Archive:Team - Desolation Run

These builds are used to run from Sunspear Sanctuary to Kodash Bazaar to get Vabbian by going through the Desolation, instead of doing all the missions to get there. This can be run with any class with a few changes, and can be done in about 20 minutes if done correctly. This run is soloable with a lot of practice, but this build is a very reliable and efficient way to run.

Attributes and Skills

Variants
Almost any class can be made to use a similar build, all you need is UA, running stances, and a shadow step. The ebon vanguard has a nice shadow step in case you do not want to have an assassin primary or secondary class. It is highly recommended that you use Resurrect or another non teleport res as your optional skill, the first area you encounter the sulfurous haze at can be very difficult without it if you do not know what you are doing. Check the video guide at the bottom of the page for more information on that.

Equipment

 * Use the equipment from the first build on this page.

Usage
Run as if you were using the first build, but stay in the aggro range of your partner in case they die. Ending UA is the key for running past the sulfurous haze. There is a video at the bottom showing the route.

Counters
Not maintaining UA and both assassins dying.
