The Superior Shadow Arts rune HAS NOT been removed from the game.

There are so many Assassins buying them from the Trader that they sold out. Completely. Sometimes one pops up there, but people usually grab it pretty fast.

Best bet is to buy them from players. Worth 15-25k on the market last I checked.

It's worth the investment.

That's what I get for burning my eyes (and brain) out through farming too much.

I'm so glad I bought the rune for another build about five months ago, getting my friends major runes has been irritating.

As Nightow suggests, buy the rune off other players as the result is indeed profitable.

Anyone else constantly rubberbanding? It's pretty amusing standing about five in-game metres away from a mob, casting lava font and watching it take effect away from you. The /stuck command doesn't like working for me, so if anyone else has that problem, make sure you maintain SF even if it appears you're running off, despite enemies fixed in the same position.

Question, Does MOR and lava Font cause scatter When lava font is cast on Recharge? I REALLY hate when riders scatter, So I usually do MOR and Inferno so that they wont scatter.
Luckily for me, I bought my sup shadow arts 2 days into the new update, so it was like 500g for me =p

If you have high health, yes. As stated earlier, allow SF to run out in a safe area causing your health to be well under 100, and maintain that low amount with by switching to a vampiric weapon when regen starts. They'll never scatter and speeds up runs quite a bit.

It's more a percentage than it is a fixed number. Probably 25% of full health. I actually runed down to 85 max health and tried it, and still got scatter. I typically have 371 max health, so if I degen down below 90 (approximately), I'm good to go. I have gotten scatter with somewhere between 90-100 health (out of 371), which lends to my 25% theory.

Yow, what's with the red hue?? I hope your screen doesn't always look like that!

Back on topic, if you go after the necros, you have to make it a point to kill any minions first. If you kill a collector and leave its minions alive, then you will take collateral damage when the other necros attack the masterless minion. Once minions are dead, then kill collectors, then threshers. It's typically not worth the amount of time it takes to clear bone pits though.

For the people with the rune problem, use a major. They aren't at traders either but they are half the price and with a 19-20% enchant mod you will definitely be fine. I also disagree about those terrawebs at the end of the run. If you pull properly, you can get them all at once, and they have a decent droprate for ecto.

Only if you're bad a timing, I'm doing fine with a minor cause i'm too lazy to search for a superior.

Oh no, no, no. You don't not want to take on the dead collectors and threshers at low HP. If one of the collectors summons a minion just before dying, you may end up eating the AoE on Suffering, Feast of Corruption, or Mark of Pain, as the threshers unload on the now-unbound minion. As long as you run away so that you don't take multiple hits, each of those is survivable at high health, but any of them is fatal at low health.

I group all the Terrorwebs easily, just aggro both groups at the door, and walk backwards around the corner, they'll ball on the edge of the door.
