Usage

 * As soon as you zone in use and then  and head towards the mantids. Use a second  as soon as it is off cooldown. Before the second one ends you will be in range of the mantids.
 * Stop before aggroing them and use, , and then.
 * Then recast and start grabbing the groups.
 * You should have no problem getting there fast enough, but if you are too slow getting there (possible disconnect, maybe AFK, or if you died once already), the mantid groups could start getting bad aggro, making them unable to be balled, slowing the run down, or failing.
 * Do not stop and get a chest on the way, you can get it afterwards.
 * After you aggro the last group you want to place your as close to this spot as possible.
 * If you are slow getting to the SoH spot, go ahead and recast Deadly Paradox and Shadow Form before placing your SoH.
 * Keep running and turn right into the little cove (where Naiju can possibly be) and run to the far corner to pull the mantid monks around the corner. Then head back left until you get around this area or until the mantid monks ball up perfectly.
 * Recast whenever you need to, but try to do it as late as possible.
 * Do NOT use any stance during this, even to recast your SF as it will then cancel your SoH.
 * Once you have pulled to around this area and have made sure the mantid monks are balled. Go ahead and recast and then use  to jump back to your SoH spot. Make adjustmants quickly to make sure the ball is good then wait until all of the mantid necromancers are settled, then run in and use  once you are in the middle of them all.
 * If you are fast enough you can cast Deadly Paradox instead of Natural Stride to jump back and give your Shadow Form more time.
 * As soon as you use Whirling, go ahead and cast your exactly where you are standing. Wait until everything is dead, then pick up your drops and go get any chests that might have spawned.
 * Make sure not to cancel your Whirling stance or move around too much.
