Default Fastest UW solo build?

I've been using VwK warrior for a few months now 'cause I happened to have a PvE warrior and was too lazy to get an other char to Zin Ku Corridor. Knowing it's a fairly slow build and can only kill smites, I'm now wondering which build can get me through UW a little bit faster.
I've heard about the Dervish solo, Spirit Rift 330 (Or something), Me/Mo builds and a Ranger toucher build...
Which of these builds (Or others, of course) would be the best bet for UW solo runs?
If you can, it would also be nice to have a little guide with it so I know what he can kill and what not.

Thanks in advance. :]

Depending on what you want to do a 600 smite build works fine for much of UW Solo. You can just bring a hero to be the bonder.

Alos a Sliver build with SF will work fine as solo or a EchoCry and Degen SF build. These are of course for HM.

A friend of mine told me that one Dervish build is the fastest build around. Do you think a 600 monk is faster than that one?

Let me see if I remember the skills. I'll edit this post soon.

When you say Sliver w/ SF, are you talking about an Ele (using consumables) or Sin primary?

@OP what part of UW are you trying to solo?

If it's smites...I would say

W/Me or E/Me. Not at home right now but if you are interested I can post builds later. But you gotta let me know what you want to solo.

I don't really mind what to farm, just something that brings me in some decent money. o: I've been farming Smites 'till now, but if there's a place with a better ecto rate, of course that's welcome too. :]

It's still possible to farm Aatxe solo I think, they have a better drop rate than smites, I think Me/Mo can do it with Iw still, not sure though.

It depends what you can run, i mean, to me, there is no point solo'ing the UW when you can just SC in the exact same time and get the same amount of ecto+ chance of E Blade. But if you insist, i would recommend an E/A with plenty of Candy Corn. A LOT quicker then the Sins, can clear Chamber+Smites+Plains+Pools in 35-45mins. Its a bit money consuiming, but once you get going youll relise your making more money then your putting in.

You can access uw from temple of ages ( prophs ) and chantry of secrets (nightfall) so you dont really need to get to zu kin corridor .
600 solo monk - not sure if they still work at all as most 600 monks team up with a smite bonder monk .
I`d suggest looking at any uw posts here on guru for ideas and info - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10257299 is a gd start and http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10326326 may be of help .
Also it doesnt hurt to look at pvxwiki just for ideas

If you can 'clear' chamber, wastes, plains and pools in 45 mins, you must be god. Even with essense+candy corn+golden eggs+pumpkin pie+all the consumables. Even the fastest SC'er takes 8 mins to do pools and plains each and that's with a/me clearing chamber, and killing 1/10 of the total foes. Not to say both using different builds.

Clearing plains means killing all 9 banished riders (w/ its 18 mindblades x9)+18 lords and the 3 patrols grps will take about 35-45 mins itself in HM. don't bother with nm with essence, you can't hold aggro unless you walk backwards which is slower.

But you are right about E/A is the fastest way to solo uw with cons but not 45 mins clearing which is killing every foes in those area you mentioned. I would say 1 1/2 to 2 hrs at best for the 4 areas mentioned. I never personally tried but that's my estimation. While you are at it, you can also clear pits too which yield a few ectos drop too.

fasted solo UW for smites is by far W/Me, its insanely fast once u know your own route, i can personnaly solo all the smites in 10 mins (thats my record) and an average run of 12 mins, with the VWK build i couldnt even get 20 mins run, (but then again i used a modified version). but i highly recommend W/Me if u think u are cappable of doing it

Maybe i am God :P
No, it has taken me many trys to get it down to this time, my average would be 55mins, if i bother, like i said, i do UWSC. The spawns must be perfect, the pulls must be imaculate, and there is certain patterns into which you can kill creatures to speed up the process. If you muk any of these points up, youve added another say 10mins to the clock. Its still not worth it in my books. Do DoA ^_^

Is that for real?

If so is there a guide for it anywhere. I mean, some of it is obvious but how do you do 4H solo?

bingo, and it gives loads of ecto's instead of the 2 per smites run if lucky.
with use of an essence 30 min plains is possible, giving 6 to 8 ecto avarage a run.
downside is if you fail, it costs an essence.
without essence its possible to but slower and a bit harder imho.


@ full UW clear.
well its possible, but i thing the 1 hout 10 mins is before some nerfed skills and area's.
