Spellbreaker is next to useless as far as HM goes though. Uber damage wanding + relentless chasing w/o Dash = dead.

Why do you have no sup runes when all your builds use Shadow Form? That or i've just been running around near HM Rain of Terrors too much and that damn 13s Mind Freeze...

Oh and Storm Chaser is useless as far as the R/A goes, Shadow of Haste all the way. SC really doesn't help at all, useless for breaking agro.

You can use superior runes. I use minor runes because I use the same armor for other builds.

Use the advantages of a 55 monk with SB, or even the mirage cloak of a Derv, since the running spell would come from there, to assist SB.

Cast Serpent's quickness then spell breaker. Quickly hit storm chaser and run off. When storm chaser is wearing off, use dodge if needed.

As soon as you hit storm chaser, serpents quickness will be disabled.

Edit: Ok I found a similar build and that you're supposed to use the running while serpents quickness is recharging. Do you recommend fighting enemies by chests or trying to run solo and get everything?

The casting order is Serpent's Quickness, Spellbreaker, Storm Chaser.

Serpent's Quickness affects the recharge of Storm Chaser too.

I run solo; it's a lot easier than trying to find a way to kill every mob.

It's pretty easy to make money chestrunning. All of the builds with shadow form and dash can run in hard mode too.

Best place? Lately I've been running a lot in Poisoned Outcrops in Hard Mode trying to get an Elemental Sword. No luck so far. I get some good drops from Nightfallen Jahai and Raisu Palace.

Id like to make a couple requests for 2 chest running locations

The first location is the sulferous wastes starting from Remains of Sehlaja. On average you can get 3 chests in about 7-8 minutes time, without having to get out of the junundu worms, and of course you can go with hench. Alotta times theres a chest by the Hakjor boss group so elemental swords are possible here. Dead Swords, Dead bows, and Sephis Axes are also possible where the chests spawn by the undead groups. All in all a fast run with the possibility for very nice loot.

The 2nd location is the quickest chest running location that I know of in DOA, and that's in Ravenheart Gloom. This is a pretty slow chest running location, but the drops are almost always golds and of course the possibility of high end loot including ele swords is the best here, especially in hardmode. about a third of the time or so a chest doesnt even spawn though so patience is a key. If there is a chest it usually spawns on the western end where theres the shadow groups and demon groups moving around. Shadow Form is a must for this area, especially in hardmode, and I recommend bringing a hero to recall too but shadow of haste works too.

I'd really like to hear of more fast chest running locations, especially in factions. Lets hear it!

I occasionaly do runs in the jade sea area with my ranger. Starting from zos chivros channel, usually there are 2-3 chests, that drop jade swords, oni skinned weapons, depending wether the chest spawns near a group of oni's or naga's.
