Using the aforementioned build as a guide, I've figured out a way to solo the first stage and more of the ToPK.

Skills:
[skill]Shadow Form[/skill]
[skill]Glyph of Elemental Power[/skill]
[skill]Sliver Armor[/skill]
[skill]Death's Charge[/skill]
[skill]Stone Daggers[/skill]
^Optional^
[skill]Earth Attunement[/skill]
^Optional^
[skill]Shadow of Haste[/skill]
^^^Your recall, usable WITHOUT an NPC/Partner, unlike Recall^^^
[skill]Dash[/skill]
^^^Any other stance used to cancel Shadow of Haste^^^

Attributes:
Earth Magic 16 for E/A 12 for A/E
Shadow Arts 12 for E/A 16 for A/E
Energy Storage: 3 + rune of choice for E/A

How it works:
Cast Earth Attunement, Shadow of Haste. Pick your target, get close to him, cast Shadow Form and Glyph of Elemental Power, Death's Charge to him, cast Sliver Armor, then spam Stone Daggers.

When Shadow Form is almost down, cast Dash or whichever Stance you chose to use, and viola, back to safety!

Rinse and repeat until there are no more enemies!

Concerns:
IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO KILL A SOLE GRASP OF INSANITY, TRY TO KILL THEM FIRST. SLIVER ARMOR ALMOST ALWAYS TARGETS THE SCYTHES FIRST, SO TRY TO KEEP AWAY FROM THEM UNTIL THEY ARE ALONE.

********************NOTE********************
THIS IS STILL IN TESTING AND IS THEORETIC. IT IS CAPABLE OF SOLOING THE FIRST STAGE FOR SURE, NOT SURE ABOUT HOW IT WILL STAND UP TO WURMS, THOUGH!

Deadly Paradox>dash
Its a cancel stance and it makes the run 33% faster.

What would you use Deadly Paradox on, though?

If you use it to decrease the recharge on Shadow Form then you'd have to cast Shadow Form back at the beginning, then SoH, then run to the enemies..

Deadly Paradox is more an illusion of haste whilst using Shadow of Haste.

Yes I thought of this build already, but didn't like it because it's slower than the recall build because you have to wait until shadowform recharges. What I did was just bring a hero with me using the recall build, and it goes pretty quick however you do share your drops.

I multilogged and had my second account do that.... lagged me a bit though, so I decided to figure out this solo build.

Yes, whats your point? Shadow form still ends at about exactly the same time as sliver.

Basically Deadly Paradox would see no use in this build. Period.

That's my point by the way.

Ever play Teleway?

Deadly Paradox > Shadow of Haste > Whatever the heck you happen to be doing> Deadly Paradox > Rinse, Wash, Repeat.

Shorter recharge on Shadow of Haste = less time waiting for it to recharge, more room for mistakes, and an all-around faster run. It's the same concept here as in HA (especially taking into consideration the changes made to Shadow of Haste in the last Test Weekend).

Well as is Shadow of Haste is not the thing that I end up waiting for.

Anyways, I personally don't use Dash, I just put it there because every Assassin has it.

I personally use some random Stance that was really close to Shadow of Haste in my skill panel
