Well I dont see what they can nerf, its a very basic build and the visages have already had a hard hit from the nerf bat, and also this isnt very dangerous or bottable so i doubt anything will happen.... but as for VWK i fear we may lose that one eventualy

Psycho... Mad props to you

So far 25 runs 35 ectos later not including some sweet gold eternal bows and shields. Well worth my time to farm these. Having never farmed the UW with a warrior only ranger with a trapping group, this by far is the easiest way. I'm still averaging about 13-16 mins a run. My best run so far was 3 ectos and 1 gold eternal shield req 10.

Now only if this can be done in hm

do you really need that icy prefix? or will generally any good axe/sword do?

im eager to try this out, heard some positive feedback on it.

The icy weapon basically gives you some extra damage against the Graspings as it bypasses their +20 AL against physical damage by doing elemental damage instead.

It CAN be done with a normal axe, but slightly slower.

trade triple chop for echo if you're good at pulling. Far more efficient when combo'ed with whirlwind attack. Plus you can spam cyclone axe quicker anyways.

Sounds Good To Me

Also Combine It with Cyclone Axe Instead of WhrilWind as you need cyclone axe or triple chop to charge whirlwind as it cannot charge itself.

But Alas, i shall keep the OP the same.... dont want to confuse some warriors

Yeah if you have high enough points in Inspiration you shouldn't take ANY damage from the Graspings.

If you wanted you could hack away at them 1 by 1 only refreshing your physical resistance, but that'd take a while.

It's a lot easier if you aggro them all at once and just spam your AoE attacks

just got the armor and weapons for htis and have been trying it... i'm doing something wrong because almost every time an aatxe or 2 follows me down.
Or i cant seem to pull all the graspings.

I'm wondering if theres a nice W/Me that runs this that can take me with them, so i can die and just watch once or twice? I'll pay for entries.

Very nice run friend

While im looking for a -2/-2 shield, I've been wondering. What type of damage do the Smite Crawlers REALLY do when they hit you? Their sharp legs would suggest Piercing, but it could very well Slashing or Blunt.

Reason why im trying to find out is, while I dont have a -2/-2 shield yet, I have TONS of +10AR vs X shield inscriptions and I've been very intrigued.

Anyone done some testing?

my -2/-2 sheild is req 10 tower Sheild

I often run victo's bulwak because it looks cooler and has +30hp so yeah -2-2 is not required
