Timer begins on first input and ends on boss kill for dungeons. Additionally, there are two timer pauses to mitigate hardware advantage/connection differences between players. One being after first encounter before the captain, and second being before Vorgeth drop down.

Not the best run but I really hope I don't have to run this dungeon back in the future.

FAQ
Q: Why does the run start at first encounter?
A: When the dungeon was first added, you could not reset the checkpoint. Since first encounter has all the rng in the run, this checkpoint became the standard start spot for runs submitted to speedrun.com.
Q: What's your build?
A: Aspects: heat rises, icarus dash. Fragments: ashes, torches, searing, eruption. 1st enc: 1-2 punch shotgun, trace, eager, winter's guile, melee kickstart, heavyhanded, hands on (other mods are preference). Transition: blinding gl, horseman, transversives. Vorgeth: same thing, but with rain of fire, shield break charge, arc surges. Boss: wardcliff, heritage, winter's guile, arc surges.
Q: Why do you shoot your trace randomly during first encounter?
A: It pulls the aggro from the ads so they don't spread out.
Q: How do you get your melee back so quickly?
A: Heat rises (airborne kills return melee energy), ember of searing (defeating scorched targets returns melee energy), melee kickstart (using the melee returns melee energy).
Q: How do you instantly reload your horseman?
A: Rain of fire exotic boots.
Q: Are you using the horseman bug?
A: No. That requires swapping between a slug and horseman, which I wasn't doing. It's also not allowed on runs submitted to SRC.
Q: How do you kill the knights at boss so quickly?
A: Same way as first encounter. Each stack of winter's guile provides increased melee damage, which the ignitions fall under. Since I ignite all 3 knights with 4 stacks of guile, there are 3 simultaneous 220% buffed ignitions.
Q: How does your Wardcliff do that much damage?
A: The boss is considered a vehicle so Wardcliff has a big multiplier against it. Additionally, I have a 93% damage increase from a combination of radiant, arc surges, riven's curses, and transcendent blessing.
