Equipment[ | ]
Armor[ | ]
- Full Sentry's Insignia (+10 armor while in stance)
Runes[ | ]
- Rune of Vigor
- 2 Attunement runes (+2 Energy x 2 = +4 Energy)
- Rune of Restoration
Note: Against getting Crippled a Rune of Restoration is highly recommended for surviving traps. It shortens Crippled and Bleeding by 20% which is considerable.
Weapons[ | ]
- Crafted or collector's staff (20% chance of half spell recharge) with +5 energy staff head and any enchantment lengthening mod
Usage[ | ]
General[ | ]
- Use Dodge, Zojun's Haste, and Storm Chaser for running
- Use Fleeting Stability to run past enemies with knockdown (e.g. Frost Wurm, Siege Ice Golem, Tundra Giant, Azure Shadow)
- Use Vow of Silence (6 seconds with any enchantment lengthening mod) to pass through monsters with snares (Ice Imp, Siege Ice Golem, Stone Summit Heretic)
Very important: Timing is very important here. Make sure Vow of Silence lands before the snare hexes do! If you don't, Vow of Silence will prevent you from removing the hexes because you can't cast spells!
Lornar's Pass[ | ]
Wurm Tunnel[ | ]
- Cast Fleeting Stability before entering the Wurm spawning zones. Avoid getting knocked down while you cast it.
- Recast Fleeting Stability shortly before entering the tunnel and cover it with two other enchantments. Alternatively, you can cast Vow of Silence and Mystic Regeneration as non-strippable cover spell here.
Siege Ice Golem Spots[ | ]
- Recast Fleeting Stability if time permits.
- Just after entering the casting range of the Ice Golems, cast Vow of Silence to give you 6 seconds of snare-hex-free running.
- Stay away from Pinesouls at all costs. One Barbed Trap will be fatal to you.
Note: In case of getting crippled, try to uphold Fleeting Stability, Mystic Regeneration, and Vow of Silence. Do not aggro any further group, and tank out the damage. Do not forget to uphold your stances as well, as they add extra protection, and a good chance of avoiding attacks.
After the Troll tunnel[ | ]
- Cast Fleeting Stability at the curve after the bridge. Keep away from Grawl Crones as much as possible to avoid them stripping your Fleeting Stability with Chilblains.
Counters[ | ]
- Lack of condition removal.
- With a Rune of Restoration Crippled and Bleeding can be reduced to tankable status, though.
