Question: I'm the likely candidate for the Assassin bar in my guild and I was wondering what [Shadow of Haste] is used for. Do you mean [Dark Escape] or is it for aggro grabbing during Servants of Grenth or something?

So I've only ever played the terra tank and the monk in our speed clears, but I believe the Shadow of Haste is only used so that the sin can take his own quest, "Servents of Grenth". You can see Geyski's guide for the details:

[Terratank;OgVEMLKJz2YA2qlivq0XbwDZaA]

you need the usual +1+3 earth and also a +2 air and +1 energy storage rune.

Apart from that I bring a full Geomancer insignia armor and the caster weapon witha +10AR/+45HP^enchanted shield

That works perfectly, as you can use the glyph to charge Obsiflesh and Sliver armor. AS foes in HM always move faster that usual, churning earth will also knock them down as soon as they try to run out of the aoe which keeps everythign balled up nicely for you (the skill will run out before they get up which cancles the AoE fleeing script)

Th Fooster · May 20, 2008, 11:06 PM // 23:06

ok forst of all there is a reason for EVERYthing in ech bar.

yes lavafont. not churning earth. and armour of earth fails. you dont need it.
read the other guide on terra tnaking and you will better understand my reasons.
if you want to post your terra tank build and feel its better, then write yor own guide.

in my terra tank i adress each of these questions. i explain why lava font over the others. and yes, i have tried several bars. there is nothing i havent tried. there is a reason i ue lava font and NOT armour of earth,OR churning earth, or crystal wave,or aftershock.. your not gonno show me anything new when it comes to tera tanks.

pleas keep my guide pure and on topic to clearing UW. and not a place to puromote your builds. go make your own thread for that.

as for that tarra tank bar.. ill kick your ass timewise with my bars.
any one of the terra tanks in my team wil kick your as timewise with thier bars.

Although quite harsh in his post there, Fooster did detail most of his reasoning pretty thoroughly in his terra tanking guide. (also linked on the first page) it's a good read for anyone looking into doing this, aswell as Krazi Bastid's Perma SF Sin Guide

quick little blurb for you here Rushin Roulette:

yes thats right. and its not a bug. its made that way when echoed, lava font stacks. and because it ends so quickly,most mosters dont scatter (well not the ones that you need to kill)
the monsters that scater from it are: ataxes, grasping darknes, charged blackness, and dream raiders wil if you use it more than twice in a row, and smites.

that leaves mindblades and all the undead monsters in the pits. as well as the terrorwebs.
and these are just the things you want to kill fast.

Th Fooster · May 21, 2008, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Sorry for the harsh way i put it yesterday, i was kinda bitchy form work.
But my stance on the issue remains the same. The damage is done, so no use editing the post now. I could have thought of a softer way to put it.

I get soooo many pms in game! questions that have the answers in the guides i wrote.The very reason i wrote these guides is to answer these questions, and share with the comunity a MUCH more efficient way to clear UW for those that are interested.

so on that note, Please only ask me questions in game that arent answered in my guide. i wont answer quetions that my guides already answer, and those that persist with such questions end up on ignore.

so think about your questions before you ask them, and search the guides for these answers before you pm me please. Thanks.

so basically the assasin will clear out the main chamber whilst one terra will kill all the smites?

yes and by the time the terra si cleared and the sin is done... they sometimes pass each other on the way to thier next task.

Th Fooster · May 26, 2008, 01:55 AM // 01:55

ooh ooh ooh heres mine

Rushin Roulette · May 26, 2008, 09:43 AM // 09:43

Opps. wth? I really didnt mean to post that as a promotion of my build. Half of my post seems to have dissapeared at the beginning.

Im 100% sure that you can beat me at Tanking as I have only had my ele set up for that purpose since less than a week

What I actually wanted to know at the time why lava font and not a second earth damage skill... but the recharge makes it pretty obvious in the end with the DPS calculations.

Thanks for the link Shru. I guess I missed that in the OP the first time reading through and using "terra tank" in Gurusearch didnt help much at finding that thread.
