This guide will be a work in progress. So don't judge it until it's done. It will probably take me a few days to complete it as I'm really busy right now.

This guide will show you everything you need to know to clear the first level of tombs in less than 10 minutes. My personal record is 7 minutes and one of my officers has done it in 5. If you include Shadow Form recharge times it takes that long just to kill the 9 ecto droppers on the first level. So it's worth it.

The character, just like any other permanent shadow form build is an assassin/mesmer. However, you will have to have rank in Sunspear and either Asura or Luxon/Kurzick title tracks

The build: OwVk8xe0AJsEPySgOjJAMgNILoGA

Deadly Paradox
Arcane Echo
Shadow Form
Channeling
Spirit of Failure
Empathy
Radiation Field/Ether Nightmare
Cry of Pain

The armor.

Shadow arts headpiece with Superior rune of Shadow arts = shadow arts +4

The rest of the runes and insignia need to be energy. (i.e. rune of attunement and radiant insignia)

Weapons.
I use a totem axe and a domination offhand. Any one handed +20% enchantment weapon with a domination off-hand will work.

Attributes
Shadow arts 12 +4 = 16
Deadly arts 4
Domination 11
inspiration magic 4

Note: you will need at least rank 4 in asura or luxon/kurzick to make this work well. Also Cry of Pain is much better the higher sunspear rank you have. I run with rank 9, my officer that I mentioned used this build to clear it in 5 minutes is only rank 7 so....

Usage: You'll have to wait on this. I have to stop for now. But you won't have long to wait
