Heh, pre-factions forgerunning was a little more hassle :P (My old Charge! build <3, inferior to Luke's but still fun.)

Some builds I use (stats: 13 illu, 12 tac, no super runes)

Charge
Sprint
Hex breaker
Inspired Hex
Revealed Hex
Distortion
Balanced Stance
Healing Signet

^For Kurzick areas, which have many hexes from mantis. In group runs, I drop Revealed for Res sig. In Raisu Palance, I tend to drop Balanced for Shields Up and Breaker for Defensive stance/deflect arrows. I tend not to use Illusion of Weakness as many areas have Shatters, however Revealed can easily be subbed out for it if you find it necessary.

Alternatively, Me/A runner (13 illu, 12 Shadow)

Shadow Form
Arcane Echo
Arcane Mimicry (if dual me/a running), otherwise pick something
Death's Charge
Dark Escape
Dash
Illu of Weakness (if SF drops in a bad place, Dark Escape + this will often get you quick health)
Shadow Refuge

Slower as it can't run constantly, but indestructable over short distances (areas with powerful packs, such as Drazach).

I'll try your build Indian, see how it goes.
