OK, So I guess you can call me a experinced trapper, i can solo the uw with the echo dust trap build in NM...
Just wondering if i can solo UW with the same set up?

I don't think it will work. Builds that do work are Me/Mo Illusionary Weaponry, N/Mo Spiteful Spirit/Suffering and probably some other X/Mo builds with Spirit Bond, used when your Healing Breeze is interrupted. Also Rt/Mo can clear the Aatxes but that build has trouble doing the Graspings.

I doubt you could solo trap them, though a duo run should work

when ever I do hm (rarely as trapper), I normally do it with 2 other trappers (1-2 rez skill users), that use a speed trapper build (1 trapper ) or semi solo builds. however 2 trappers could probably do hm.

Think that Me/Mo build would work Mo/Me?

I don't see how it's worth the trouble - rare materials are exempt from loot scaling, so your odds of picking up Ecto's don't increase in HM, unless you can also kill the Aatxes for their drops.
ReZ's 330 Rt/Mo can do it, never tried myself so i can't vouch for it.

The only problem with rezdog's hm build, like any monk based build is dying nightmares, that strip monk skills (rend enchantments) =dead + even with the nightmare pulling technique (taking a few steps on stairs to find close nightmares) the build can be prone to interupts of VWK.

2 trappers works fine. One regular echo duster and one with Escape to pull Graspings and Arcane Mimicry.
/Mo or Mo/x isn't that great because Dying Nightmares take more than a staff hit or two to kill.

but loot scaling is affected by the number of people in your party, not whether you are in HM or not. Hopefully you find this is enlightening and helpful unlike others, who might see this as an insult to their intelligence(s)

Antithesis is right in saying the 330 Rt/Mo can do it, watch out for the super nightmares though. If you have a warrior, you can use the VwK build, which in my experience is faster than solo monking, solo rits, and illusionary mes, although you can't kill the aatax. Taking into account the 1k entrance fee, I still think the VwK warrior is highest plat/hour yield though.
Dunno if this was just a bragging thread of your trapping abilities, or you really wanted to know about solo trapping or whatnot, but hopefully this is useful.
