I've seen runners use gladiator's, platemail, knight's, ascalon.
And they all made it to Droks.
So I guess its more of skillset and knowing the path rather than the armour.

Some of the essential ones are probably sprint, charge, holy veil, mending, balanced stance.
I don't know about the rest...I'm not a runner and if I do run someone, its cos I'm running a guildie and some people tag alone and its free so there's no complaints if I die.

This post sounds like it's better suited in the Campfire/build forums...

You could search and get lots of info, but since I'm as lazy as you, here's a quick overview:

Platemail armor from Droks with knights boots, +HP Weapon, +45/-2 Shield while in stance
Best Vigor Rune you can get, best Absorption Rune you can get
Minor Tactics, Minor Strength

Wa/Mo with
Sprint
Charge
Balanced Stance
Warriors Endurance
Healing Sig
Heal Area
Smite Hex/Holy Veil/Purge Conditions/Contemplation of Purity (pick 2)

I forget exactly what attributes levels you want but enough Tactics to get a decent length on Charge and Balanced (I think I have 11+1 in Tactics)
Strength about 9
Healing Prayers about 9 or 10

I like Smite Hex and Contemplation of Purity for the droks run. I don't like Holy Veil in that you lose one energy regen and will be using all your energy for sprint/charge/balanced.

Actually Holy Veil is better because it has a better casting time.
You can always remove it when u are slowed down by the imps or ice golems.
The energy degen is a moot point if u know how to use it.
It's in my build and I have ran to droks 173 times now.

He's right, here's another thing to think about: Contemplation won't do anything unless you're already enchanted. Silly.

Thanks for the catch, Jesh. Going from memory and was a bit rusty since I've been using my W/Me for running lately.

And Gladiator's armor is better than Plate.

Extra energy AND better physical resistance.

Plate just looks better.
