UsageEdit

• Echo-Seed the Bond Parogon while waiting for enemies to settle on the tank at boss groups

Usage Edit

The Shadow Form Assassin should run to Bogroot Growths and runs the entire first level.

1) Once Essence of Celerity is up, the whole team should run together. This is done by making the Paragons chain "Fall Back!" and "Incoming!" (so you always get the healing benefit from both) and "There's Nothing to Fear!" - everyone needs to ensure they stay in Ear Shot range. All members should use "I Am Unstoppable!" when required. If anyone falls behind or takes a lot of damage, party members should use Ebon Escape on this party member to heal them. Assassins and Warriors should lead the team, so they take the most damage
2) You should run past two res shrines, to the boss who has the Boss Key. It is easy to break aggro once you get to this section by running along the left hand wall. One of the permas then balls this group, while the necro casts Edge of Extinction. The perma pings a target in the group, the necro casts Mark of Pain and "By Ural's Hammer!" on this target. Then, all warriors Death's Charge towards the target and attack. Warrior spike! Once dead, the Ritualist (who has precast Explosive Growth) should use "By Ural's Hammer!" and "Aura of the Lich" to spike the bosses.
3) The party then continues running, all the way to the boss where the same ball and spike process is repeated.

Note: If any party members die at any point on the run then try and run to the furthest res shrine without them. Before killing groups it may be nessecary to suicide the team if a vital team member has died.

Collect from chest, wait for timer, get a cup of tea, get quest reward and repeat.
