<pvxbig> [build prof=A/Mo dead=12+1 sha=12+1+3 pro=3][Shadow Form][Deadly Paradox][Dark Escape][Dwarven Stability][Dash][Optional][Optional][Rebirth][/build] </pvxbig> For the optional slot you can get a healing skill such as Feigned Neutrality or Viper's Defense. Shadow of Haste is also quite helpfull Also try adding "Finish Him!" to help the beach tank with the last stubborn wallow. (speeds up run)

Equipment

• Weapon with +20% enchanting (such as Totem Axe and a shield).
• Any armor can do with attunement and radiant runes. Get your energy as high as you can.

Usage

• Follow the Beach Smiter, stopping to get the quest Return of the Yeti from Magistrate Kin near the entrance to the zone, until you come to a fork.
• Split off and run down to where Kayali the Brave is.
• Make sure you get the aggro of the Naga and bring them close to Kayali's group so that they primarily kill the assassins (most important part), and possibly Kayali. Your job is then done.
• If any Smiter dies, and that group doesn't have a way to Resurrect him, you may be asked to run over and use a resurrection skill.

Counters

• Failing to keep up Shadow Form.
• Failing to pull enough Naga to the Outcasts.
• The boss group containing 2 Outcast Assassins, Kayali, and a Death-hand will probably wipe the Naga group. Make sure you kill the Assassins if this happens. It's also possible to pull the farthest Naga group to Kayali's group, though this is very hard.
• Getting hit by Chilblains while pulling

Variants

• Pretty much any good runner build will do, regardless of profession. This spot is very flexible.
• Secondary or primary paragons can speed up the run. They should take Enduring Harmony to increase the duration of IAU and "Can't Touch This!" for the Beach tank and cast them before he/she will take on the wallows.

• Use Enduring Harmony on yourself before entering Oni spawns to lengthen durations of your shouts.
