Hive in the Tower

[@Vitomazzarino]

Is this the most dangerous "special ops" section of the run? At what point does routing a grind in the winterspring yeti cave become a better idea, especially considering this risks death at level 59?

It's not that dangerous to be honest - I certainly did far more dangerous things earlier on. I choose to do the quest because it's faster than grinding and I think I'll always be able to escape if things go really bad. On the other hand, I skip a quest like Deathclasp because I can randomly die during his stun with no way of controlling it.

@@KamisayoWoW What were the actual most dangerous quests/moments that you routed in?

[@KamisayoWoW]

@@Vitomazzarino The closest calls I had were while soloing Shadowfang Keep and Zul'Farrak, but those were all due to inexperience or taking unnecessary risks. There's no doubt that the highest risks in my route come from the possibility of a Vanish breaking inside a dungeon in a spot where you have no escape. This comment may come back to haunt me if I end up dying on my next speedrun, but once you get Vanish at level 22, I really don't think there's any of the open world quests in my route that a rogue should die to.
