This build is designed to run almost anywhere in the Crystal Desert. I have used this build many times all over the desert, making tweaks and little touches to it. This may be the finished product.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Warrior/Ranger Strength=9+1 Tactics=11 Wilderness Survival=10][Troll Unguent][Healing Signet]["None Shall Pass!"] ["Shields Up!"][Endure Pain][Balanced Stance][Storm Chaser]["Charge!"][/build]

Equipment

 * Gladiator's armour
 * Any Max damage shield which gives health when in a Stance
 * Don't take any Major or Superior runes, and use Vigor runes to have plenty of health. it doesn't really matter if you only have a couple of health reducing runes.

Usage
General Skill Usage
 * Healing Signet and Troll Unguent are used in quiet spots to recover your health when you have outrun your enemies.
 * Storm Chaser is mainly used to run past enemies or from place to place. Add Charge if enemies are still around you, but don't use it from place to place since you may need it for Balanced Stance.
 * Balanced Stance is for protecting against knockdown.
 * None Shall Pass is for pursuing enemies.
 * Endure Pain is generally for emergencies

Enemies

 * When confronted by Hydras or Sand Elementals, use Balanced Stance combined with Charge. If Balanced Stance is recharging, you can often boost past the monsters and avoid thier knockdowns.
 * When confronted by Losaru use Shields Up! and Storm Chaser/Charge past them.
 * Scarabs and Devourers aren't too big a problem. Just avoid or run past them, and avoid Trap hot-spots. Parasitic bond shouldn't bother you too much but use a healing skill once you're away from them if you're concerned.
 * Minotaurs are easy to avoid and get away from using speed boosts.
 * Storm Kin are probably the most irritating since they cause -3 degen. Just run right past them and heal up once they're away.
 * Sand Wurms can be quite a shock to you but you can boost past them and generally they stop pursuing.
 * Dessort Griffons are known to pursue for a very long time. Sometimes you can boost away from them. If this fails use None Shall Pass!
 * Do not even speak the name of the Salving Cactus!!!!

Counters
None Shall Pass! is not very reliable.

Variants
You can use Sprint instead of Storm Chaser.
