Signet of Midnight >>>> Epidemic (Transfer all negative "Conditions" and their remaining durations from target foe to all foes adjacent to your target.)..... only problem here would be that Epidemic is very energy intensive as it needs 15 nrg. Casting time is 1/4. So you would probably have to time is as your Bonetti's Defense is about to run out.

I haven't actually tried any of this, I'm just posting some suggestions.
I'll probably try Ract's build see if I can do it or not :|, too bad the video's are not downloadable anymore.

Racthoh · Feb 09, 2006, 04:18 AM // 04:18

Yeah Filefront being a pain...

Problem with Epidemic is that the target you cast it on is healed of all conditions.

Avarre · Feb 09, 2006, 12:17 PM // 12:17

Wrong, it's an error in the skill description, the target is not healed.
The flaw in epidemic is the horrendously close range.

Racthoh · Feb 09, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

Hmm... yet another skill that needs a description tweak, unless transfer means something else now.

Despite speculation about weapon switching being buggy, this is still possible.

berko · Feb 09, 2006, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Transfer still means transefer. If you use Plague Sending or Plague Touch, you will lose the condition you're transfering so I believe Epidemic is either bugged, or it just needs the description tweaked. I hope it's the other one though.

Hats off to you for a great idea again Ractoth

While I really like the concept behind doing this, your setup is way to technichal for me with all the start attacking, stop, switch weapons, switch back.
Not to mention the fact that I don't mind useing someones concepts but I'm against copying someones builds completely.

But again thanks for the inspiration to find a way for lazy people like me to do this

And being a W/N since the release of this game it is kind of ironic that W/N is the only build that I could come up with that worked for how I wanted to run.

Took some time and a few plat to get the bugs worked out but it was a blast just for the sense of accomplishment!!!
Not sure how fast this will be with the smites I was summoned away from UW just before going to them but it does seem to cut through the Aatxes pretty fast and leaves yourself with a pretty large margin for error.

Racthoh · Feb 12, 2006, 06:27 PM // 18:27

I would've thought for sure energy would be a problem. Guess not, nice work!

Blade Rez · Feb 17, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

First of all. Racthoh. How you do this your way is beyond me......

I went through 11k tonight. Trying to do your build, and it didnt work for me. So i started to try and find the basics of your build. I kind of centered it to around deadly riposte+riposte. Correct me if I'm wrong. So i changed this up. First, I put in Plague Touch. 3/4 second cast 5 energy. No recast time. That helped a bit. So I figured that the way to beat this was with degen. So i stuck in Rotting Flesh. 17 second disease. 15 energy. (ouch). However, this worked, because in that 17 seconds you can recharge bonnetis, and cast up gladiators, then recast rotting flesh. I killed the first aataxe this way. Then i moved to the second. And It glitched into the steps. So it was inside the steps, but attacking me like 20 feet away. I was getting attacked by an invisible aataxe and died =\.

Second time, killed the first aataxe again, got the 2nd to half health, forgot to enfeeble and ended up with taking 293 dmg sever artery. I don't know racthoh how you do it your way with the weapon switching, but i think that the wand concept has opened many new possibilities due to the fact you wont trigger reposite and deadly reposite. I'll build on my build during the weekend. Thanks for this build racthoh.

Now i need to cap Signet of midnight...

sixdartbart · Feb 17, 2006, 08:44 AM // 08:44

Hello Blade; I agree with you completly about Racthoh, I think he has 4 hands and 2 brains just to be able to pull off the constant starting stopping and switching oh my

So I came up with a pretty decent setup for us mortals that you can see in the screenshot above.

Pretty much just a don't get hit build for the Aatxes
Running 16 tactics 12 curses
Parasitic bond takes off the Aaxtes natural regen and makes a nice self heal
Enfeeble
Price of failure
Glads defense
Sheild stance
Disciplined stance
Bonettis
Heal sig

Useing the collectors truncheon for curses you actually do some decent damage while just wanding all the time and Glads with price double up on the damage also when you get the timing down for your energy you can keep price on them for most of the other stances.
The Aaxtes go down pretty fast but the smites are a different story this will work on them but takes about twice as long as the guy with 4 hands does them

Blade Rez · Feb 17, 2006, 11:34 AM // 11:34

Yes, for the smites I knew it was going to be hard with a degen build. I'm trying to think how maybe you can make an IW build.. that would make it go faster i guess. Oh well, I'll have to try out your way.

Avarre · Feb 17, 2006, 02:33 PM // 14:33

IW on a warrior has a very poor damage output, a high energy cost, and would require brute-forcing through aatxe ripostes. It also means no glads def.

If you want IW for smiteruns, use a 55mes

striderkaaru · Feb 17, 2006, 02:37 PM // 14:37

iw's damage output is decent. however, for those trying to develop their own builds, just keep in mind that attacking with iw still triggers the aatxe ripostes.

Avarre · Feb 17, 2006, 02:53 PM // 14:53

IW = W/Me = no glads def = no enfeeble = needs high illu = 1k lost

Just to summarize.. Youll need high tactics str and illu, won't easily work. Plus you have less stances and no weakening, so you'll get ripped up.

Racthoh · Feb 17, 2006, 10:36 PM // 22:36

I actually have six hands; one to twist the top off my pop and the other to drink it. Forgot to mention that. It's actually kinda funny since I know Dahnel can kill the aatxe as well, and like me he finds it rather easy to do now as well.

If you want to kill the Bladed Aatxe with my first build just to get an idea of getting just the switching down, use this:

Plague Signet {E}
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Watch Yourself
Enfeeble
Balanced Stance
Healing Signet
Dolyak Signet

Curses: 10
Tactics: 16
Strength: Remaining points

That was the first build I used, and guess what, I didn't use the wand to build adrenaline. I killed them with just building adrenaline slowly from damage, maintaining the weakness, healing always, and giving conditions back ASAP from Plague Signet. Use Balanced Stance whenever to minimize criticals. Again, I DIDN'T use the wand for that build so you can use it to get the timing down without having to worry about triggering stances at the right moment.

Here is a really old picture of that in action:

Ezekial · Feb 18, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

Thanks alot, I have been looking for a working UW build

Can't wait to try it out. Just need to buy Enfeeble

Dahnel · Feb 18, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

easy ? yes, easy when being distracted? no

Avarre · Feb 18, 2006, 11:33 AM // 11:33

Of all of Racthoh's six hands, none are dedicated to anti-typo duty

But this is because he actually types using his feet, since his hands are busy. ^^

Lint · Mar 04, 2006, 12:29 AM // 00:29

THIS IS So much easier now, with ripstoe being 80 dmg now bc of the update.

Racthoh · Mar 04, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

84 damage Ripostes and 79 damage Deadly Ripostes to be exact.

Well, one last video attempt for those struggling with it. Audio commentary on what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and little tips that will hopefully breed some more success: http://files.filefront.com/UWSoloWit.../fileinfo.html

lambda the great · Mar 04, 2006, 09:28 PM // 21:28

I finally got the time to go try this. I think I learned it very fast First run killed 2 Aatxe then died. Second I cleared the chamber then died. Third time I swaped out Watch Yourself! for Shield Stance, and cleard out the first monument. Got to the Smites... Zealots fire hurts. w00t awsome build btw.
