It may be possible but would be difficult and not really worth your time.

you can tank it solo. but attempting to kill anything really isn't worth the time or effort.

Better to run a 55 tank, and bring a friend with SS and visages. That can clear chamber and smites. Dunno bout much else.

I think you can still do solo smite runs as well. I'd think think the Sliver Armor build would work best for that since you can still use SB as your elite then.

Some old builds that should still work (very very slowly). Might even work better with some PvE skills thrown in there.

People who don't suck at life can get past dyings by either running behind benton, popping some nightmares before they aggro, and if they are stripped, wait for them to be stripped, dying dies, PS->HB->Mending till interrupts are used->Essence Bond->Balthazars spirit

So yes, they do still work

thats unreliable. it might work on occasion, but it;s going to end up wasting you a bunch of time and money.

Rend doesn't matter. You'll lose all your enchants, but you just refresh PS and wand them. Practice is key. "Bad" spawns where you get 2 or more Nightmares will still kill you, which is why other builds are favored.

It's not. If you suck, maybe, but when you figure out what you're doing, it's fine. You can even survive double nightmare spawns if you're careful.

In NM, the first nightmare would kill themselves on your enchantments. Right after he does, throw up a fast (not [[Protective Spirit]) enchantment, let the other rend that, then throw up PS and wand him.

Hell, with some good strafe dodging, and enough room, you could probably survive a triple nightmare spawn.

These methods work fine, because anyone who has a W key can bodyblock aatxes on Benton.

All that being said, 600/smite and 55/ss still kicks solo 55's ass.

you can 600 solo in UW, but 55/ss and 600/smite works best.
for 55 you should stay hydra farming, works good to, and very easy
