At the moment I'm using a caster's Colossal Scimitar with 10% recharge and the Restoration Effigy from the end of factions. Although this does put my health to 360, I still gain the same amount of life stealing while hold VwK, but Retribution does an extra 1 dmg from the extra health ( when not using VwK ) so i don't see the downside of having my off hand with +30 hp since it will be negated by VwK, and can only help when I'm not holding it right?

Yea, 30% chance to recharge is nice. 10% from weapon, and 20% from offhand helps a lot.

Correct - weapons make no difference while you're holding the ashes.

What I meant by less life stealing benefit... is that you take 33 damage, and VwK steals 37 hp, so you will only gain 4 health every hit. and yeah, I know what you mean now. I didn't think of that for some reason You will still get 330hp when you hold VwK no matter what you use for weapons/items. Although I still use staff with 20% recharge, and 10% casting... Sometimes you can get half recharge of VwK a few times in a row, and that speeds up farming quite a bit.

Note:Just wanted to let you guys know to go to my PvX post for this build and rate it so it will be assigned to a tested category. It does deserve to be under the "great" builds category, so people will know to try it out. Please rate my build at Rt/Mo_330hp_Vengeful_Spirit_Bonder (PvX builds)

Default Updated Build to use left over att points in Spawning.

Update: I had updated build with new template code. I have added Spawning to the attribute list, and to use a Sup Spawning rune. Using 5 Spawning will give you 10% longer weapon spell durations from using. It ain't much, but enough to get some benefit from left over attribute points that I didn't use before.

Ummm, Rt/Mo has no anti-knockdown skills. And taking out Balthazar's Spirit wouldn't be so smart, energy wise. And using Resilient Weapon would just take up an extra skill slot, when you have Spirit Bond to heal you plenty and counter any kind of Degeneration. So degeneration is no problem with this build if you know how to use Spirit Bond. There are areas this build can't farm effeciently because of major knockdowns and interruptions, like Arborstone. Monks are the ones that can counter them problems easily. But those farming places are old news...

I'd say try out the build so you will know what its like. It is a bit more difficult than a 55 Monk. A really good place to use this build is Issnur's Isles. There is around 250 Insects, Skale, and Corsair that you can kill and get major Sunspear points in about an hours time.

Yes, UW is possible... but it seems you gotta get lucky with the Graspings. Graspings are the ones that can kill ya from being dazed. I haven't been doing much UW runs lately since I don't go on at nights when we have favor. It's possible to complete a run, but can be pretty hard. It will take alot of learning and experience to complete a run, or just pure luck I have yet to do it enough to complete a run every time. Blade Aatxes aren't much of a problems, its mainly the Graspings. I have found a skill that might be good for removing dazed. Wielder's Remedy can be switched for RoD to remove dazed when using Vengeful Weapon.

Thanks.

The sickened pets dont give no drops, I wish they did. But you can get hella Exp. points from them if u wanted to. Where I stopped the video is where I stop the run. It is a 10 minute run everytime, since you gotta stay ahead of the mhenlo and togo to keep them from dying. And the run ends when there is no more Warriors to kill.

Minister Cho's Estate Explorable also has alittle 5 minute run of mostly casters and some warriors, and do drop a good amount of gold items sometimes. But the Mission has all warriors, so they always drop gold shields and weapons. Can make money from the perfect mods you get from the swords and axes.

Alot of people have asked the same question numerous times, if you skim through the post you will see it.

There is certain ways you have to take on groups in Minister Cho's Estate mission to keep the NPC's from dying. You also have to be really quick, quick as possible on getting to the next group. Add me to ur friends and I will show you sometime. if u still need help. IGN is "ReZ DoGG"

It took me awhile to figure out how to do a successful run everytime, so it is alittle tricky on how you have to do the run without killing NPC's

I've been doing some UW runs with this build. Killing the Aatxes is really easy, safer and easier to do than the other builds that can farm UW solo (I'm talking about Me/Mo, N/Mo..). I was really excited untill I pulled a group of 4 Graspings, Daze ftl! . Well, too bad.. Maybe someone will find something for that...

Note: I've cleared the Aatxes 3 times, in HM ofcourse. Guess what, NO single ecto. Aatxes suppose to drop ectos better than Smites, I guess UW is being ultra-overfarmed these days...

Anyways, Minister Cho's sure is a good place to farm at, I had to get the hang of letting Togo survive but I'm getting some nice drops, too bad they're all uninscribable.
