Im finally at the UW stage! Only to find out my build is so crap I die in 2min -_-

I basicly want a build with skills from Proph because I dont have the rest :P Also I dont have any elite's :x nor friends so a hench build would be nice. Im willing to cap elites but I dont know wich ones and where since Augury Rock is about as far as I got

Im just so bad at making builds

Anyone got any suggestions?

Ok...

1. Do you want to solo, go duel, or in a group? For any of them there are some good builds if you search the relevant sections of the forum.

2. There are other sites such as pvxwiki.com that specialise in builds, but if you do not know how to use your character, there is no point trying to use other peoples builds, so I recommended searching for a basic ele guide and learn a bit more first.

3. Most builds are effective because they utilise a wide range of skills from all the guildwars chapters, this is not to say it cant be done, but if you can afford to spend a tenner, why not log onto play's website and get NF, where you get powerful hero's to help you in your quests, or factions where you can get the much sought after Vengeful Was Kanai elite which loads of people use to solo most of the areas in guildwars.

If you just want an answer without taking any of this into consideration however, then check out:

I hope that helps.

P.S. If you are doing underworld purely for money, it might be worth farming elsewhere, ecto's do not drop as often as you might like, and when they do, prices plummit. I usually get a few keys or lockpicks and open high end chests in shiverspeaks and alike areas, keep whats decent and sell the rest un-id'd for 1k each.

So first, there are no henchies allowed in UW, so if you can't find a PUG or some mates, you'll be doing it solo since you don't have access to NF or GW:EN heroes.
Second, Joshysan gave some good advice about where to find builds. If you are in fact going solo, you have a *very* limited skill set you can bring. Otherwise, if in a PUG (and if you can find one that doesn't require Ursan from GW:EN) then many general builds focused on damage/wards/etc will probably be just fine.
Lastly, the Underworld will always be there. If you only have proph and just got to Augery Rock, there is still lots to do in the regular game. Have Fun! Finish the crystal desert, get your extra attribute points, finish the storyline, etc.
Enjoy!

Hmm, terra tanks are always welcome in UW groups whether you are talking about Tomb of the Primeval Kings or the "toll booth" variety of ToA where you have to pay to get in. E/Me:mantra of earth, stone striker, stoneflesh aura, glyph of swiftness, Obsidian flesh(elite), sliver armor, arcane echo, crystal wave is what i like to use. Unfortunately sf aura and stone striker are NF skills so you might have to get creative w/ those slots(mantra of earth=only good w/ stonestriker), w/ some tweaking you can get something nearly as effective.

My advice is you learn to play before you bother wasting time in the Underworld...

1st suggestion: go cap some elites. if you ping your build for any team and have no elites for it, you will not be a popular person in the group. the best elite for you to be able to cap in prophs is [obsidian flesh]. useful for many farming builds. with this skill you should be able to throw something together for farming.

2nd suggestion: sad to say is you're going to have to spend some real world money and get factions and NF for the terra tank build (listed above) or get EOTN for ursan. without one of those, most groups, will just kick you. it's sad to say, but true. most of the better ele elites and defense skills come from NF but factions has [sliver] which is a really good farming skill.

3rd suggestion: read these forums, read the wikis, and study builds and their associated usages and videos from pvxwiki.

EDIT: stay away from the bladed aatxes in the UW. they are a 2 hit and quit sort of enemy. you definitely can't kill them on your own at this point.

First off, complete the game before you try venturing in UW, things will be a little easier once you've become easier once you've experienced a few of the later game areas and have ready access to elite skills and such.
Second, browse PvX wiki for some builds so you have the basic understanding of what types of builds your ele can run there.
Third, try and join a guild over random pugs, as they'll typically be more inclined to help ease you into areas like UW where as a pug will just flame and kick you after the first failure.

He has gotten to Augury Rock. He can't get Obsidian Flesh until Perdition Rock.
