Curse

I can't believe I've seen the day where monks aren't used for underworld any more. Trying to find a regular FC run is next to impossible. Does anybody have any suggestions on a monk with 7 heros for a FC run of UW? I've run it with Discord/SoS/Panic/Spirit builds on nm once and had had success clearing the whole thing but the quests tend to be the issue. Any advice?

Cons help a bit at the quests...
If you're healing, be sure to use Seed of Life!!
Discord's damage is single target damage, therefore meh at best. Try Esurge or Ineptitude in stead. Avoid the use of minions. UA can be a life saver in tight spots at quests. An e/mo prot with infuse or a ST rit should help make the damage less of a worry. On your Panic bar, be sure to use Mistrust; it can be a life saver. Those are just a few things off the top of my head. If you still need help, send me a PM, and I'll see if I can help you set it up.

Yar. I think the rit has taken over the position...

I monked in the underworld up until recently...its been roughly two months since I've been down there. Love(d) monking down there. I like the challenge of healing. I've never done it with just heroes though. We always had a full party. Never used an e/mo prot bonder, that's lame. sorry my opinion.

This is my full setup:

I'm open to suggestions for improvement. I've been considering going UA instead of smite but I think I might lose too much damage. I got a question about Dhumm as well; When hero's die to him what happens? It's my understanding that when you die to Dhumm you rez back at the vale and have to talk to the mayor to get teleported back in as a spirit, how does that work with heros? Do heros use the spirit spells effectively?

Another thing that would be helpful is a UW 7hero guide, has anyone seen one? The most updated UW guide I could find: http://ham.crypticintent.com/forums/...php?f=26&t=304

The only thing a Monk does in the UW as far as I know is provide UA like in DoA for SC.

I am like you though and would rather have slower FC.

Well, i did it with the hero's and the build i posted. The toughest challenge was actually not killing dhuum! I had him at about 20%hp when the rest bar didn't even hit half. I spend the entire fight running away from him so we didn't kill him! Other than that the clear was slow and steady.

there is a T1 variant build for monk for UWSC..
Though, ppl seem unhappy to have a monk as t1.. so cant find any groups to go with.. ^^

Monks can still do mnts easily. Pools might be challenging but if u can persuade t3 or 4 to do it then a sc will be easiest
