Even with a superior absorbtion the +40 armor from Physical Resistance is not enough to negate some of the damage. It is possible to do with PR alone, but you have to heal more often thus prolonging the run.

One of few things you can do:

1. In the event you have to aggro some skales, run into a stopping point for one of the driftwood's patrol paths. This requires that you have prior knowledge of the run and know where all of the groups stop. Also, you can't aggro any dryders unless you want to cancel Wastrel's with Frenzy to prevent that damage.

2. After running, remove whatever armour you have with your superior rune for 75 more health. When the degen stops and you're well about 75 health, throw the armour back on.

3. +health armour and the denravi helm.

Oh, and the under 6 minute clearing of the front cave using the the /mo build:

Legionaires armor is enough to make up that difference. With that armor set your free to save the extra slot for another attack skill. You just have to be careful with your energy.

Think I posted it a few pages back, but rather than waste both our time checking:

Healing Prayers: 10
Sword: 12 + 3 + 1
Strength: 2 + 1
Tactics: 8 + 1

That video was from a while ago (note when I open my guild listing briefly you don't see the alliance stuff ) so I would highly advise the legionnaires set for it along with a -2/-2 shield. Hmm... wonder if that would be enough extra defense to drop Watch Yourself and tack on some more offense...

I had a great run last night where I cleared the cave and got FIVE shards to drop.

I've also been use an Axe build with new Triple Chop elite and it's been working very well for me. One of the new twists I've add is a +19% Pruning Axe Mod, to help clear out the Driftwoods faster. So far it works very well also.

Thanks again for posting this Racthoh! It's been a fun and challenging run.

I've found that I can build up adrenaline quicker if I don't use Final thrust and can use more adrenaline attacks. But I've been using an adrenaline heavy build and dragon slash, so Final Thrust would just slow me down.

This is my recent build:

1. Dragon
2. Standing
3. SilverWing
4. Galrath
5. Sun and Moon
6. Healing Sig
7. Physical Resistance
8. Sprint

Mine's geared at taking down solo spiders, or small groups quicker, and doesn't neccesarily work well against a large bunched group.

I'm gonna try the W/Mo build to compare times.
