Tips:

The Graspings and Running:The only skills you can acauly use here if your lazy is PS and sprint + attacks
Use sprint to pull them 1 group at a time into the main circle (they follow and the axxtes stop and go back) If using visages here (not realy required) cast before pulling.
once you have cleared the chamber run to the opened doors on the right (watch out for the 2 axxtes who patrol by the enctrace every min)
Im sure you'll find a way to make the sprint/enraging charge work for you here, its not hard, you just gotta get up the smites
Smites:Keep your visages up and get PS and dolyak signet up before they start to hit, take 1 group a time since its easier and also less stressful and same speed.
Spam your attacks according to thier discriptions
watch out for coldfire patrols (a few mins of watching on one run can make a massive different to the runs difficulty making things so much easier and faster)

Captain Arne's build looks like it could work.

I'm doing it right now while watching Everybody Loves Raymond.. And I'm using Gladiator's Armor and some crappy hammers..

I'd suggest a Zealous of Enchanting, and Knight's Armor.

Ok ok ok..


DO NOT FORGET YOUR ELEMENTAL HAMMER!

I forgot mine and.. it took me almost 30 minutes to kill the Graspings. I was watching tv, but still.. 30 minutes is a lonng time.

lol yeah with my icy one i takes me round 4-5 mins to clear the chamber (I'll make a vid today some time)

No yeti smash in there? Easy AoE damage

mantra of resolve crude swing!

Is icy better than other elemental mods?

dunno, but it makes me happy so i never changed or tested others, I think they all work ok =]

Looks like a nice build to give people who sick of dealing with Nightmares a break, lol. I think I still prefer the E/Me build, but will have to give this a try sometime.

nice, now i can do a ful lsolo UW with all my weapons , nice goign dude

aoe damage doesnt work as you would like to, i've tried 100blades on my sword version, sometimes they just scatter, regain energy, start casting = dead you :P
