With the right attack sequence, you can kill them within 3 visages.

Visage -> Cyclone Axe -> Whirlwind Attack -> Triple Chop -> Whirlwind Attack -> Cyclone Axe -> Whirlwind Attack -> Repeat, starting with visage.

Or in number form, 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 3 .. smites should be dead

or use echo instead of triple chop to echo whirlwind attack. for nonstop damage and self recharge.

I use:
Triple Chop | Whirlwind Attack | Sympathetic Visage | Ancestor's Visage | Physical Resistances | Enrahing Charge | Bonetti's Defense | Lion's Comfort

I swapped out Cyclone Axe for Lion's Comfort, purely because I wanted some healing. Ofcourse it takes longer to kill them, but I'm alive. You could also buy an Armor of Salvation for each run, as you get +1 Health Regen, +10 Armor and -5 Damage Reduction, but then you are looking at spending huge amounts on money for it.

Another thing to remember is run backwards if you are gathering smites, this way they don't get damage bonus for hitting you from the back whilst you run.

I have been pretty successful with this build, but I was wondering, how many visages do you do (while sitting there letting the smites attack you) until you are sure they are out of energy? I usually do 2.

2 groups: 5 seconds
3 groups: 2 seconds
4+ groups: instant

damn this build is nice. got a couple good runs in but no ectos or golds
my only problem is running around and getting groups in underworld since im not familiar with uw at all :/

i can always clear the graspings but when i try running to the smites i always die by aatxes or coldfires....gotta play in uw a bit more..

I tried it only once yestarday cause I didn't have much time. Killed Graspings, got to smites no problem and then I was like wtf. Tried to pull smites away from coldfires but they just wouldnt follow. Tried few times and they break aggro almost instantly. Eventually I died to coldfires... When I watched your video the smites were glued to you and wouldnt let go no matter what O.o

I'll try again today when I get back from work but It was weird.

They won't follow you with that on.

I'm having a lot of trouble for some reason...I can't even get past the graspings, I always, always, always pull an aatxe that tears me apart.

Wondering how you pull that part, watched the video, but I can't see it that well. I can't seem to find a group of graspings not sitting on an aatxe group.

to pull only the graspings and not the cows, you should just have to use sprint or enrage charge. After a few seconds the aatxe should break off pursuit leaving you with just the graspings.

Note: in HM the aatxe won't break off since they will have the intrinsic speed boost from HM.

An easy way to pulling the graspings is too target Bento, use Enraging Charge, run forward and once you've aggroed them (and any Aataxe) press space bar to auto head back to Bento. This should break aggro with the Aataxe (but may also break aggro with oen of the grasping groups).

Alternatively just use the X-R method.

i was wondering if you could list each rune and insignia on each part of armor. That way i get it absolutly correct and stop wasting my precious plat on failed attempts (50k wasted on a stupid uw solo rt/w build and it didnt even work) <not including the armor.

This is what I have:
Knights <type> Helm of Major Axe Mastery
Knights <type> Cuirass of Superior Absorbption
Knights <type> Gauntlets of Minor Strength
Knights <type> Leggings of Superior Absorbption
Knights <type> Boots of Minor Tactics

The Superior Absorbption should be on the Cuirass and Leggings, because they have a higher chance of taking a hit.

I first got this build
spent 20k in donations, all of which ended in death...

Q.Q'd and /ragequitted the run for awhile...

Came back to it yesterday, just for shits'n giggles....
Had a 3 ecto 1 ruby run
a bit later...
4 ectos and a gold run...
then to top it off: 5 ectos and 2 golds in 1 run

Needless to say my opinion of this run has improved
