I have been using this build and found it very easy to use, i would like to know a couple of things:
Firstly what is the usual ecto to run ration, as i got 3 in my first 2 runs, but havent had any since.
Secondly could you please look at the attacked map, I killed all the smites i could find following that route, is there another area with them in? Or is that all of them?

Cheers.

Its all of them. I found the ecto drops to be really bad too compared to some time ago. I got my first and only ecto after 5 complete runs

I honestly can't complain about the drops. My first run i got 1, 2nd run got 1, 3 4 5 nothing, 6th run i got 2, 7th run i got 1.

Time to do something else now, seems like my drops are getting worse...

Smites' droprate is only 2%... Bulls' droprate is 4%...
Maybe we can find a way to farm them w/o risky bodyblocking..
Bulls+Smites= lots of ectos

Lambra The Great Build is very risky cause Aaxters for some reason can cause Bleeding out no where and it bypass the armor skills and does heavy dmg so I dont suggest you use that build it horrible. But if you want to try where it is.

Quick question..

I'm guessing I'm going to have to take my War through factions to get 'Vengeful Was Khanhei' which will test my will power but worth it for some extra cash. Anyway the quick question..Is there any boss in Nightfall that has it aswell? Or is that just wishful thinking and I should just get his arse through factions?

I've found out that a run in Sorrows Furnace seem to clean the antifarm code.
If i do the Killroy Stonkin Quest, and go back to UW, i get 3-5 ectos.

so I finally tried this (out of boredom, did too much e/me ) and I like it, most of all because you can go to other places with this.
After the smites I ran up the mountain to chaos planes (runs wasn't too hard, just make sure you don't catch the patrolling charged blacknesses and the static group blacknesses at the same time, resillent weapon also works a bit + i have a +10 vs lighting weapon). killing that banished dreamrider was very easy, but after that the mindblades spawned. I made sure resillent and VwK was up b4 going in (I know they interrupt), but at the time i needed to cast VwK again, I kept getting interrupted. because of that, i need with only few honor I haven't tried bonepits cause mindblades were infront of the 'entrance'.
What to do about this interrupting?

ive never gone past smites in uw but how are they interrupting vwk isnt it a 1/4 cast time so they to get lucky to start casting their interrupt before you even cast vwk?

no, VwK = 3/4 cast time. Since these mindblades are some kind of uber monsters they can interrupt that. Vengefull weapon is only 1/4 like u said.

i dont understand what you all are doing different in farming. I have farmed UW solo as a RT/ME for months and true you have good runs and bad but it was a regular thing to make 200k+ in ecto per week with about 3 hrs after work each day. Not to mention the gold items,salvage and cash.

W/rt seems about the same speed as me/rt. but til they fully nerf it i will stick with rt/me or E/me.

I can kill the Smites and everything, but the Coldfires are a pain in the ass... they always get me and are hard to do any damage becouse of Aura Of Restortation... Witte help please!!!

If you can't handle it, watch the video. Or watch my ele run, and look how i dodge all the patrols

Hmm, I switched out a shield for a focus item (20/20 Rest Magic) and I find it combined with Dreadnought's armor, it works very well since you have extra energy and 20/20 chance.

Uh, sorry for the noob question, but I tried this 3 times a few mins ago but I seem to always end up in the wrong place, dead, or about to get my --- owned by some ataxes (ataxxes? aataxes? Help!).

When I start, I appear on some rock with glowing bits on it. I talk to the ghost and I get the quest. I kill the 3 groups of grasping darkness (or whatever they're called). The quest then tells me to go clear out stuff near a statue of grenth. I tried going that way but almost got killed by aataxes. I couldn't really get further then there because there were too many aataxes in the way. I tried going up the right set of stairs (when looking from the glowing rock thing), and then turning right, but I got killed. What am I doing wrong? Where should I be going?

Thanks in advance, Marty.

The third video on the first post shows the run; here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvaf...elated&search=

Basically, run up the stairs to the right of the Lost Soul, continue right past both staircases on your left, through the gate and around the corner to your left, hug the wall on your left, and go straight across the clearing and up the stairs surrounded by ice crystals. That was a long run-on sentence, huh?

just wanted to say thanks witte. I'm not that big of a farmer, usually because most builds cost me about 20-30k to set em up, but with your build I got lucky, and only had to invest in 2 skills.

It's a really smooth run, and the skills/attributes work great. I havn't gotten a chance to run through all the zones you did, but from what I can tell they won't be much more difficult than the rest.

No great runs for me yet, but I'm coming out in the +'s at any rate.

So thanks, and great job and all the snazz

Thx great build now Im farming for my warriors fow. Not going to get full set instead gonna mix with gladiator15k hauberk+glove actuall hauberk was funny anyway. And are you guys killing coldfires. I tried when I cleared out whole smited without even agroing 1 coldfire and after smited farmed I tried killing a 2 man group could did anything . Of course it isnt possible to making mass agro farming without killing them but Im happy with my build but only problem I have is I farmed the whole smites since this monday usually got 1 ecto in 2 runs and only 1 time got 2 ecto in run. Not 3-4-5 ectos in run it would be great or are there more smites in UW than I know. As far as I know they are only in the way going right way when clear chamber done and near the altar of grenth. Usually kill 30 of them and every 3 runs get 2 skill point.

Dahnel's build has always been able to kill the coldfires and it's not even that hard. Just don't stand in maelstrom.

I cleared all the mindblades before the nerfed skills. Now, what I can do is kill the first 6 mindblades T_T I hate nerfing.
Anyway, I cant survive at Bone Pit. Any suggestion?

This build is awsome only problem is when the coldfires freeze and you cannot get around usally 1-3 ecto every 2-3 runs. I usally take a break after 3 runs so farming code can go down.

You can always arggo then run from the Nightfires whenever they get stuck, that is how I get around those hurdles.
