just replace WY! with Shield stance.

Truthfully, I was doing this with a water wand before I found the nolani wand. I recommended it simply because all you're doing is attacking with it anyway so you might as well use something that attacks faster.

racthoh... GW nerfed that wand so it doesnt give the +10% attack speed anymore.

oh... i knew that. im always slow on stuff...

i just started farming IDS about 3 days ago, 2 days ago they nerfed the armor value. ugh its lame.

Actually the wand is the least of your issues. I hadn't even considerd the amount of extra damage you'll be taking from the smite's Zealot's Fire. With the number of times I've been near death against a group of 5 of them, that extra +5 damage every time they cast a spell is going to make matters a little more difficult.

I still haven't tried it since the change, I just realized that now.

Have you timed how fast you can finish a run? All the way to finishing the smites?

Solo is nice, but the point is to farm ectos, and speed determins the rate. (From a logic point of view).

I wouldn't bother with this if a 55hp and a SS/SV can finish a run twice as fast.

May just be me but i always thought racthoh was in it for the thrill of the hunt ^_^

It's roughly a minute per aatxe, then up to 2 minutes per group of smites. So whatever that works out to.

well most ppl farm just for the fun and the challenge. some dont even care about the money too much.

Well I tried this for the first time today.... 15 failures lol. On my last try before we lost favor I managed to kill one, but that's it. I aggroed the 2 on top of the stairs and went to the corner where the stairs meets the wall but somehow they both attacked at the same time so I died. At that exact moment - EU Takes favor. It was a victory but yet a total loss at the same time.

bos_dr · Jul 18, 2006, 12:48 AM // 00:48

ive been trying this alot lately and i still cant get it. i noticed that the first group always has 3 aatxes instead of 2 and 1 on patrol. but somehow the aatxe kills me in about 5 seconds even with WY, DS and enfeeble.

Racthoh · Jul 19, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Well despite the fact that Zealot's Fire does more damage now to warriors, this is still possible to do. Managed some time to test it today, still works with the slower wand and the warrior armour balance.

For about the 40th time this thread, this isn't meant to be a big money maker. It's simply for bragging rights, and the thrill of trying something that seems nearly impossible.
