Posted in gwbbcode. Does "DSWay" stand for [[Dolyak Signet], or what? I'm not a great fan of warriors with staffs, but if it works for you, go for it.

Grasps are a bit slow, thats the longest part of the run, the smites are just stupidly easy

You can also buy a other armor piece just for the Graspings with +3tactic next to the +3strength so that you get skill4 of 3sec instead of 2sec.

So I went out and tried this build of over and over yesterday just to see how it worked in practise. The concept itself is amazing. Works like a charm. However a few things I want to point out in hopes that it makes your run more efficient.

I replaced WARY STANCE with Tryptophan Signet.

I felt having Bonetti's and Wary Stance was a lil redundant and by adding Tryptophan Signet I now have a 20sec snare (my ebon rank is max) in case anything scatters. Scattering does happen from time to time as I have noticed.

Also to speed up the killing of graspings you can bring a scythe to fuel Bonetti's more often which in turn acts as emanagement and a cover for your Lava Font spamming. The more you can cover Lava Font the more often you can spam it. After numerous runs I found it more efficient to use a scythe in place of Wary Stance to fuel my adrenaline thus freeing up a slot which I promptly added Tryptophan Signet to the mix.

These are just minor changes I made to adapt to my play style. The build you have listed is fine as is but hopefully my adaptation will be of use to someone.

Ya I know......using Bonetti's can be hit or miss at times and it doesn't guarantee you won't get interupted. If you're not comfortable with not having Wary then it's just as good to leave it in.

Who said anything about doing one group at a time? This farm is very very old. Most of it is standard procedure. Besides graspings make up only a small fraction of the run. Speeding up the run as a whole is more efficient then just focusing on getting past the graspings.

I tested it abit, and tried some other skills.
I think the best is to
REMOVE DOLYAK SIGNET
and replace that with
GLYPH OF ELEMENTAL POWER.
I found that you will have more then enough armor with Defy pain,
AND when you use the Glyph at the smites, they wont get the chance to flee from your aoe so you wont have to recast lava font or wand em :O
AND it SUX to still have dolyak on while the mob is dead...

(made this conclusion after about 10 runs.)

Since it has got a score of 2.90 at pvxwiki they are gone remove this build. So first I want to thank the flamers who gave me 0points there. And ask other people to rate it. So that it can get atleast 3.70points. And wont be removed. I works so why remove it? But if they remove it they will remove it. Therefor I will copiepast it here. For people who still want to use it. Or if they nerf old builds:

This build uses Defy Pain and Dolyak Signet to get as good as no damage. And it uses High damage AoE skills to solo Smites in the underworld. One run takes +- 10min.
