I just completed a run using a slight variation on Moone's build that allows me to kill all Portal Wraiths (and Hands of the Titans). There's 9 of these level 24 wraiths and they do drop the coveted undead loot. I got a white 5-27 req 8 Sephis Axe off one to prove it.

I only thought about making a screenshot after I miserably failed to solo Undead Rurik. I'll post one later, after my next run.

Attributes:
Strength 12 (includes minor rune)
Sword Mastery 9 (includes minor rune)
Tactics 15 (includes superior rune)
Inspiration: 3

Skillbar: (Starting with Moone's 6

)
Charge
Sprint
Endure Pain
Elemental Resistance
"I will survive!"
Healing Signet
Riposte
Deadly Riposte

Weapon sets:
-Icy 15% stance sword of warding (Elemental +7) & Grognar's Defender.
-Longbow

The running part is a tad more difficult than 'classic Moone' but still not too hard if you time everything well.

Killing the Portal Wraiths takes patience. The 2 outer portals have a space behind them you can run to. From there, lure the wraiths with a longbow. It's possible to lure 1 at a time. Keep firing at a single one, taking small steps back. Eventually, it'll want to punch you in the face and come all the way toward you. Take small steps back until the other wraiths retreat. The one you're fighting will often resort to punching. (Their energy management sucks.

) Your Riposte and Deadly Riposte will take it apart without much trouble.

Getting to the center portal takes a bit of time. You'll probably need to clean out some of the Titans to make room. The Hands are easy, don't bother with anything else, except Moles Quibus if he happens to spawn there. He drops very big. I haven't had any luck with the other bosses though, they heal too fast. Once you've killed enough Titans, the last 3 Wraiths can be lured like the first 2 groups, also from behind the portals. Don't forget to check the last one's drop after the cut scene takes you to Rurik.

Edit: Screenshot - One chest, 2 empty craters, some sad Titans
Edit: Killable: Scelus Prosum, Moles Quibus, Valetudo Rubor
Edit: Don't bother with this build: Tortitudo Probo, Maligo Libens

I have been running the chests here and soloing the portal wraiths for quite some time now why do you ppl post the builds. Need to let ppl think for them selfs.

Bleh. It's not about the farming, it's about the accomplishment.

I'll probably do this a few more times to perfect the build and do it faster; maybe get a nice drop. I'm also curious to see if I can solo the bonus, the 3 Armageddon Lords. Then it's on to the next challenge.

Calm down, its a game. These builds arent blueprints to weapons of mass destruction, ppl pass them around.
