Perma sf works great, but my sin aint there yet, so i run it with my ele (allmost perma sf). I run it with p/w w/p heroes with [skill]Charge![/skill] [skill]Fall Back[/skill] and [skill]Make Haste[/skill]
Nm/hm your own choice: More chance of golds and elite tomes vs higher retain rate..

I'm a ranger and use a combination of Shadow Form and ranger and sin runs skills. I take 3 warrior hero's with Charge (will look into getting the skill Fall Back) and two monk, 2 random henchies to fill out the party. Than i just run, die, run some more. I get about 1-3 chests per run with a fairly decent gold drop rate.

Anyone have a good Derv chest run build for Hm particularly, I am mainly interested in poisoned outcrops and Raisu palace HM, but I can usually not break aggro or run into other mobs when SF runs out, and if I use vow I just get knocked out due to raw damage

I have r9 delv and r10 all other pve title tracks, just can't find any solid HM builds

7 minutes? I run straight through, don't use any blocking skills unless I need to run THROUGH the dense room with the archers, and generally using the block skill isn't needed even then. If the chest spawns in the fourth room [mentioned above] or earlier [which it does about 14/15] the run is completed in less than a minute, not including loading in and out. When mapping back to Gunnar's, Kilroy is always in radar range.

So, in comparisons to THAT, is anything faster?

I've clicked up 1000 chests since I started recording stats so I thought it would be a good time to share

Methodology
Code:
go to town and load build
walk out the door and back in to set up the /resign spawn (n/a for fronis/temple)
while not not bored
	start the clock
	while bags not full and not bored
		run chests
	end while
	stop the clock
	sell stuff
end while

Build used: N/A
Minutes spent running: 368

Is there any info on the hell's precipice chest farm? Thanks. Also, does the ring of fire mission drop magmas shields and the realm of torment?

A tip for those who haven't already discovered it already is to map 'r' or 'f' to "Targetting: item - nearest". Being able mash this while keeping your fingers on the wasd keys means you can find any chest in radar range without having to look around.

A key is already mapped out for items /chests and such, press : or ; and it will target any switches or objects, items, loot or chests in your location...

For paragons, do Fronis's Lair. 50 CPH is very good, but don't expect to achieve that much in the beginning. As all runs, this one too, takes practice to master. Hint: Use "select nearest item" key to detect the chest early. This is especially useful if the chest spawns in the third room, to the left, next to the wall. If you're just running forward, that spawn is not visible and so easily missed.
