Kathandax Dungeon Solo

Hey
Was wondering if anyone uses this build or a similar one and I just wanted a couple of tips because for some reason its just not working for me :/

I don't use my assassin that often so I wanted to get it back in play and find a few fun things to do with it.

Anyway, using this build and set up exactly as it says . . .

I've got no problem with the running and the theory behind the build, I just cant kill the damn wurm. I'm either doing something really stupid or its been nerfed overnight because I'm doing soo little damage that the wurm actually gets back to full health before the vanguard skills have recharged :/

The only thing I can assume is that I need a higher vanguard rank, its pretty low, but it dosnt say anywhere that it is essential that it is a certain rank? So I don't know, any tips would be great.

Thanks

You are using Essence of Celerity right to actually run this build....?
Also higher vanguard rank would help but not required. I tend to bring a hero with balth spirit to help with the energy etc just flag him out of range but not so far it cancels balth

Yeh, everything It says on that page I'm doing.

Can the assassin die from damage? or cant it only time out?
It seems as though it gets taken out with worm siege. So only lasts a few seconds. :/

Yes it can take damage and also what is your Ebon Vanguard Rank the higher the rank the easier you can kill the worm.

you should be using your daggers or spear to hit the worm with honor up anyways, and always carry a summoning stone it will speed it up much faster.

Rank was only 2 at the time, but as it didn't specify I didn't think it mattered, 3 now and I'm trying again.

as Superraptors stated i always used a summoning stone when killing any of the bosses to help speed things up along with maintaining Honor

Yeh true, although I'm starting to think this run isn't very profitable now
I didn't realise how much it cost in consumables to get to the end, I'm starting to think its unlikely to pay for itself, unless the unique weapons r quite common :/

Moved to Elite Endgame. Also the only way this run pays for itself is if you run other people for money.
