7K...i remember when i first started soling UW with my monk and necro and spent waaaaaay more than that....but yes it is frustrating.
When you sprint away from the aatxe(if you mean while dragging the graspers down the steps?) make sure you run to the back drop off.
If you dont run far enough away, sometimes they will come back for you.
This is what i do.
Cast EC,SV agro, sprint to back drop off, attack,(which then gives you adrenaline from EC,flail and by then usually need AV.
If you have a constant SV/AV then Graspers cant shout fear me, so that is where your problem lies.

Has this always happened, or has is just happened after the "temporary" nerf of SV/AV?
I run 9 Illusion which gives me a 15 sec cover which means as one is about to run out, the other is ready to go.
You can still kill all the Graspers with out any visages anyway and an icy hilt makes a big difference also.

Hope that helped

Has there been an anti-code farm put into UW and FOW now because back when I played they didn't have that for these 2 places? I am in the middle of a drought it seems 3 runs in a row tonight no ecto. Thanks for the basis of the build Sunday night I did 1 run and got 5 ecto .

ah it might have been that(i didnt read the changes forgot about the weekend) cuz i could only get up to 9 seconds i think it was and so i only had just enough time when one ended with the enchanting pommel.

I like this build but I am a sword warrior so I came up with a build when using a sword.

Skills:
Physical Resistance - 2 inspiration magic
Anscestors Visage
Sypathetic Visage - 10 illusion
Sprint - 6 or 7 strength, not sure
Healing Signet - 8 or 9 tatics, if you want extra healing
Bonetti's Defense - renews your energy for AV and SV (this is a must have)
(optional) I use either Galrath Slash or Final Thrust - 15 swordsmanship - 11+1+3
(optional) I use either Dragon Slash or Hundred Blades

Hardest part I find in both builds is running to the smites and taking a group of 7 or more smites. I do not reccomend that.

First of all, thanks to all these people willing to share builds.

I've read a lot about the builds but some of them require Nightfall in which I don't have. I also have a few questions. Would people suggest swords or axe now? And what would be the best build for someone with just Prop + Fact? Is Knight's armor really necessary when I already have Glads and Sentinels.

Thanks in advance.

regarding the armour i would say yes knights makes a big difference, it can still be done in glads or sentinels but you have to spend a bit more time healing and there is less room for error, it is well worth just buying a cheap set of 1.5k knights for this.

As for sword or axe i don't think it really matters, my euro warrior uses swords and my american warrior uses axes and i can't find much difference in the speed of the run,

Thanks for the bit of help, Darkstar. Now, I'm just wondering whether the build on the main page still works.

Ok, this build works awesome =D Thanks.

I just need to know more about those Coldfire patterns and I'm all set.

For all those who are wondering whether this run still works or not, I took this picture today.

The build on the main page still works. I only use watch yourself instead of 1 attack skill and whihrling axe as an elite. The with the grasps you only need watch yourself as defence (using defence axe) and i tank about 3 groups of smites at once (didn't manage to get 4 groups together before aggro breaks).
