thats the purpose of bonnettis defense. what i usually do is when i draw them i use enraged charge (my alternate sprint). when i get them pulled i start attacking one to gain adrenaline for bonnettis (enraged charge makes it that much quicker). once bonnettis is charged i use that to gain enough energy to cast vwk and then cast it before bonnettis runs out so that it aids in the blocking of thier interupts.

Doh!! You didn't know that. It's also explained on the first page and shown on the video m8 .
It's still hard those mindblade spectres, I only can kill 1, almost 2 but those interrupt's....
Still working on it.

So after going more then 10 times or more every time i take on the mindblades i can kill 2 while the last one just manages to interrupt everything and then degens me to death. kinda crazy how i can kill 2 but when one remains he takes me down like i am nothing. any clue on how to take 1 mindblade.

killing more than 3 mindblades is just lucky. im saying its lucky because they each have 2 spell interrupts and with not being able to gain energy faster than 2 pips and the fact a zealous weapon is useless vs clumsiness. if you didnt get interrupted you were just lucky because ive noticed sometimes they dont use their interrupt. i used to do this with my rit and remembered after an hour in uw why i quit. its a worthless farm spot in comparison to others. 2 hours and profit of 1k...weeee.. oh ya theres the occasional lucky drop of an ecto but in no way shape or form is it worth the effort. after my odlest character which hasthe same name as my guru forum name turns 2yrs old next month im going to get his present and delete him because i hate the underworld that much.

its not lucky, its about using your skills properly. you can sneak in a dolyak sig when ignorance wears off, kind of reduces the dmg u take, u can also sneak a heal sig, a hit with enraging on (when clumsiness wears out), hell, you can take other skills too :P (hint, to the limit and/or you will die)

Id just like to clear this up, rits CAN tank coldfires, they have always been able to as Rt/Me. Although this is irrelevant since you can do a whole smite run without aggroing colds (unless they are bugged) and like Witte said, they dont drop ecto :/

Yeah, it's not about luck at all.
You can kill 6 mindblades easily with 2 spirits. But 9 mindblades suck!
I used spirits to kill some aaxtes also (4-7 aaxtes each run).

Before being nerfed, I cleared all the mindblades using 2 spirits: Blood Song and Pain since they were both in Communing (I used Communing 11). With the 2 spirits, Mindblades wont use Clumsiness on you and the Spirits will kill all the Mindblades, what you need to do is heal yourself with VwK, Vengful weapon and anything else. I chose Mend Body and Soul due to less casting time. Sometimes, I got interrupted but VW did very well and I could survive.
With the same strategy, now I can survive with 6 mindblades only. Because the Blood Song is now in Channeling, I spend 9 on Channeling and 7 on Communing, so that they die faster. Without the spirits, Mindblades will use Clumsiness on you so that you cant attack --> no andrenaline for Bonetti --> no energy for healing --> die. I tried to resummon the spirits but Mindblades realize their weakpoints and come to kill all the spirits resummoned. That's why I was killed. ^_^
Any suggestion for me? Nobody reads this? *poor me*

What about taking a random skill with a short recharge, long cast time, let the spectres interrupt that, before you get off your proper skills?

I'm kind of fresh in the UW farming, but how do you take out aataxes with this build?

You can't kill those Aatxes with this build m8.
Soon there will be another build. (hopefully this week).

Tried it out just a little bit ago, works well, took me awhile to get used to the UW and where to stop at aggro spots. So far I've gotten 2 keys, 1 ecto, and a perfect 20/20 sword hilt.
I still can't kill the Coldfires yet, I'm bringing [skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill] instead of [skill]Desperation Blow[/skill]. How long does it take to kill them and how do you maintain energy when fighting them?
*edit* I killed them, takes really long, as long as you keep spamming Dolyak and Watch Yourself and VwK+VW (when energy is available) you can kill them. They haven't dropped any ecto, so I think it's a waste of time to kill them.
Oh and I just got 3 ecto in one run.
**edit** I find that using a furious weapon is quite handy.

Takes rly long. Better avoid em at all. For energy bring Zealous weapon and don't forget to run from Maelstroms.
zorbi
And coldfires don't drop ectos.
Ambuu
So far I've gotten 3 ectos in the like 200 runs I've done. But heck, that's 25k right there =D
This buils is pretty fun to use once you get the basics down.

I still get like 1 ecto each run..just don't do 5 runs in a row. After I've done 2 or 3 runs I go to my Full Tyria Solo Tour for some hours or I go to the Fissure of Woe.
joish
well would switching from toa to zin ku corridor or chanrty of secrets help the drops?
Croco Clouds
it's been a week i tried this build, it's easy, productive, safe. but not enough ectos

You can solo The Beach, The Spider Cave and The Forrest of the Wailing Lord as you can see in this thread with my W/Rit build
Destro Maniak
I read this topic again and understood you dont just solo the smite crawlers arourn well donno what it called looked wiki ice wastes or sometihng and you talk about midblades and stuff what else do we do in a smite run btw never become able to kill those coldfires I thought I might need to kill them to run pass to places to other creatures.
TY for help

Check video, u can see how to kill coldfires, smites, and run to bone pits and etc.
Btw u dont need to kill coldfires, just learn patrols.

good build, just started getting back into my warrior. im averaging about 1-2 globs per run (done about 30).
krypt1200
Im currently having problems with this build. VwK is freakin fool-proof and i dont die, but when i aggroed the 2nd group of smites, spammed all my attack skills, they started running away and healing them, and it became an endless battle. any ideas?
Shadowfox1125
Find a location where they can't run off. In one area there's a cave where you can run into and they'll follow you into it, but they can't run out.
Even though it's an endless battle, you should still end up being the victor.

Yeah it's kind of slow, but it's safe and it pays off when you get an ecto or 2 or 3 per run.

I won't call it incredibly slow, I call it less faster then the rest And..ah well it's one of the most safe ones..

I wouldn't call it slow either. At least I can do a run and my beer doesn't get warm.

two days ago i had an incredible spawn and got 16 smites into that little cave.. 4 minutes of flashing, i thought i was going to have a seizure

Weird, the night before I had no ecto drop (3 runs)
then last night, in one single run, I got 4 ectos + 1 max gold 15/-10 ar storm bow

I'm guilty of not going there yet Well you have about 8 single Banished Dream Riders, the spawn each 18 Mindblade Spectres (3, 6, 9) so 18+1=19 8x19= 152. Then you have 2 wailing lords and if you come close there will be 3 Mindblades spawning, also there are 2 banished dream riders with him (they do not spawn Mindblades), so:
152+ 2 (WL) + 6 (MS) + 4 (BDR) = 164 enemies in Chaos (around)
BTW. They all have a chance of ecto drop
