Are those attribute possible???? Plus no points in Illusions????
jaibas17
sorry my bad on attributes, im actually using:
7 illusion
13 strenght
15 axe
9 tac
if I could swap my req 9 tactics -2-2 for a req 9 str -2-2, I would dump out all pts in tactics, since I have no purpose for it other than the shield req (no healing ftw)

What if you swapped Cleave for Triple chop, and Pen chop for Cyclone axe?
And use a zealous axe.

I'm using Bewn's sword build for my first run
Do you guys think that by replacing Flail with Physical Resistance (So Phys and Dolyak) would work better? No IAS means slower damage though.

the build that im using works, although the smites can still get some dmg through, and i almost dies one trying to kill a group of about 15. but it works and i got another ecto.

First of all, sorry for not replying inGame, I was kinda busy that moment and forgot to reply 
Imho PhyRes + Dolyak is kinda overkill. ATM I use full Knight's, a sup absorption and a -2/45hp shield (when stanced though while enchanted works the same way in this build) and I rarely take damage at all from smites when both Dolyak and Flail are up. The Graspings hit me for more than zero damage once in a blue moon, so you get the picture
Nevertheless I tweaked the Build a little more:
Lion's Comfort is quite better than Healing Sig though two things should be taken into account:
- As long as Dolyak Signet still recharges for more than 12 Seconds, the drawback of disabling Signets will NOT happen. So if you need to cast LC, try to wait until having reapplied Dolyak and hit LC right afterwards
- No Healing outsinde of Combat (though I very rarely need healing at all, except I aggroed more than 1 group of smites at the same time)
Ditching Healing Signet for LC means less points in tactics needed since HS is was the only tactics-related skill and since I have 15 in Strengh and some leftover points in tactics I get a selfheal nearly exactly as strong as HS but with more sparepoints for Swordmastery

just one tip for you bewn =]
ele is great dmg vs the graspings (more than normal) and sundering does wonders vs the smites =]
anf if you wanna go no healing, switch lions comfort for sun and moon slash, its a realy good combo with a energy attack (your counterdattacK), you will gain 2 adrealine through it =] , helps spam quivering blade =]

Flightmare
you'll get allmost no damage with this build so healing isn't nessesary, I have lions comfort with me, (using the physical resistance version) just to feel comfortable
King's Spectre
Does anyone know what sort of physical damage the smites do? Slashing /Blunt /Piercing

and if you got say that extra -2 missing or that + 5 armor missing or even the correct armor you can easily take watch yourself in with a phys resistance build (so you don't have to share strength and tactics).
if you go by these rules you will either take no dmg, or 0-2dmg
which still means healing is realy not requiredQuote:

 ...wellpiercing = ranged blunt = hammer (they seem to attack faster than average hammer speed) slashing = ..... them "i think" not a hundred percent sure, will look into it
KillaKarl
sum1 willing to show me how to do this once when we got favor?
dont feel no pain
... im hardly on... and when i am im too busy on skype and stand still
theres video links on the first page, it may not be the build you want, but it shows pulling and running =]

Do you throw with daggers? A lot of daggers are piercing and some axes aswell. Maybe you can hear it what type of damage it is? Probably piercing or slashing I think. Then you can use shields with -2 recieved physical damage and +10amor vs piercing/slashing/blunt. Would be good.
And about helmet, you can use a nightfall helmet, you can use insignias on those, so you can make a knights helmet of the weapon type you want. Allso, if you accidentally aggro some aaxtes into the "safe zone" and can't get rid of them, run (skill) out and head to the closed gate you normally run through to the smites, and they will break aggro most times.

yeah -2-2 is good, but if all you got is -2, then just do -2 and watch yourself, comes to the same thing i think =]
Aeon_Enceladus
So..if I don't have a -2/-2 shield, then I'd be wrong running this build?:
I have a -2/+30 shield though. [skill]Ancestors Visage[/skill][skill]Sympathetic Visage[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill][skill]Quivering Blade[/skill][skill]Counterattack[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill]? Should I replace Counter Attack with Watch Yourself?

if you have full set of knight's armor then remove heal sig for Watch yourself
if you don't ya.. go with Watch your self over Counter Attack
Meralda estat
Here's one for sword that ive been running and love it so Far Thx for the ide!
Strongly recomend full set of Knights/Ascalon armor like said before. Been trying with non Knight/Ascalon its just a pain to do it whitout! 2112

if you don't ya.. go with Watch your self over Counter Attack what i use.. if anyone cares or minds. Sorry i'm for speed or IAS.... but almost farmed 20 globs to this date **side note** Same build Two globs in one run =) This build seems to work really well and fast. You use it only to clear the grasps and smites or do you kill the coldfires as well? I've only used against the smites and grasps and it works really well. hotman

as for gear/attribute point allocation: the shield can be bought from him and the Sword is a collector's reward from this dude modded with an enchant upgrade, so my gear is by no menas perfect and there are a lot of options for shield and sword, but it works and it's easy For armor, I use Full Knights with +1 Strength Helm with Sup Strength-, Swordmanship- and Absorptionrune, High Vigor and Minor Tactics right now, I'm testing, whether it's possible to substitude Healing Sig for Lions Comfort. If that works, I could ditch the points in tactics and raise Swordmanship and/or Illusionmagic but I'm not sure how hard the "Disable all signets for 12 secs" would impact on Dolyak though im confident it might work... what armour/ runes do u use for this build im kinda bad at guessing lol
leeky baby
this build is just pure owange
ill have my fow in no time. Iv got my run to just under 20 mins now.I just got 4 Ectos in 1 run Ty Leeky raylan

Or USE ECHO omg...
 anyway i'll continue farming til this is nerfed/i get enough money
