Hey guys recently i have noticed that alot of pepole do not want to go on a entire southern shiver peak tour. Most of the time they only want to get to grottos. So i decided i would teach myself a run to get throgh the icedome. Only thing is... i cant quite manage it.

Are there any runners out there that can lend me a hand? I have tried at least a 100 times on my derv and i can not manage it.

So the question is
Does anyone know a good dervish build to run throgh the icedome?

well, you could go /A and just take shadow form and laugh at the whole thing because of the recent buff...

Matsif got it. Shadow Form was always used for Icedome, but due to the previous low time for the enchantment, only A/Me were able to run it. Now anyone can.

Icedome is basically impossible without SF. its just to crowded. thats why dervs run the peaks tour, its possible. leave ice dome to the assassins.

Not true at all...i used a pure derv with some norn/deldrimor skills and runned myself to Grotto even if i had big luck cos of some groups did not see me passing by

Not much skill is required to run through Icedome with dual interventions , vos and dwarf stability + dark escape :|

I remember there was a couple Warrior runners, and a few Monk runners WAY back in the day that could run it. Obviously monks has Spellbreaker...but the warriors I don't even remember how it was possible.

The warriors used gear that was special at that time aka -2 stance -3 sheild with a knights insignia and if I remember right something else gave -10 dmg reduction so they could tank through it although still quite tough.

I think it was Lieutenants Insignia which reduces hex duration

Avatar of Dwayna or Vow of Silence would be your elites of choice as a Dervish Runner for the Icedome. Dervish has some very nice running skills, you wont even need a secondary for running nor any PvE only skills, maybe Eternal Aura if running the Avatar of Dwayna version.

I was able to run this once with my derv- i died several times, but finnaly got far enough to get to the far rez shrine and run to the portal. After that i was so dp'd out that i couldn't make frozen forest.

Rothan Celt · Jun 01, 2008, 04:08 PM // 16:08

I used avatar of D but it dnt work well enough

Tender Care · Jun 01, 2008, 06:02 PM // 18:02

For sure it did not work....for removing hexes and gain life u must use a skill..and u cannot do it while running. You must be quick.

faraaz · Jun 15, 2008, 10:47 AM // 10:47

Easy as pie

Just have to be quick to refresh Mystic Regen & get your VoS up in time without getting hit with a crippling anguish or deep freeze along the way. IDK if you run a lot but I hang out in Beacon's Perch on my derv a lot, IGN is Mara Scythestorm.

Cheers,
Faraaz

haha, sure... whats the point of mending touch? and signet of mystic speed slows you down to much with the aftercast to really be worth it, unless they fixed it without me noticing.

faraaz · Jun 16, 2008, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Lotus...you dont know how to cancel aftercast? O.o Lol..you need to practice my friend. And mending touch was used before the buff to myst. regen to allow you to bypass the bleeding...you can do without, but I feel comfortable carrying it.

Besides, if I had to, I could run it with the normal pro build for droks, except with dark escape instead of fleeting..but this is recommended to a newbie trying to master the run.
