This build will kill every group of smites and graspings you pull in a few seconds. I beleive its safer and ive never had a smite get away from me.

Meteor Shower
Savannah Heat
Bed of Coals
Flame Djinn's Haste
Stoneflesh Aura
Glyph of Concentration
Armor of Earth>(only used for smites)
Balthazar's Spirit

Attributes:
16 Fire
13 Earth
5 Energy Storage

Runes: Superior Fire magic, Superior/Major Vigor, Major Energy Storage and a Minor Earth

Armor:
All most any armor will do the trick. Tempest, Pyromancer's or Geomancer's would probly be your best bet.

Weapon:
Any earth staff of enchanting 20% will work or a totem axe earth scroll will work also. Ive never tryed useing a fire staff.

Useage:
Precast Balthazar's Spirit and walk up and get the quest from the Lost Soul. If a nightmare pops up let him strip off Balthazar's then cast Flame Djinn's Haste to get away from them safely. But if this happens remimber to recast Balthazar's Spirit on yourself before entering battle.

Then cast in this order Flame Djinn's Haste>Stoneflesh Aura>Glyph of Concentration. Then quickly grab one or 2 groups of graspings and run back. Then cast in this order Meteor Shower>Savannah Heat>Bed of Coals>Flame Djinn's Haste and BOOM there all dead. No survivors. If you pulled 2 groups you will most likely have verry little energy left due to them useing Fear me. But thats ok cause there all dead. Right?

Then when there all dead, do your typical run to the smites.

Now for the fun part. Smites (walking ecto) I recommend you to pull large groups of smites with this build due to the 60 second recharge on Meteor Shower. But im Rarly ever waiting for Meteor Shower to recharge anyway. Just Maintain Stoneflesh Aura and Armor of Earth to take all damage to 0 and maintain Balthazar's Spirit for energy and use Meteor Shower>Savannah Heat>Bed of Coals>Flame Djinn's Haste to kill all smites in 1 shot just like the graspings.

Videos:
Total run time 15 min. But I could have shaved off a few minutes from that run because I got striped and got some typical UW lag. Got 2 ecto tho

Commonly asked questions:
Q. Why did you make a new uw solo? the E/Me build works fine
A. Cause that build took a pretty big hit from the last nerf with the sv and av and Sandstorm. I think its not as safe as it used to be and i got fed up with smites geting away all the time.

Q. Why not use E/Me with Stone Striker and Mantra of Earth?
A. By useing Balthazar's Spirit for energy insted of Stone Striker and Mantra of Earth i dont have to put any points in to Inspiration Magic there for being able to use more fire power.

This might look nasty but here are some pictures of this build in action.

Anyone for some BAR B Q smites? Ill bring the Beer

surely the 60 seconds between each ms will be quite difficult to deal with? and make it slower?

I dont have any problems with the 60 sec recharge. Just pull big, most of the time in between groups of smites your waiting for the coldfires to pass anyways and by the time you have the next group agroed it should be recharged or allmost recharged.

Anyways it for shoure kills all the smites you have agroed in 1 shot, if done right and theres no need to pin them or anything like that. So its not like you need to spam Meteor Shower.

Hey i just tried this but i did a E/Me

I switched Armor of earth with Stone Striker

I switched Balthazar's spirit with Mantra of earth.

Why? because Mantra of earth gives you +2 energy and Balthazar's spirit only gives you 1 energy. And with Stone striker combined with stoneflesh aura, you still take 0 Dmg.

^^

Edit: You mentioned that you tested this build with the Mantra of earth+Stone striker, i read it. So whats the problem still? Screw balthazar's spirit. Mantra of earth lasts for 30 seconds and still gives 2 energy without putting in Inspiration points.

Seems this build is better than E/me atm, i die alot with the 1 sec rips..

Hope they dont strip me when im running^^.

1Q: At the grasps u use conc glyph on MS and after that they dont interupt anymore?

No you use Glyph before you agro them.
Flame Djinn's Haste>Stoneflesh Aura>Glyph of Concentration. Then quickly grab one or 2 groups of graspings and run back.

Ive killed a few of um but there still a pain but i realized that its alot ezer to get away from the colds with this build cause the extra armor armor of earth gives you. If you accidentally agro them

A. You don't need any points in inspiration magic with e/me to give you energy, if you do the mantra only lasts longer. the damage reduction mantra gives isn't needed if you have stoneflesh (@ 16 earth that is).

Other than that I might try this sometime this weekend, to see what's faster

I've never encountered any problems with the e/me but I might give this a shot.
Too bad MS has a long recharge though...

No the smites still do damage with only 13 in earth, not much but a little and i dont like haveing 5 things to cast to go agro the Graspings and Armor of earth helps if you accidentally agro the coldfires.

Arkantos · Mar 23, 2007, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Looks really nice, but I'd rather stick to the E/Me with SS EQ and AS. The 60s recharge on MS makes this run alot slower.

Milan-V · Mar 23, 2007, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Looks mean!

dark_slayer · Mar 23, 2007, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Well its up to you want you want to use E/Mo E/Me but personaly ill be useing my build cause I tend to do big pulls and I think my build is faster and safer.

Dmevi · Mar 23, 2007, 07:18 PM // 19:18

how long does a avarage run take?

dark_slayer · Mar 23, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Same as the old sandstorm build for me.
