Hi there,

I was inspired by Racthoh's UW solo build for a W/N so I decided to create my own. Here is what I did:

Me/E

Attribute Points:

Inspiration Magic: 9
Domination Magic: 14
Earth Magic: 10
Fast Casting : 4

*Note: You'll see Physical Resistance on the screenshots, make sure you take Mantra of Resolve!*

Skills:

Ether Feast
Empathy
Spirit of Failure
Sliver Armor
Armor of Earth
Ward Against Melee
Mantra of Resolve
Signet of Midnight

Step 1: When you enter the UW you can take the right way or the left way. I took the right way first. Lure the Aatxe's while casting Spirit of Failure and walk back to the stairs so only 1 Aatxe is attack you. Use Signet of Midnight whenever its possible.

When a Nightmare appears, don't worry. Try to cast Empethy on him and he's dead within a few seconds.
Step 2: If you've cleared the right stairs, go to the left and continue with the same tactics I gave you above. Make sure Spirit of Failure, Signet of Midnight, Armor of Earth, Ward Against Melee and Empathy are always on.

Step 3: Now, go to the middle group and lure them to a spot so only one Aatxe is able to attack you.

Step 4: Now, after you've finished all the other Aatxe's, go to the Lost Soul and accept his quest.

I don't have any more screenshots of me fighting the squids etc. but I'll add them very soon

Make sure Mantra of Resolve is on when you're fighting the squids! Use the same tactics which u used against the Aatxe's

Good Luck!

There's an E/Me version too!

Very nice, but is Sliver Armor enough to take down the smites?

Shadow-Hunter · Sep 10, 2006, 07:46 PM // 19:46

Can this kill the smiters?? =o Looks nice other than that... Just gotta get some skill points e.e

Which way is faster, me/mo with IW or me/e with ele skills?

I'm not sure..I can keep Empathy constanly up and maybe I can change a skill with another dmg skill. But its really fun to solo the UW without 55hp or 600hp spirit bond.

Very soon

I will post screenshots of it after I'm back from school

KiddieCake · Sep 20, 2006, 07:21 PM // 19:21

is there any way to do it without signet midnight? THK hates me and i was wondering if there could be a replacement or something?

Doubt it. Signet of Midnight keeps them perma blind, which is pretty much needed.

But but but IW is the King of all gimmick farming skills!

Good job so far, looking forward to further testing.

Looks like avarre has a contender for Mesmer Master title :P

VG build man, i look foward to trying it out

Xaero Gouki Kriegor · Sep 22, 2006, 02:30 AM // 02:30

if this cant get to the smites, i think Me/N with price of failure, reckless haste would speed up the actual killing,

i ran a aatxe solo farmer similar to this month ago

N/Me

Signet of Midnight {E}
Price of Failure
Spirit of Failure
Reckless Haste
Empathy
Distortion
Enfeeble
Ether Feast

can't remember the exact attribute points but it went decently as well

sumasage · Sep 22, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

any chance you can post a video of the run?

i am curently a me/e, and i have all but one skill...

um.....ineptitude?? but then again that goes to the me/w or w/me ineptitude solo build

Avarre · Sep 23, 2006, 07:21 AM // 07:21

Ineptitude isn't a 100% blindness though, only 50%. (As in, coverage. SoM is 15s blind, 15s r, ineptitude is 10s blind 20s r).

Scythe IW UW-solo build says you're wrong

Among other things, to take my crown, you'd have to kill me.

KiddieCake · Sep 28, 2006, 05:40 AM // 05:40

i capped Sig of midnight and got past thk , yay!

i did a few attempts, everything goes well on the first aatxe , when it dies sig of midnight is recharging and they usually hit me pretty badly, any tips?

Ineptitude keeps them blind for 10 seconds with a 20 second recharge. SoM keeps them blind for 15 seconds with a 15 second recharge. Therefore, SoM keeps them blind permanitly, and Ineptitude keeps them blind 10 seconds with a 10 second downtime.
