funny thing about that, the first few times i tried this build(or the one similar to it) the grasps would always own me with their interrupts and/or i'd run out of energy. but the trick is that once one grasping is on you, u start casting the chain immediately and once u're done with that just keep swinging so splinter weapon will kill off the other ones.

awsome build man!

Looks quite nice. My wife's Rit will finally have fun gathering ectos lol.

Viet Spirit · Mar 31, 2007, 05:35 AM // 05:35

finally this build has surfaced since the inventer posted his youtube video here. Great build though and thanks for the guide anyway

I tested on trolls and it was not safe. It didint kill um in 1 shot, energy was a big problem and theres practicly no defence.

The trolls can be a little tricky, you have to activate glads def right before the first one hits you, and then start the chain of skills, I have done it several times now with no problems, you also cannot have even a little bit of lag or your dead.

I have been having a problem with dead sword farming though, it seems there is always at least 1 guy left and I die because I'm crippled and no self heal.

I went back and tryed trolls agin, thinking i did something wrong but nope still got killed. If this build cant even kill trolls why should i take it to the uw?

MrSlayer · Mar 31, 2007, 10:44 AM // 10:44

It has been proven to kill trolls. Dont blame the build when likely its your ineptitude, since so many others can try it.

I just need to get Gladi's Defense capped now, and I can give this a whirl. Looks awesome, gj dude.

Well ive been playing this game for a while and im no noob, I have 2 char with fow and ive made a few proven builds. Like Savannah Heat farmer. All im saying that this build does not kill trolls effectively.

dark_slayer · Mar 31, 2007, 12:05 PM // 12:05

Well i just atempted a smite run and it was 1 close call after anuther, intill 1 smite decided to use Shield of Judgement- Game Over. It is fast at killing smites tho. I still think it needs work.

Could be, could be, armours doesn't prove anything. More likely, it's just annoying when someone starts to list all kind of armorus which they have.

Crazyvietguy · Mar 31, 2007, 01:19 PM // 13:19

Seriously.. umm who cares about trolls.

This does work in UW if preformed correctly. The only problem i find in this build is there is no room for error. If you arent quick enough, you have about 5 seconds to deal the neccesary damage or you die, simple as that.

I did this run last night in 15-16 minutes. So it is fast but very difficult to master.

Seeing as trolls hit for like 60-70 dmg and smites hit for 40-50, trols are obviously going to get harder, works on smites a treat, i tried it on minos and works fine, cant be assed to try and trolls..

Sk8tborderx · Mar 31, 2007, 08:21 PM // 20:21

If you are still having trouble with trolls PM me in game, I will show you that it can be done. (I am also using the armor with +health if that helps)

have not tried this build on the trolls but have made hundred of successful smite runs with this build. Obviously trolls are different from smites/graspings. My fail rate is like 1-5% when shit happens like lag, graspings miraculously interrupt 2,3 skills with GD on.

Here are some tips I would like to share:
- Bring a channeling cane to use with the shield when Splinter Weapon is finished or there is only 1 grasping left. Shield Stance saves your life here.
- Run around while luring the smites to make sure they all start attacking you at once or only 1,2 sec apart, not few sec apart.
- Put GD on as soon as they attack you and start your chained attacks on them.
- If somehow some smites refuse to die after your first round of attacks, hit sprint to a safe place and restart your killing. It is much safer because often you are already low on health and SoJ will kill you.

I havent tried this build as rit but I made warrior variant and tried with vermins(? tried if they have time spreading out) It didnt worked fast as warriors have small enrgy pool(gladiator armor++5energy axe+focus) I frst casted cruel was... and splinter weapon and waited till energy comes full then attacked it worked prety well 8sec and all vermins was dead but I wonder how can I kill graspings btw I know vermins and smites arent same but it will kill smites too.

Heal Sig- Cruel Was ...-Splinter Weapon- Spirit Rift-Ancessor Rage- Cyclone Axe- Sprint-Glad Defence

( I probably misspelled some names but I am sure you can understand them)

Tested!
It works but not well it is really hard with W/Rit and the time waiting nergy to recharge makes it no faster than WvK. It is totally pain getting out of chamber without bonettis. But we cant replaace even 1 skill as all are neccecery. So it isnt great idea to do W/Rit. But it is getting easy when you reach smites but as I said chamber is a lot of pain

Theres a difference between tanking 3+ monks and tanking 10+ warriors.

To kill troll you can bring spirit of destruction precast it up and when you finish your chain sprint away. They will attack the spirit and die. Just give the spirit sometime to gain damage b4 you aggro them.

I just wanted to say that this by far the most innovative, challenging and fun build is in ages. I haven't had this much fun with smites since I started with my e/me

It's even almost as fast as e/me

True, tanking big groups is a bit tricky (75% is still a chance they hit you) but if you cast in the right order this is so much fun

(I've created a rit and got him to cap glads in 1 day

). I'll take groups 1 by 1 normally, and I stopwatched my smite runs still in 10-13 min.

*goes to uw again*

Best thing about this is no enchantments. Nightmares are no longer a problem!

Thanks for sharing!
