of discussion about how Endure Pain is borrowed time : well , thats exactly what you need sometimes on this run. Its instantaneous, and there is no condition to prevent you from using it (other than poor energy management). It also can be used in conjunction with stances/shouts for no adverse affect (those in question charge/sprint). I dont have as many attributes allocated s some players to stack , but alot of it is pre-seeing tactics. Knowing where to stop , and which search/patrols/pop-up guys are located and should be heading per your moving. Prime example "Magic Tree". Ill give a couple examples: Most like the meat shields to run ahead at the start , you can go through yourself with Tact - meaning Dont run through were the pinesouls have been (barbed trap) - if the imps hit you to slow you , immediatley cast healing breeze - look at the circumstances , sometimes pausing to prevent and outlast and negate there effects will in the end save you , also , try not to start of with a sprint in this situation , balanced + charge will get you far enough to in the worst case spawn* allow you to move halfway , hit the trap purge conditions/mend ailment , heal breeze for imps - then when charge goes sprint to through or charge however long the combo takes to get through , then make that first move towards the right wall past a bad golem/avicara spawn. Even if you get caught up in avicara you can easily get by them with the next charge/sprint recharge. Main thing dont panic , and dont endure pain over healing breeze unless you cant be knocked down/or prevented from making it to heal within the time limit allowed or its a waste. Healing signet takes too long if you can be interupted by crawl, move to the side they dont come from so you can have a way out , if you sit to long they will knock you down, even so , your pre-planning will allow you to cast twice or have enough time to sprint away to a clear area. In that I mean you have allowed them enough time to commit to one opening you have given (meaning allowing them to somewhat converge) to sprint to a newly open spot. Hrm , I dont mean to ramble on. Oh yeah , in the first section before the uphill run with the Worm , and avicara - biggest failure spot, you should always at least follow the Imp patrol to that spot , if you dont see them halfway to that area , where you can run way up hill right before the worm , wait for them to come to you. Balanced stance until you reach that incline , once you aggro avicara charge .. by the time it expires , you are at least 80% up , meaning past worm , but still may have the aggro of that group and the degens of the guile , not to panic. Make sure you press whatever key you got to view enemies mine is cntrl. If no Pinesouls on the right area up the hill , the loop to the right , hit breeze or sig , whatever you got time for , avicara will come dont panic , cut back across to the left hand side the regen will maybe keep you at 1/3 life bc I dont max out like some do on attributes or good armor. but will allow you to see the crawl over the hill , as long as you cant be stop by them , you can out skill them. Sometime the left area down the hill is open for healing , if it isnt then the spawn put the clear ara in front of you , If you endure pain before you hit the crawl , you may not leave yourself enough time to heal when you hit the clear. Meaning , wait until your first clean" sprint away from that hilltop before you endure. Alot of times you get 1 crawl that matches you step for step , dont panic trying to lose that one ,heal up , worst he can do is probly hit you 5 - 10 dmg depending. After that avoid heretics at all costs , I dont want to explain too much more bc well ; I'd be
out of a job sometimes, :P Any more spots you get stuck at let me know. Like I said trial run , learn where some azures pop up so you won't be stuck without balanced stance/charge ready to use. Cath Bruig! Thanks for your time.

PPS- Pre-Seeing live by it.

Why are u guys using Purge conditions when mend ailment suffices? It's got faster recharge, in case you get hit by another condition...

Quote:

Isn't purge a faster cast too?

Only real advantage that Mend Ailment has is that its got a much faster recharge time, but the disadvantages far outweigh this.

Quote:

Yes, 0.25 vs 0.75sec.

Basically it can be done while you are running, much like balanced stance or Endure Pain.

Holy veil is pretty fast cast and cheap. It can be used by itself or with hex removal for a very effective solution to the imps and ice golems.You only need it in a few areas, so you do not keep it on at all times.

What do you think is the best build for the dorks run?
