[Shadow [email protected]] + 20% Enchant = 36 second Duration.

[Glyph of Swiftness] + [Deadly Paradox] + [Shadow [email protected]] = 30 second recharge.

In short. Yes

(They haven't updated the icons yet, I think.)

13 Shadow Arts + 20% enchants is enough to perma SF (27s+20% = 32s), it will be harder, but still possiple. So all you need is +1 from mask and 12 SA

Why only +1 shadow arts? Minor Shadow Arts is really easy to get for 600-800g.

It perma shadow form is possble with helm +1. Although it doesn't leave much room for error.

For what perma-SF can get you in farming, I'd think buying the Superior rune would be worth the investment, right?

Yes, it still works.

Yes, the +3 is definitely worth the investment. Made about 40k (9 ectos) in about an hour yesterday ^^

How long are you taking?

My runs are down to about 25 minutes~ if the spawns don't suck.

Well duh, but it's better buy a mask +1 AND a minor rune, so its 14 shadow mastery. Although Superior Shadow Rune would be the best - there were so many times I almost didn't make it with energy thanks to low duration of SF...

You obviously missed my point... i was not saying what is best and what not, i was just saying that you CAN do it without any rune, so people don't have to ask "is 14 enough?" or something... And i don't have energy problems, i almost always refresh SF at recharge anyway (exception being if i really want to cast something before it).
