Thanks for the awesome build, Avarre!

I'm soloing Hydras with the greatest of ease and practicing for the UW!

Slainster · Jul 11, 2006, 12:49 PM // 12:49

Ill try this once Ive completed my survivor titles

Avarre · Jul 11, 2006, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Not before?

nightsquire · Jul 11, 2006, 08:19 PM // 20:19

I tried this, and I just can't Underworld solo with it. Its probably my fault though, as i just become so nervous in there with the nightmare, and forget to cast my spirit until the aatxes have con too far. i guess it's just my nerves, but i'd love to have some ingame help. I was thinking of maybe a complete prot spirit, healing breeze, interrupt mesmer. That way your elite could be spellbreaker (for those ngithmares), and you could continually cast echoed clumsiness on the attxes. i don't know, just a thought.

But i do adore farming outside of aughury rock with this build. it is incredible, i just cant use it in the area it was built for, which sounds stupid, btu im either not fast enough, or too nervous.
\
anyway, here are some pics of my mass farming with it in augury:

Being nervous and new to the run is practically a physical detrimental force to you. One you get more comfortable running the build and area, it will become a lot easier. A good idea is to try the solo build in areas like you are now, and the 2-man build to learn UW, nm patterns, etc. After which it is a good deal easier, especially as while 2 manning you have res - you can learn your limits easier and practice charging in

Avarre i wanna thank you for all theese builds they are reat!
I used your UW build to farm Blessed Griffons outside Camp Rancor and it is great the drop quiet good drops sometimes and alot of gold.
I saw you wrote they dont drop much but they actually do i have got alot of golden items from them often bows and sometimes sword once i even got a Fellblade.
Well it was Req 13 and it wasn't a big profit but anyways you make pretty much money and they are very easy.
I got a movie when im farming theese at that run they dont drop anything good but trust me they really do drop good stuff so if you have given up hope on other farming palces try this!

Edit: So sorry i double posted im blaming my computer for that its slow and i thought it stoped and pressed again, sorry. And i
forgot to say that the movie is the old version now i got Chaneling instead of Power Drain for extra energy.

the build has been working great but i always run into trouble with coldfires(solo) i know i can run away from mael storm but thats always a pain in the...butt... any special words of wisdom?

and night squire i recommend for hydras and griffons that you use the troll farming build replacing mantra of resolve with flame like Avarre has, much more efficient imo.

Avarre · Jul 20, 2006, 07:49 AM // 07:49

Ugh, for coldfires there's not much to it except move in and start hitting, interrupting maelstroms as possible. You CAN stand in maelstrom and cast if your timing is very good, but it's generally better to pull out of it's range and wand them until it ends, or move around to another coldfire that's not in the radius.

MMSDome · Jul 20, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

o yea and 1 last question whats the name of the song in the video

Avarre · Jul 21, 2006, 10:35 AM // 10:35

Search thread, so many people ask and the answer is everywhere :O

Avarre, have you tired a Spirit bond version of this build?

A solo Spirit Bond build would probably look something like this:

Illusionary Weaponry, Protective Spirit, Spirit Bond, Power Drain, Sympathetic Visage, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit, Elemental Resistance
12 + 1 + 1 Illusion, 8 Protection Prayers, 10 + 1 Fast Casting

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?

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 02, 2006, 01:53 AM // 01:53

That would depends on how many ectos that drops.. >_> i have done Full runs where 0 ectos dropped, in this case its only what you get from the gold + crappy merch stuff -1k.. Other times you get 4 ectos in a Run, witch can make a neat profit of around 28k ..
Edit: altho, its still more profitable to 2 man UW, becouse with a necro you can lay down like 10+ enemys in the same time as you lay 1 down solo x.x

Darth Marth · Aug 02, 2006, 02:03 AM // 02:03

I know. With a 600 tank and Smiting bonder, a 2-Mesmer team can be as fast as a 55 and SS.

Runs take something like 20 or so minutes for a 2-man group, right?

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 02, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

2 man mesmer team.. Exactley how is the SS build for the mesmer :P ? It seems possble as its just a change around of the N/Me prof. But the lack of Soul Reaping must make it sucky to w8 around for energy, where the necro just see xx monsters * 11 energy over his head after a battle.

And yea, i guess that a 55/SS Monk+Necro team can do the smiters around that time maybe a little faster/slower depending on how the Monk Aggro..

~Shadow :P

Darth Marth · Aug 02, 2006, 02:21 AM // 02:21

No, the 600 tank tanks and the bonder uses Retribution and Holy Wrath to do around 50 damage per attack. It's about as fast, and the bonder doesn't have to do anything.

Ragged_Ine · Aug 09, 2006, 10:13 AM // 10:13

I had a question about the necro's bar that you posted. What is the use of Vengence?
Also I have ran this in the Uw a few times solo and I found that the best possible thing to do when 2 nightmares spawn is to interupt one, then when the other renders your enchants, recast prot spirit very quickly and try to break agro with what ever mobs are on you. With a ss necro, I have held a mob of coldnight's before with just prot and and SOD after 2 nightmares spawned. But that takes alot of work from the necro and the 55, so breaking agro is probley the best thing to do.

Sorry lol, I just really wanted to say thank you for the author to spend his time patiently going through the guild!

Vengence is used to res a dead 55-er. Due to having a low health to begin, and the death penalty, they will drop dead straight away if ressed with Rebirth or Resurrect because they are based on a percentage of their health.

Vengence is used as it brings them back with full health, so they can swap armour or weapon set to increase their health. When Vengence end and they die, they can then be ressed with Rebirth or Resurrect.
