This is one of the more interesting Delve Farmer build threads I've come across... it melds together ideas I've seen in other threads.

I agree that Phase Run seems like a definite oversight from this build. Yes, Raider and the uniques give free Phasing, but the real boon from Phase Run is the increased movement speed. At level 20/20 you're getting 49% movespeed, and adding Enhance is an extra 4/8/12% movespeed, since Phase Run gains 1% movespeed every 2% quality.

I'm interested in seeing some hard numbers from you guys that have played with swapping from Daresso to QotF. Some say it's worth it, others disagree. How much extra investment are you guys making to try and make it work?

So I got bored yesterday and threw together another Raider in league for about 150c. Granted it's the end of league and everyone's doing their fire sales.

I leveled up as a Rain of Arrows/Herald of Agony until lvl64, and equipped everything, including new lvl 1 gems, minus the Devotos (lvl 67). I easily knocked off the first two labs to pick up Quartz Infusion and Veil of the Avatar. Next I ran some more Blood Aquaducts, and had a friend pull me through the third lab (only 2400 life and Izaro hit me like a truck attempting to solo). At 70 I easily finished off the story line minus Kitava (got help again at Kitava) with the new speed and autobomber running. By level 70 you have every major node in the tree minus life and damage nodes beyond Discipline and Training. 7% life and dual Fire and Lightning Res jewels should be equipped before mapping. In fact, you're autobombing with QoTF at 59, perma-Onslaught/Phase at 61, and cursing at 64. Not many build are complete so low.

I thought about adding Phase Run. Phasing from ascendancy lets you move unhindered, but you can still be seen and hit. Phase Run>Increased Duration>Efficacy in the Dreadbeak is 100% uptime at the cost of Frenzy charges. That's a 12% damage loss for 3 Frenzy charges on a build that works hard to make any damage at all. You would also have to move CWDT>Immortal Call>Shock Nova>Frost Bomb in Devoto's and sacrifice your freeze and shock - which triggers heralds - for 50% more move speed.

I'm not quite sold on the idea. Move speed above 160% makes Abberath's trigger less often (simply read the wiki), which requires more damage and area of effect to clear mobs. Both of which a traditional autobomber does very well, but is slower than this build. A Pathfinder will be faster than a Raider, but will be the worst autobomber ever. So there is a balance to achieve.

What I may end up doing is simply put a 20/23 Phase Run in the chest as an "oh shit! Move!" option. It'll eat the Frenzy charges in exchange for a fast break. Currently I use my Quicksilver for that, but being able to double dip might prove useful.
