The reason this build fails is always down to interrupts and enchantment removal... exactly why it can't farm the Chaos Planes, enemies from there are found all over Tombs, so no.

They definatly buffed this nicely with the decreased cast time on VoS. No more pesky 1s cast skills getting past you while trying to recast and no pesky 2s cast skills sneaking by when your recasting other enchantments.

You already tried Chaos Planes with the Buff or why are u saying that?

The Dream Riders could already be killed without the update and (if wiki is right) the Mindblades have no fastcast, only 1/4 sec interrupts, and so they should be able to interrupt ur VoS.
But its only a theory, I´ll give it a try

It isn't quite solo but having 2 monks heroes with you sharing a 13+ attribute protective bond on you as a dervish pretty well lets you have free roam of the uw without much challenge i did quite a bit of that during the free uw access weekend. It of course is even better now with a quicker casting VoS.

2 monk heroes? wtf?
I hope u are in the wrong thread


Great News, Chaos Planes can be farmed quite easy


when fighting 6 or 9 keep up Vigor, else you die

Tip: when fighting a group with 2 Riders 1 Lord 3 Mindblades, go for the Riders first

You're awesome Moone, awesome build!

I managed to be successfull on my first run, bone pits+spawning pools. Thanks!

I'm gonna try the Mindblades.

Take care.

EDIT: Tried the mindblades, the 3rd spawn is hard (9 mindblades). When i had to recast Mystic Vigor before VoS they always manage to cast a Migraine or a Conjure Phantasm+Clumsiness on me, that and all the +~~15 when there is 5 of them on me, i can't manage to survive this. Well i did it on the first group ( don't ask me how lol ), but the second group owned me...

Any more advices?

I noted some strange behaviour at the Mindblades, sometimes they spawn together with a chest :O
So always watch out for chests even after the fights

@Yoze
I also got the same problem, that they get Clumsiness and stuff on me, try to get a cycle with:
Regeneration- Vow - fight - Vigor - Vow - fight - Regeneration - Vow - ....

should be enough to survive, else maybe just try to be fast ( I often manage that they only get clumsiness & conjure on me)
and if you got Regeneration on you and get low on health, just run a bit around to gain some more life

Noticed that behaviour as well.. The run just got even more rewarding.

This build can solo the whole beach, including skeels.
Really this is fantastic build, i did few solo runs in other places too, for example ice imps (its more fun as with monk).

Thanks Moone for this great build.

Not with this build, no.

As for the shadow army, I guess you could maybe try it yourself? But I am skeptical..
