Curse

Hi I was trying to run Gunners Hold to Rata Sum. I am using a R/Mo escape, with mending to help with health, vail for hex removal, and patient spirit before going into mobs.

I can make it all the way to Umbral Grotto without a sweat. And that is without careful agroing. Running through every mob. Only ones that gave me a problem are avalanches.

I can make it from VIox Falls to Rata Sum. I just cannot run from Umbral Grotto to VIox Falls. What is a ranger build that might help. I have tried this like 20 times. I have been tweaking random builds.

Anyway any help or tips for this part is greatly appreciated.

Get 3 Monk heroes with Unyielding aura.

You start the run by flagging them close to the entry point. You run, and if you die, you run with one of the heroes to the portal. It gets teleported to you, it will automatically stop maintaining UA.

Or just take several heroes and henches and run with them as meatshields ;p Equip with Charge and Spring/Enraging Charge and Fall Back and you're good.

You could try:

Me secondary and add hex breaker, revealed hex & inspired hex to your bar.

Go Derv secondary and use VoS, it'll have a short duration but it could help if used wisely.

Go Derv secondary and use the mystic regeneration > vital boon > pious restoration hex removal/healing mechanism. (Might stretch attribs too far, not sure.)

jake.fl.1987 If you could be more specific on whats causing you problems? snares, degen, damage etc, etc. Also if you posted your build that could also be of assistance.

[Dodge][Escape][Zojuns Haste][I am Unstopable][Antidote Signet][Restful Breeze][Holy Vail][Mending]

Precast Holy Vail and Mending, Use running skills with escape as much as possible. I precast restful Breeze before running through mobs if I get the chance to stop first.

I always die because I cant get a chance to stop to cast antidote signet. And holy vial is only good for 1 hex on the run. It just cant handle the degen pressure I get. I usually die just as I get to the first bridge.

I could always take meat shields but that takes away the fun of being able to run it.

I also tried the VOS trick. It just does not last long enough for all the pressure I take in that place. It is just way to short. Maybe for open area running, but not in the dungeon. I actually use the VOS trick on some parts of my droks run.
