The Run
Well as most of you may have guessed, it follows just about every other solo smite farming build... Take Clear the Chamber > Kill Grasps > Run to smites > Kill smites > resign > do it again.... and again... and again
Killing is done primarily with Unholy feast in combination with Glads Defense... Barbed Signet (recharging in 20s) is a good finisher for a lone remaining smite or Dying Nightmare (+ a couple sword hits).
With no +energy runes, I am doing the run with 20 energy, which is perfect, as it allows me to cast Unholy feast (15energy) followed by one of the stances, Glads or Shield Stance.
Graspings:
Cake as always, I can usually clear the chamber in an average of 4 minutes. Sprint and pull them to the middle of the chamber. Glads Defense > Unholy Feast > Wack away to fill adrenaline for bonnettis. Wait for UF to recharge, Bonnettis > UF >shield stance > Barbed Signet... rinse repeat.
Smites
The key to smite killing is to get into a pattern with UF, attacking/To the Limit (to fill bonnettis), and usage of Glads Defense. When aggroing a group of smites, I usually lure them with Barbed Signet, and when they get close UF. From here on you have many ways to do it, but keeping your adrenaline up is a must, as it fuels your biggest self heal (UF at 12 blood is 52 stolen health from 3 enemies) through the use of bonnettis and allows you to switch between shields/glads stance. **Note** Most damage you will suffer will be DURING the duration of Gladiators Stance, as it triggers their use of RoF. To Combat this: #1) spam heal sig, and #2) attack/"To the Limit" to fill adrenal gauge for Bonnettis > UF > Shield stance > more spams of Healing signet. Do Not use Glads if you are dangerously low on health... just run around until shield stance recharges > then heal in safety**
Always try to be in a stance, and feel free to fire off barbed signet whenever it recharges. If you ever (this is inconsequential after you figure out the patterns of stances and UF) find yourself to be in a bind, low on health or out of energy... Just Run around! damage is minimal and it allows shield stance to recharge, allowing you to spam heal sig in safety. First priority is to refill adrenaline or get to 5 energy for "to the limit" > bonnettis > UF. From there, you are back in action.
In Closing:
I hope this provides all those Prophecies** only characters (like myself) an opportunity to farm for ectos like the mobs of W/Rt flooding the UW
