This build is used in secret lair of the snowmen to farm fast deldrimor rep. Any build will work, as the dungeon is easy, speed is the key to fast farming though. This build will do the run in HM in 11 minutes more or less.

The heroes:

N/E x 3

[Searing Flames] [Glyph of lesser energy] [Fire attunement] [signet of lost souls] [putrid explosion] [fire storm] [blood ritual] [resurrection signet]

Human can be anything R/ or /R will use my rit as an example. Edge of extinction is not absolutely necessary, but speeds the run significantly.

[Weapon of Remedy] [Rejuvenation] [Recuperation] [Protective was Kaolai] [Spirit Light] [Edge of Extinction] [Spirit Rift] [Death Pact Signet]

As there are many deaths, hero SR doesn't need to be very high 8ish. Blood should be at eight, rest into death. Fire at 12 of course.

You can of course use ele heroes, and the dmg will be higher. Energy will be an issue in some areas where you have to move more slowly though. Necros can chain cast SF almost permanently and putrid explosion is good in this dungeon, as snowmen are fleshy.

Use two healer henches, cynn and herta.

Lay down edge of extinction before the big groups and any other spirits.

I was able to farm from rank4 deldrimor to rank10 in 8 hours using this build during the last double rep weekend. Any comments appreciated. Enjoy.

11 minutes,,, that's pretty good.
I'll give it a try.

Will say that's 11 minutes with a human rit healer. Results may vary with non-healing primaries as spike deaths will slow the run some. First few runs took 15-20 min til i got the hang of it.

hmm, not sure about how this would work and in what way is it better then other teams. when I was farming the place I rememmber taking IV+Putrid+Rising Biles on Necros, alongside minion wall and an SH nuker, I myself was a barrager and it worked better.

how do you know it worked better if you didn't try his build?

I used SF necros as well doing this in NM the first time, and it worked extremely well. Didn't think of EoE though, that would do nicely. Will have to try it in HM...

Nice time draugr. I tried the run and the builds work as promised. I'd take a different Rit bar but whatever.

I've been using SF N/E's myself with a [[defiant was xinrae] W/Rt for some tank'n'spank and can clear the dungeon in HM consistently at 14 mins. Edge of Extinction will definitely speed up the run, Rt/R is a good choice as both EoE and DwX can slot on the bar.

I hadn't considered [[putrid explosion], it works well in conjunction with Searing Flames. I'm not seeing the value of 3 x [[blood ritual] - it's not needed and the life sac is pretty heavy. I've been running [[soul feast] instead to take some pressure off the Henchie Monks as they're the only healers in my group. Glyph of Lesser Energy is not needed, I use [[glowing gaze] to speed the bar a little.

Here's the N/E build -

[build=OAZDUqhKP4C62YtY8FADVVBA] ...works fine. Soul @ 10, Death @ 11.

I might dump one of the Necs for an E/R for EoE -

[build=OgJUoYGaVsM4C/cvYsiMQOQHBAA] ...Fire @ 14. Disable Serpent's Quickness and Edge of Extinction. Micro SQ, then EoE.

W/Rt build -

[build=OQgjEtVKoSDWdF0ksM1FbFBACAA] ...dirty but effective for running ahead of the group to attract agro and disable skills with DwX.

Why should I try this build if I have finished farming deld anyway? Also, 10min. run without this.

In HM? Mind posting the build?

Yeah on HM, and I was rather happy about it as it was my frst and last attempt to make a speed run as opposed to my usual slow, relaxed, afky type of gameplay.

It was a rather long time ago so I might have forgotten some parts of it, but the build i used for it was this:

[build prof=A/R Mark=12 Crit=10+1+1 Beast=8][barrage][critical agility][way of the master][critical eye][edge of extinction][comfort animal][charm animal][sunspear rebirth signet][/build][build prof=N/Rt death=16 soul=13 rest=3][Icy Veins][Rising bile][putrid bile][rotting flesh][putrid explosion][animate bone minions][death nova][flesh of my flesh][/build][build prof=N/Rt chan=12 rest=10 soul=8+1+1][Weapon of Remedy][Ancestor's rage][splinter weapon][spirit rift][life][protective was kaolai][spirit light][mend body and soul][/build][build prof=E/Mo fire=12+1+1 heal=10 energy=8+1][Savannah heat][searing heat][teinai's heat][deep freeze][glyph of elemental power][glyph of lesser energy][heal party][fire attunement][/build]

So as you can see nothing special, justa set of decent (or not

) builds, so I guess it was a matter of luck.

My everege non-afky runs were anywere between 12-14 minutes.
