Default Problem Soloing UW!
Hi, Im a Warrior/Monk
And I have a build witch I use to solo UW.
I can handle the Blade Aatxes and Grasping somethings easily in the quest.
But as soon as i have to kill the 3 Terror Dryers I die in a couple of hits.
Is there any way to defeat them with one skill?
The other 7 I use are a must.
I also sometimes duo with my friend (E/Mo) and he uses:
H. Breeze
Healing Whisp.
on me and O. of Healing on himself + rez
So he has 3-2 skill slots free to use (we must count one attack spell he uses sometimes)

So I hope you understood my problem, thanks.

You didn't really make a lot of sense with your question. Please explain how you die in one hit and such.

Well they are Mages, wich do alot of dmg, and trhe problem is i must kill them to get further.
So my friend should get a build with the rest free slots to kill the mages.

ANET has a problem with one person going into an area intended for a party of 8 and that single person getting 8 players loot.

they are making it harder to solo those areas.

i hope you understand

You're asking if you can kill a level 28 monster with 1 skill...

No, no you cannot.

Loviatar's right. You aren't playing the way they want you to and so they make it harder across the board in order to try and stop you. Of course minimum party size requirements worked for GvG and HA (at least until the advent of Heroes), they just haven't thought of applying it to other things.

sorry to bust that bubble, but party size is optional, not a requirement anywhere. thats why it size recommended size then still allows you in.

considering i never said that Anet was setting a minimum size group to enter i dont see how that fits.

what i said was that Anet was progressively making it harder for a solo player to raid the pantry with desert for 8 and survive grabbing all the goodies.

so my bubble is intact and doing very well thank you

maybe you should post the skills you are using, so that we can provide a solution to your problem...

however, if you arent using Mending, I would suggest that you add it. You will be godly with Mending and never die.

To the OP the thing you did is to take the quest in the first place that sets things in motion right there.When you take any quest it sets a script up that set things in motion.This why I like it when I run ppl around especially down the Shiverpeaks is to have NO active quests all runners ask for this.When soloing,dueling and farming you don't do any questing at all as I said it set things in motion like the mobs.That could of been your problem.This is ok for a party to take quest that is what it is for but not soloing or deuling it.

The simple answer is: no.
unless you are able to cower behind one of the corners so they can't hit you directly, but you probably will burn to death if not crushed by falling rocks first.

what are you doing wasting your time w/ them anyways. I assume if you are soloing uw on a war, you do so for ecto or the thrill of killing aatxes. You're certainly won't be killing smites.
