Equipment[]
- Make sure you have a +20% enchantment mod and high energy weapon or weapon set
Usage[]
- Make sure you use glypf of concentration before every cast when dealing with daze spammers
- Make sure you use "I am unstoppable!" when dealing with the daze spammers since Hidden Rock also causes knock-down which can slow the balling process
- Before you call a target, make sure you use ward against foes to keep them from un-balling during spikes
- Let the terra tank ball the first two groups
- Ball the daze spammers in the third room and block them at the bridge with the terra tank then call a target in the middle of the mob
- In the fourth room, ball the first group and pull the off to the side so the terra tank can pass
- When the terra tank passes and the mob is balled well, call a target in the center of the mob
- After the first group in the fourth room is dead, repeat the same process for the second
- In the last room, help kill the inital group

- Elementalists should consider bringing an Assassins Promise nuker, Searing Flame, or shockwave build

Usage[]
- Try to spike at the same time with the other spikers
- Spike only when a target has been called
- If someone needs healed, use Ebon Escape on them
- If the terra tank is not an R/A, spike the mob in the first room
- Kill everything along the way to the third room, note that those foes can not be balled so you will have to kill them indivisually
- In the third room, kill the first four enemies off to the right before killing the foes at the bridge
- Spike the mob at the bridge when it's called then kill everything along the path to the fourth room
- In the fourth room, spike the mobs when called as usual
- Most likely there will be a few leftover enemies from the terra tank getting the key to the next room, so kill them
- In the last room, the inital group can not be balled so kill them indivisually
EoE[]
<pvxbig> [build prof=R/Rt Beast=12+1+3 Channeling=12 Restoration=3][edge of extinction][Ancestor's rage][clamor of souls][Spirit Rift]["by ural's hammer!"][optional][Summon spirits][flesh of my flesh][/build] </pvxbig>

- Consider Spirit Siphon or a benifical spirit for the optional space
- Note, if you or your group wants, you can exchange the channeling skils for restoration skills to heal
Equipment[]
- A +20 energy staff is best
Usage[]
- Always maintain EoE and keep it at a safe distance so it wont be killed by ice jets or enemies
- Help spike by putting Ancestor's Rage on the tank and using your other skills or heal if you have restoration skills
- Follow the group and summon EoE colser to you to make sure the spike will kill everything
- Res only if theres a few people who died. If most of your team died, just wipe
Team Build Counters[]
- Incompetant tanks
- Incompetant spikes
- Aggro being diverted to the spikers
Notes[]
- As stated before, some groups can not be balled
- If you are not a tank and you get dazed, step back and lose the attention of enemies
- The Secret Lair of the Snowmen is the best way to farm Dwarf Reputation points as it gives 1000-1500 Dwarf reputation if you fully clear it
- This speed clear can completely clear The Secret Lair of the Snowmen in 8-12 minutes
