The Chestrunners Thread

Does anyone have a good build for Rits to CR luxon chests?

Rit primarys cant run, period.

Ummm, did you even attempt a veriety of builds Solus? Could you bother explaining me why rits cannot run?

For a rit (I've never tried) but think regen and think speed. For the speed look towards a second class.

But always think either negation/regen in skill selection

...... So if all these W/A running builds work fine....

... What about Assassin Primary with a Shadowy Mask of Superior Shadow Arts? Assuming for a moment that I snatched Chae Soon out of Urgoz's Warren to chest-run in hard mode... would I be able to manage alright?

I did have a prototype running A/Me build from some while back with Shadow Form, Deadly Paradox and Arcane Echo... and I could use it to do FedEx runs through Ferndale (that repeatable carrying quest). Hard Mode on the other hand might be another kettle of fish entirely.

Suggestions?

[Could I Chest-Run Nahpui Quarter?]

Almost every profession can run as x/A

Shadow Form and some speed boosts

Yep. All characters with at least 3 energy pips can run with x/A. I know a guy with Mo/A running FoW, a guy with Grandmaster Carto using E/A... Shadow Form + Deadly Paradox + Heart of Shadow + some speed buffs + self-heal if you have free slot.

Warriors only have 2 pips.....

So presumably that means that Assassin Primary is a no-brainer?

I can't help but wonder whether I should even bother with Arcane Echo .... It tends to involve stopping to recast the echoed Shadow Form sometimes in the midst of a hounding mob.... causing them to aggro even further.

On the upside though, despite the energy costs, DP'd Shadow Form -> AE'd Shadow Form -> DP'd Shadow Form can keep an A/Me with 16 Shadow Arts alive for a very long time.

Choices.... choices....

Afterall... A/R could run for longer...
Then again.... my usual sprinting choice of A/D with Pious Haste would be the worst error of judgement imaginable... I needz better running skillz.

I think my question isn't worth making a total new thread so I ask here:

Is it possible to get req7 or req8 gold items from high end chests?

Just asking cause I seriously haven't got one, and just out of curiousity wondering if I am just unlucky or if it is impossible ;p

Thank you already.

Melandrus Path or Ferndale is win.

I have not seen any items in my past 5,000 chests ran that were gold, max, and Req 8. Most of the running has been in Tyria, with a bit spread across Cantha & Elona. Also, all of my chest-running friends have experienced the same thing.

I do not believe locked chests in HM have fixed it either, as I've ran 1,500+ so far, and ... no gold max Req 8s. -_-

I'm convinced they drop no longer, or only as monster loot. (Which I haven't seen any from that either)

Last time i got a req8 was ack in the Hells precipice chtes running days..

before the Ai change, i got a req8 magmas shield.

only req8 i ever got

I have to agree with Star Alfur, I haven't seen a max damage gold req.8 ever since the good old Prophecie Campaign.

Exact same here.

For Nahpui HM, I use:
Mo/D
55 Hp

Prot Spirit
Mystic Regeneration
Enchanted Haste
Shielding hands
Spell Breaker [e]
Blessed Aura
Essence bond
Balthazar's spirit

SB for the celestial bosses. SH when you have lots of pressure.

This is more or less the route I take. Go through the right-most celestial orb at the start.

Really? I have rank 3 chestrun title on my Rit, all from solo running in Melandru's, which is quite a hard run..

sssh dont tell him or u may break his ego and he start crying

Thanks guys, my Rt/A has 180 chests opened already

I've been away for a while, but will update thread! Båmp
