No for me... I get about 1-3 EVERY run.... but I "trick" the anti-farm code.

I noticed ectos drop more frequently in chaos plains.

There's absolutely no need to echo SV. Simply make sure it's set on 17 seconds (11 attribute). When monk gets FULL smite aggro, and not all but one that's coming slower from the back...full aggro, cast SV on him. Wait approximately 6 seconds, (for me it's when my SV is 1/4th recharged) while you are counting/waiting, you cast echo. This gives SV time to actually work and remove and degen the smite energy rendering them unable to smite hex. After 6 seconds, cast the SS, switch target, cast the echo SS. Then cast Desecrate. Done. Dead.

I go with a pretty awesome 55er, he can aggro around 8-10 smites and 3 colds at once, and not drop below 75% life. Or even die, for that matter.

I cast SV then Echo SS. They seem to die pretty fast to me. Just after SV runs out I just dont get why its needed to echo sv. If they arent dead before sv ends the first time or just after it ends then your timing needs work

Pre aggro atb let energy fill. After every smite has aggrod fully. SV. Wait 3 seconds. Echo SS. Oppostite of group ss. They should die in under 15-18 seconds. If you want to be on the safe side you can cover hex. Anything near 3 minutes per smite group would annoy the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO out of me.
