These are updated builds to farm underworld with two Ritualist. Alternative to other dual farming builds. Quite effective, fast, and fairly safe for average experienced UW farmers. It's meant to farm Blade Aatxes and Smites for Ecto's, or maybe completing UW quest. The 330hp Tank alone can do alot of quick damage, while Spirit Bomber lays Spirits and use Painful bond to do even more damage! Mainly mean't for Hard Mode, as tanker needs Spirit Bond to trigger everytime from hits. Check it out!

================================================== ========

330hp Rt/Mo Vengeful Spirit Bonder (Tanker): Role is to tank enemies while doing lots of quick damage. Click on name to check out the original thread for this build.

Equipment: Any lowest possible rated armor from Shing Jea Monastery in Cantha. Lowest armor rating is 15 for each armor piece. Restoration Headwrap with Superior Restoration rune. Radiant Insignias on all 5 pieces of armor, 3 Attunement runes on 3 other pieces, and any Superior Ritualist rune on one other armor piece to get Health to 330. Any max inscribable staff with 20% recharge, 10% casting (swift staff head), "Seize the Day" (+15 energy) inscription, and most important a 20% Enchantment wrap. Any one handed weapon with +5 energy and 20% enchants, with any offhand for energy. Staff is recommended to get better benefits including Half recharge and Half casting of all spells. Mastery or Attribute of staff doesn't matter, as they all do the same no matter what the staff requires.

Template: OAOj4gPaIPWMiX9QLiXxH6D5BA

Attributes:

Restoration: 12+3+1 (16)
Protection" 10
Smiting: 8

Skill Set:

[build prof=rt/mo nosave box}[Vengeful Was Khanhei][Vengeful Weapon][Protective Spirit][Spirit Bond][Reversal of Damage][Retribution][Essence Bond][Balthazar's Spirit][/build]

Counters: (Knockdowns, Interruptions, and Enchantment Stripping, Touch Skills or Life Stealing from Enemies)

Usage:

Dying Nightmares: Always have Spirit Bomber scan areas for Dying Nightmares before pulling a group of Blade Aatxes...This will help keep your enchaments from being stripped and leading to more time taken up. Also, there are NPC spirits in the starting Chamber that you and your partner can safely stand behind if needed. You might get enchants stripped while pulling one of the two groups of Blade Aatxes above the stairs and on each side. Just Cast Protective Spirit, let recharge, run and pull Blades, let yourself get stripped, renew Protective Spirit, then run back towards NPC spirit's and stand behind them Safely. Kill Dying Nightmare with Vengeful Weapon or VwK. When Dying Nightmare is dead and you are safe from getting hit from Blades, recast your enchants and move on to killing Blades. If a Dying Nightmare pops up when you are in the area where Smites are located, just renew Protective Spirit and run to a safe area and towards the Spirits your partner layed down. Hit Spirit Bond when Smites and Dying Nightmare are approaching you, then use VwK when they are all attacking, and recast Essence Bond and Balthazar's before VwK ends. Then you will be all set on energy. Dying Nightmare should die while you are tanking the Smites.

Blade Aatxes: Cast Protective Spirit, pull acouple to a safe spot within earshot of your partner's Spirits. Cast VwK just before they hit you to avoid interruptions. Spam Vengeful Weapon or Reversal of damage here and there, but not to much to avoid draining your energy too low. Half way through Protective Spirits duration, renew Protective Spirit incase of getting it interrupted. Does use up more energy renewing half way through duration, but keeps you alive. So when Protective Spirit gets interrupted, it will recharge and be ready to use again before current one ends. Cast Spirit Bond before VwK ends, and renew VwK is recharging to keep health up and counter Bleeding. Try to hit Spells at the same time they are about to hit you to help avoid interruptions. Try not to spam Spells if not needed, to make sure your energy doesn't drain too low. Repeat usage until they are dead. Also, your energy might be low after killing off acouple Aatxes, if so, just take off your enchants and let energy gain up. Then re-apply enchanments, let Spirit Bomber lay some spirits, and move on to next group until chamber is clear of Aatxes.

Graspings: After clearing the main chamber of Blades Aatxes, grab the quest from NPC called "Clear the Chamber". Make sure to only pull one group at a time, as they drain energy pretty good. With one group you shouldn't have much energy problems. After Spirit Bomber lays some spirits and is ready for you to pull... Cast Protective Spirit, and aggro a group of Graspings. As soon as they start coming towards you, immediately hit VwK to avoid interruptions. Then pull them within attacking range of your partner's Spirits. And tank until they are all dead... they should die with in once usage of VwK. So around 10-15 seconds the group should be dead. Then repeate steps for clearing the chamber of Grasp and completing the quest.

The Run: The run is just after you complete the "Clear the Chamber" quest. Everything should be out of your way until you get to the narrow passage way that is before and right of the big set of stairs. When you are at the entrance of the passage way, wait until the two Blade Aatxes to patrol in out of the way of patrolling Grasp. Take out the two Blade Aatxes. Then Take out the patrolling Grasp. If there is a Dying Nightmare with them, recast Protective Spirit just after you enchants are stripped, and before you get hit by Graspings. Then Tank without Retribution, Essence Bond, and Baltazar's Spirit. You will have enough energy to kill them off. After Graspings are dead, move on to next gruop of two Blade Aatxes and kill them off. Then run up the stairs and you will be in the area of Smites.

Smites: When you get to Smites, take off Retribution and don't use Reversal of Damage. They will trigger their Reversal of Fortune, and will heal them a bit. Also it will lead to taking more damage. Stick to Life Stealing spells to kill off Smites. Smites will do some damage to you while holding VwK, so use Spirit Bond at all times when needed. They also attack pretty fast, so Spirit Bond will run out quickly, so be sure to spam it as much as possible. Pull only one small group of Smites to a safe area, away from Coldfire patrols. Cast Protective Spirit as they are approaching, hit Spirit Bond and keep on until all Smites are around and attacking you. When all are attacking, use VwK and pull them within attacking range of Spirits. Then begin tanking and spamming Vengeful Weapon. Rinse and Repeat if needed until they are all dead and move on to next group. You and your partner will have to plan out where the safe spots are for pulling, and Spirits will be layed. Any place safely away from Coldfire's patrols.

Coldfire Nights: It's good to avoid these at all times as they have good interruption, if you don't know how to avoid it. Which can kill you. They can be killed fairly easy. All you have to do is walk around and out of the way of their Maelstrom spell to avoid getting interruptions. Everytime they cast one on you, simple just move out of its range and you will be safe to cast your spells. The patrols are pretty easy to avoid. They also don't drop any ecto's, so not worth farming. Only kill if you accidently aggro'd a group, or if they are in your way. You can also you Retribution and Reversal of Damage to kill these faster. They should die pretty quickly with the damage that will be done from your damage, and Spirit Bombers Damage. So they can easily be removed out of your way.

================================================== ========

Ritualist Spirit Bomber (Rt/Mo): Role is to lay spirits down, and hex enemies with Painful Bond to do Massive amounts of damage. Spirits also help against AoE fleeing enemies, as they don't do adjacent damage. Also, to use Mend Body and Soul on Tanker when needed for conditions and healing. Can also click on name for my new thread I posted for this type of build.

Equipment: Any max armor with 5 Radiant Runes, A Superior Communing on Communing Head piece, and Superior Channeling on another piece. A Minor, Major or Sup Vigor rune, with 1 Minor Restoration, and 1 Minor Spawning. A high energy, Channeling or Communing inscribable Staff with Fortitude or +1 (20%) Master of My Domain wrap with +15 energy "Seize the Day" inscription for more energy. With a +5 energy Insightful or 10% casting Swift staff heads.

Template Code: OAOkAyhiITKU503kP45U0W1k0kMB

Attributes:

Communing: 12+1+3 (16)
Channeling: 12+3 (15)
Restoration: 2+1 (3)
Spawning: 2+1 (3)

Skill Set:

[build prof=rt/mo nosave box][Bloodsong][Pain][Vampirism][Wanderlust][Anguish][Painful Bond][Mend Body and Soul][Rebirth][/build]

Alternative Skills: Some Spirits can be replaced if needed for a certain situation, but attack spirits will speed things up with Painful Bond.

Usage: This role is pretty simple. Just lay spirits in the exact line of skill set in a safe spot for tank to pull towards. Longer lasting spirits to shorter lasting spirits. Begin laying the shorter duration Spirits as soon as tanker is about to pull enemies. Always Stand behind spirits incase of fleeing enemies. Cast Painful bond on enemies when gathered around close to tanker. Use Mend Body and Soul when tanker has bleeding or any other conditions on him. So, try to stay targeted on the tanker instead of enemies most of the time. Lay more spirits when charged if their duration wears off when there is still enemies alive. Usually one set of spirits will kill them off. But, when dealing with Smites and their SoJ (Shield of Judgement), they will kill off some of the spirits. So just cast new spirits when they die off, to kill rest of Smites. Most important, try not to aggro more than what tanker has. Always place spirits in a safe spot away from patrolling enemies. Incase tanker dies, run away from spirits and let them take aggro and damage. If enemies kill off spirits, try to lay new ones before enemies reach you to avoid gettin hit. Spirits alone should kill off anything before they can kill you. But if all else fails, just keep running until enemies turn around. Then go and ressurect the Tanker when area is safe. Will take a couple runs to figure out places to lay the spirits down safely. This role is not hard at all.

================================================== ========

Well there is the updated Dual UW Ritualist builds. I was going to update the old post, but I thought I should start out fresh since the tanker is a bit different now. I have not yet to try this dual with my 330hp yet, but I guarantee its going to be alot faster with 330hp... than the old builds.

================================================== ========

Have Fun and Peace Out!

I never really keep track when I do duals, and I dont really dual UW that much. I have used the old dual UW acouple times, and it worked good. But will take acouple runs to learn it well, and beable to do runs fast as possible. I can imagine this dual with my new 330hp will be twice as fast as my old ones.... Blades Aatxes would probably go down in around 10-12 seconds.

It's also hard to find a Ritualist to do duals with... so I don't get a chance to full test it out with someone. I'll give it a go something here sometime soon, try to get my brother to dual with me... Best thing to do is find someone you can practice the builds with and time yourself at the best. I'm guessing 30 minutes would be a good time, and 45 at the most. Then again, I'm not much of a fan of duals....don't profit much. this will be worth trying out though if you have someone to do duals with all the time.

ReZDoGG · Jul 22, 2007, 02:45 PM // 14:45

I have confirmed that this dual works really well in HM. Blade Aatxes can go down in about 8-10 seconds... Definately up there with the best dual builds for UW. I haven't yet to try it on the Smites and see how fast it is, as we died from a damn late spawning Nightmare while I was just about to kill acouple Blade Aatxes on the way to Smites. There is almost never a Nightmare that far in that damn passage way... But yeah, its worth giving a try.

Sergeant of Marines · Jul 23, 2007, 02:05 AM // 02:05

Me and my Friend tried this out about 5 to 10 times the other night, it worked great, Cleared the smites...Coldfires are the easiest things to take down, they go down in about 5 seconds. Thanks for the build.

Solus Spartan · Dec 13, 2007, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Lots of claims, yet this would be clearly slower than 600/smite, and alot less safe. Also no spellbreaker. Also I don't know why you are bumping it.

Anarion Silverhand · Dec 13, 2007, 06:39 AM // 06:39

Prepare for flaming, thou shall not criticize RezzDog!

Koning · Dec 13, 2007, 09:02 AM // 09:02

hahahaha rezdog plz delete yourself from this forum NOW! Or do you like to get flamed, and get called 'good' by nubs (since some ppl still fail to see that al your threads are full of BS).

I have used dual smite, and it is definately slower. The tank in this build does major damage itself, then have the spirits major damage on top of that... Aatxes go down pretty fast. Also, Spellbreaker is for newbs in UW.
It is for People that don't know how to handle Dying Nightmares.

But yeah, I don't care... nothing to really flame here. I know I have posted this along time ago... so I decided to bump. It is definately fun to use. I also hate how people flames builds before actually tryin it out... I know some builds can be easy to pick apart, but this actually works. If my 330hp can solo UW in HM fairly quick, having spirit bomber to dual with only makes it like 2-3 times faster and safer.

Flamer of all Flamers, don't matter what forum you are on... lol sad stuff. Also, calling other people newbs is just wrong in your situation.

And how many builds have you posted? oh yeah, none.

why would you bump?
subjects die for good reasons

Avatar Exico · Dec 13, 2007, 09:38 PM // 21:38

nice build. Would Ritual Lord make alot of the Spirits more spammable, i can see that once they are put down wait for them to recharge. Spiritier will have energy management problems.

You can if you want, but at the time I just threw in dissonance, even though it is not really needed. And I didn't use both 25 energy spirits at the same time... but, yeah I would definately replace dissonance with something else... Pain Inverter would cause some major damage. heh. I woulda have put in Vampirism instead, but there still ain't no skill cards for them. Also, I didn't use any spawning, but if you need to, just put down channelin a notch, and put the rest in spawning... can also take the 3 points from restoration, then see if you can add them on to spawning. then put thel eft over points into restoration.

Haha, this shows how stupid you are.

First off, making bad things like this isn't good. You're rather backfiring yourself here. Second, I've told you in a PM once what I did, and that was of a whole bigger impact. Try searching again

.... But let's not make a 'Onoes mine is bigger' thread.

OT

When rend enchantments was 3 sec cast, you could get away without spellbreaker (wanding them death b4 they finish). Now, there's no otherway than running back to that ghost which takes ALOT of time to set enchants up again.
Conclusion: This is bad and I guess you're the 'newb' yourself. Bad like all those other pathetic ideas in various other threads under your name, which get bumped like this every day it seems.
1 There are edit buttons for a reason (you still haven't found it, it seems)
2 Like said above, threads die for a reason so there's no reason to bump it if ppl don't like it.

They should ban you like they do in ventari's sell...

Heh, your such a sad sad lonely person you know that? Your E/Me UW build died along time ago.... sorry your not smart enough to come up with something else.

You get off on arguin huh? I thought so... But yeah, this build works, try it if you don't believe me... or you just too scared to be proved wrong?

And Spellbreaker is for newbs, no sense trying to defend yourself. It is already confirmed...

blackknight1337 · Dec 14, 2007, 12:48 AM // 00:48

lol both of you need to put a lid on it, or take it to PM's.

Both builds from you guys still work, E/Me and 330 rit, though Konig's got hit with the nerfbat twice before (visages and sandstorm), 330 rit hasn't got touched AFAIK. And seriously it makes no difference, one is for NM and the other for HM.

As far as 600/smite goes, you can aggro the whole chamber with it in HM, and do just fine. If the 600 and smiter are on the same track, you can kill them off ridiculously fast. Spellbreaker is not for newbs, it + mantra make HM uw a walk in the park, and it is fast to boot. GL trying to aggro the whole chamber without SB.

And bumping your own thread to show off is pretty lame reguardless...anyway I suggest you take your arguements and personal attacks off the boards, and use PM's if you can't live without flaming someone.

Solus Spartan · Dec 14, 2007, 01:51 AM // 01:51

I fail to see how this is faster than a 600/Smite

Let's look at a few pros & cons

Pro's.
~It's a pro build (NOT FOR NOOBS!!!), therefore it's faster.

Con's.
~Alot harder to find a Ritty parnter than a Monk
~Micro of SpiritBond & Spirits needed if using a hero
~Less Safe
~Requires Set up time
~The "spirit bomber" is kind of useless
~KD is not useless in UW HM, you actually want them to attack you
~Slower, more complex
~Rushed, not very well thought out concept
~I don't see how the Ritty will have the energy for all these spirits

makosi · Dec 14, 2007, 01:59 AM // 01:59

Looks great, I'll have to try this.

Just a couple of thoughts to add though:

1) Would it help the spirit spammer if he had Boon of Creation for energy management?
2) Could the tank replace Reversal of Damage for either condition removal (Purifying Veil or Mending Touch) or Shield of Absorbtion for relief when VwK is down?

Thanks for another quality guide!
