A quick question, is it still do-able with A/E fire build?

Well before the halloween quests it was an I don't think it's been changed too much. It is quite slow though...

God you guys are useless... it's not hard to give a straigh answer, and 1k is a lot to some pp, not many, but it's their opinion.

Anyways. I think it's still doable, perhaps a bit slower, so long as you take extra care around the skeletons of dhuum.

It's still quite do-able, you just have to watch where you are now, and your pulls. You also can't get 1-2 groups, depending on the spawn. It's also a tad bit slower due to patrols, but I've still done <30 minute runs.

Based on the fact that OP mentioned the time & 1K, it won't work..

I thought a BU is needed as well....

Yes it should still work, it will be a little harder to get too with the addition of the skeletons but still do-able.

And in the end, 1 group I missed because it's covered with skeles, and the other two I missed because I hit my vamp equip by accident while I was still at negative HP. Once I did hit the planes, my HP never went above 75, so yes, it's still quite do-able - Almost exactly the way it was before.

You can make it to plains with no problems, just like before, the skeleton from first chamber can be avoided easily. Nasty part is when you get there, maybe my bad luck, but almost half the mobs from plains were covered with skeletons

Well that is hardly "Almost exactly the way it was before" seeing as you are only doing 2/3 of the groups in the same time.

I've only been to uw a few times since update, but looks to me like the group in the middle has 2 or 3 skeles around it and it's not possible to kill the banished with fire build. My guess is that going as a sliver sin in HM would be the better option now.

My guess is that going as a sliver sin in HM would be the better option now. Well, 2 of those 3 groups where due to an accident with my vamp wep. The last group was the one in the middle, which I mentioned. So it may be a minute or two slower, but it's still a pretty fast/easy way to get ecto if you know what you're doing.

Personally, I just DoA now.
