Is there any heroway builds out there for a Catacombs Kathandrax Speed Clear in HM? All the ones I have seen on PvXwiki are human player team builds. I main a warrior, but can also use a ranger. Thanks.

If you want to do a SC with 7 heroes, I'd sugest using your ranger with SF and EVAS along with running skills, you'd be able to do the 1st lvl with no problems, and lvl2 shouldn't e much of a problem either. For lvl 3 you should aggro all the mobs around the spawn point and use whirling defenses to kill the melee, then go and trigger the boss, and proceed to glitch him along the wall, then have you heroes run with you to the end boss to help kill it. I'd suggest having multiple Fall Back's on your heroes to aid with their running.

There should be several vids on youtube showing how to solo the dungeon, so watch them and it shouldn't be too difficult for you to adapt the strategies for a 1 player 7 hero SC.

Ok, i'll try that, but do you have any hero recommendations?

Aga is right on point....R/A using SF and WD can solo it...so using it with heros will definately work.

Ok, i tried this in NM, and i failed. Its easy enough to get through enemies...but I can't seem to defeat the Infernal Siege Wurm. My bar is composed of Shadow Form, Shroud of Distress, Death's Charge, Dwarven Stability, Ebon Battle Standard of Honor, Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, Whirling Defense and Dark Escape. I'm wielding a Totem Axe and...I need to find a good shield. I'm using Survivor/Blessed and Attunement runes. I have 12 in Shadow Arts and 12 in Expertise.

So here's what I do. I enter the dungeon. Pop SoD, DS, and DE, occasionally using SF if encountering caster enemies. I shadow step to the infernal siege wurm, pop EBSoH, EVAS, SF and WD. However, i can only get the siege wurm to about 1/2 health before I run out of mp and can't use SF/SoD/WD to protect myself, and I die.

I think my main problems are energy management, and sustaining my enchantments. Do you have any recommendations?

Use zealous daggers to keep energy up. And get a staff, for a higher energy set.

You need to use a BU and any combination of grails of might, candy corn, lunar fortunes, and golden eggs to get your shadow arts to 15 so that you can permanently maintain shadow form.

Also, NM if FTL when using Sliver/Whirling, because thats less aggro and therefor less damage.

EBSoH is hardly worth it for just EVAS, it doesn't increase Whirling at all. Bring PI, it will help kill the boss when you are there with heroes.

Bring Natural Stride over Dark Escape. Its better and you should be able to spec enough into its attribute to make it perma with DS.

Ok, this isn't working on my ranger. I'm thinking of running my ele to Doomlore so that I can try kath. Maybe using Glyph of Swiftness to maintain Shadow Form, and then I can use sliver armor, and that one earth skill where your armor is buffed. Think it'll work?

Or should I just delete one of my characters and make a sin? I only have a level 1 rit that I can delete...but I feel like a rit is more useful in the future.

Well, there isnt rly such thing as a hero speed clear, there are fast ways and slow ways of doing things with heroes but they are too dumb to really be much use without massive microing. If you want to speedclear it, there are speedclear builds available, if you want to solo it, there are solo builds available, but hero speedclears don't really exist

You can always try to join a pug SC group, and pay their BU's. They'll usually take you along then.
