I don't get it. There is this 1 Aatxe that will not leave me alone. I can't break aggro with it, even with my speed buff, and the above advice for aggroing graspings.

It just won't work.

How do you deal with the grasps?

Count Caspian · May 01, 2007, 03:58 PM // 15:58

Looks nice, I'll try it. Screenshots look cool. Can you post the template code?

I tested both the E/Me and this build. The E/Me is faster but it requires that you pay very close attention to the graspings. You have to know when they have all used their interrupt before you go casting because in the E/Me SS build you don't have Glyph of concentration. So I'd say for inexperienced players this is probably the build to use. It is still somewhat maintenance intensive but not as maintenance intensive as the E/Me earth nuker.

I love the build. it works great. I can get past the grasps and to the smites but I always accidentally aggro the coldfires. Im kinda new to UW farming so I havnt memorized the smite locations and the colfire potrol areas

. Cud someone like post a map of the area with the coldfire danger areas and the smite spote marked? I wanna make the most from these runs.

I find a very good (and cheaper) way to test the killing power of a build for the UW is to try it on the Minotaurs right outside of anvil rock on hard mode. If it will kill them, it will definitely kill graspings/smites in one attempt.

For instance, this build doesn't kill them (in one shot)......but it does come extremely close. They have far more health and armor than smites or graspings, deal *slightly* more damage, and have significant self healing, so even "getting close" is more than good enough. If anyone knows a better, faster, more comparable way to test without spending 1k, i'm all ears.

The build works. I ran it today and got 4 ectos. The set of skills that is listed on page one and the attributes listed are perfect. I havent had any problems with the grasps, nightmares, or the aatxes. Great build. Love it!

babochabo · Feb 19, 2008, 04:11 AM // 04:11

just wondering how do u get pass the dying nightmare incase one pops up?

I've got an elem same build E/Mo Savannah. I've followed the video the point and time and time again I'm wiped almost a few moments into U.W. I don't know if it's a bug or theres some bug in U.W. but I'm starting to get real pist at continually wasting money and not being able to do this, which I really need because I never have the amount of money I need and I just find it difficult to make much if any.

I can't say if it's a bug though last few trips in. The normally walking aataxes stayed with the two groups near stairways and would aggro like crazy. Now my problem is when I go and grab the grasps they bring in aataxes and they won't break off. I find it funny in the video same thing happens and yet Holly would break it off. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm kinda wondering if it's me or if it's something with U.W. sometimes I succeed but theres ALWAYS, ALWAYS one that comes in and he brings with him the whole group.

I would like to ask if anyones ever tried a bow pull on the graspings? cause I'm thinking of it but worried I'd aggro the aataxes.

BoredJoe · Feb 25, 2008, 01:53 PM // 13:53

I started using the build last week and had trouble with the grasps, so I take two monk heros and a SS hero (with enfeeble, insidiuos, vocal minority). Flag them in the corner fartherest away and do as in the video.

Always have flame djinn on when approaching any aaxte as the ones in a fixed spot won't follow. If the wandering one follows you then go back to the spot with the heroes and you can deal with it there.

After it's done, leave the heroes flagged there and go and solo the smites. Nice build, though I don't think armour of earth is needed to solo the smites.

I'm having problems with this build.

The graspings always take me down to about 160hp from about 411. Sometimes the nuke doesn't kill them all too. I'm using the exact build, and optimal equipment.

Also, I just can't run to the smites. I tried 8 times and I got past the first 2 cows, but then I just can't get past the 3rd group right before the smites. They always trap me and take me down even with flame djinn's on..

Really frustrated

I've noticed that the aataxe patrols constantly change. Like they're messing with me.. sometimes the 3rd aataxe on the right stays on top of the stairs, sometimes in the middle, but sometimes it goes up and down. It's weird.. I don't know how people do this so easily. Also with any lag, you're pretty much dead. I lagged a bunch of times trying to get by the first 2 aataxes and bam.

dubiel005 · Mar 01, 2008, 07:42 PM // 19:42

lol wow this made me remember free uw fow access weekend along time ago. i ran this build and got something like 70 ectos tht weekend.

Kurt · Mar 01, 2008, 08:59 PM // 20:59

This still works but took me damn long to get along with it. Tried untill I managed to kill smites, but then I kinda stoped. I find it more fun and easier 55/SS

Firstly I want you to noticed when this build was posted... OVER A YEAR AGO.

Second, the skills that he's using got nerfed during many patches (FDH, Stoneflesh, etc...).

Renowned Spartan · Sep 10, 2008, 09:42 PM // 21:42

It still works tardball.
