Yeah, Arans main abilities that make them better are damage reduction and forcing longer KB (I think buccs can do this too? Just how I heard it described anyway)
In this video, the guy filming got to 100+ combos 4 times - twice on the arms, once each on 2nd and 3rd body. So when does the aegis shield get cast?
I don't know if the spawn time for bodies makes it impossible to keep up combo between bodies, but maybe you could do something with the ice mobs - depends if ice immunity translates to Aran doing 1 damage repeatedly. And having 3 seconds to recover your combo should be enough to handle all curable status effects, the only thing that'll kill it is stun (do Aran have any invincibility they can exploit to miss these?)
Keeping the combo up for a lot longer should help the run time, I don't know how big the DPS change is from 0 to 100 combo but it's some significant crit increase.
And so many people dying makes it kinda obvious that this is not the best a speed run of Aran could go. It just gives an upper boundary (5 minutes or better) which considering the ~2 minutes with Demon Elixirs in global is pretty good.
