Rt/me Smite Crawler Solo

Hmm.. Gotta try that.. I just ran in and Body aggroed em.. If it do work it could be alot better becouse it aint really easy with interupts and E surges that drain energy x.x..

Edit: It seems that they move into spellcast range, even tho they was at higher ground than me.. Also even if it works it would be impossible to get past the Dyders and Dream riders anyway..

Edit2: Whats the Max Number of smiters any1 has soloed in one Group so far with this build ^^ ?
Mine is 13..

>_>

ill try on Tombs later..
For now.. i killed a group of 3 colds last night, and i wasnt using shooting memories .
Ow ! and was a good nite: 6 ectos and 6 gold itens, including a gold fellblade with +30h mod ^^.

And my New record is 14

... I just tried 3 times.. First time was ok, spawns were where they should be, only I had a bit of bad luck at the second group when I pressed the wrong button.. Anyway, the 2 other tries: first -> 2 bullthingies behind the door, instantly aggroing me when the door opens, running fails because the bullthingy on the stairs aggros as well... Second -> the 2nd group of graspings spawned in the back, patrolling between the position where the first group was, and the position where the third group is.. Aggroing them to come to the startingarea fails because once they reach the stairs, they return..

Am I just having bad luck, or did they nerf this farm? :/


Edit: 7 runs (read 7k wasted): 1 good run, but RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up myself, 1 RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up aaxtes spawn, 5 RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up spawns of the 2nd group of graspings -_-

Also, the graspings keep interrupting me even if i let visage work its magic for 4-5 seconds.. The minute I start casting Arcane Echo -> interrupts.. With a bit of bad luck, they even interrupt my Vengeful was thing -_-

So far i havent herd any1 do that better solo.. Only other char i can imagen take that many at 1 time is a Spirit bond Monk, But i dont think he can kill em in 30 sec.. o.o

And to the ones wondering if i died then:

Ofc not ^^
No ectos tho =/

But i did beat my own personal Record..

Have to aggre this is the best source of imcome. SHHH. Dont tell anyone else.

o well what i did was wait for those graspings to move down towards starting area, they r the first group i take usually , provided they're not stuck behind some aaxte.

With a bit of bad luck, they even interrupt my Vengeful was thing -_- remember this the first skill grasping use is ALWAYS distrcting blow. even if u let visage for 4~5 secs, one grasping tht reaches u at the 6th seconds will still able to distracting blow you. My advice: wait for EVERY graspings you've aggroed hit the first strike b4 casting arcane echo.

Luck of the draw i guess ..i get 2 ecto a run on average, That said i only do it around once every couple of days

Yep, my ecto drops are fine. I get about 2-3 a run, but i only do this on weekends.

If anyone have a problem with coldfires, replace shooting Memories with Elemental Resistance its much easyer.

Thanks Dahnel for this fantastic build

With Some practise Coldfires should get fairly easy... I kill groups of 2 with just VwK, Aecho, Vengeful weapon.. Groups of 3 is a little harder cus i dont use Soothing Memorys.. But 2 coldfires go down easy with the above 3 skills + WASD out of malestorm..

Hmm, working quite well now, but still having problems taking the last group of graspings if one is stuck behind an aaxte at the bottom end of the stairs.. if I haste paste the 2 static aaxtes, the aaxte blocking the grasping charges at me and he keeps following since haste has stopped and there isn't enough room for me to run (to the gate)..

Anyone have an idea hwo to take that last grasping?

Anyone have an idea hwo to take that last grasping? Well.. You should be safe by the doors and still have enough room to kite away from the Aatxe on the step (the one usually blocking the last grasping) if you agro by walking into range instead of wanding (since this gives you more distance to run back to the door).

thanks for the build!!!!!!!!!!

I did with my warr/mesmer
