Im a bit busy atm, but gonna try your version at weekend Koning. Looks kinda fast as well, saw you do ~80 damage on smites.

Wha... Seriously... you don't need 2 running skills to get past Aatxe. They've been dealing 101 to me. A 14 second running skill is easily enough. You run past the first mob (if they've spawned too close to the wall, do NOT try and run through the gap, rubber bands kill). Stop in the entrance to the second area (don't run in when the aatxe mob is already there...). The grasps can't hurt you even if you do agro them when your running through. The Aatxe can't kill you in the 6 seconds downtime of Enraged if you don't let it end stood next to them. Talk about throwing a skill slot down the toilet.

Nice Koning. Im starting to see more W/Ds around ToA now

well you can be fine with pious haste - 5s recharge (cause you cant add points into mysticism) & 5s run 33% faster - that means you can run 33% as long as you have energy

All right all right, maybe I've picked up bad habbits from using the Rt/W zero str build.

I might have to try that.....The 4 adren from Enraging Charge is nice, but everytime I go to run to the smites, I have to stop and wait about 10-15 seconds for the graspings to get out of the way, aside from running faster, you can keep it up the whole time, so it should at least cancel out the beginning adren boost you get with enraging charge, while not having to worry about getting smaked to death by the aataxes during enraging charge's downtime.

Evilsod · Apr 18, 2007, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Hmm, i never considered Pious Haste. But tbh its not the Aatxe/Grasps attacks that worry me, even during the downtime of Enraging. Its the fact that if they come at you at just the wrong time and place... boom, body blocked/rubber banding ---> death. I'd much rather take that extra 30 seconds to make sure i actually reach the Smites.

mwpeck · Apr 18, 2007, 09:05 PM // 21:05

I only had 1 problem when running, I got too close to the wall and got killed by the aataxes, even though it looked like they were off my screen...the 33% could have helped me make it by them. Though that time was my own fault, most of the other times I get hit by an aataxe at least once.

I always wait for the graspings to get out of the way, the aataxes have an awkward movement pattern, so with the movement speed boost, it helps avoiding them. To be honest, I've never been body blocked by the aataxes in the 2nd chamber, only ever had a problem with those in the first.

This build looks great. How is the speed of this compared with the D/Me and E/Me builds?

My-way Ftw · Apr 19, 2007, 01:25 PM // 13:25

@ Koning.

Tried your build, works great. 2 x ecto + white dye on first run

Grasps and smites go down in seconds. I managed a group of 3 smites in under 20 seconds as well before.

@ Query about run skill.

Might try Pious Haste, will let you know what happens. I have no problem with enraging, although i sometimes have to run straight into smite group, without a rest.

@ Nameless

Slower than E/Me, Faster than D/Me (assuming you mean the Visages version) and Faster than W/Rt.

Fun stuff. Thank you Max-Rulez and Koning for the builds. Seven ectos in 2 runs last night!

Jeez, you guys are lucky......I got 0 ecto's(though 1 sapphire), in three runs yesterday.

Not to worry. The Law of Averages suggests that I have 5 fruitless runs to look forward to in payment.

nameless vagrant · Apr 19, 2007, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Thanks a lot everyone. It took a few tries to get the skills down. In the 4 successful runs that I did I got 1+2+1(ecto)+1(ruby). Run takes me 18-20mins.

My law of drops just state i'll get nothing for a while... hence the 6 ecto from over 40 runs with E/Me.

Seems to be been fairly balanced at the moment though. Getting a rare 2 ectos in a run and a few 1 ecto runs to balance out the dropless ones. Other than people in my Alliance though i haven't seen a single W/D heading into UW yet.

cle4ves · Apr 21, 2007, 07:16 AM // 07:16

woooow, i use a almost exact same build on my warrior for PvE but i had never imagine using it in UW, thanks for the heads up ^^

AscalonWarrior · Apr 21, 2007, 07:23 AM // 07:23

Ecto and Rare (gold) drops are now exempt from the loot system, so this is as profitable as before?

Still profitable if you're going for the ectos, and the other drops just about cover the 1k entrance fee.
