Usage Edit

• This team member has the hardest job. As such, there is often a shortage of A/D for VSF so you will have no problem finding a party.
• The first part is simple, run to Slaver's Exile. No KD's its easy.
• When you enter Slaver's Exile run around the left to a bridge where the Necro should cast BiP on you.
• Run through the first group of dwarves to your left and Death's Charge to the furthest away.
• Wait by the wall, trying not to agro any of the Modniir until you can recast SF again.
• Cast Dwarven Stability (very helpful if you are drunk) and Featherfoot Grace and run past the Modniir trying, if possible, to stay away from them.
• Continue running round making sure you have "I am Unstoppable!" on and aren't being shot by any Marksmen with Choking Gas before casting Shadow Form (an effective way to avoid interrupts from arrows is to cast DP then take 2 steps to dodge the arrows before casting Shadow Form).
• The first time you need to recast shadow form you should be able to get around the corner and therefore out of range of the people shooting you with choking gas which can interrupt and kill you instantly.
• After the Re-cast run up to the wall and wait for the enemies to gather around you.
• If you see Thommis run to the wall instead of you, shadow step to him attack him with zealous daggers to prevent him from running away. Body block him into the wall if possible.

• Patient Spirit for an additional healing skill.
• Cure Hex to remove dangerous hexes like Arcane Conundrum.
• Seed of Life for a massive team heal. Cast it on the permasin while he is tanking Justiciar Thommis.

Equipment Edit

• 40/40 set for casting your healing spells. Especially effective if you are hexed with Arcane Conundrum, also helps with interrupts.
• Shield Sets when not casting(+30 hp, +7 armor vs. elemental and +10 armor vs. earth damage mods help to reduce damage).

Usage Edit

• Stand near the wall and use GoLe and Heal Party until the perma comes into range.
• Be sure to move away from the wall out of radar range of the enemy to reduce run times significantly (This will prevent Thommis from running away to a high degree).
• Continue to use Heal Party and GoLe until your team starts nuking.
• As soon as the Mesmers move in for the kill, cast Prot Spirit on the perma and spam heals on him continuously even if he is at 100% health.
• Use Gole to reduce the energy required to cast Prot Spirit and other high energy spells such as Jamei's Gaze and Heal Party.
• Use Resurrection Chant to resurrect the perma. Do NOT use Rebirth or similar skills as this will force the perma to redo the run (but he will most likely ragequit if you do).
• If you do not have a hex removal on you, or yours is in recharge, call for dangerous hexes like Arcane Conundrum to be removed from you.

EquipmentEdit

• All Radiant Insignias, Superior Runes on each armor piece and a Grim Cesta to get 55hp.
• +20 Energy, 20% enchantments.

UsageEdit

• Bringing "Can't Touch This!" is great for the assassin, since Trample is a touch skill used by the Modniirs.
• Upon leaving Umbral Grotto, use "Make Haste!" and Blood is Power on the perma.
• Pick another team member and continuously cast Blood is Power until you die (this is known as saccing).
• Continue to sac until you are left with 1h. (Which should only be once if 55hp - however, continue to sac so that you will not lose too much Death Penalty mid-farm and have more than one health.)
• Once inside Slavers, run to the bridge with the perma. Cast BiP on the perma while they are casting Shadow Form. Once the perma starts to run away, use "Make Haste!".
• Once the perma has pulled around, continually cast BiP on all allies
• Keep all three Ebon Battle Standards up and in range of your allies but try not to get in range of the enemies.
• If an ally dies, use Well of Blood to use up the corpse.
