Now what i finds weird is, i do get less crappy drops which add up to my entrance fee (merch food), but when i do get good drops, they realy show, like before i had 2 ectos + 1 scroll drop and a key from a group of around 18 smites, its like handing the good stuff in a run at once, I also have done a run with pure sword one on one fast killing 1 at a time to gain all drops, i got alot more crappy stuff, but around the same ectos. so this means that: this run does not lower ecto/golds/key drops, just crappy drops

So realy you get more good stuff over time ^^ ... if im right that is maybe you just got lucky with 2 ectos in the same run? i mean...i vwk alot and i barely get 1 ecro per run...and killing 18 smites at once shouldnt be helping...are u sure you're not just reffering to one or two lucky times? XD
(and again don't get me wrong..this build is ownage XD)

Just wanted to say this build works great and thanks for sharing, my current best run tim is only 12 minutes but I have only done it a few times, ive been farming titles so i can have leather bound books =P
I found this funny, my first run i tried this build was my fastest run, and in that run i got 5 keys 2 ectos and a gold storm bow + like 2k in merch food no joke it was funny, after that the drops kept getting worse and worse lol

I wish I remembered the screenshot function. This is my first build that I've used since I started GW on my freetime again...
I love it, its insanely easy as long as you never get that lag ><
I got 6 ectos in one freik run. I was able to go from having 10k in funds to get me into UW to buying my warrior an FOW helm in 1 week.
haha

Every try in HM?

I don't understand the weapons that you need.

Those weapons with icy mod and those weapons with a zealous mod? is that what you need?

Where do you find weapons with icy mods?

thanks.

thanks. well your obviously gonna have to upgrade them yourself, i just gave locations collectors for the weapon. you would need to find yourself the added mods through farming or buying, like most UW builds, your Need the correct equipment.

Thanks for the build. Works like a charm. I really hate rubberband though and with those fat cows in the beginning it's pretty annoying. Thanks again.

I rly dunno why but this does not work for me, i have an axe with +7A against physical Demage, full Knight Armor, Sup Absorp and a -2^Stance Shield.

I managed it to get to the smites and i killed the first 2 Groups, then i lured 2 or 3 Mobs and they pwnd me...

My Sup Absorp is on the leg or the feet, dunno. But i read that the effect is global.

this is a verry easy to master build, good job on making it man. Just dont use phys ressistance during the agro of the smites, they might cast Reversal just b4 theyre first hit (wich is around 33 dmg cause of youre -20 armor, zealots fire ftw?) so just w8 until most of them are almost hitting you and then hit PR.

thanks, but acauly they wont use reversal of fortune unless they dont have full heath (which only happens after they go canibal on each other) so dont agro groups which are still recovering from a fight.

0 dmg most of the time, 0 and 1's (with -2/-2) and 0 and 3's with -2 , i do runs with -2 and -2/-2 so i know what a run with both is like.
The vid with done with the same stats as you =]

lol, -2/-2 nice!

I think thats an old bug or something like that, cause -2 isnt aviable as an upgrade...

Ill try it again soon... les see if it works now.

another tip to speed this run up, is take 3 heros who you play on leaving at spawn and only kill graspings while you aggro them all
then just flag them to stay at spawn or kill them even and finish the smites who actually drop the ectos

Hey, these builds look really nice and I will certainly try it in the next few days. But I got a question about the equipment: Aren't the Sentry Insignias(+10AL while in a stance) better than the Knights Insignias(received physical damage -3)?

no -3 is better, it kinda reduces the remaing small dmg from Physical resistance down to 0's 1's and 3's but with sentry it would be like 4-5's ...

I still don't understand the stats of the shield. Is it -4 (2+2) physical (or all damage types) damage unconditionally? Or -2 physical damage while in a stance AND -2 physical damage while enchanted? I have never heard of a shield like that. How much is it?

OK back in the day ... well about a year or 2 ago -2/-2 sheilds used to drop and -2/-3 sheilds

they could have 2 reduction stats

-2 (stance) -2 (enchanted)
-2 (stance) -3 (hexed)
-2 (enchanted) -3 (hexed)

I've had a -2/-2 drop for and still use it (tactics) and i bought a -2/-2 strength one a while ago. they dont drop anymore and are still going up in price.

although because of the advantage i made my video with a -2 (stance) sheild so it shows it can be done with that too.

I've tried it a couple of times but even if you manage for them to not pull the aatxes, they're gonna pull your grasps and ruin your mass aggro.

Also while the effect of absorption rune is supposedly global, it has been tested and proven that you take less damage when it's on your chest.

my best with heros = 2 mins
solo best is 3 mins

the idea is you let them kill them so you can just focus on aggroing fast and then killing half weakened graspings

If people are worried about self healing i suppose you could swap out an attack for lions comfort?
I can't see there being a major problem with lions comfort in the build but it will make killing slower.

Or for fun a vamp sword just throwing wild thoughts at ya because i still have not tried it out yet

For those who don't have Nightfall and don't want to spend 50 dollars just to get one or two skills for this build try just using,
triple chop
cyclone axe
channeling
SV
AV
Physical resistance
Sprint
Bonneti's
It works well compared to other skills I've tried to put in as a sub for whirlwind.
