I'm new to UW farming. Can someone send me a great A/E build to farm aatxe/smites/grasps and more? Thanks

BTW PVXWIKI, I dont like the build on there.

I need a serious health degeneration build.

thanks!

I think you're kind of stuck with the PvxWiki build for A/E as the SF nerf has limited the options for dmg.

If you are trying to solo you almost have to make a choice.

The PvxWiki build with burning speed works well vs the grasping darknesses and the chaos plains riders and mindblades (I believe it also works well in the bone pits) but is extremely slow killing aatxes.

If you really want to kill aatxes the A/E earth sliver dmg build still does a nice job on them (I tried it out right after the nerf) but triples the time it takes to kill on the chaos plains - which is your best source of ectos. (frankly, i would not choose this option cause the aatxes don't drop nearly as many ectos as the minblades)

I have never done the smites solo so I can't tell you what build would work best for them.

The A/E dagger builds are pretty much useless now as far as I can tell.

There are some A/Me perma builds out there but the 2 I tried were really slow. You might look around for better one though if you are willing to go /Me

I'm afraid what it comes down to is if you want the fastest build for farming ectos, the burning speed build on PvXwiki is pretty much the only game in town.
