for what do you use the illusion wand? Do you use it for the Dying Nightmares?
Yes! just in case they pop up while fighting

thanks

thanks NP

Is the run difficult or not?
I looked the video about 3 times, so i know the path you have to take, is it smart to use arcane echo instead of deadly riposte, because smites are immuun for bleeding and physical recistance instead of riposte?
So i mean:

Dolyak signet --> AV --> arcane acho --> Glads --> SV --> Bonneti's Defence (for energy) --> glads again --> dolyak signet/Pysical Recistance.... so on

Any Ideas?

Any Ideas? the run is not difficult it took me 2 times to learn...
sry but arcane echo only works on spell... and glad's a stance, so...
they are immune to bleeding yes but not to the damage

Damage is indead alot when tactics on 15 or 16 tacs

But I still have to admit, killing 6 smites is a semi challenge. Honestly, it is easier to kill the smites in small groups. However, sometimes you will get groups larger than you can kill easily....or like me, you just want to see how many you can handle. I've already mentioned using Sprint to buy a few seconds to heal sig, but there is another trick.
All groups of smites seem to have a maximum distance they will pull. If you find yourself with a group too large to kill easily, one thing you can do is pull the smites as far back (usually towards the chamber) as they will follow you, at some point they turn back. Find this point, then when you need a chance to heal, just step back across this point. They will head back to their start point, you can heal, then step forward and get them to attack again, then rinse & repeat, using Gladiator's and Riposte to wear them down as you can. It can get a little tricky balancing letting them hit you while SV is up, damaging them, Dolyak, stances & healing, but once you get it down, you can handle pretty large groups, 12+. Note that this requires reduced use of Dolyak, and because of that, I really doubt it is possible without the extra protection Bonnetti's provides in my build.
Seriously though, just stick to small groups if you can, it’s much faster & easier.

very nice build. the 2 ripostes works pretty good, dont need to swap thanks

...Just wondering, but without any enchantments to worry about getting rended (since you're not using 55hp monk enchants to stay alive), why use the wand for nightmares? I would assume that you meant to use it for 20/20 chance for faster cast/recharge on SV/AV. With SV/AV always up things become faster and easier: grasping dont drain your energy away and the smiters dont heal themselves... for theese reasons u want to SV/AV always up an for this reason u use the wand to kill nightmare pop during a fight...

Works great. 3 ectos and Sup Vigor on my first run. What dropped the rune? gg btw.

What dropped the rune? gg btw. Chest maybe. I don't think there's rune-dropping enemies in UW
