if im awake (read: not 4 AM) the only groups that rend me are dual spawns, and i Never get killed by them

just because you cant, doesnt mean its hard

You run then recast PS, or time your PS such that it goes up after you get rended? Just curious on method.

SluggyTheZealot · Oct 23, 2006, 05:09 AM // 05:09

i've had no problems running as described in the original post to get some distance in between me and the aataxe to get a new ps up.

Black Destroyer · Oct 23, 2006, 05:49 PM // 17:49

yea but it's takes so long for my energy to get back up ^^

Kcp · Oct 23, 2006, 07:36 PM // 19:36

Energy problems? From what?

You shouldn't have any enrgy problems with E.B and B.S., not to mention the 4 pts in soul reaping.

Once rended you have 4 pips of regen, thats more then enough regen to keep PS, and SB up until you can get everything recasted safely.

Hmm.. idle observation, isit just me, or has America been bucking up in the HoH lately? We never used to have favour, and I almost switched to Europe because of that, but now, America seems to be improving, in terms of the number of hours they hold Halls o.o

KCP you rock. This build is great. Finally someone explains a clear and simple way to deal with the Dying Nightmares, all the other builds on the forum tell you to wand them without giving you any alternatives, by running and letting them rend themselves to death you can easily deal with double spawns. The squids kill me, but that's just my lack of practice. And.. Benton FTW!! ... lol Thanks again for the great guide.

I'm having major problems taking down aatxes 1 on 1. Any suggestions?

Kcp · Oct 24, 2006, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Anarion whenever it's just you and 1 aatxe you can either try to lure it to more aatxe to speed the killing along, or you can try to take it out 1 vs 1. Use your melee weapon with enchant mod and continually attack the aatxe triggering the ripostes. Only use spirit bond when your life gets in the teens. Get the one savage slash triggered and you should be able to get 2 ss's on it to drop it if you re-hex the aatxe at around 1/2 life. Really no need to use reckless haste in a 1 vs 1 situation since it screws with your energy gain.

Personally I try to group everything up for faster kills and better energy management while doing so. Usually I only leave 1 aatxe at the top of the staircase since it doesn't pull very well with the others in the first chamber. It will however pull into the second chamber if you hug the wall on your left and run into the last chamber with the staircase to the smites. The aatxe will act like it's going to go back to it's original position then turn around and follow you into the last chamber with the other 4 aatxe. Sometimes it will not follow you to the last 4 aatxe but it's no big deal.

Koning · Oct 24, 2006, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I also never use RH when only 2 aatxe's are attacking me, it screws my energy like when only 1 is attacking.

Arangja · Oct 25, 2006, 09:08 AM // 09:08

OK KCP 1stly thx for sharing this with us m8

much appreciated

I threw 20K at it last night, and yes lol before you ask I did read you guidelines and watched your videos several times, the nightmares is my biggest pain, but only after i read a bit further than just the guide I realized why the 1 nightmare always gets me lol (Wand not customized

)

So yea I will give it a go again tonight, then if I start running low on cash then ill just use my warrior to get some shards and try again lol

I can see the potential and I can see it works like a dream the couple of times I got the aatxes without the nightmares

nooooooooooo problem they drop fast.

I do sometimes still forget to select the last from the three lol so when I tab + space lol i hit the aatxe (

me bad)

But ace m8 this is an awsome build, and I will give it some more testing

Pull it into another mob of stuff, your energy management will be fine.

so when you get rended, you recast SB and PS on you and you let the aaxta beat on you? and in the meanwhile you try to recast EB, BS and mending?

Xethrion · Oct 25, 2006, 12:47 PM // 12:47

No.. when you get rended, you recast PS and SB, IN THAT ORDER, then run to the safe spot to recast your maintained enchants.

No point trying to recast them when aatxes with savage slash are beating on you. Well, no point if you're trying to actually get them on you, and not just lure Savage Slashes out.

That was the problem.. It was the only mob there.. The graspings got stuck on the cow, and naturally I put SS on the aatxe and watched the graspings drop. Only problem was, I couldn't take down the aatxe solo. The aggro was screwed. I broke the aggro, but when I went near the exit to the ice wastes, the aatxe started running toward me.. Just wondering if there was a special trick to it..

Kcp · Oct 25, 2006, 02:50 PM // 14:50

If the aatxe and last set of squids get stuck at the top of the staircase this is what I do.

There will be 1-2 squids that become stuck slightly below the top of the stairs while the other squids get stuck on the aatxe.

Hex the closest squid with spiteful, then tab to the aatxe, proceed to ignore the original squids that are already beating on you and hex the aatxe with SS the second it is recharged. Now walk backwards a bit to line them up for SS AoE. Squids will die fast, and the aatxe will be left with 1/4-1/3 life. Proceed to lure the aatxe to the remaining four in the last chamber skipping the last 2-3 squids in that room.

Or you can try this. Aggro the aatxe and squids, then proceed to run back down stairs. THe aatxe will turn around and so will the squids after a certain distance. Both will resume their patrols normally. Pick the squids off and continue to the smite level when their patrol brings them back to you.

Arangja · Oct 26, 2006, 10:43 AM // 10:43

OK I'm starting to figure out the nightmares and getting them killed nice and easy now

the darknesses is no problem and the aatxes are fine too, I still do silly mistakes here and there but in general awesome

I got 2 ectos yesterday so all the money that I spent on getting to know this build is gonna be repaid soon

My biggest mistakes atm is that I try and cast mending or ss when SB has ran out and the 2 second cast time is too much for my 55 hp too handle, but thats just my mistakes and my timing that sucks lol
