Absorption rune is global...

...but the Insignia effects are tied to the armor piece. Here:

Since this build has no self-heal, how many groups of Graspings can you pull without dying? o_O

«Ripskin · Sep 24, 2007, 04:09 PM // 16:09

All of them.

Why don't you use Physical Resistance at the Graspings?

Trueslash Noobfoot · Sep 24, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

I do lawl, haven't tried it yet because I haven't been able to get on because of homework and stuff like that.

Jebus · Sep 24, 2007, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Aight, I've tried the build, but I got owned real fast at the smites ^.^

Off for my next run now.

It's a bit pointless as the Grasps dont do enough damage to make it worthwhile, also, Bonetti's cancels it.

can someone PLEASE explain me why (in the video) when he uses ancestor and sympathetic visage he is not taking any dmg at all?i mean there is no armor buff.just adren and e denial on adjacent foes.

ok to make this clear

To start run always pull with sprint, stop, charge up bonnetis , use it and visage (small chance of interupt - charge try again)

Icy dmg is best to graspings, but gains no energy unlsess combined with bonneti's = stance taken up so no physical resistance.

Use the icy weapon/bonnetis with visages

and if you go below say 200hp,

Use The zealous weapon/physical resistance with visages.

I use a -2/-2 Sheild so i never switch to zealous on graspings, but it is possible to do it without the zealous. aswell with a -2(stance) sheild.

Heh, figured it out while I was doing it. It's still hard to get all the graspings in one big group though, usually have to do it in 2-1.

Its not all that hard once you know what to do -

Activate quest
Run to right staircase (from point of view at very start)
Watch the graspings on the left go up the corner and the middle ones head over to where the left ones were.
As you watch the group on the top right will come down infront of you.
Just before the middle group reach where the left ones were you pull the right ones and then sprint down the stairs and go up the left stairs and pull the other 2 groups of graspings (the left ones would join with the middle ones on the stairs).
(its shown on my vid btw)

I dont take all credit of the build, there have been other versions, I just tested and tested, tried new tecniques and skill combo's untill i came back to thi s simple build =]

stilll thanks lol

farra · Sep 25, 2007, 11:42 AM // 11:42

it works bro.. weekend came.. and i spent maybe 5k and i got just under 20 ectos and the 5k i spent was made up with the drops from graspings nd the other smites that didnt drop ectos... got 3 ectos in one run... seems everytime i go in now i expect 1 ecto

truly is a good build and i agree i have seen other versions which are just outdated coz of nerfs... try create one that can solo aaxtes aswell as smites.. i got close but no cigar..

cheers

Aqualung · Sep 25, 2007, 02:04 PM // 14:04
