Usage

General

The route.

Keep Mystic Regeneration active at all times.
Fleeting Stability is only needed at one point in the run
Lyssa's Haste and Mystic Regeneration gives 4 pips of health regeneration, while draining an equivalent of 3
Armor of Sanctity is a cheap and fast cover enchantment against Irwyn the Severe's Shatter Enchantment as well as a life boost from Mystic Regeneration

The Swamp

Be careful when entering the swamp as the Hellhounds can easily trap you in the narrow corridors.
After entering the swamp, stay on the left hand side using Harrier's Haste to get past the second dragon. Run to the right hand side of the swamp before attracting the Aggro of Rotscale
Cast Mystic Regeneration, Stoneflesh Aura and Lyssa's Haste before running to the gate and through. Activate Fleeting Stability before encountering the Hill Giants and a speed boost to get you to the top of the hill. Allow Fleeting Stability to end before continuing the run.

The Beach

Activate Vizier Khilbron and back up to the edge of the hill behind you to keep the White Mantle from targeting him
Keep Stoneflesh Aura and Mystic Regeneration Active at all times.
Use Glyph of Concentration to prevent Stoneflesh Aura from being interrupted by Savage Shot.
Watch out for Irwyn because his Shatter Enchantment will kill you if Stoneflesh Aura is removed. Use Armor of Sanctity before or during his casting of Shatter Enchantment to prevent this
Energy will be tight until the Justicars arrive. Use the skills only as you need them.
Use the Zealous Scythe to keep your energy up.
Sliver Armor will do massive damage to a nearby enemy.

Counters

Stoneflesh Aura being removed.
Mystic Regeneration being disabled.

Variants

Replace Stoneflesh Aura with Kinetic Armor and put Stone Daggers in the optional slot.

Notes

With this, a Dervish runner may run from Lion's Arch all the way to the Crystal Desert, rather than just to Sanctum Cay
