Hello guys and I have a few questions and need more great advice.

Am a Ele/A and would like to learn to do Pools and Twin Mountains quest.

Why is it I die before I get to twin or chaos entrances? My SF seems to run out and my health drops and they kill me instint?

What I need is a how can I have SF to run continue without bring down my health. I know I have the right builds for both but can someone please tell me the stats what I put in what? Also my armor what insig. do I need to have?

Please your advice is really appreciated and your time as well.

P.S. I seen video in You Tube and read in Wiki but still no help for me. Also I join numerous guilds and no one helps me.

Thx's everyone have a great Labor day Weekend.
AztecHolyKnight.

The Terra relies on 'Con Sets' to maintain SF permanently. I'm sure you would have seen people selling these in ToA. You can also make them yourself.

or maybe its that you dont have your shadow arts at 12. With grail of might from the conset, u get 13 shadow, which is the bare minimum to keep up SF with essence of celerity.

Thx's I finally did it last night I notice I didn't have Shadow Arts at 12 but I got it thx's for the great advice.

Now last night I try a few Pools runs and failed each one? Reason was because I counldn't get into plains of chaos reason it was blocked by Obsidian Behemoth and I was dieing with Charged Blackness behind me. Anyone have any ideas or short cuts to get to Pools recommended? I would prefer a map would be helpful.

But other then that thx's everyone for your help.

Also what build do you guys suggest?

You can avoid the Charged Blackness if you run the right route properly. Check any permasin chaos plain guide for the route with screenies.

I rarely ever get body blocked by behemoths. If you have them in your build, use I am Unstoppable when there are blacknesses around, or if you get hit by a crippling trap. Also use feigned neutrality for regen and extra armor vs blacknesses. I also find that having a birthday cupcake up while clearing the pools makes it easier because of the speed boost. You just have to be carful when taking out charged in the pools not to aggro more than 3, and give yourself time to regen health before you take out the next group of chargeds. I reccomend killing all the charged blacknesses around the reaper's aread first so they wont interfere when you're popping him.

OK great so far am doing better but my next question? In Pools do I fight all the Charged Blacknesses? Or runs pass them to I get to reaper and will they break aggrro? Also what the quickest thing to kill those things? This is what my build look like OgdUkQG5xPT816MOkpZQID5iulA? If I need to change it and do I have to work on my Van Guard title or is that ok? Last questions how do people do it in 15 min? Am using BD CupCakes but still die

Thx's

Ive Done pools in as little as almost 10 min. It take practice, Suggestion is Dont kill anything untill the Shrine (unless you need to). Also when doin quest just kill the queen. Your Vanguard title is fine at rank 1, but the higher the easier. I personaly dont feel like grinding another title out so im keeping mine at like r4.

Ok, here is a quick explanation how to do pools. To make pools more easier, you will need a couple of things:
1. Full Aeromancer armor ( u dont need another set than this 1, on the other area's it dousnt really matter what armor set you use )
2. A shield with +10 armor v.s lightning damage ( Riders on the storm ) and +30 hp
3. Birthday cupcakes

[build=OgdTkY28ZiHRnhmEZwtkHKXsBCA]
This is the build i use on pools, many people use other things, but since i can complete pools in 8, sometimes even 7 min, i think it's fine.

When you get in, you should be at 3/4 mins, make sure you have a birthday cupcake on, that helps aLOT. Put your weapon set with the shield on and run until you get into the chamber with the shrine, using dark escape and IAU as counters to blacknesses.

The very last group of chargeds will follow you in the shrine, this shouldnt be a problem; Agrro every1 terrorweb in that chamber for more sliver fuel. Then wait until 1 of the blacknesses is going to shock you and then push IAU, Sliver, Ward etc. Some people bring feigned too for this kind of moments, but with the armor sets i gave you will only lose 100/150 hp killing this 3 chargeds.

Now the terrors; Try to ball them up so your radiation field will reach them all. Try to spam radiation as much as you can, it makes the killing really fast. Oh, and 1 last thing, make sure you kill the 3 that pop reaper last, otherwise reaper may die.

Once you have the reaper popped, you should be at 7/8 min, take terrorweb queen , run to the queen ( try to avoid chargeds, they will break if you use dark escape ). Kill the queen, and run back to plains.

There is a whooole guide about doing mountains as e/a in the TeamSD Guide in campfire. So i dont think its neccesary to explain you how to do mountains

Pull the terrorwebs just outside the area around the statue and into that little culvert to the right, and you don't have to worry about which ones die first, or anything touching the reaper.

then you gotta kill more = slower, its faster just to keep them a little away, or at least one.
Then you can still have them all in the radiaation, and you know what to kill and whatnot.

For someone who is just starting or pugging in toa, safer=better. For guild/ally runs it might matter, but with a starter or in a pug, the extra minute won't make much difference in 99% of groups, and its completely failproof.

For people trying to set records, i'd agree with your strategy.
