i saw this build on many sites and on youtube

((search for "UW e/me solo smite run after "nerf"))......or something like that

The Build

Attributes:
9 Illusion Magic
8 Inspiration Magic
3 Air Magic
16 Earth Magic
5 Energy Storage

The skills:
1-Sandstorm (Deals 31 damage, 31 exta damage to attacking foes)
2-Arcane Echo (for Sandstorm of course)
3-Storm Djinn's Haste (13 seconds)
4-Sympathetic Visage (8 seconds)
5-Ancestor's Visage (8 seconds)
6-Stoneflesh aura (16 seconds, reduces damage by 33)
7-Stone Striker (32 seconds)
8-Mantra of Earth (62 seconds, 39% damage reduction)

so i tried this build but i got about 3-5 major problems.

Aggro control 1: sometimes i kept holding the aggro of one or more Aatxes when they should've lost their aggro.

Aggro control 2: i dont know the patrol route of Coldfire Nights in ice wastes so i got them aggroed like 4 times, and of course i died!!!!.

Body Blocking: i just couldnt get hold of body blocking of smites, i didnt know where to trap them or how.

Major problem: before getting to the ice wastes i have to problem of getting past Aatxes after that gate at the east gets opened "after i kill Grasping Darknesses" so they usually kill me.

P.S: I've watched this video over and over again and i tried to find out what am i doing wrong and how do i fix it, i've run bankrupt aftr several failed attempts, except the last attempt where a guildie got his 600 smite to help me with coldfires, but this build is a olo smite run so i gotta learn it on my own.

Plz give me any tips or how Grasping Darknesses, Coldfire Nights, Smite Crawlers and Aaxtes AI works, and where Dying Nightmare r most likely to popup.

Thanks very much for helping :P

1: Aataxes will sometimes hold, use a speed buff and run the hell away

2: You need to learn the paths,just something you need to get a feel for

Body Blocks: Same as the routes, just gotta learn the techniques/spots

As for getting past the attaxes, try luring them to you and then quick going around, again with a speed boost.

Dying nightmares pretty much have random pop-ups - when it shows up and there is another monster in its aggro bubble, that monster will get aggro'ed as well. There often a nightmare hidden near the stationary aatxes near the stairs, in the very first "room" you spawn in. Thus the aatxe can get aggroed when you take the quest from the ghost for example. If the aggroed aatxe is one of the 2 moving patrols, it will chase you for a bit longer - safest bet is to run as far back as possible, hugging the edge of the terrain, reaching the stairs opposite of the aggroed aatxe.

Bodyblocks are always bad, you just have to make sure there is enough room between the monsters/terrain for you to go thru - if you doubt there is, just run around them, a bit longer but safer ;X.

For the blocking spots, I really hope someone digs up the map of those, there was a very nice guide a looong time ago. If not, whisp me when I'm on and I will show ya

It takes time to get used to
