illusion of weakness is bad for this run, cyclone you need to keep adrenaline up.

vamp axe is possible to use, but only for grasps, and i wouldn't even bother. at the point where you need the health, you are better off using zealous axe and physical resistance.

and when you pull grasps and get the 2nd + 3rd groups, run past the center of the circle a bit, and then back to a bit out of aggro from where you pulled them. its a bit hard to explain, but if you stay in enraging and run almost to the spirits, you can stay away from attaxe every time. then you have to run back almost to the stairs so you don't lose a group of graspings. then age-old combo to kill them off.

No, thanks for asking. I've only trapped them, and that was around 2-3 years ago. I just bought GW again after a 2 year break.

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it.

GJ on the 1min, you'll get alot more of them from now on

i totally fail at this how much health do you have?
it takes me 4 min to clear the chamber then when i hit the smites i get pwned even after i left them lose all there e wtf am i doing wrong >.<

mr_groovy · Nov 14, 2007, 10:39 AM // 10:39

got 5 globs in total yesterday. Tanking 5 groups is fun again. Still don't know if the loot is better or worse then E/Me build.

Hullo_0 · Nov 14, 2007, 12:22 PM // 12:22

with the -2/+45 shield i can only take 1 or 2 groups of graspings, slowing the run significantly.

Is it possible to take all 3 groups wth this shield?

xxx wraith xxx · Nov 14, 2007, 03:38 PM // 15:38

i did this build for a while and then i did some other things. Came back to farming UW last monday again and....2 hours of playing got me 10 ectos but yesterday after 3 hours of farming i got only 4 ><

the next info is to make pulling easier for those who dont know if they should pull extra groups yes or no
number of smites when you have a -2/45 shield: min:5 and max 12
number of smites when you have a -2/-2 shield: min:4 and max 24 (more or less)

blackknight1337 · Nov 14, 2007, 06:08 PM // 18:08

wraith i have never had a problem with having too many smites pulled, and i just use a -2/45, never had a -2/-2

i've gotten one group of 18-20 once, the key is ball them up before they start hitting on you, then quickly chain attacks + visages, the energy drain is incredible, and you can kill them off in 15 sec flat

if you run properly, you will have more trouble with cannibal smites than with pulling too many, reguardless of the shield you use

good running day for me, got 3 ectos after the first 2 runs

Ugoff The Unholy · Nov 15, 2007, 03:43 AM // 03:43

I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. I can clear almost all the smites except 1 group of 3-4, they're always right in the middle of those 3 Coldfire patrols in the "second" half of the area, I guess you could say.

Got my first ecto drop today, too.

I think the real key is getting the right equipment. I failed so miserably before mostly due to having no Knight's Insignias or the like.

possible.. but risky and too energy costly, i wouldnt advise it

This might be my weird idea, but what if you put Drunken Master?
Is it gonna push back Aatex?

its a good idea... but yeah but it would prob cause you to die XD

I'm getting the lamest rubberbands ever...

Usually when I'd get them, I'd be running and shortly warp back to where I started.

Now, in UW, I might lag a little and get body blocked by a mob but on screen it shows me running safely away. I'll be half a radar away with damage counters popping up all over and the mob attacking the air way back. I have to physically RUN back to them to reaggro and stop the weird "rubberband". Insta-death when it happens with Aataxe.

Just type /stuck and it will take you back to where you are supposed to be.

Don't feel no pain- is there any way I can run this build or a build similar to it if I only own the original Prophecies campaign and do not have access to some of those skills? Thanks!
