OK, i have derv as my primary and i am in dire need for some ectos for FOW armor, so my question is next (for ppl that ACCTUALLY tried builds out):
-what build is currently very best for purpose above?
-how many ectos u average per run?
-how long does a run take?
-is it worth my time at all? (not willing to spend 1k entrance fee and 2 hrs of my life for like 1 ecto)

Thnx in advance

i don't have an UW solo build for dervish, though about farming ectos, most of the time you'll drop two or one, or none at all (my best run so far was when got 3 ectos and 2 phantom keys and 2k worth of loot). that's me farming the smite crawlers in UW using a W/Rt build. But you'll get your 1k back through gold coin and rare weapon loots.

Can't remember the attributes, but at 9 myst and enough wind prayers so rending aura recharge just as it expires

Profit and length is a about the same as W/Rt but WAAAAAY more risky. One nightmare at the wrong time will definately kill you.

I've seen a build with

D/Mo
avatar of balthazar
eternal aura
mystic regeneration
farmers scythe
essence bond
balthazars spirit
rending aura
mystic vigor

for the smite run, it's a pretty safe run, easy to learn it might only be a bit slower. It uses the same principe as the other build but it uses avatar of balthazar for tha armor, speed boost.
furthermore I believe (but I don't know sure) that holy dmg is double dmg vs smites??
could ne1 confirm this?
