I don't know if you can do it with this build, but I've had success in the spider cave with the sliver armor variant. I don't do a full clear, because once you're down to one or two spiders it takes a long time for sliver to do its work, but you can kill several from the huge spawn up front.

If you're an assassin, you can only be from factions so you have to do the 2 attribute point quests in Shing Jea.

to prevent scattering just let shadow form run out 1nce, lowering your health to 53 and from then on keep the SF chain going, works for me (only in NM though)

i've had a few failed runs, but it doesn't matter as it only takes 3-4 mins to get to the Behemoths, i just charge on to the traps if it's blocked...

i've not actually payed for a run yet... i normally get 1-3 scrolls per run once i get to the planes...

anyone try a

5 sup runed sin with a -20hp focus = 85hp health sin?

given things don't run when you have <100hp, you should be good to go and won't have to deal with any kind of scattering.

i would try but i am at work atm.

Not a bad idea. I might try it tomorrow. Btw if you do so, you should have a running armor with high hp in case you set a trap or aggro a blackness.

I think earlier in this thread it was put forth that the low hp agro (I like to call it "blood agro") is calculated not by being below x hp but by being below x% of your max hp. I haven't tested that myself but it makes sense. Even if you're at 85 hp, your hp bar will be full at 85 hp and thus you wouldn't have "low health".

I finally got to try this run out last night. Didn't have a whole lot of success (and no I am not QQ'ing).

I seem to have some troubles with getting to the Plains. I sometimes get surrounded by the Bladed's and can't escape them. They hit me with deep wound and I bleed to death. Or the Graspings nail me when dying and take my energy.

When I am running to the plains I got hit with Shock from the Chargeds, they then surround me and trap me from moving. Also got nailed by traps a few times.

I finally made it to the plains on my 7th or 8th try and got to kill the Mindblades. Got ZERO ectos and only 1 gold LOL. Oh well, live and learn.

= you're not doing it right nancy.

Don't swing at the aatxe, they have deadly riposte. You just target them to throw on MoR, then step one step to stop swinging. If you keep attacking them =epic fail

Try not to get surrounded, use dash to run faster through tight areas and remember (from what i've experienced) that mobs try to intercept your path and bodyblock you. I usually run in a direction other than the opening then right before they get to me i take a hard turn

Do not hit them with melee weapons. Wand them if you really have to. Melee weapons trigger their [riposte] and [deadly riposte]

You have two options here:
One, if you use [phoenix]/[inferno] build the next spell that hits AFTER you;ve hit them TWICE with each dmg spell will give them enough adrenaline to drain you. Before casting that fifth spell, switch to a -energy longbow (i use that for pulling also). After the drain, switch back yo your high energy set
Two, and probably the easiest is to use the [Mark of rodgort]/[lava font] combo. They will never get enough adrenaline to use [fear me] (burning damage doesn't trigger adrenaline gain)

For traps find a straight line to get through and use dash. you won't trigger the traps. As for charged blacknesses, let the first group run up the mountain before you follow them and don't aggro them. Afterwards, if you don't stall too much you should be able to get ahead of the second patrol. if you still can't manage to do that, right before engaging the patrol (now) station at the entrance to plains, renew shadow form so you have time to maneuver in peace, and just run past them, using dash when you get almost in touch range to them, then keep running. they will lose aggro and even if you take a couple of [shock]s you will survive

Hope this helps

Kai

Thanks for the tips guys. Ya, I am a Nancy cause I was swinging away with my totem axe :P. I am in the noob learning stages for UW as I rarely ever go there. I didn't know the Charged's were patrolling. I will pay better attention to their movements now, thanks Kai.

BTW I love your Clown Gun avatar Puddin
