Usage[]
Same usage as the GDW Daggers build above, except use "You Move Like a Dwarf!"EotNNo Profession. Norn rank 10"You Move Like a Dwarf!"ShoutTarget foe is knocked down and takes 80 damage. When that foe gets up, it is Crippled for 15 seconds. PvE only.1010 to help keep your target knocked down.
Equipment[]
All builds use the same equipment. Note that the A/N Gater should also be using Alcohol to avoid knockdowns.
The A/N should make the run, as he has Dash on his bar. Running through Dalada Uplands to Sacnoth is very straightforward. The only dangerous enemy you will meet if you are careless is Molotov Rocktail, but that is easily avoidable if you watch your compass. Even if you do aggro him just keep running and you won't take much damage.
The run from Sacnoth Valley to Kath will look a bit more difficult. However, as long as you recast SF on recharge, it will be very simple and you will not die. Make sure to not aggro any bosses along the way if you can. If needed. use Death's Charge for mobility/heal and to lose aggro.
Counters[]
Not Maintaining your enchantments while running.
Daze from Enchanted Swords on Level 1 and 2 when you have to recast SF.
Bad A/N
Not dropping Fire bombs away from the party.
Getting hit by a Lava boulder. (stand between the paths taken by the outer and inner boulders, which is just about where Ilsunder Spawns)
