Default Running Ice Dome - Any Tips?

Okay guys... I have tried and tried Ice Dome and kept failing. I have tried numerous builds and even the new Shadow Runner that I run droks in 17 minutes. Droks is really easy but this isn't. I am having a huge problem with all the snares(Mesmers have Anguish, Golems/Imps has snares), and no resting points. All the mobs are very close to each other. They also deal heavy damage since they are huge mobs.

I can run about everywhere but this place. Help!

Yes but A/W Shadow Runner build does not keep up SF forever. And all the mobs have snares so you'll eventually run out.

I have no problems with a dual shadow step vow of silence runner, but if you get hit with crippling anguish you lose.

Never used SF to run it.

...You don't need Glyph of Swiftness to keep SF up if you run 16 Shadow Arts and have a 20% enchanting weapon (like totem axe). I ran my Sin through it a couple of days ago. Here is the template code for the build I use.

Equipment wise, I use a totem Axe, The bison cup, armor with all Radiant insignia and attunement runes except for the superior shadow rune.

But then you're using Paradox...ends your current stance and costs 10 more energy, only plus is 1.75 seconds.

Hrm, good point, I'll have to try that and see how it works.

Get good and use D/A...Shadow Form is so out of date.
