In HM chests can drop Elite Tomes.

And for everyone asking for builds:

[skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Death's Charge[/skill][skill]Dark Escape[/skill][skill]Dash[/skill]

Any profession can run with these skills.

Any suggestion for the 4 optional skills for a monk? I've been struggling to get a working running build for a monk. :F

I just started chest running in snowmen's lair yesterday. I think it's a good place to chest run because there are lots of differents skins, upgrades, ... and at least 4 chests to open. A run take about 4 min, including killing the foe holding the boss key (1-2 more chest).

Wilderness Survival : 12+1+3
Protection : 12
Expertise : 3+3

[skill]Storm chaser[/skill][skill]Shield of regeneration[/skill][skill]"I am unstoppable!"[/skill][skill]Feel no pain[/skill][skill]Balthazar's spirit[/skill][skill]Protective bond[/skill]

Use a bow and superior runes on all pieces of armor. One piece must have a +5 life insigna (not mandatory), you must have 110 or 105 hp. Start the run by dying, you should have 33 or 38 hp. Cast boths enchants and maintains storm chaser at all cost.

You can get the boss key faster using the ebon assassin skill. You can get some additional drop luring mobs in ice traps.

Happy chest running

I would just add [skill]Shadow of Haste[/skill] to the four above. Then you can usually survive most runs no problem because you can warp back and de-aggro easily to a safe spot. Throw in a regen skill (I prefer Shadow Refuge to FN for the lower recharge, and you won't need the armor when healing out of aggro) and you're golden.

And as to the question of HM aggro, if it wasn't answered earlier, you need a running boost of >33% to break the aggro of many monsters I believe, so the best thing to do is run as far as you can under a 25% or 33% speed boost, then use Dash to break aggro. Works for me every time, almost lol.

Thanks

Hexer's Vigor is a super Shadow Refuge. N/A with Shadow Form is simply the easiest way to do it.
