Speed clear

The term speed clear is used in PvE to refer to a specialized team build which can quickly complete an area. Speed clear builds are categorized into two main types: those which give item rewards upon completion and those which give faction reward. Sought after items include rare crafting materials, rare weapons and rare trophies such as gemstones.

Common speed clear tactics include splitting the team to do many tasks simultaneously, spiking large groups of foes with AoE damage and skipping foes which do not need to be killed to continue (item-reward only). Consumable sets and BUs are used in many of these teams.

 * Drazach Thicket speed clear (DTSC or DSC) for Kurzick faction.
 * Morostav Trail speed clear (MTSC) for Kurzick Faction.
