i was inspired by Racthoh's W/N build, so i improvised my own, and i find this build to be extremely easy to run.

Skills:

Gladiators Defense
Disciplined Stance
Shield Stance
Bonetti's Defense
Dolyak Signet
Enfeeble
Price of Failure
Healing Signet

Attributes:

10+4 Tactics
10+1 Strength
11 Curses

Equipment:
Any Wand
-2/45 Stance CC Shield
Best Absortion Rune you have
Best Vigor rune you have

now, you probably think ive gone overboard on stances, but i need to always be in a stance, since Price of Failure will be my main damage dealer.

running this build is extremely simple: aggro only a pair of aataxes at a time, but make it so that only 1 is attacking you, using the stairs on either side as blockers, like so:

you might be familiar with this if you did racthoh's build before

then, hit dolyak signet, shield stance, caste, enfeeble, and then start casting Price of Failure. Since PoF has a 3 second casting time, you always want to hit enfeeble first as bait. but regardless, this happens all too often:

the numbers might be big, but dont worry too much. just hit healing signet, and since PoF only has 10 second recharge but Savage is 20, just start casting it again without worry.

now its as simple as alternating between stances, hitting bonetti's whever you need energy, and casting PoF, Enfeeble, and Healing Signet, the last 2 as often as possible but PoF only after a bonetti's since it has a large energy cost.

remember: always have stances up and do not end stances until they start blinking, with the exception of bonetti's if you want to heal.

for later aggroes, use the side of staircases to line the aataxes up:

its that easy.

if you have any questions, feel free to pm me anytime im online

OMG nice....I dont post much but -
Racthoh your legendary build was too hard for me to time right-im lose my nerve way too easily.

Sweet build Knido.Fow armour here i come ...only 105 ectos and shards to go!

Shadow-Hunter · Jun 10, 2006, 12:16 AM // 00:16

So i would just aggro the gasping darknesses and then hit Gladiators def + Dolyak O.o ?

Edit: Woa, just tryed vs the gasps.. And Omg its easy O.o did they do like 0 dmg ^^ too bad i got wasted cus the conor i found to fight some aatxe in was so big that 2 aatxes could hit me at the same time.. and then a group of Gasps came along too <.< .. But a great guide

Grasping use Flurry, so they're doing about 0-1 damage every time without defense boosts.

Gladiators -> Bonetti's -> Gladiator's -> Bonettis... along those lines.

Wow...I really wanna try this

When america gets favour...

Riceboi · Jun 10, 2006, 09:35 AM // 09:35

Would it kill them any faster if you added Reckless Haste in the build?

Knido · Jun 10, 2006, 11:30 AM // 11:30

hm, you could take out enfeeble i suppose, but im worried about energy then, since im still cramped a bit for energy even as it is. and anyways, i dont have factions yet ><, so if someone could test this out it would be awesome

stiffler · Jun 10, 2006, 01:01 PM // 13:01

I knew there was a reason why I made the choice to have Necro as 2nd pro for my Warrior. Great stuff!!!

*Starts waving for attention*

How long does it take to finish one run and normally how many ectos do you get?

Koning · Jun 10, 2006, 02:51 PM // 14:51

nice build and its indeed very easy, only it takes too long, cleared all aatxes in 1.5 hour or so only 1 ecto

but it's fun to do, only don't expect to get rich i think.

randombuyer · Jun 10, 2006, 05:33 PM // 17:33

can this clear any smites?

0-2 ectos a run if your lucky. I sometimes UW solo with me W/Me (Its posted somewhere in teh warrior forums thingie) but ehh, not worth it really.

Gizmo Loco · Jun 10, 2006, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Sweet, I'll definately give this a go. Then I can solo it on 2 of my characters, niether of them monk! :P

Prince Zyphr · Jun 30, 2006, 04:47 PM // 16:47

I'm interested in both Yours and Rachtoh's builds. And I have been meaning to try both of them, but currently my computer is getting some upgrades. But I dont want to claim my self as a solo UW War expert but I was wondering if instead of price of failure you could take Plague Touch. That way you can transfer the deep wound and bleeding (if you dont use deadly riposte like in this build). That way with the deep wound off it'll be easier to maintain hp and faster to kill the Aatxe's. Only bad thing about Plague Touch would be its uselessness after the Aatxes. Anyway just wondering if that would work.

BrutusV · Jun 30, 2006, 05:00 PM // 17:00

Aatxes have "monster-only mending" so bleeding doesn't do squat to them damage wise.

Prince Zyphr · Jun 30, 2006, 07:04 PM // 19:04

I realize they have natural regen-- with this build transfering the bleeding will kill off that natural regen making them easier to kill --- + deep wound would (i think) help them die faster.

Guitary Boy · Jun 30, 2006, 07:14 PM // 19:14

Sweet, i been using this build for a while now, got a good 20 ecto's all together (smites as well) and i adjusted the build a bit to take on a few other things

Hehe, and ive seen in a post lamba the great (i think thats the name) was using a warrior for uw duo! bye bye sb 55 monks???

Racto figured out glads defence (if you read this racto get thinking on what he was using) and warriors could be the new 55's

Across The Battle · Jun 30, 2006, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Dont insult racthoh like that guitary ;-)
