4 ecto dropping from a smite run?!
Shoulda specified SOLO smite run [much less comprehensive than some full team smiters]
From my many trips [and I mean many] I've never seen this. To this date, I've never gotten more than 3

3 ecto dropping is fairly common - 8-10% chance as I've seen it. 4 ecto dropping just from smites though... is a statistical anomaly lol.
This is the 1st time this has happend though and I've been farming since the cows have been coming home.

my largest drop ever before they nerfed uw drops was 6 ecto in a solo run. =)
but these days, the most i've ever seen in a party w/ 8 people, is 3 globs total from smites.

Thats not that much. Depends if you cleared FoW with your group.

A group of guildies and some members of PIE decided to some UW during a late night. We cleared all the areas but one, I believe it was the Spawning Pools (we had 2 who had to leave).
During that run, I got quite lucky scored 3 ectos. Another got 2, and another got 1 for a total of 6 in a run. I am not sure if the number of overall drop is common because I've never gone so far in UW before. Though 4 ectos in one area is definitely rare.

You forgot to hide the Mending icon on your screenshot.
I'm going to copy your build.

I'll help rebuild! This is like the greatest thing ever! We have never seen this before
Ok... so we have mending...
and I see Balthasar's Spirit Icon also! we have 2 of 8 skills now!
and he's not doing dual farming, so I guess we can write off the necro SS dual farm.
..........
Seriously, 4 ecto in a run is pretty lucky, cgz on that. But this is nothing new. And in case you didn't know: you are not the only one soloing it. Not really a secret.
It feels like the paladin template user that is blacking out his skillbar tbh...

one time was doing 3 man in uw back in prot bond days [we'd clear the obsidians etc easily so hence the 3 man]
and our tank monk friend died, so I threw my armor on and put some of the enchants I had been maintaing on myself & ran into some mindblade spectres.... 2 ectos dropped from the ones we were able to kill, and about 3 had already dropped earlier.
So 5 in total, but 2 of them my friend wasn't able to grab because he got killed too fast ^^ as did I.... awwh.

Really? Because the way that I was talking, it seemed that I was.
Not. And in case you didn't know: you can solo UW with a monk, you can solo FOW with a monk. You can Solo UW with a warrior, as well as FOW. I heard you can even Solo HoH with a fish between you legs. I'm fully aware of all this, I was just incredulous of finding 4 etco drop all from smite crawlers.

Mending ftw. This was the 1st time I actually solo'd for about a week, I really enjoy SS as it makes things go considerably smoother. Might have been a bit anal to black out my skills if anyone wants to know them PM me. Or Makkert
