Thanks for your help with the video. If you don't mind, once you get it up, I'd like to put it in the main guide.

I always take the right path anyway :P and its also possible to slip past the grasps that block the entrance to the planes by running past them while they run up to the other grasps.

Looks like a nice build and at least 5 ectos/run = 1k spent seems VERY nice, but umm...2 things...Dying nightmares, Dying nightmares and rubberbanding. ok, that's three things but you get my point...i blew out 20k + and didn't even get to see if i suck at terra tanking 
Back to smites only with safer builds...

Don't even bother waiting, i don't often even put the 4 into air that i need because i never did the second 15 att quest.
it just makes it so you have to use glyph before ob flesh and nothing else
easy

easy No, he is referring to the temporary nerf of Glyph of Concentration, which limits its usage to only one spell, rendering the Graspings harder to destroy.

Just Wait till the first knockdown by MS and cast bed of coals. Same result.

I know, as i said...
I don't always put any attributes into air anyway so i usually run with only 1 skill effected...it still works easily just make sure to time casts right...

Thank you so much jb. It is an excellent video. It clearly and effectively demonstrates the usage of the build and the run to the Chaos Planes. I posted it on the main page.

Very nice guide and video guys. I've decided to start farming for ectos, but I'll start with the W/Rt Smiteruns (I'm not very good at farming and quite unfamiliar with UW). Once I get a hang of it I will try this one. Thumbs up.
Ultimate Sacrifice
Excellent video, guide, and build. Chaos Planes is now my favorite area, I usually just used to do Smite Land (Ice Wastes) and average about an ecto each run. But Chaos Planes is an entire different story, plentiful Mindblade Spectres and Ecto to boot. Thanks again.
Ecto-Runner
lost about 40k...but now 3-6ekto/run, very nice

Great build! took me a while to get used to it, i still die frequently at the grasping darkness, but cupcakes can make it easier.
but i was wondering, is there a way to get from the Chaos planes to the Ice Wastes? So that you could continue with the smites after you cleared Chaos planes?
thanks

Well, clear the smites first then go to the chaos planes. Plain and simple.

Should i use prismatic insignas or blessed?
Scarn
I use Blessed, merely because of their application in other farms.
Resident
For this build I suggest the prismatic cause you ALWAYS meet the req. (9 earth and 9 fire)
Hey_homies
sweet i'll try this

First question: Do you guys first check mares in chamber? (agroing aaxteets and running away)
Second question: when you glear all grasp an you start your run towards ice wastes, how do get trough the grasp/mare + 2 aaxteet groups? Shoul i use glypht of swiftness and just run straight trough aaxteet, but not agro grasp/mare group?
Third question: on the run to chaos plain where and when does the charged blackness group come? At the last gate to chaosplains?

Third question: on the run to chaos plain where and when does the charged blackness group come? At the last gate to chaosplains? 1. No
2. Try to avoid them, if you need to aggro one group, aggro the one with aatxes.
3. They are right behind the first set of Obsidian Behemoths.

GoC is only there to deal with graspings, I guess ?
maybe you could go with heroes to clear graspings more easily (and aatxes maybe) and leave them in the first room after...
this way you could take one more skill in your bar to make it easier (I am unstoppable to counter charged shocks, or more fire nukes)
a big thank you to the OP, I must try this

Works nice when you get hang on it
Still one question: what do you do to the mares that spawn when you are running at the mountains? Stop and kill them and set enchantments upp?

tried this once last night, but no ectos for me, got disconnected after killing the second BDR

doragon
but don't you use stoneflesh aura? And ain't it pretty hard to run without speed boost and sa?
Bug John
I cast SA only when I'm in a safe spot, with NR, casting SA when targetted by more than one Behemot leads to a very painfull death 
with FDH, you can dodge Behemots
if you're holding a shield and a melee weapon, Behemots will rarely attack you anyway

very nice indeed, i see no point in doing smite run at all with this. Whether I'd do a smiterun with my ele, w/rt or w/me build, I'd get 0-2 ectos max outa the smites. I loaded donut tzar's build and a cupcake and ran to chaos planes with ease, popped the spawn map posted in the OP, and in 44 minutes, had 5 ectos. When i finished, (i cleared the chaos planes, and started bone pits but for some reason the threshers over a cliff were doing long range dmg to me and were hitting me for 34 dmg under stoneflesh ><) I had 9 ectos! Didn't look at time after i finished, so lets asumme somewhere close to the 1.5 hour mark (since i didn't finish the bone pits). Plus ~2.5k gold, dust and merch golds= lots more profit then smite run .
So one run netted me 44.8k+dust+merch food. My first run with this build ^_^. As a side note, anyone havin trouble with grasps like i did? First group was mowed down fine, but the next 2 groups both brought me close to death. And i was udner the effects of a cup cake, so if i hadn't brought one, I'd be toast

i never get ektos at the bone pits...
i always take damage by "whirlwind" at the spawning pools...
but always about 2 ektos now... bad :/

that's kinda lame... i have been farming smites aswell, haven't done it to chaosplains yet xD Just need some more training Grasp die quite easyli, you just need to agro them to the right place. Last run i used 15 min on grasps lol^-^ while to the running middle i allways run too far or not far enough... but still i survive by running behing the ghost :P

First things first: Thank you for a great build, my warrior can retire now lol.
I did some minor changes to make it easier for me.
I use cupcake for running cause you dont have to stop to cast and you can take inferno to do more damage. And it only costs 125g for one so...
Grasps are easy, even with the nerfed [skill]Glyph of concentration[/skill] you just have to cast [skill]bed of coals[/skill] on the first knockdown and [skill]inferno[/skill] on the second kd. But what I do is take 3 necro heroes, one curses and 2 resto (slightly modified sabs) and kill them that way.
It's not really faster but it lets me take [skill]Glyph of lesser energy[/skill] instead of [skill]Glyph of concentration[/skill] which means I have no energy issues in chaos plains so I do the run significantly faster.

grasp interrups are no problem with GoC, you don't even need to cast BoC on knockdown. Cast FDH at the third knockdow and grasping won't even scatter.
