Notes For the Whole Team

• Keep up with the rest of team in 1 aggro bubble at the tail of the A/P tank, but do not run in front the tank, or you will aggro/pop wolves too quick and cause body block for the rest of the team.
• A Birthday Cupcake is an obligation. When it happens that 1 of the gates close in front of you, while wolves just pop up. You need the extra movement speed so the wolves almost instantly stop follow you and turn back to their spawn-point. Just keep moving away from them until the gate open again, and proceed with the run.
• Use "I Am Unstoppable!" VS Knocked-Down and the Crippling effect. Use it on recharge, specially at the start of the run.
• Use Ebon Escape and Return to the A/P Tank as much as possible to keep up. But you have to be smart about it, so both skills are not on recharge at moments you really need it. Some parts you must use it, to jump pass a group Hopping Vampire or wolves that pop up. or make it in time, pass a gate that is about to close.
• Use Echo or Arcane Echo to copie your Ebon Escape specially at the fire dart bridge. Everyone must use Ebon Escape or the combo with Return, so your not get stuck at that part. You won't see that you are stuck and will be too late to notice. So use your step skills no matter what (total 4x at the bridge)
• Keep in mind that Ebon Escape heals other people.
• By the wardens room 8, the tank will ball up the Burning Brush and Brooding Thorns at the Guardian Serpent. When they are balled up the warriors kill them.
• After the Guardian Serpent is killed, the door will open to room 9. The tank will go SOLO in to that room, to pull the wardens away. That way the team can get a safe passage. The rest of the team has to pay attention to not steal aggro from the tank. If you do so, it is most likely the end of the run.
• In the meanwhile the tank is pulling the Wardens away, the team stay up that stair and enjoy the seed healing, which keeps the team alive very easy. If the team gets attacked by another group of the Burning Brush, Brooding Thorns, just kill them. Don't be an idiot and run in some sort rush/panic mode in to Wardens room 9, and steal aggro from the tank. Pay attention to your compass and don't steal aggro from the tank here!!

Usage

• Don't run with a staff, but use your shield melee weapon set. If you run with a Staff the Wolves will hex you with Shroud of Silence and you won't be able to keep up with Ebon Escape.
• Use Barbs And Dark Fury on the Guardian Serpents.
• In room 10 (the Greater Blood Drinker/trapped room) use Ebon Battle Standard of Honor on the next pop-up Greater Blood Drinkers as soon the first group is killed. Try to line this up with the A/Mo bonder so there is always a Ebon Battle Standard of Honor ward for the warriors to spike in.
• Use Mark of Pain on groups and Barbs on the "off damage" single targets. Use Dark Fury and Order of Pain whenever you can. However, be aware that This enchants can trick Strip Enchantment from the Greater Blood Drinker and hurt your team members.
• Copie your Mark of Pain to kill the last guardian Serpent at the entrance to Urgoz. This way you help with killing the Burning Brush, Brooding Thorns and Uprooted Malice. This is needed so the warriors not get killed at Urgoz.
• On Urgoz the most important skill you use is Mark of Pain. If you don't use it, the Warriors will die because of the Explosive Growth. Which will explode in <6 seconds after they spawned. So the combo 100B Mark of Pain and Splinter Weapon must have killed them, before they explode. This way the Warriors survive.
• After Mark of Pain use Barbs, Dark Fury and Order of Pain. Urgoz should die in <10 seconds.
