Curse

So I want to get Obsidian armor for my ritualist so I'm going to be farming UW. I've looked around and there are 3 main builds that I know of:

Rt/W - Gladiator's Defence + Channeling magic
Rt/Me - Echo'ed Vengeful was Khanhei
Rt/Mo - 330 build which is pretty much VwK and spirit bonding in the meantime

So, what are the pros and cons of each? Which is safest? Which is fastest? Which has the steepest learning curve?

the echoed vengeful build is the easiest in my opinion.

glads defense-- takes a LOT of practice (for me at least) and you can still get interrupted

echo vengeance-- *best build imo* fairly fast, just precast a visage before you agro the graspings (this is what took me a while to figure out)

330- kinda sux because of the enchant removal in the uw.

OK, so what happens if you agro a Dying when using the Rt/Me?

330:
pros: um....... *cricket* oo... it can kill aatxes...
cons: takes loads of practice, dies easily, and is slow

echo vengeful:
havent tried it yet so i wouldnt know >.<

Rt/W:
pros: fun to watch everything die in 1/2 second, pretty easy, fast
cons: fragile, but almost never dies when youre well practiced

hope that helped

Seriously I don't understand why people stopped 2-manning. You can do Unwanted Guests, Escort of Souls and Ice King which isnt much harder than smites with a decent build and get like 10x more ectos (and doesn't take that much more time either)

From experience, i prefer the Rt/Me. Ive been using it since it was created so i guess im a little biased. However, ive noticed that even if something goes wrong its not too hard to recover from it. If a grasping rends your IoH and an aatxe closes in on you then yea, youre pretty much screwed, but say you get interupted, etc. then its very easy to recover from.

Also, its doesnt take too long and its VERY low risk. Id go Rt/Me

RT/W is the best in my opinion, RT/ME is just slow and RT/MO dies pretty fast from nightmares, however he can do HM and aatxes

Hi there,

I've been using the 330 for 2 months now and i think it's epic.
you can never die even nightmares don't harm you if you use your brain a little.
Only prob on HM are Grasps for there bs interrupts.

RT/W is the most fun tho

RT/ME imo a bit to boring and slow

When you aggro, if a dying pops up run back and hide behind benton the ghost from the right side. Kill the dying, recast enchants and start again.

330hp in UW is definately not easy, especially since they changed the body blocking... and Graspings are the only ones you need to worry about. But you can use Mindbender to help against interruptions from Graspings. It definately takes alot of UW experience and practice to do a full run. I usually don't like to do full runs anyways... If I want to farm ectos, I personally use Rt/W VWK build I put together, it works great and it fairly easy to use. It is basically similar to W/Rt but alot faster.

Rt/W UW Smite Solo (using VwK)

Rt/W Vengeful Was for Smites (PvX)

if you are running, he strips it and your effin crippled, lol, i hate that.

if your doing the killing with VwK just ignore him, he will either sac himself to death by BiP'ing the others or wand you dying from VwK

and yes i prefer the VwK Rit in UW for smite runs
