W/N build for Underworld - like to be of more use!? - Guild Wars Forums

Adnams Bitter · Aug 18, 2005, 07:28 PM // 19:28

Having mixed success being of much help to Smiting Monks and Nukers in the underworld. Fortunately I am with decent chaps who don't mind the "stupid warrior tagging along."

Suggestions for a W/N about skills to equip prior to entry?

I do not have Hundred Blades (my mistake when completed game so will go back). Sword and Armour are OK (Sword -15-24 dmg, with a few add-ons), and Armour is Knight's Armour with assortment of minor/major runes. Nothing too special based on posts I have read of others.

Typically my skill line up consists of:

1- Healing Signet
2- "Watch yourself!"
3- Power Attack
4- Galrath Slash
5- Bonnetti's Defence
6- Animate Bone Horror (level 8)
7- Putrid Explosion (69 damage)
8- Endure Pain

Appreciate advise/tips for this character type. Found little via Search on this specific question. Cheers.

Well theres a few things you can do to help your build for UW.
Get rid of Putrid and Animate Bone Horror, your not a caster and you don't have the energy to throw around for these two skills especially 15 energy for a level 8 bone horror which would just get taken out in 1 swing anyway.
Now the rest of your skills are ok, you just have to decide if you want to be just a pure tank and let your party members deal most of the damage while you tank or do you want to add in some extra attack skills for a bit of damage.
If you want to go the attack skills route I would go with Sever Artery-Gash-Galrath-Final Thrust or you could just drop Sever and Gash, but Final and Galrath are two nice high damage attacks.
If your going to go the tank route pump up your tactics, you can drop Strength cause you won't be using many of the skills from it anyway. Then just grab some nice stances and shouts from the Tactics line to help you tank.
