^ It works.

<3 Chokey.

Rothan Celt · Jan 21, 2009, 04:17 PM // 16:17

certainly does work

i remember having a rather pointless argument about a UWSC once with a friend. He insisted i went necro >.>

anyway from the look of this it will work well! and nothing beats blasting undead rioting dudes with a big beam o light!

thanks for posting!

Ummmm..... too bad i don't have a monk to try that , looks fun indeed.

Looks like it time to dust off the monk and go play in the uw. thanks for the post

So how do you beat the groups of aataxes on your way to Vale? Rumor has it that RoJ causes them to come after you

Nevermind

Unreal Havoc · Jan 21, 2009, 04:51 PM // 16:51

RoJ as far as I know doesn't cause scatter, hence why it's used alot in VSF. If the Assassin has lower armour than the Monk they should not break away from the Assassin.

I don't think that's the reason...Assassin = 70, Monk = 60

Its perma you can run around naked if you wanted to in vale.

Kellandersen · Jan 21, 2009, 05:15 PM // 17:15

A video of the run would be very helpfull for us monks who has never done UWSC before. Anyway thx for build.

Chokey · Jan 21, 2009, 05:20 PM // 17:20

I'd just like to point out,our first actual clear we had a time of 21 mins,but this can quite obviously be reduced,for example,I'm not pro at vale and need to get better. I'd post up a screenshot if I'd thought to take one.

Rak Orgon of Beowulf · Jan 21, 2009, 07:46 PM // 19:46

sounds fun, i should try it.
until A-net comes in with the scatter AI and re-ruins RoJ

Truegen · Jan 21, 2009, 08:13 PM // 20:13

After talking to C H O K E Y I realized something...

I run a whole lotta Vale sin, and I don't ever need any heals besides the regen/heal I get from Refuge...as such, I'd argue that those three heals are mis-placed and should be more damage-oriented (since N/Rt's don't offer any heals either)

I'm gonna argue that you can just use Vigorous Spirit as a nice little heal booster, so here's what I came up with:

Old Build
[build prof=Monk/Mesmer][Auspicious Incantation][Arcane Echo][Ray of Judgment][Great Dwarf Weapon]["By Ural's Hammer!"][Shield of Absorption][Dwayna's Kiss][Resurrection Chant][/build]
Smiter Variant
[build prof=Mo/Me smit=12+1+3 heal=10 div=2+1 insp=8][Auspicious Incantation][Arcane Echo][Ray of Judgment][Great Dwarf Weapon]["By Ural's Hammer!"][Judge's Insight][Vigorous Spirit][Strength of Honor][/build]

Big damage boost and more than enough of a heal through Vigorous. Comments?

And btw guys, tell Snow Bunny "Without Any Mercy" said Hey

I'm hoping that never happens, but for the moment its here, gotta make the best out of it

@ Truegen: I like your variant, personally I'd leave Judge's Insight off the bar and keep the ress.

_Nihilist_ · Jan 21, 2009, 09:31 PM // 21:31

Myself and a few allies ran a full RoJ team with 2 Permas for Plains through UW. Worked like a charm.

Disco Ball of Doom sez "o HAI!" to anything that gets in your way. In HM, RoJ causes scatter

.

Chokey · Jan 21, 2009, 09:47 PM // 21:47

If RoJ causes scatter in HM, would you mind explaining how we didn't get any scatter with two RoJs hitting at the same time? Either it doesn't cause scatter or I'm pro at bodyblocking. I'm willing to eat my words, but I generally block foes against walls when I vale, for paranoias sake.

<3 Chokey

Loot Junkie · Jan 22, 2009, 01:34 AM // 01:34

I've seen RoJ ruin a uwsc run before. It was in the labyrinth and the attxes scattered right into the lab reaper and killed it. It looks as though the valer will have to block his enemies up against walls for this to work reliably.

Chokey · Jan 22, 2009, 08:06 AM // 08:06

It doesn't take more than a few seconds to bodyblock, so long as you know how to do it.We'll probably write out a basic guide with pictures at some point.

Zodiac Meteor · Jan 22, 2009, 10:02 PM // 22:02

you know that a-net will see this and

Spiritz · Jan 22, 2009, 10:09 PM // 22:09

Karoli eat ur words - remember in hm ai are set to scatter at any aoe and you`ve admitted ur body blocking which stops scattering :P
There is a post on guru somewhere that covers bodyblocking .
Btw karoli - wheres my cookies as im still waiting weeks for them :P
Ganni did u steal my cookies ?
