Pure insanity.  I can't believe that mini dodge saved me from packmaster on the stairs.  Speaking of which, does anyone have a spot to fall down those stairs that saves you the fall damage?  
  
Obviously you want a speed pot before you leave the elevator room.  From there it is just pure kite to mid tower (avail yourself of dropping down to stairs on the right and, in the tower, go to your left then jump over the gap if the spawns are heavy).  You want to pop your speed pot (when you go to drink pot be sure to keep side dodging) immediately thereafter to gain space to loot the top area generally, hoping to double up there or at the chest.  Obviously I failed a bit here and got forced to hop down and lost a few seconds.  From chest to dropdown it is pure kite.  If the patrol spawns close use the left ledge and jump around them, if they spawn far then jump up the statue up to the barrel area, duck jump under the right flagpole then duckjump under the next one as well).    
  
Inside the tower, be sure to exploit the ladder by the 2nd chain (first one I go to), the rats are slow to catch you there.  Killing chain 3 fast (i.e. use pot) is important.  I tried several other rotations but this is the best imo as backtracking from the chain i did first to the chain I did third is horrible.  When you come up to chains, be sure to keep both the SV in your FOV, then rock side to side to bait hits and dodge them while killing chain.  Lastly, pots tend to spawn next to the box by chain 1, on the table after chain 2, the supply room between chain 2 and 3 and the chest on the way out from chain 3.  
  
On mechanics, some notes.  Side dodge or side dodge jump are both efficient speed wise--side dodge is a bit faster dodge jump gives you time to look up and fire off a quick arrow.  Taking kiting to the next level is a product of dodging where your instincts tell you to push.
