Curse

After some testing I have found all my problems with graspings have been down to flurry. So I now run SV as the tank and have dropped essence bond. This prevents the graspings from using flurry repeatedly and not damaging above 60.

Unless, of course, you just want to do the whole UW and have fun, which is the whole point of gaming anyway.

From all the runs I have been doing down there lately I have had better luck getting ecto and gold chests when I get to the chaos plains. For example on Sunday night a guildie, my wife, and I were down in UW. We got 2 ecto in the entire first area. When we went through the mountains into the chaos plain we got a total of 6 ecto drops there. And over all with three people going through the mountains is a cake walk.

Precisely, fun and challenge...Trying to clear UW with two man (still a ways away) it's my goal before NF comes out, and unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen (too many Dreamriders in the quest from the Reaper of the Chaos Planes) and not enough time. I've managed to three man pretty much every other one (haven't tried the bone pits quest but that shouldn't be a problem). Keeper of souls seem to drop a fair amount of ectos for us.

And yah, for runs, go for the aatxes and smites. I don't even think there's much point in the graspings is there?

edit: making sense of what I wrote!

i did it first time works amazing no problems with Skull crack or distract blow Thanks for helping me and my friends for a quick uw run

Only problem is the Coldfires take a while to kill ( about 45-60 sec)

If I'm just doing a quick ecto run I'll avoid em, or just pull em along to the smites... Just make sure you don't pull em into your smiter, or move out of range of his enchants, cause then you'll be tanking forever!

I run 55 bonder mo/w for duo with ss. Your tank does not need elemental resistance for graspings, just needs a FFS and to attack with it.
