UW solo assassin style A/Me

Okay so, I was doing tombs with my assassin, and Rawlinson's shadowform build, and I wondered if It would work in uw.
I switched dark escape with shadow refuge, and thats it @_o.

Strategy
_____________
1) Go behind the staircases opposite of your target.
2) Equip the 20% enchants and Cast Shadow of Haste, and echo.
3) Before aggroing, cast Shadowform, and Empathy (make sure you have at least 10 energy before Empathy is done casting, and equip the zealous daggers.)
4) Cast Shadow Refuge, because of the Aatxe's Deadly Riposte, and start attacking
5) Attack normal until hit by Deadly Riposte, use Black lotus, Black Spider, and Twisting Fangs. Equip back the 20% enchants daggers.
6) Renew Empathy, Shadowform and shadow refuge. By now the Aatxe should have used Deadly Riposte again.
7) Use the combo one more time, and make sure that he does not dodge any of your skills.
8) If you do it right, you should have killed the Aatxe, and will teleport back in a few seconds. Sometimes you may not have done enough damage, but dont worry, he'll most likely die from poison + bleeding.
9) If he does not die, just repeat all steps, preferably before he regens all his hp.
10) Loot time! w00t w00t.

This works on Aatxes, Graspings, and Dyings. Thats all i've tried so far.

If I didn't make it clear enough, post your questions, i'll get a video and pics up soon.
Thanks!

So what's your method if a nightmare pops up while you fight the aataxes?

Next stop: DoA!
i just wish my friend was moving his sin through the game, or i might(GASP) have to make 1!

Dying nightmares die in 2 or 3 hits so its not really a problem.And yeah, Shadowform prevents all spells from being casted on you.

the smites will rip u apart-they use SoJ so u sill still get KD, Zelots Fire so u still take dmg, and mend condition so deep wound and other stuff wont work

if he brought ancestors visage the smites would have no energy?

Quote:

There's absolutely no point of bringing visage, with SForm, all attacks target you miss. And Visages only trigger when you are hit. I've thought of this build before. No go.

As above posters have stated- Smites use both SoJ and Zealot's Fire, along with Smite Hex and Mend Condition...you can't apply bleed and everything else will get removed as you're slowly ticked down by ZF via Reversals.

you could always do a spider run i guess

lol this doesnt seem to work in the UW does it :/

Well, I dunno what grasping your talking about, but the ones I killed didn't interupt me, or didn't follow me across the whole thing. But oh well =P

And yeah, clear the area of aatxes before getting the quest that brings in the graspings.

Works for me. =D
