Have you gotten to the point of being able to take out 9 Mindblades at once with any certenty?

Behemots - do they drop ectos? Do we know?

Behemots - do they drop ectos? Do we know? No I can not kill those Mindeblades with this build, but I can (and did) it with a other build:

Behemots do not drop ecto's, but there is a chance that they drop a gold item.

Well, unlocked it using Balthazar's faction and got it.

Is there some place to test this build out before entering the Underworld?

I tried the Trolls Cave, but it has too many trolls for aggro and the build doesn't seem to work then.

Thanks

just to get timing down i'd do nolani, but they are pushovers. i use versions of this build to farm verman, slave spirits, dragon moss, and spiders in the refuge.

Thanks jbwarrior. I finally made it to the chaos planes. I took a wrong turn and quickly had every Dream Rider in the place chasing me around in big circles.

Desperation/Drunken Blow are used for that reason. You have to get Bleeding on them.

Ishy's first UW warrior farm run: success!

I finally got bored farming SS/LB points this weekend, so I decided I'd finally try my hand at UW farming. (Yeah, I've been playing since beta and I've only been to UW once before. Go ahead, laugh with me now. XD) Tried the E/Me Sandstorm build first - failed. The squids spaced their DB's too well and I could never get my spells off reliably. Heard about this build, read up here, decided I'd try one of the simpler versions for smites only (the one given here)

Killed the squids, killed the smites, got an ecto. =D

Ishy is happy. Unfortunately, it is Ishy's bedtime, and he will have to wait until tomorrow to try it again.

Hm..it's still worth in NM since the drop-rate update doesn't afflict Globs of Ectoplasm. Although I haven't tried HM yet I've heard that it still works

I was just wondering if you are still able to kill the mindblades with this build Witte.... If so can you explain how? I'm looking to expand my farming abilities to more than just the smites. I can make it to the chaos plains no problem. but i get pwned about every time i go up against a dream rider. when i do kill the dream rider out of pure dumb luck I get pwned by the mindblades. Any help here would be great

The W/Rt solo UW build was designed for smite farming. Not coldfires(why would you waste your time on them anyway?) or Aaxte.

Well is the build changed in any way from the first page?

Is it doable with different equipment?...say knights templar armor.

I don't understand why you need gladiator's armor... why would it matter? Why not templar or platemail or whatever..

^Because when this guide was made you could not add insignias to tyrian armour and glads was the only one with +energy.

For Behemoths, wait for the patrol of Charged Blackness to leave. Then just hit Sprint and run through. If you get crippled... well, they don't do any real damage so just heal it off with Healing Signet.

I don't get how you kill the groups of 9 Mindblades... I can't get a single VmK off, and spamming Vengeful Weapon to stay alive takes forever to kill them and eventually I run out of energy.

Witte has done a great job and im sure with this thread being over a year old he may decide to bring upto date.I say this as in 1 yr im sure anet has added new AI and even changed armor setup and nerfed skills.
If he does decide to update im sure a lot of us are eagerly awaiting

Can anyone tell me what is the point for desperation blow? I only read that its used to kill coldfires, but they can be avoided so easily.

Take [skill]Signet of Stamina[/skill] or [skill]Feel No Pain[/skill] instead of it; more leeway against Mindblade Spectres (although I still can't kill the groups of 9....argh)

I picked up this build v.recently too, 8 ectos so far after approx 10-15 runs. Yes ecto-less runs are annoying but from all the discussion on the board, nothing surprising.
Personally i've found that knights insig help more than radiant generally and yes the behemoths blocking is a pain, ive only got that 2 times out of 15 say so no real problem. Got to the Chaos plains for the first time on my last run (this is the v.first time i went UW so didnt know the right routes etc) so im still learning really so im happy with my 8 ectos plus 9/10 times I get back my entrance fee from white merch drops.

It would be nice if Witte has time to update though ;o)

Any hints killing mindblades? I just gave this a try and faced a group of 3 mindblades, they keep getting off aggro and interrupts on VwK makes the dmg kinda slow and they regen. I used a small variation of skills; VwK, Vengeful Wep, Resilient, Dolyak Sig, Bonettis, Sprint, Stamina Sig, and "For Great Justice".

FGJ isnt a necessity so Im thinking of swapping it for something for the mindblades.

A vid of the w/rt killing mindblades would b helpful

I've found out how to kill 9 Mindblade Groups; however, it's not really time-efficient. The E/Mo, A/Me, and R/N are better.

Basically, you need Knight's Insignia, a -3/hexed shield with +7 armor vs physical damage. This will reduce all incoming damage to 0.

You also want a dual 20/20 set; I use Droknar's Restoration Focus and a Restoration Focus from the Leviathan Pits crafter.

The following bar is what I recommend.
[skill]Sprint[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Feel No Pain[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill][skill]Bonetti's Defense[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Signet of Stamina[/skill]
12 Restoration, 11+2+1 Strength, 6+1 Tactics

Against groups of 3 just cast VmK when hexes expire on you. During that time they will be busy recasting and thus will most likely not interrupt you (if they do don't worry, they won't kill you). You can also use the method below but I find it more time consuming and unnecessary.

Against 4+, you'll want to exploit some strange feature that Mindblades have. First off, cast VmK before you aggro them, and then run towards them. This will deal some damage to all of them. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DAMAGE THEM!!! Then, approximately every 20 seconds or so, a group of the Mindblades (<1/2) will break off and run away to about half radar range. A few seconds later, all the remaining Mindblades except one will break off and run away, and the Mindblades that ran away earlier will come back. THIS IS WHEN YOU CAST VMK!!!!! While they are running, they have the smallest chance of interrupting you. Most of the time you will get it casted; occasionally it will be interrupted but don't worry.

Feel No Pain will neutralize their degen for 12/15 seconds. Dolyak Signet and your weapons and insignia make them do 0 damage with attacks. Use Vengeful Weapon to heal any damage that gets through, but use it sparingly or you will run out of energy.

Note that this isn't really worth it, it takes about 15 minutes to clear a Dream Rider + Mindblade wave. But it's still doable.
