I too am also thinking of making a video, im thinking game cam? A am also going to write a whole new guide in this section for w/n farming, including uw solo. I've found out a great new build for tanking and killing large mobs very fast, including casters, all credits to orgional builds will be mentioned. Im typing it up on word, and making modifications and adding area's to farm. Hopefully i will have posted it within this week or next

Read back a few posts...i took out enfeeble for enfeeble blood and disaplined stance for desacrate enchantments or equivelent. It is around 4 times faster (litterally) for smites.

good job! Looks pretty easy (Gladiator's Defense ftw) 2man uw can get boring sometimes so ill be sure to try this out for the fun =)

Knido.. your a genious!!

Spent one hour down in UW with your build and got 5 ectos

Love you man

Im Perfect U Aint · Jul 11, 2006, 11:39 PM // 23:39

id suggest replacing str req stances with tactics..there for u can have 0 into str and more into tac and curses..also id only take glads def shield stance bon's and id use defensive stance....4 tactics stances will b plenty

and maybe even instead of glads def use grenths balance to remove alot of hp quik would prolly speed up the process

u will have an xtra skill slot if u did it the way i suggested allowing u to take another curse..insideous parasite the life steal non elite version of ss would b nice cause it heals and deals dmg....but im shure theres better curses then that...maybe a shitty degen to remove the heal that the monsters seem to have

and u said pof is ur dmg dealer so y lose life with a sup tactics rune when u dont epect it to deal the dmg....12 with a ascalon helm would b fine....for the universal -2 dmg and the +1 tacticcs but a minor rune would do the trick aswell

Dark Tykane · Jul 12, 2006, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Do ya'll think oppressive gaze would be cool for this?
i havent ever used this build and i dont know how the energy goes so 15 energy might be too much but its like a FoC but triggered by weakness

X Daniel X · Jul 12, 2006, 03:18 AM // 03:18

hmm okay guys, lets think about this....
If this run takes 1.5 - 2 hours to do, and a duo uw run with the ordinary 55hp monk w/ ss necro - which can clear out in like 10 mins and you go 50/50 on the ectos.

wouldn't it make more sense to just stick with the duo uw? or am i missing the point in this.........

There's only 4 stances to begin with... dolyak isn't a stance. And 3 stances are enough anyways. Dolyak is a backup against aataxes if they do hit through the stances and pof, and the additional armor can be critical vs smites (going from my experiences in the riposte build).

You can try that but I doubt it works

Except Insidious Parasite needs the hexed enemy to hit, and would rarely trigger in this build

So healing signet heals for more and stances last longer. Also helps with glad's damage... Extra second each on 3 (or 4) stances makes it a lot easier.

I doubt it, since it's a blood magic spell, it'd be nice if one of those direct damage spells from blood were curses. That's why Desecrate Enchantments, even with its crappy damage, has been in the talks (but it is AOE too, and nice to have vs smites I guess)

It doesn't take that long, but usually it would be more inefficient than the 55+SS/SV (more than double time). However, you don't need to spend time looking for a partner (which usually doesn't take that long though...) and it's more fun for some people. And if you do both, something to clear your mind with.

Racthoh · Jul 12, 2006, 05:02 AM // 05:02

My originial intention with the original build was strictly the challenge. And a personal loathing of 55s in general.

Knido · Jul 12, 2006, 12:27 PM // 12:27

agreed with everything linkid said, but i tried grenths and it wasted 1k....

and yes, 55's are definetly more efficient but i dont really consider haveing 6 enchantments on your skillbar farming

chessyang · Jul 12, 2006, 02:16 PM // 14:16

I’ll post/edit some of my tips here if any one needs helps.

But yeah this build is easy after you get the hang of it. I’m not sure how you can tank 2 or more as someone said before. I can’t for some reason, must just be me then. At the moment I have both tactics and curses maxed out.

Also I’ve never made it to the smites! Yeah crazy! But either I fall a sleep or someone sends me a message! Those graps things are a joke takes 2 glads and there dead.

In the meantime, does anyone have a suggestions from a wand? I’m just using that collectors wand w/ +5 energy

Racthoh · Jul 12, 2006, 02:52 PM // 14:52

The Nolani wand is the one you want for the 10% increased attack speed.

chessyang · Jul 13, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

ya Racthoh i was talking about that wand. thought there might be a better one that's all.

Everyone does it differently so here's the way i do go. Hope these hints help.

Ok were to start? YES this is not the UW. I'm in the states and America get favor at or around 10pm (EST). But i wanted to give an ideal where you can practive the stances. Also the order and cycle of how it's done.

__________________________________________________ __________

ok set up.

1. Gladiator's Def
2. Shield Stance
3. Bonetti's Defense
4. ---xxxx-- whatever you want this is an extral slot. i have Disciplianed Stance
5. Enfeebling Touch or Enfeeble touch
6. Price of Failure
7. ---xxx-- whatever you want this is an extral slot. i have "Watch Yourselft"
8. Healing SIgnet

Weapon: Firewand from http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Wain_Hughes
Sheild: life or -2 w/ stance, collectors/crafters FTW works also

__________________________________________________ __________

Gladiator's Defense or Enfeebling touch first. It doesn't really matter. then Price of Failure. In the picture look at the timing. It's the start of the cycle.
__________________________________________________ __________

Gladiator's Defense is over. Shield Stance is just cast. Note timing of Gladiator's Defense. Good time to cast Healing Signet

__________________________________________________ __________

Shield Stance is just about over. Time to recast Gladiator's Defense. Recast Enfeebling touch

__________________________________________________ __________

Gladiator's Defense is over and Shield Stance is still recharging. Time to case Bonetti's

__________________________________________________ __________

Shield Stance is just about recharged. Bonetti's is just about over. And i'm casting Price of Failure.

**Don't forget** Bonetti's will end when you use a skill. POF is not done being casted so you can live a few seconds. And you can cast a Stances at anytime. Note the timing of Shield stance because i casted POF right at or around 10'o clock of the recharge. Look at the Red parts i have circled.

__________________________________________________ __________

The first picture is just the beging of Shield Stance. The second picture is Shield Stance ending and Gladiator's Def starting.

__________________________________________________ __________
That's it so just repeat and your good.

__________________________________________________ __________
__________________________________________________ __________

Some practive on the Axe Master.

Also try the Hammer Master.

The real thing is 50x hard. Well for the first few times. Then it's cake after that or rather Ectos
__________________________________________________ _________

um

if you need a map of where they are. I"m at the Temple of Balthazar" in "Isle of the Nameless"

Hope this helps in way.

Removed the increased attack rate and decreased damage attributes from the fire wand found at the collector outside of Nolani Academy.

wand doesnt really matter anymore, but still a good choice for the energy

Yeah, sorry, but I'm not gonna search 4 pages or so to find the answer to a simple question. Question: What happens if the body block doesn't work and two aatxes attack you? Are you screwed then?
