I'm not that limited with energy, and yes you can pass traps with flame djins but ocasionally i get hit by 1 or 2 traps.


i aggrod blacknesses here which costed me time and i messed up the balling of dreamriders at the statue. Tomorrow ill do another run and try to get it faster.

Ecto drops even out over time, I've had anywhere between 1 and 9 ectos per run.

from time to time obsidian behemoths block youre path, you can try to find another way but sometimes all you can do is /resign.

aggro all grasps in the start, spam youre fire nuke skills excessive. Watch out for the fear me spike when grasps reach 30% ish hp.

aggro 4 dreamriders first, then 3 and then the last 2, make them ball up quickly, thats where you will lose the most time.

i don't know how you spam your nukes, but i can't really do it @ 56 energy. Starting with full energy its [Shadow Form] up, [fire attunement] [GoLE] [Phoenix] [inferno] x 2 then wait for [GoLE] to recharge so i can continue with the above chain. Anything else just gives me energy problems in the long run. Takes me 30 mins.

Just Wondering can someone please take a screenie of their mini map after they reach the chaos plains? because i always take a wrong turn and get WTFPWND.

Edit: nevermind i found my way like a lost dog, to proceed to get 5 ectos and a white dye.

Alot more clever to do Gole before fire attunement, get more energy back that way.

Ive started to use [Flame Djinn's Haste] instead of [Dash], you can get over traps almost as often as with dash, and the damage/speed boost is rather nice. Had plenty of 20 min runs with poor aggros and stuff.
And just to say, my best run ecto wise was 9 ectos in one run

rofl @ MrSlayer. If i were you i wouldn't let him get away with it

Edit: looks like practice makes perfect. 25 min runs. time to try [Flame Djinns Haste] instead of [dash]

It varies. I went solo one run and got 7 ectos just from killing roaming Aatxes and Dryders and doing Unwelcome Guests and Escort the Souls. Then a guildie and I went in another time and went straight to the Chaos Plains and cleared that and the Bone Pits, and not one ecto dropped for either of us. Your mileage definitely varies...

SF has got to be a broken skill now. Sure looks/sounds more effective than the ele build for plains clearing. I wonder if a bunch of these sins running around in UW can actually clear it.

cleared bone pits with this build too, but it's totally not time/ectos efficient

you can easily bunch the first driders perfectly using the left corner of the gate to pools, one minute for 8 more chances to drop ectos, sounds fair to me

PS : got 11 ectos clearing plains + driders + pits
