Inspired by Sno's Underworld Domination, Avarre Mnestris (Nimruzir Dharos), Got Lah (Forth Eorlingas) and myself have taken it upon ourselves to 3 man all of the Fissure of Woe. Although, due to some technical difficulties we haven't been able to complete clear the area as of yet. So far we've done up to Restore the Temple of War in just under 2 hours with the 3 of us.
I have been told I use hacks since there was no way I could've timed Skull Crack this well. Also note Dazed is very easy to recognize now:
Note that my skill set normally has Smite Hex on it... but I just got back from Tombs and was too lazy to change.
FoW Domination!... Kinda

By technical difficulties = Forth Eorlingas lagging out / suddenly being busy IRL and leaving during the run ^^
No longer do members of SMS have to rely on forming groups to get armor... hehe...

Well I was... I know you guys are in it for the lewt. 
From the trips that we've done... either we have amazing luck or you get better drops with a small team. Recent expedition had a net total of 12 shards, 1 ruby, and 2 rares just for the standard quests to craft armour.

It's not exactly hard to figure out
We won't give out our builds as of yet... give us some time to play around with them first.
*cough* You can tell almost all of Forth's build from Racthoh's screenshots anyway

Thats admirable, I have been farming with sno quite a bit and someone who finds something they like can definitely dent a large part of this game with a small number of people. Grats to trying to be the best. I would like to try and farm with you sometime, probably wont happen but who knows.
but who knows.

I think I'll go the way of Strider's view on "Building a Better Warrior" that he wrote a while back. Examine the area that you'll be facing, and put together the build based on the knowledge of what skills you'll be up against. You know you'll need a lot of offense to compete in areas with two shadow monks will be using Heal Area and Word of Healing on each other for starters.

Well, there isn't already a screenshot of us there, so I'll put this one up.
I'd just like to say I have a freakin' huge amount of firepower. GG.
update : We were going further in that direction but Forth lagged while Racthoh was detonating traps, causing him to be vaporized. Then we lost favor

Hot damn, that's some nice work.
SMS always comes out with the best stuff....
lol, congrats
I've noticed that you guys offer a UW Spider catching service..
Have you thought of offering this?
Because I personally find it horrible to get stuck in shitty pug's while going for the Forgemaster.
The only possible problem that I could see is that it takes too long to get to the Forgemaster..
Anyway, very nice work..

Well I have two of your builds, but your will be much harder considering you blacked out health and mana. Though when I get home tonight I will figure it out. The first time I tried geting your monks build I didn't know max morale is +2 so all my equations were thrown off, but I have an idea of yours right now. I'll PM one of you 3 tonight.

Once we finish the entire FoW with a 3-man team, we are considering offering a forgemaster service (after we finish all, we probably show the builds as well). Our usual run to forge is around 1.5-2 hours, and our charge (due to only 3 of us clearing) would probably be somewhat lower than other available prices.
Although as said, it's not exactly hard to guess the builds

Nice job. Can't wait to see how you handle the tougher areas in the back. Keep it up.

That looked like a lot of fun! Great job! Now to await the next group to do a 3-man run in Tombs.

We've tried, but the aggro of insanities/grasps tends to split badly on us in the end of first area. I think further work on that will have to wait till we finish with FoW

Actually the time can be very fast depending on how well I time Skull Crack on some groups (which isn't very difficult anymore when you know when they're going to heal). I know we've had instances where I only have to use Dolyak Signet once, and the mob was dead just before it recharged. With 3 guys, I would say that's rather fast.
Something tells me Nature's Renewal might do a number on us... or those groups around the Tower of Strength. But, who knows. As long as I don't step into traps after our monk lags for a second we should be good.

Quest complete!
Chilling at the Windmill..
Cleared army of darkness and the burning forest, wasn't actually that hard, took about 2h20.
Note that I've changed class to N/Mo, slight loss in firepower but there are more important benefits, especially in the higher areas. Also note that it doesn't effect the part of the run I did as N/E (could still bring down liches and 2monk teams, including dual-smokewalker group)
We were going to loop through forge and finish Tower of Strength, but Forth died to a shadow beast, Racthoh got stuck and I lagged slightly running away and abyssals caught me
So leave that for another few days.
got lah
Keke, just griffon, Tower of Strength, Wailing Lord, Khobay and The Hunt left.... GG =)

i think people are focusing too much on the build itself without realizing that it's not just the build but the people playing them. i went into fow last night with avarre (nimruzir dharos from the 3-man team) and 2 other guildies (granted, a 4-man team isn't as impressive as 3-man), and we spent all of 2 sec discussing the build. it kinda went like this in toa4:
me: what build should we go with?
avarre: random. rdy?
me: *shrugs* sure.
it was kinda random and we went with whatever we felt like. we still managed to clear everything leading up to and including the forgemaster. we had a few mishaps, but nothing too bad. anyway, to reiterate what rac said, instead of spending time to figure out *our* builds, take the time to go through your skills list and what you are up against to come up with your build. if you'll notice, rac has gone in as w/me and w/mo, and i went as a w/e. avarre has gone as n/e and n/mo. forth is a mo/r, but our monk last night was mo/n. so the builds are quite flexible.
these 3 guys are still pretty awesome for doing this, though.
oh, and apparently, i use skull hax too.
