− | A select group of players were initially driven to faster times by a series of competitive threads on [http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10212734 GWGuru], where it was first shown that speed clears halved the time of conventional builds. In response to the change in Ursan Blessing, speed clears became mainstream and the average time to complete elite areas significantly dropped. As a result, speed clear builds were, and still are, the focus of skill changes in PvE. Examples of this include the previous changes in [[gww:Cry of Pain|Cry of Pain]] and [[gww:Ray of Judgment|Ray of Judgment]] and the imminent change to [[gww:Shadow Form|Shadow Form]]. |

Introduction to Speed Clears
|
In PvE, the concept of speed clears for dungeons, elite areas and to farm faction has become extremely popular. The idea of a speed clear is simple: get the end reward in the minimum time possible to maximize the chance of a rare drop or amount of Faction gained in a given time inteval. Speed clear builds are usually quite area specific and generally focus on spiking with AoE or skipping foes. Some of the most popular speed clear builds include: Mesmer Spike, where balled foes are spiked with armor-ignoring AoE damage; Manly Spike, which uses a combination of Hundred Blades and Whirlwind Attack to mass trigger Mark of Pain and Sinway, a build where every party member has Shadow Form. |
