GW - Clear the UW wastes in 7 mins as Dervish - Post Feb 11 2011 Update

[shadowanddarkness]

THIS BUILD DOES NOT FUCKING WORK. 

[XxdarkninoxX]

@shadowanddarkness This video just prove you're wrong, sir.

[FamiliarSky]

You made this look so easy...took me about 12 tries before I made it to the Smite Crawlers. Was having trouble surviving so I replaced Eremite's attack with Eternal Aura. I haven't tried pulling 3 groups of Smite Crawlers yet, but it was working against 2 groups.

[tehubernoob2023]

I only have one question,do the smites strip enchantments? I really have never been to that part except for with my guildys. I always have to stay back because my build only works around the ataaxes and if i go up front i die. anyways thanks for the video and I will surely try this out. :)

[mojototal]

@tehubernoob2023 They don't, but they have hex removal and SoJ(Shield of Judgement).

[mihknkhk]

So the only issue with this video that I have is that in-game that 3rd Grasping group always de-aggros :P any suggestions? I am pulling exactly how you do in the video

[misuryprince]

Could someone list those skills for me?

[MegaDeathtrain]

will you please show a video of your armor and how you set this build up please? I think I messed up

[dom1nat33]

When i try to pull the first group i pull the Bladed Aatxe's also.Any tips about that?

[MegaDeathtrain]

What equipment did she use to get the 565 health at the beginning? I have all the equipment and have 455

[Tatsu369]

Where did you get your epic HUD skin? (Like your Compass)

[koranae]

"Shield (+30 hp +10 armor vs Slashing damages)" According to the wiki, Smite Crawlers deal piercing damage, so wouldn't it be better to find a +10 to piercing?

[Kelysyan]

What is that skill in the bottom left corner? I can't find it anywhere!

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Kelysyan Staggering Force

[Tatsu369]

@Kelysyan Staggering Force - when you cast it, it deals X (piercing?) damage. Then when it ends, foes get Cracked Armor for X seconds.

You use -Staggering Force- as the Enchantment to get taken off from -Eremite's Attack-. (If you Do Not take. Use -Fleeting Stability- to power -Eremite's Attack-.)

[nikiforos6]

nm or hm?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@nikiforos6 NM.

Since the % of drop for ectos is the same between NM and HM, it's quite better to run a quick solo run in NM rather than slow SoS in HM :)

[andrewcopeowns]

why is there a wall up around 2:02.. theres a wall right there

[XxdarkninoxX]

@andrewcopeowns You need to kill the 10 grasping darknesses to make this wall open. Also, the darknesses pop only if you take the quest.

[Xantos3412]

I'm having trouble with energy at beginning when pulling the first group. They drain it to quickly. Any tips?

[Kaiyazu]

@Xantos3412 use mirage cloak as soon as they hit you then cast regen, sand shards VoS, i dont think you'll have enough energy for staggering so just try to kill them or have a zealous scythe to get 2 hits in until you can cast it, when you cast it spam eremites attack and try casting mirage again, mirage is key for the beginning.

[TheGodlike50]

i can't kill those little blue mobs they use a shield and then they knock me down.. what must i do ?

[Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh]

@TheGodlike50 you should not attack them before you have all your enchant up. you must kill them quickly. if they use shield of judgement, use your fleet stability to counter knock down.

[lokone303]

Upload a harder run plz, u tubers always post an IDEAL run with """skeletons and coldfires in perfect spots""", that happen 1/100 runs for me :D

seems a diferent game.

Thx ^^

[XxdarkninoxX]

@lokone303 Yeah I get trolled because I upload my "common" runs with kinds of mistakes, bad pops, etc... I think it's better to take time, people will speed up the run by themselves with experience :)

[TheStygge]

@lokone303 ....btw u can easily kill skeles of dhuum with this build too,wich might give some extra ectos.

[Merkisador]

Does this build still work?

[knugenffs]

@Merkisador

I use a similar build and it still works.

[AenimaJoe]

@knugenffs

I would be really grateful if you sent me that build :3

[knugenffs]

@AenimaJoe

The only thing that differ from this and the one i use:

Drunken master instead of fleeting stability. You will get a 33% speed boost and IAS.

Feel no pain instead of mystic regen.

This requires alcohol. imo i think its worth it. But i guess that this build on the vid will work with some skill as well :) I almost always fail at the running part with fleeting stability.

[deathrage09]

my very first time farming and used this build... i kept dying cuz i was stuck between the creeps ):

[TheBUUUUUUUUH]

guys, sometimes two darkfire nights are blocking you way (3:55)

not your death, its possible to kill them just keep myst reg and miragecloak

maybe ad

[060Saddletank]

What runes/insignias/equipment do you use for this? :-)

[XxdarkninoxX]

@060Saddletank Click "Show More" :p

[xTaistelutiikeri]

@XxdarkninoxX max armours?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@RazorBMG Fraps, in 1920*1080 a screen. Nothing really special ^^"

[MrDrdervish1812]

@glasscube

Will it change the ecto drop if your heroes are in grey ?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@MrDrdervish1812 Nop. Feel free to get 1 bonder 2 spirits 1 UA 1 Prot 1 Parangon runner 1 damage dealer if you have troubles with the start / running. And go alone at smites.

[glasscube]

@HugeMcBig Yes it does. Why wouldn't it?

I run something similar, instead of staggering and eremites I run mystic vigor and I am unstoppable. For smites I maybe have to hit once more but I like them better because I can kill coldfires and skeletons with them. Skeletons don't seem worth the time and coldfires don't drop ectos but accidents happen for me near the monument at the end. For anybody having troubles doing the run, you can always practice with heroes and flag them away at the smites.

[Shrimx1]

Idk how you do this. Everytime i run i rubberband and even when i get to the smites i use everything them ermites and they end up just knocking me down.

[rangerofalinos]

I just seem to suck at the running part. Nearly all of my failures lie in it, absolute pain

[XxdarkninoxX]

@rangerofalinos Get Drunken master then. And use 1 charge of alcohol before the running part.

[rangerofalinos]

@XxdarkninoxX

ended up getting it downpat eventually, making sure i didn't hit that extra patrol just outside the door

[InferusDaFire]

@XxdarkninoxX which skill can i change to drunken master??

[tashand]

How are u doing it without pulling Attaxes at the very start?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@tashand If you move faster than them, they break aggro. It only works in NM obviously.

[cmullins69]

How did you get your Skill bar like that?!

[XxdarkninoxX]

@cmullins69 Search for "Texmod" in the official GW Wiki (wiki guildwars com). The mod i'm using is Dark Glass UI 1.2

Enjoy ! :)

[clanAWH]

it doesnt work at all :(

[XxdarkninoxX]

@clanAWH It's not because you can't run it that "it doesn't work". I use it every day.

[Bardathehobo]

Very Nice build, only thing i do differently is i use chilling victory since they had nerfed ermites strike, it was very good back then hah

[RhapsodyDragons]

this farm is working?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@RhapsodyDragons Yep

[Lithizy]

hey how can you counter the shield of judgement by the smite crawlers?

i always get knocked down and killed :( pls help

[VliegendKipje]

@Lithizy he/she uses fleeting stability for that

[Esharify]

Nice job. How many ectos do you get from each run? ;>

[Math57050]

Jolie farm

[tehflaming]

Thanks, this build works great!

[UnknownJoe07]

Thanks for the video! I've been using this build on my Dervish for a while and it's been a lot of fun! I'm curious though, do you know if this run is better than the Rit's SoS solo? In terms of money gained versus time spent at least.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@UnknownJoe07 SoS builds are always the easiest and the longest way to farm something, there's always something better about ratio time:drop

[RubbaDuckaZilla]

When i ball them at the start they just kill me even with all the enchants up....

[XxdarkninoxX]

@RubbaDuckaZilla Spam the Cloack

[Cassyns]

@RubbaDuckaZilla

Same problem, if you pull all 3 groups, they'll just interrupt all abilities and autoattacks, burn all mana without a chance to gain it. It's quite easy to take them down one by one though.

[TheBUUUUUUUUH]

@Cassyns its easy just do it like in the video, always use miragecloak when you pulled them to the nuke point.

then you do the nuke abilitys its really easy!

nice guide thank you very much :D

[amyrulez64]

can u please tell me the order in which you activate the skills to nuke the smites?

[Andyfraggedya]

@amyrulez64 sand shards, VoS, Staggering Force, Ermite's Attack.

[stoneyjabrone]

I have a problem, I took the same route you took on the run, but I ran into a brick wall right before the cave to the wastes. Any help? Do I have to destroy that brick wall at another time before? Not sure. Thanks in advance

[stoneyjabrone]

My Bad... Thought I cancelled the first post

[UnknownJoe07]

@stoneyjabrone You have to kill all three groups of Grasping Darkness to continue past the wall. Accept the quest from the first Lost Soul and then proceed to murder all the scary looking octopus things :D If you look at your quest log it will tell you how many groups remain.

[stoneyjabrone]

Yo.... Great work... it works up until I go to make the run. I ran to the same place and once I make a right at the stairs, I hit a brick wall. Literally. Any help? I'm pretty sure I'm taking the same route you took. Thanks in advance.



[meximan676]

i dont see how you have 15 earth skill....max is 12 + 2 from major rune

[XxdarkninoxX]

@meximan676 +1 headpiece

[doughnutboy84]

why the fuck wont the minotaurs leave when i only try to agrro grasping darknesses?

[Andyfraggedya]

@doughnutboy84 you MUST have a speed boost to loose the minos

[doughnutboy84]

@Andyfraggedya ohhh so i should use fleeting stability right when i aggro?

[Andyfraggedya]

@doughnutboy84 you'll need to use fleeting to loose the bladed's agro at the start, and also during the run. You're unlikely to need it at the smites, although sometimes they manage to case SoJ before dying.

[LePoulpeuh]

Si tu est Francais , tu pourrais mettre dans la description un tuto en francais plz ?

[MrSfue]

Hi, I've been working on this a lot and it's difficult at first but I've got the hang of it pretty well, I can get to the smites sometimes, but I rubberband a lot. Like I'll be running and all the things in the chamber will kill me even though I'm away from them. Anyone else have this problem? (Sometimes this happens while vaettir farming too..) I'm sure it's not my internet. Anyway, learning this has become very expensive for me and hopefully it'll pay off if I can fix the rubberbanding, lol.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@MrSfue Straff a lot, it helps. Also, moving with keyboard reduce the chance of rubberband. GW engine is old ^^

[wakyjaky]

I made it to the smites but I had a big group of aggro including aatxes, skeletons, (first group of smites too). I ran to the empty area in the cave to regain my energy then casted intimidating aura, sand shards, mystic regen then i waited for them, but my health wasn't full yet so I died while trying to kill them.

Also most of the times, when I run to the smites, most of the time I die because mystic regen runs out then i get hit by graspings a lot. Ive lost 10k trying to do this. any help?

[TheFutureComingSoon]

Its sooo hard



[newboy333]

Hey, is it possible to add you in game and do a walk through with you? I've tried this build only a couple of times, never been able to finish fully. If not, is it possible to do this without the +5 EN scythe? But a Zealous/20% Enchant one?

[ronnydalia]

IS THIS STILL WORKING OR NOT?!?!?!

[XxdarkninoxX]

@ronnydalia It is.

[ronnydalia]

@XxdarkninoxX

but what when they use the shield the elite skill???

50 dmg each hit?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@ronnydalia They don't use it. Remember not to auto attack them. Just "spike" them with the combo.

[XxdarkninoxX]

It's when you aggro a nightmare, he become "binded" with the Aaxtes. And when the nightmare is attacking you, it makes the axxtes aggroing you if he's near. So you have to pull the nightmare the closer to the centre of the shrine. It would be enough not to make the axxte aggroing you.

[5lunky]

Hello! Thank you for the build :) But I have a problem, I aggro always an aaxte of the second group :( I tried many times... Can you help me?

[Chompyburguer]

Excuse me sir but What soundtrack it is?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Chompyburguer Gouryella by Ferry Corsten

[Chompyburguer]

@XxdarkninoxX Thank you :) is a good soundtrack

[XxdarkninoxX]

I love ectoS... One is not enough :p

[Th3wander3r]

Whats your ingame name? Tried "Rage Luvs Ecto" but no go...

[Th3wander3r]

Whats your in game name? i tried adding "Rage Luvs Ecto" but says doesnt exist... um?

[Lopezprieto]

Cool guide m8!

[georgei250]

Thanks for the build and info, but I could use some help plz.

I usually die on the run from chamber to smites. I either get stripped by nightmare, or killed by skellies.

I have all equip/skills that you listed above, except the shield for running. But I saw that you don't use shield in your video, so it's possible?

What else could I be doing wrong? If possible, could you please PM me in-game for some tips? (nick: Dimmy Fusion) I'd be greatful. Thanks.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@georgei250 For skells, they don't do any damage if you dodge. It's not that hard, once you get the move, you don't miss it.

For nightmares, don't cast your IMS when they pop, just use mirage cloack. Wait for them to strip it, and then use your IMS.

[georgei250]

I'll try the dodge around skells, but I already tried it.. figured that's what had to be done, but i've failed many times.

And when nightmares strip all enchants, and I use IMS after, I take too much dmg.. even when dodging everything.

[Gareth1455]

any tips for someone who's attempting this for the first time, such as exact weapons and equipment should be/best used? and any others, :), thanks... and great guide, now I know what I am at least looking for, lol

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Gareth1455 All in description sir :)

[taggingfolife]

The run is fucking impossible :(

[XxdarkninoxX]

@taggingfolife Remember to use Mirage Cloack, it's a great tool :)

[taggingfolife]

@taggingfolife im using it all the, but the do so much dmg.. though i got evrything you need.

[LeonZapphire]

@taggingfolife Strange. I've been able to do everything just fine with his equipment and strategy.

[Craigie9999]

Great build, great video and great music! Thanks for sharing.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Craigie9999 Thanks ! :)

[MrDrdervish1812]

@XxdarkninoxX  I cant read a lot of your videos with my IPod Touch. Why ?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@MrDrdervish1812 I don't know. I'm using Fraps for recording and Windows Live Movie Maker to edit / encode / upload. :/

[ElementTownHobo]

@XxdarkninoxX Yo what scythe were you using? Looked like one of the bonus mission scythes

[XxdarkninoxX]

@ElementTownHobo Tormented Scythe :)

[ElementTownHobo]

@XxdarkninoxX Cool :) Also, how did you get your interface like that? Looks nice!

[XxdarkninoxX]

@ElementTownHobo In the GW Wiki (official), search for "Texmod". The mod I'm using is Dark Glass UI 1.2

[MrDrdervish1812]

@LeonZaphirre oh ok thanks for your answer  mate :p

[MrDrdervish1812]

@wijnand55 oh i see thx but in the video it seems to me that he doesnt use Fleeting stability

[MrDrdervish1812]

Why did the smites don t cast SoJ ? And if They cast,Why are you not knock-down ?

[wijnand55]

@MrDrdervish1812 Fleeting stablilty XD

[LeonZapphire]

@MrDrdervish1812 If I remember correctly, the crawlers don't use SoJ until they get a significant amount of damage. Which means they didn't get the chance to do it as the farmer killed them too quickly.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@LeonZapphire Exactly, that's why you may not auto attack them. Or, just once, before the spike damage, if you don't have enough mana for eremite's.

[Suhhhy]

I still don't know - do it rit or derv:)

[Schinkenbrot1337]

i die every round i dont understand how to farm it -.-

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Schinkenbrot1337 Explain your problem ?

[Schinkenbrot1337]

@XxdarkninoxX too much demage i often stuck and yeah its completly to pull right the main problem no energy and too much demage and yes i have the equip just an other woapon can u tell me the name of your weapon?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Schinkenbrot1337 You have to auto attack, spam mirage cloak. Since less attack received = less adrenaline for grasping = less e-denial = more mirage cloak spam. It's a paradox, so you really have to spam mirage cloak.

[LeonZapphire]

@XxdarkninoxX And now a question for you. Would a -5/20 inscription be an alright alternative to the +10 vs slashing dmg inscrip? Or is your suggestion the best choice for this farm?

I'm trying to find what you suggested in the description but I already have a -5/20 on a shield and want to use it instead if it's equally as good if not better.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@LeonZapphire Definitly not. Take a -2 / ench or the slashing. Both are good, but the -5/20 is the worst inscription ever ^^

[LeonZapphire]

@XxdarkninoxX lol Alright.

[silvericeitachi]

What software did u use to record the video mate? Thanks in advanced!

[XxdarkninoxX]

@silvericeitachi Fraps :)

[silvericeitachi]

@XxdarkninoxX Thx mate.

[DjBlasTboY]

this is fucking brilliant man ! does it still work ?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@DjBlasTboY It does :)

[Suhhhy]

still working after nerf?



[XxdarkninoxX]

@Suhhhy Yeah sure :)

IMS duration is not a big deal, you have great resilience

[LeonZapphire]

@Suhhhy Looks like build still works as there was a four-leaf clover drop in the vid.

[litttlebeck]

yeah this is totally 7min >.>

[XxdarkninoxX]

@litttlebeck Please take a look at the description. I admit, it's not 7 min, it's 5.

Happy ? :)

[LeonZapphire]

@litttlebeck It's 7 minutes if you look at what he's doing just before that time is reached. As that is where the run should normally end, but after that point he saw the chance to kill the extra smites so he took it.

[Lijoue]

Gr8 build works a treat - my only problem with it is my own timing and issues around running from start to smites area. I've gotten better at it but its where i fall down if im going to. If a nightmare pop's along the way or you dont avoid the one patrolling with the group of grasps, then your enchants are stripped and your slowed to a crawl - I've started using blue rock candy to give the boost regardless of nightmares and its alot safer.

[doomscale]

Is a complete windwalker isignia required ?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@doomscale You can take blessed insignias or survivor, it may be harder but not a big deal.

[XxMuFfeExX]

This ain't nerfed right?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@XxMuFfeExX Not at all. Why would it be nerfed ?

[XxMuFfeExX]

@XxdarkninoxX Cuz Anet happens to nerf everything that is fun to do D:

[xxnonex]

and how many attribute points you put on each skill??

[XxdarkninoxX]

@xxnonex Watch on description :)

[xxnonex]

You use max armors and what runes do you use in your armors

[XxdarkninoxX]

@xxnonex Watch in description :)

[RBrocker69]

Soooo... I've tried... I always die in the beginning. When I pull the second group theres always 1 Aatxe that always follows.... Whisper me in game possibly please? Blue N Purple Pills

[Dking2393]

ya the running skill was nerfed... what do we do if we dont have booze for druken masteR?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Dking2393 If you have troubles running, you can kick Staggering Force for sprint. Perma IMS, combined with fleeting stab. :)

PS : You will have to use Fleeting stab as fuel for Eremite's

[xMistsx]

Great guide man thanks! Except how do you have 565 health with no enchants up? I only have 511. I'd really appreciate it if you could post me your equipment. Great guide though! And thanks a ton!

[aze254]

btw how do u get 643 health?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@aze254 Intimidating Aura give some health. The more health you have, the easier the farm is.

[aze254]

i really love the info that pops up in teh vid, nicely done

[speedfreaksx]

Yeah, I can do it now too, but I needed quite some time and some cons to figure it out.

[dwragon1]

can u tell me how ur compass and everything is black ?? o.O

[XxdarkninoxX]

@dwragon1 Search for "Texmod" in the official GW Wiki.

The related mod is "Dark Glass UI 1.2"

HF :)

[Powski101]

Is it just me, or is the running part definitely the hardest

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Powski101 Yeah, but don't forget to use Mirage Cloak / Mystic Regeneration, if you have troubles. You can also take Drunken Master and some ale to run.

[Powski101]

This is fantastic. Thank you so much. Gonna give it a shot right now.

[XxdarkninoxX]

@Powski101 Thanks ! :)

[speedfreaksx]

I cannot use the drunken master as I do not own EotN, this is why I like this build more. I easily kill the grapsing darknesses, but I cannot get to run all the way to the smites. I either rubber-band, get stripped of the healing enchant, get slowed down as I'm reapplying it, being followed even with Fleeing Stability etc. Even if I make it to the last Skeletons I have to approach him to get out of the aggro of the guys following me and then I have about 50 health and die. I did about 30 runs.

[XxdarkninoxX]

It's still working fine.

If you have alcohol, you can use Drunken Master.

[speedfreaksx]

There was an update regarding Fleeting Stability, it decreased the duration of it from 25 to around 5 (supposedly because of PvP), how does that affect this build?

[TheTricky227]

@speedfreaksx Not Really A Problem For The Build In General

[shinkothesilent]

What's the song by the way man?

[XxdarkninoxX]

@shinkothesilent Ferry Corsten - Gouryella

[archangel31290]

You're doing this in NM right?
