I'm using your build extensively, Avarre and it works great with practice.

Only thing is, from what I've seen Hydra farming seems to be more efficient than UW farming with it. (Those Aatxes take SO...LONG... to kill, it's much more dangerous, and there's the 1k entrance fee) I can rake in about 25k a day mainly Hydra farming with this build; how much do people make UW farming with it?

I did one run today and got about 40k from it, but that had alot to do with the superior vigor I got from a chest... Like I said, when this build was written ectos were 15k each

When two spawn, the abosolute best thing is to wand one dead and quickly interrupt the second as soon as your second wand attack is fired. If you're quick, you can take both down.

As for a mesmer SS, spirit of failure (+4) is used to compensate for energy, when combined with SoD for miss chance, gives quite decent returns.

Btw, after doing some soloing with my N/mo with SS.. then i have found out that its complitely possible to Solo the smiters and Aatxes without any kind of interupting.. (little help from Benton tho).. So, would some anti interupt work instead of Power Drain like Mantra of Recall? I mean, the interupts is really killing sometimes.. where as the Nightmares is just Run like hell when they pop.. Seems better than the interupt imo =x
Think ima try that.. Anyways, very good guide again :P (y i think i have said it before but flame me for saying it 2 times if i have done so ^^ )

Interrupt also serves as energy management against Terrorwebs/Coldfires, and you can't always run from nightmares - if they're grouped with darknesses, or spawn near and behind walls. Resolve would also leave the potential situation of getting drained heavily -> if you have 20 energy and need to cast hb/prot, cast breeze, get hit in resolve, you won't have energy for prot spirit. Then you die.

You have an anti interrupt anyways, it is called SV

I have been 55 ME/MO ing the UW for a while now with this build. That said, if more then one shadow pops up it's no problem. You wait about 1 to 1 and 1/2 second then hit "Cry of Frustration", it will intterupt as many things in your area that are casting. Then you just wand them to death and continue on with the Atax or smite or whatever. I had 2 shadows pop on me last week and it worked perfectly. The trick is to wait the seconds to give both a chance to start casting.

Amazing stuff, better response =D

Avarre · Aug 11, 2006, 09:13 AM // 09:13

Where is the justice when I UW'ed for 3 hours and got nothing, and he gets that?!

At least I got some 'taxes' from him

Opeth11 · Aug 11, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Maybe I should finally get around to trying to solo the Underworld..and keep the 'taxes' away from you, Avarre D:

Avarre · Aug 11, 2006, 09:35 AM // 09:35

I think you'll be exempt from the RedRoosterTax, Opeth

Opeth11 · Aug 11, 2006, 09:46 AM // 09:46

=_= Watch me quadruple your yearly earnings in one week. Anyways, how long do you think it will take to catch on to the build? A day or two?

lambda the great · Aug 11, 2006, 09:48 AM // 09:48

The last pics you saw from me is my third time in UW with mesmer ;p

Opeth11 · Aug 11, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

Yeah, but Lambda, you're a farming machine o.o

I'm not.

Mera Regila · Aug 11, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

Hmm... I don't know of many who would think of IW on a Me/Mo for solo ANYTHING. Are you the one who posted the Ghail Solo using a similar build? I am inspired, I think I might make a mesmer instead of my new ele.

Avarre · Aug 12, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

No, I despise green farming so I have never really tried to solo bosses in cantha. That similar build was posted by someone else.

lambda the great · Aug 18, 2006, 06:18 AM // 06:18

wilbert darklord · Aug 24, 2006, 03:18 AM // 03:18

wow this is a great build, i have a mesmer that i recently made and decided to try out this build. The Build worked wonders, but i always have problems when i take on teh graspings. is there a way to avoid them? or an "alternative" run?

Avarre · Aug 24, 2006, 11:16 AM // 11:16

You need to take out the graspings to open the doors to the chamber and smites. Just make sure you don't cast when they first arrive (they tend to open with an interrupt), get SV up before they reach you or after their interrupts are gone, and hack away.

SV is the key against graspings.

Avarre · Sep 22, 2006, 06:43 AM // 06:43

Just an announcement, NF is out, which means more delightful stuff. At this rate, Anet will overpower this build...

See first post! Thanks.
