the colds are annoying as heck. i can kill them, but it takes a while. i just run past them. they dont drop anything good really.

if u take on 1 group of coldfires at a time u can kill them fairly easy. It takes a bit longer then others tho.

What i do is VwK + occasional Vengeful weapon, and when VwK ends i use desperation blow till the bleeding triggers. The degen really helps alot to kill them

Give it a try. If you don't succeed at first then try again until you realize something.

this build is great. i use it myself and it takes about 15-20 minutes to completely clear out the smites. i've had gold perfect eternal bows drop, many ectos, black dyes... everything. it's reasonably fast as a smite-killing-machine but it's incredibly safe. the only trouble you'll ever have is from being rubber-banded by aatxes while running past them or by accidentaly aggroing coldfires. both situations can be avoided by watching patrols and not squeezing through gaps.

it's alot safer than the e/me sandstorm build i used to use. that build while twice as fast, relies on harsh amounts of skill timing and you are incredibly fragile. the new changes to sv/av have also made the run way riskier (not to mention the nightmares).

this build has no enchantments to rend, no huge recharge and casting skills to distract and fantastic surviveability. it's been very profitable for me and very enjoyable. i'd like to thank the OP for giving us a build that not only makes us rich, but deftly avoids the nerf bat time and time again

I've used this build for a couple of times. The only problem I see is when the smiters are in groups of more than 5.. I can tank them endlessly but they keep scattering.

Any suggestions? Is there a way to separate a group?

Any suggestions? Is there a way to separate a group? These are a pain, but you can almost always split them. I usually agro them and run (not sprint) back as far as they'll chase me. Then I try to agro the trailing smite and run back again. After a couple tries I'll get just one of the groups to follow.

My question: Is there always a group of charged drarkness hanging out in front of the gate to the chaos plains, or did I get a bad/broken spawn (or simply lost)?

This build is very easy and fast, so u can make 2-3 ectos per run easily.
But money is not my problem, i just wanna kill the bulls (btw, they drop ectos at 4% and smite only 2%)

I can easily kill bulls with Witte's build mixed with one of mine, but it requires
a second char (e henchie lol) and so its not solo, and i'm not happy

Let's think a fast build to kill'em


(not 55, i just hate the 55 system, it's like an hack and even a 5 years old kid can do it, too easy, too lamer)

Not to be rude but screens are unfairs.
Even a lvl 5 char can kill aatxes cheating with npc's, and black dye is luck.
I dont care of drops, just lf a build to kill those bulls

Make a guide?

Make a guide? Ok, this is bull(....) Remember the W/N build? Where you had to bodyblock the Aatxes? That's also no cheating. I'm very very happy with Apo's build and I'm still wondering what the build from Lambda The Great is. And your other posts on the other threads are also a bit weird..you said you can solo the tombs with a W/N. Pretty cool but I need some screenshots for proof.

also: thnx to Ascalonwarrior for showing those nice spots

I'm only saying that block in that way is too risky, u can die for a little lag...
Solo tombs w/n... the method is the same that u can c on wiki, check solo necro stygian farming, but its not worth the time coz it takes 2 long.
A lvl 5 ranger with bleeding+poison can kill a blocked aatxe XD

btw nice mass aggro spots, i'm gonna try them out tonite.

I think he's trying to say that getting into the position where the aatxe is blocked is risky if you have a connection that tends to lag. I've noticed this myself sometimes, you think you've got him blocked but somehow hits you anyway and you have to adjust really quickly.

I just find this method risky Ah you're right about this, but it's still no cheating It's using your enviroment, a tactic I use in many of my builds. (for example: my Me/Rit solo build for the first stage of the Tombs)

btw: would you mind sharing your w/n solo tombs build? cuz I'm still curious about it

I used this method to farm tombs, a little slow but funny^^
Keep on Awaken the Blood and approach to the mob,
Cast Suffering.
Run away with Sprint and break aggro.
Wait for mob to resettle.
Cast Feast of Corruption.
Run away and wait for mob to resettle.
Cast Suffering.
Run away until you loose agro.
Cast Desecrate Enchantments,
Repeat all again and they are dead
*when you see a fleshy mob cast rotting flesh on it and it will trasmiss it to the others

I dont remember the exact build (when i made it, there wasn't the save-build system)
Btw:

- Suffering
- Feast of Corruption (capped in snake dance i think)
- Desecrate Enchantments
- Awaken the Blood
- Rotting Flesh (wurms hate this :P)
- Death Nova
- Sprint
- Balanced Stance (wurms-.-)

You can also use a necro for this but you have more chances to die coz
he cant run for long time (no strenght attribute) and got a weak armor.

Try this if u want, i had fun doing that, but u need a couple of hour to clean up
the whole place i'm married now so don't have so much time

The build works fine for me. The only thing i'm having problems with is when u leave the ice wastes to go to the chaos planes. The Aatxes u sprinted by there to get to the ice wastes kill me every time, dunno how it comes but they hardly break aggro there...

hmm, you are accusing other ppl of being lame and cheating when they are making good use of environment, but this sounds more lame to me...

Yeah I was going to comment on that. They don't run away but they *do* stop attacking. Keeps them from building up energy, though. Great stuff A_W! That trick would be pretty sweet for an elementalist - heck even an old school W/Mo with Bal's, SoW, and zealot's. You'd have to slog your way though the graspings, of course..
