ign:bog fighter If your Absorbtion rune on your chest? because that's where you're taking most of your shots. Also, the Exalted Aegis has -5(20%) modifier, IIRC. That's not the best mod for this run, since you know you'll you'll always be in a stance/enchanted. Get a shield that has a solid -2 (stance) or -2 (enchanted) mod, and this will work.

btw, if you happen to have a -2/-2 shield, you can drop PR altogether and just bring "Dodge This!" or "I am the Strongest!" or something like that. A lot more damage, and I finished a run in about 6.5 minutes with it.

Use physical resistance. No dmg no matter how your runes are set up.

great build idea, i have only been familiar with the warrior's endurance W/Me build, and it was meh. this build seems to raep on a large scale, so i hope i'll eventually level up my war.

can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have sup abs (on chest) all the runes you said, weapon has +7 shelter, shield is a collector you linked to. Yet I'm still taking a steady 3 dmg from smites, and I can't seem to kill the entire group before those -3's add up to my death...

My first run i got to smites, mass aggro'd, died ;\ I have all the armor and junk exactly as you posted, but I didn't know that having Sup Absorb on your chest mattered. I have on my Legs atm, don't wanna risk remmoving Sup Vigor off my armor :S I'm getting a 0-3 dmg every now and then

It does not matter on which armor part the sup absorption rune is, its effect is global.

Yeah, sup absorp is global...no need to buy more armor guys


Also, if you RUBBERBAND (find yourself being hit by a swarm of beasties you apparently ran past):
I found myself able to avoid any rubberbanding by not trying to cut corners; when I need to run past aatxes, I run so that the spiky, black beasties are between the wall and me. Try it out and see if it works for you. I hope it does.

Icy:Graspings - use bonnetis for energy + blocking first interupts Running + Gathering Smites (+7 armor and 1 pip of energy regen goood)
Zealous:If dying when killing grapsings with icy + bonnetis, Switch to this and use physical resistance. When Fighting the smites.

Since this build has no self-heal, how many groups of Graspings can you pull without dying? o_O

To start run always pull with sprint, stop, charge up bonnetis , use it and visage (small chance of interupt - charge try again)

Icy dmg is best to graspings, but gains no energy unlsess combined with bonneti's = stance taken up so no physical resistance.

Use the icy weapon/bonnetis with visages

and if you go below say 200hp,

Use The zealous weapon/physical resistance with visages.

I use a -2/-2 Sheild so i never switch to zealous on graspings, but it is possible to do it without the zealous. aswell with a -2(stance) sheild.

Its not all that hard once you know what to do -
Activate quest
  • Run to right staircase (from point of view at very start) Watch the graspings on the left go up the corner and the middle ones head over to where the left ones were. As you watch the group on the top right will come down infront of you. Just before the middle group reach where the left ones were you pull the right ones and then sprint down the stairs and go up the left stairs and pull the other 2 groups of graspings (the left ones would join with the middle ones on the stairs). (its shown on my vid btw)

    it works bro.. weekend came.. and i spent maybe 5k and i got just under 20 ectos and the 5k i spent was made up with the drops from graspings nd the other smites that didnt drop ectos... got 3 ectos in one run... seems everytime i go in now i expect 1 ecto

    truly is a good build and i agree i have seen other versions which are just outdated coz of nerfs... try create one that can solo aaxtes aswell as smites.. i got close but no cigar..

    cheers
