New Patch = New Forge Running Build?

It all depends on the spawn you get. I think, if I remember correctly there is something like 50% or just over chance to get "a death spawn" which can be extremely hard to run.
I think SoJ is quite a good idea, and I'll probably test it myself at some point
Also, about healing sig, as somebody else said, it's a very useful skill for when you get to a safe area, since you don't have to wait for energy regen, making it a popular choice with runners.
Thanks,

~dw i dont know, but try smite hex instead of remove hex. im not completely sure, but with a 1 second shorter cast/ 8 second longer recharge. it may be useful. depends how you use it

Still works, have soloed a few times but cannot rely on it all the time tbh..
with that helm should be a bit easier, wil be trying this tonight. I carry all glads armour with chest in platemail as this reduces airial attacks. I have a sup vig & abs, Maj tactics, and minors..
Carry a second weapon as a staff to boost your energy in tight spots. You dont need any skill points in it to recieve the energy or other bonues's. (Only apply's to 2 handed staffs)
In my opinion, I want to get rid of endure and breeze. Endure bcoz its a pain when it runs out, i think mine gives almost +300hp which is a hell of a lot to replace. But as long as you throw on breeze it'll keep u alive even if you go into minus numbers. This has saved me a load of times..
There are many builds that can make it to dronks, its finding one that works best for you. Oh an lastly peak times are harder this is tried and tested, and at peak times there are no guarentees. I am always refining my build and trying different things, to keep up with the nurfing. Looking for that build that can runn 99% all the time. Aside from the GW stock-market this is the end game to me..~

Lose Remove Hex, Defensive Stance, and Healing Breeze. There are better ways.

^^ agree with the timing thing. A very important thing to learn and will make the difference in dying or surviving. A good example is the Charge and balenced use, a lot of the new runners spam them together which should not be done in most cases.
I dont agree with ur mending thou, used to use a lot before and have not gone back since.. but different thimgs for different pple. =]

Mending + Holy veil = 2 enchantments
Bleeding + crippled = 2 conditions
Contemplation of Purity = clean slate.
I know the helm of which you speak. Comes from the City of Nerfed Weapons. Helps big time on my Dragon Sword runs. Of course, many people won't have access to this helm because they take it upon themselves to skip an entire 1/3 of the PvE map.

Yeah its the lieutenants helm from Henge of Denravi, I have it but dont use it on the Droks run. I definately have a higher than 80% success rate and I dont even run all that often. I also dont use mending or contemplation. I think Mending would be awesome to add back to my skillbar, but I just find the hexes to be more of a problem so I take smite hex as well as holy veil.
I use
Balanced Stance
Charge
Sprint
Endure Pain
Heal Siggy
Purge Conditions
Smite Hex
Holy Veil
Glads armor + Ascalon Helm
Tactics 16
Strength 13
Axe 4 (LOL)
Equipment
Sup. Abs.
Sup. Vigor
Sup. Tactics
Fiery Flame Spitter of Fortitude (This axe is from a collector outside Serenity Temple, its a short jog south of there, the collector is only available if your country has favor and he takes lodestones which you can easily get on your way to that collector)
6-16 Req 3 Axe
Improves Skill Recharge 10% chance
HP +29 (Im cheap)
Round Shield Max Armor
Tactics +1 (20% chance)
Rec. Dmg - 2 while enchanted
Biggest thing for success rate is practice, Im sure there are tons of better builds, better equipment, etc. The hardest part of the run is Loranars Pass there are really 2 areas that worry me, the wurm cave (there are plenty of spawns with no rest stop in that general area) and the Ice Golem hill towards the end of the run. Sometimes you'll get a bad spawn there and youll be forced to choose between aggroing 3 Golems, or 5 golems. If I find myself in that situation I will switch to the Lieutenants helm, but even then, it can get ugly. And of course sometimes you can get pinned by trolls, and that is embarassing, because that shouldnt happen once you have the experience doing the run. One time the Ranger boss troll laid a spirit in JUST the right location and I had a little opening (or so I thought) only to run into this spirit and get pinned.
Anyways I like doing the run when I am bored and usually someone I know will ask for a free run, so I meet them in Beacons and fill the rest of the party up for a free run.

So the above is what we had before the posts above. Now we have added Contemplation of Purity and Holy Vail.

Someone above mentioned the Lt. Helm form HoD so that is out of the bag. This helmet is very important in the Lomars section IMO as it with ½ you hex time. With the helm on you will only need one hex remover (holy veil). It was also noted above that if you have mending and holy vail on at the same time you can end them both with cont. of purity. When you do this you will remove the bleeding and crippled from a spiked trap which could save your but. Sure averica sometimes strip the enchantments but it is better than any other combination I have tried. You do not have to use Cont. of Purity to end Holy Veil you can do it manually which is far faster than any skill you could use.
Now you have a build and 1 piece of equipment. It should me common sense to use a shield that gives you damage reduction (there is one that is perfect for this) and a shield that gives you health. I always use 2 different shields for different sections of the run (figure this out on your own). It should also go without saying that you want a weapon with a fortitude mod. Any ruins you can think of that will help?
You have a good start to running Droks if you do or don’t use the build that has been outlined above. I donated very little to this thread…simply asked questions and formed off others posts so I will not take any credit. Like I said above this build is worth nothing if you don’t know the run and how to best use the skills.
Good luck and I hope to see you in Beacons!
