Hmm.. Gotta try that.. I just ran in and Body aggroed em.. If it do work it could be alot better becouse it aint really easy with interupts and E surges that drain energy x.x..

Edit: It seems that they move into spellcast range, even tho they was at higher ground than me.. Also even if it works it would be impossible to get past the Dyders and Dream riders anyway..

Edit2: Whats the Max Number of smiters any1 has soloed in one Group so far with this build ^^ ?
Mine is 13..

>_>

you sure you cant do more? or is that the most you can agro at a time? cus judging the build, it seems this build has the same limit of enemies to take as the 605 monk, unless im mistaken, but i havent tried the build yet

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 28, 2006, 07:10 PM // 19:10

It can pretty much tank infinet number.. The problem is Aggroing them.. becouse You can only tank em for 30 sec, means you pretty much need to Cast A echo, Aggro in 20 sec and then cast VwK.. If you cast arcane echo after aggroing 10+ smiters, then there is a great chance they will rape you before you cast Echo + VwK..
And my New record is 14

... I just tried 3 times.. First time was ok, spawns were where they should be, only I had a bit of bad luck at the second group when I pressed the wrong button.. Anyway, the 2 other tries: first -> 2 bullthingies behind the door, instantly aggroing me when the door opens, running fails because the bullthingy on the stairs aggros as well... Second -> the 2nd group of graspings spawned in the back, patrolling between the position where the first group was, and the position where the third group is.. Aggroing them to come to the startingarea fails because once they reach the stairs, they return..

Am I just having bad luck, or did they nerf this farm? :/

Edit: 7 runs (read 7k wasted): 1 good run, but RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up myself, 1 RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up aaxtes spawn, 5 RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up spawns of the 2nd group of graspings -_-

Also, the graspings keep interrupting me even if i let visage work its magic for 4-5 seconds.. The minute I start casting Arcane Echo -> interrupts.. With a bit of bad luck, they even interrupt my Vengeful was thing -_-

Are you sure you cast AV/SV on yourself not the guy you took quest from?
Typically, I don't have problem with graspings at all if the aggro went ok. Every now and then I made mistake casting AV/SV on the ghost or nightmare strips Illusion of Haste and SV.

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 30, 2006, 06:54 PM // 18:54

This is indeed the best Solo UW build i have ever used..

18 Smiters Soloed in 30 sec from i start dmging em..

So far i havent herd any1 do that better solo.. Only other char i can imagen take that many at 1 time is a Spirit bond Monk, But i dont think he can kill em in 30 sec.. o.o

And to the ones wondering if i died then:

Ofc not ^^
No ectos tho =/

But i did beat my own personal Record..

Myes, those nightmares popup a lot and tend to **** up my run almost every time.. Even when I just go and take the quest, far far away from the aaxtes, one shows up and adds some aatxes that attack you no matetr what (even hasting away to some corner of the starting area doesn't work, they'll keep following you..)

Any way to counter these nightmares :/ I'm pretty sure they're the ones raping me all the time

Zerimar · Sep 01, 2006, 09:47 PM // 21:47

Kinda hard to believe the nightmares are the ones raping you. Unless they rend echantments while your echo is up,screwing your 3vwk. I have never had problem with nightmares poping while i take the quest. What could be happening is your aggroing aatxe by mistake. Just wait for that one patrol to move all the way to the left side.

Have to aggre this is the best source of imcome. SHHH. Dont tell anyone else.

I was having the same prob, gate opens aaxte charged at me

o well what i did was wait for those graspings to move down towards starting area, they r the first group i take usually , provided they're not stuck behind some aaxte.

remember this the first skill grasping use is ALWAYS distrcting blow.
even if u let visage for 4~5 secs, one grasping tht reaches u at the 6th seconds will still able to distracting blow you.
My advice: wait for EVERY graspings you've aggroed hit the first strike b4 casting arcane echo.

Thats not always true. When I'm doing my 3 man forgemaster thing <--(yay free advert), and we're clearing the spider cave, the spiders will often use healing spring even with the Spirit Bond monk standing adjacent to them AND hacking at them with the totem axe. Which isn't the case for warrior solo of the cave. I think there's more maths than just enemy distances for whether enemies use traps.

On topic: Kickass build/idea, Ima thinking I'll give it a shot, when theres nobody on to HA with me ¬_¬

cane abel · Sep 02, 2006, 04:01 AM // 04:01

i am noticing a definite decline in ecto drops the more i do this run. first completed run i got 3 ecto, 2nd run i got 1 and same on the third. all other runs i have completed after these 3 have yielded Absolutley no ecto......hmmmm....anyone else noticing this or am i just in a ecto slump?

Dahnel · Sep 03, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

Luck of the draw i guess ..i get 2 ecto a run on average, That said i only do it around once every couple of days

Zerimar · Sep 04, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

Yep, my ecto drops are fine. I get about 2-3 a run, but i only do this on weekends.

nani80 · Sep 05, 2006, 07:13 PM // 19:13

If anyone have a problem with coldfires, replace shooting Memories with Elemental Resistance its much easyer.

Thanks Dahnel for this fantastic build

Shadow-Hunter · Sep 05, 2006, 07:46 PM // 19:46

With Some practise Coldfires should get fairly easy... I kill groups of 2 with just VwK, Aecho, Vengeful weapon.. Groups of 3 is a little harder cus i dont use Soothing Memorys.. But 2 coldfires go down easy with the above 3 skills + WASD out of malestorm..

Hmm, working quite well now, but still having problems taking the last group of graspings if one is stuck behind an aaxte at the bottom end of the stairs.. if I haste paste the 2 static aaxtes, the aaxte blocking the grasping charges at me and he keeps following since haste has stopped and there isn't enough room for me to run (to the gate)..

Anyone have an idea hwo to take that last grasping?

Well.. You should be safe by the doors and still have enough room to kite away from the Aatxe on the step (the one usually blocking the last grasping) if you agro by walking into range instead of wanding (since this gives you more distance to run back to the door).
