Display your Ebon Vanguard Agent title if you have one, the Rebel Yell bonus works here!
Check which boss has spawned - if it's Red Eye, /resign. If not, proceed.
Apply all your enchants (except Sliver) before right before pulling the lever.
After pulling the lever, start running towards the gate. Try not to get bodyblocked by the charr.
At the gate use your anti-KD skill and refresh your enchants. Wait for the Charr to ball on you a bit then run outside.
There's an effigy in a pit, circle around it just once. When you're halfway through, refresh your enchants again.
If done right, the Flame Wielders and the boss should be balled up. Run to them, use your anti-KD, refresh enchants, put down EBSoH and start spiking.
Kill priority: Flame Wielder > Boss > Melee charr > Stalkers. Once the Flame Wielders are down you no longer have to use the anti-KD skill, but until then maintain it on CD.
It's important to kill Stalkers last. Their rapid ranged attacks serve as constant fuel for Sliver Armor thus making your job easier.
Head north, do not pull any other mobs. Ball them up and spike.

Enter the Domain of Fear from the Gate of Fear with your Lightbringer title on. The higher the rank, the better.
Flag your hero near the portal, enchant yourself, then ball the multiple groups in front of you. Those will be composed of mostly Rains of Terror and Spears of Torment.
Be careful not to aggro Scythes of Chaos, as they can interrupt you. If no Scythes of Chaos accompany the Storm of Anguish, you can take on his group.
When everything is balled, bring your hero into spirit range, have him cast EoE, then flag him out of range. Cast Sliver armor (multiple times) so everything dies.
In the Domain of Fear, it is also possible to farm the Torment mobs outside the Gate of Secrets. Same method applies.

Cast your enchantments, then pull all the Hydras & Golems around the little lava lake directly in front of you by moving counterclockwise.
Arrving again near your starting point, do the Right Wall Block [1] with your ball near the rock formation to the right of the lava lake opening (in front of the Resurrection Shrine, next to a burnt tree).
Start casting your offensive skills between your enchantments.
Aftershock is more efficent than Sliver Armor here, as it will deny the Flesh Golems the opportunity to create minions to heal themselves (using Taste of DeathCoreNecromancer. Death Magic Taste of DeathSpellSteal up to 100..340..420 Health from target animated undead ally.5¼).
Aftershock - extra damage, makes it easier to mop up mobs especially stragglers.
Elemental Lord - higher SA damage, bit better energy management and some healing (if necessary).
Earth Attunement - sometimes necessary for energy management when farming smaller groups with
