I have updated the guide to include downloadable versions of the videos. These are hosted on filefront because I'm sure the majority of users are familiar with this service because everyone uses it.

Also, tonight when USA gets favor, expect to see one more (possibly two) new videos pertaining specifically to the grasping darknesses and a group of smites as well as a "Do's and Don'ts" category for each section. I've switched to gamecam so hopefully they'll be in better quality.

EDIT: Sorry on the delay. I haven't been able to catch favor yet.

Never would it take 10 minutes to kill one group of aatxe. Either your over-exaggerating or you can't manage your interrupts correctly and get SoJ off. Your coldfire problem is also something you shouldn't be having considering their patrol is identical each and every run making it quite easy to dodge them. Try pulling the smites away from them with a wand if you feel your too close.

EDIT: I wanted to say that this guide is still very usable and none of the information in it has hindered since the release of faction updates. If anything written here becomes false due to an update, I will edit the guide immediately. Have a great time farming.

Great guide, i'll have to try it, but is sprint really necessary?

I have no experience with this build as I'm yet to try it, but when I get a random invite on my necro from some foreigner who thinks he's gonna ditch me after I clear the chamber for him then solo smites (know what i'm talkin about?) they just use zealots to kill all the nm's, never sprint away or anything. I was wondering if this is harder to do solo, or what?
-they also always start on the right side btw, they just run up tho instead of using ur method to get the nm's solo.

Nope, Sprint isn't necessary. Just necessary in that particular method. A safer alternative against using another energy pip with Blessed Aura. It also allows you to break agro whenever in danger as well as enabling you to traverse through your run much faster. It's great for covering areas where there are long paths with no monsters. Not necessarily needed for your normal smite run, but if you wanted to breach the Obsidian Behemoths and head into the bone pits for an extra chest, you'll need it to break agro of nightmares and charged blackness'.

hi all!

that makes a while that i try builds for farming UW. i whant to have enought ectos to craft an fissure armor for one of my characters.

so, dorkxd grenth bless you

i know i am an idiot but i am not familiar with "sprint" skill. so, i'am trying to clear the starting point without that. unfortunately i success only 2 times on 5-6 run... testing many other solutions that i can read or see on other person.

i have a question, can i have a chance to break the aggro of nightmare without "sprint" ?

and can i simply stay back to the wall (soory for my english) and let me rend my enchants. and after symply recall PS and the others?

i try i try without but i think i will try with sprint and maybe i'll conserve it

I have one thing to add. (im not sure if some one allready did, to lazy to read). If just one nightmear pops up. make sure you have another wepon set witha worths holy rod. whipe that out and he sould be dead in 2-3 hits, befor they can cast.

Can solo Anything I haven't played in a while so I'm sure there are plenty of updates to snatch up. However, I'd love to demonstrate for you. I have to work tomorrow from 6-4 and I'll have the updates running whilst at work. I'll be a little stiff from both the game and work so bare with me.

I'll try to catch you online around 5-6PM est time. I gotta get the kids some dinner and then it's back to online gaming.

Well it's late now, so I'm gonna get some rest. I'll add you to friends after I get home from work.

does this still work after all the nerfs? I thought SoJ caused scatter now, and it would be impossible to kill the grasps since when there's more than 3 they'll run off... ah, gotta love all the nerfs. I suppose I should give this a try though, better than nothing.

great guide. after the semi-nerf of the IW solo and the fact that it was as slow as hell i went looking around for 55 solos and found this. it still works great and i cant think of anything to improve on

the graspsings were easy-i cast all my enchants, including SoJ right before i run in the mob. then u keep up ur enchants and energy with bonetti's and simple fire off your SoJ for your second, and final time, in the middle of a bonetti's
