yes, it can be run with a monk in HM UW, albeit without Spellbreaker. IIRC that's stated on the first page.

this is a farming build, riceman. don't play through the game with it. there are plenty of good builds to play through the game with here.

Sorry Taco, I meant that can this build be run as a monk solo. Mo/Rt?

Fuzzy Taco · Dec 31, 2007, 01:35 AM // 01:35

ah, sorry for misunderstanding. ReZZ posted a 600 monk build with VwK a while back, thread is here.
i'm pretty sure that works in hm uw, just not as well as the 330.

Thanks a bunch

I have a question. If none of the spells rely on spawning, as well as nothing is a spirit or minion, why use a superior rune of that in this build? To me there's no inherent benefit... but increasing something (especially smiting) appears to have a great benefit... I've never farmed but I'm creating this build to start and was just confused by this.

You use a superior spawning rune to have lower health. Any other Rt rune would work.

MrSlayer · Jan 09, 2008, 07:15 PM // 19:15

Plus you can't put a +3 smiting rune on ritualist armor <.<

Well, for start it is just to help get your health down to 330hp... and Spawning does give you little benefit for Weapon Spells. And with 5 spawning I think it gives you around 10% longer durations on all your weapon spells. It's nothing really really useful, but something to add on from spare Attribute points. Plus if you use something like Resilient Weapon, it would give you acouple seconds longer on its duration.... its not much, but its something. And increasing Smiting wouldn't give you higher damage from Retribution unless you put your health up higher... and like he said, you can't put monk runes on a ritualist, if thats what you were trying to say. And if you take off those spawning points, there won't be enough to increase Smiting anyways.

once a post on guru has hit a certain amount of characters, the only way to edit it is to recopy the entirety of the post, plus whatever you wanted to add. otherwise it'll blank out your OP. i sure hope you saved your OP as a txt file. :/

Yeah I thought it might of been something like that... cause this seemed to have started from the time I edited it last, which I added some stuff. And, I knew better enough to save all my post to text files. Guess I'll try something out.

Yup, you were right... I just cut out some things from thread, and now it is showing up. Thanks alot. Guess I'll have to take out some things in order to add other stuff.

Well, I run this build since you released it and I must admit that it rocks hard in normal PvE areas...but at least for me, it sucks in UW HM..I know that many ppl have those problems, but I never got to the smites so far...

1) Nightmare strips ench and aatxes pwn me before I can get to the body block NPC

2) since the update, the body block NPC is hardly body blocking anything

3) cant get away from nightmares spawning when aggroing aatxes

4) before using Purifying Veil, my journey ended with the grasps, but now its easy..

but gratz gratz, good build, made tons of platinums farming Cantha HM etc..
good job mate

Yeah, its not the easiest to farm UW with the build. But, I didn't really make it to only farm UW... UW was just something that was possible. I personally don't like farming all of UW anyways. I usually do Smite runs only, which seem to be way more rewarding at a fraction of the time. And the change for the Body Blocking does suck, because it will make the run a bit harder. I am really not sure why they decided to do that so late in the game, since GW been out over 2 years now. Doesn't make much sense to me. I also don't remember anything said on the updates about it, sounds like a low blow by Anet.

I never really took the time to test out Purifying Veil, but it was the only solution to removing Dazed fast enough. It should work, but having to double click can give some people problems. There are some experienced UW farmers that claim to do the UW run with ease, which I can still have a hard time to do still... but then again, I don't farm there much anymore. Those people spend alot of time down there to know the in's and out's of everything possible.

Update: I added a new video for a new farming place. It is a video of farming one small-med sized group of Enchanted Sword and Enchanted Axes in Shards of Orr. It isn't a big farm, but it can be profitable if you get some rare skinned weapons. I did get acouple Platinum weapons and a few Darkwing Defender shields to drop from them, along with other golds. It is only a small group, so I wouldn't expect to get more than 1 gold a run, but can be possible with a bigger spawn. I been farming them to see if they drop Embersteel Blades or Magmus shields. As they are the only enchanted that hold these skins in hand, that I know of and that is easily accessible. It is not yet confirmed if they drop them or not, and is not recorded anywheres... but I did have one person tell me that he got a Embersteel Blade to drop while farming them in NM with a Monk. Not sure if he is lying or not, but something convinced him to make a video to show the farm. So far I haven't got any of them skins to drop. But, I wanted to make a video showing how to do it, to get more people to farm them and confirm drops. I also use "Drunken Master" instead of RoD to do this run.

Check out the Video here: 330hp Rt/Mo - Farming Enchanted Swords/Axes

how much roughly would a staff like the one used for the build cost?

The staff I use was made, and based upon the current prices, it cost around 9K.

Restoration Staff with 20% HSR and 15/-1 Energy crafted = 5K + materials
10% HSC Swift Staff Head = 2K
20% Enchantment Wrapping = 2K

I'm pretty new to this game, only about 3.5 weeks in GW so far, and I'm REALLY new to the whole farming thing, so bear with me. And I apologize if my question has been addressed already, but 24 pages is a lot. . . I've only made it though about 10 so far lol.

First off - I love the build. I'm not amazing with it yet, but already I'm making more money than a 1 month old player probably should be

Here's my main question right now. . .

When farming Fahrunar, The First City HM, at the undead guys after the big stomper thing. I have no problem killing them. But how in the world do you survive bleeding after all the bad guys are dead ????? Too many times now I've killed all the guys and had a long duration bleed on me. . .and sat on the edge of my chair hoping I didn't run out of HP before the spell, just to die at the last second.

Any suggestions? Again sorry if this is a noob question. . .but I'm a noob ><

makosi · Jan 25, 2008, 11:14 PM // 23:14

@ Farseer,

If you find your health is degenerating between fights, remove your armour pieces with superior runes by dragging them in to your bags. That will grant you +150 health which should buy enough time for the bleeding to expire and for your health to regenerate.

If you have a non-farming armour set with a Vigor rune on it, put that piece of armour on for more temporary health.

If there isnt any aggro around just take a piece of your armor off to give you the life back.
