Make sure you just take 1 group at the time so maximum 3 coldfires. Also you should focus on just one

if u take on 1 group of coldfires at a time u can kill them fairly easy. It takes a bit longer then others tho.

What i do is VwK + occasional Vengeful weapon, and when VwK ends i use desperation blow till the bleeding triggers. The degen really helps alot to kill them

Give it a try. If you don't succeed at first then try again until you realize something.

this build is great. i use it myself and it takes about 15-20 minutes to completely clear out the smites. i've had gold perfect eternal bows drop, many ectos, black dyes... everything. it's reasonably fast as a smite-killing-machine but it's incredibly safe. the only trouble you'll ever have is from being rubber-banded by aatxes while running past them or by accidentaly aggroing coldfires. both situations can be avoided by watching patrols and not squeezing through gaps.

it's alot safer than the e/me sandstorm build i used to use. that build while twice as fast, relies on harsh amounts of skill timing and you are incredibly fragile. the new changes to sv/av have also made the run way riskier (not to mention the nightmares).

this build has no enchantments to rend, no huge recharge and casting skills to distract and fantastic surviveability. it's been very profitable for me and very enjoyable. i'd like to thank the OP for giving us a build that not only makes us rich, but deftly avoids the nerf bat time and time again

I've used this build for a couple of times. The only problem I see is when the smiters are in groups of more than 5.. I can tank them endlessly but they keep scattering.

Any suggestions? Is there a way to separate a group?

These are a pain, but you can almost always split them. I usually agro them and run (not sprint) back as far as they'll chase me. Then I try to agro the trailing smite and run back again. After a couple tries I'll get just one of the groups to follow.

My question: Is there always a group of charged drarkness hanging out in front of the gate to the chaos plains, or did I get a bad/broken spawn (or simply lost)?

This build is very easy and fast, so u can make 2-3 ectos per run easily.
But money is not my problem, i just wanna kill the bulls (btw, they drop ectos at 4% and smite only 2%)

I can easily kill bulls with Witte's build mixed with one of mine, but it requires
a second char (e henchie lol) and so its not solo, and i'm not happy

Let's think a fast build to kill'em


(not 55, i just hate the 55 system, it's like an hack and even a 5 years old kid can do it, too easy, too lamer)
