I've looked, but I could not find the answer...
do ectos still drop well in normal mode, or does hard mode increase the chance of an ecto drop any? If there is.. what are some UW HM farms?
I mean, does the War/Rt or the Terra Tank still do the trick?

Ecto's are rare materials and are therefore exempt from loot scaling, so yes they still drop in NM. AFAIK If you're after ectos there's really not much point going HM. If anything, the run is better in NM because they removed AI healing scatter, it's still in HM.

There are many UW builds posted on the first few pages...W/Rt, Rt/W, Rt/Mo, W/D are all pretty prominent. I think there are still Ele builds floating around, haven't tried it myself so i don't really know.

I've just started farming UW in NM and i'm happy with the W/D builds. I found the W/Rt a bit hard to manage energy but i'll give it another go once i'm used to the run.

If you're up for HM, i believe ReZDoGG's 330 Rt/Mo or 105 Rt/Mo's are viable.

I also got a Rt/W build that uses VwK instead of Splinter Weapon. It's almost like the W/Rt but kills alot faster. Instead of using Doylak and one optional slot, I use Disciplined Stance and "To the Limit". I'm still using my Rt/W build for ecto runs, and very happy with it over any other UW Smite build. here's the link: Rt/W UW Smite Solo (using VwK)

I will be updating my 105hp and Rt/W build so you can view the skills.
