Usage

Level 1

• Run to floor 3.

Level 3

• Pull a Becalmed Djinn and have your team kill it.
• Aggro the Flame Djinn and pull him to the gateway between the 1st room and 2nd room. When you aggro, you'll need to have dark escape up, and you'll need shadow refuge as a cover enchantment for consuming flames. You should die at the gateway. The Flame Djinn will stay at the gateway and will not return to his spawn location.
• Have your team die so you can res.
• Aggro everything in the first room except the Flame Djinn, and pull them off to the side 3
• Have your team ball up and kill the Flame Djinn with PI and melee.
• Get the key, and run with your team to the next shrine, everyone should die and you should res at the next shrine
• Ball up everything in the next room, pull them off to the side, and have the team run towards the Siege Wurms so they can die and res at the next shrine.
• In the next room, use the Flame Jets to kill the Burning Spirits, you'll likely have 45% DP at the time, if you don't have DP remover. By killing the burning spirits (aprox.7-8) in the jets, you'll lose your dp and effectively clear a path to the next shrine.
• Have your team run to the next shrine.
• Have your team pay here, if you are charging people.

Boss

• Have your team ball up, one person aggro him, and PI him make sure PI is up when Savannah Heat goes off on your party (for maximum damage to the boss)
• When your party dies, run into a fireball so you do not accumulate Death Penalty--effectively not getting kicked out of the dungeon.
• Repeat until the boss dies. 4 It should take 2-3 Pain Inverters. Approximately 45 sec per pain inverter res-cycle.

Counters
