Yes it's 10 in protection, and yes I cleared all the nightmares, the videos show this. Thats really the only time consuming part of the run after the nightmares are removed it's really a breeze.

Is there a prophecies equivalent to the armor the OP used? Is the Shing Jea armor any different from the 15AL of Ascalon City?

Bloodied Blade · Oct 11, 2006, 02:18 AM // 02:18

I don't think there is any 15AL +energy armor in ascalon city...either way, I'm working on a necro/monk for this type of thing and keeping her 5AL pre-sear armor.

Godlike Satan: All yr time, efforts, money spent experimenting & made it so successful; plus, yr unselfish attitude of sharing with us, you have all my respect. Great job!!

This solo INecro thingy, made me feel like I'm a retard.

I've spent 30k today going in/out, I only managed to kill a grp of 3. Most of the time, I have 2 nightmares pop, by the time I killed one, the other Rend Enchant me, dang!
And when there's only 1 nightmares pop, no matter how fast I react to it, it Rend Enchant me before I can kill it. Dang!!

And this whole thing seem like a joke to me. I rather run dual with an I-Monk, at least we cleared everything & do all quests & is guranteed.

Not to discourage anyone, but be mentally prepared before you attempt this.

And Godlike Satan, just curious how many 1k have u dumped before u successfully managed the whole run?

@ImNoKid- Hide behind the ghosts, the aataxes can't attack you behind them.

me too, I'm almost always too late with killing the nightmares. I haven't even been to graspings yet! I stop wasting my money on it because i'm simply not fast enough I think. Also the target the last enemy and press tab+space doesn't seem to work for me. when i press tab+space i seem always to target other aatxes. also, running away from them after they rended me doesn't seem to work, they always chase me and im death b4 i can reach the ghost. I know i need to cast prot spirit immediatly after rending, but somehow this goes wrong most of the times and when I've succesfully casted it once in 10 runs I still get killed due to bleeding or something....

I can solo UW with my warrior, mesmer (have interrupt for nm) and monk (have interrupt for nm) but with this build the nightmares are just too much for me....

Bloodied Blade · Oct 11, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

If mark of subversion would work on spells targetted at you this would be a lot easier...just MoS the nightmare and wand it if it's still alive.

EDIT: Anyone know what happened to Kcp's FoW post? It looks like it was incinerated off of the face of the boards.

Kcp · Oct 11, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

You only have to take the aatxe in groups of 3's at a time, when you get more experienced try to bite into more then 3 at a time. Use the ghost on the first pull, kill nightmares, then slaughter your first 3. Then kill off the rest 3 by 3 until you get to the squids.

Once you get experienced you wont have any problems.

If I find my mad dash through the first chamber popping every nightmare to be found and catching several rends while dodging aatxe I'll upload it for the people having difficulties.

Hell, I'll even upload a pic of benton since noone seems to be able to find him.

Could have saved your 30k by reading the guide first =p, Shouldn't take more then a few runs to make it all back now that you have the above pic now should it?

Rookwood · Oct 11, 2006, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Why do you have 2 points in Blood Magic? Shouldn't they be in SR...

I mean I know that extra 1 energy when everything is dead will make no difference, but seeing as blood magic has absolutely no purpose and SR at least has some theoretical value and all...

Just wondering basically if I could change that around without screwing with the build?

Anarion Silverhand · Oct 11, 2006, 04:46 PM // 16:46

The -50 HP Grim Cesta has a req of 5 blood magic... With 2 points in Blood + a sup rune, that gives a total of : 5 Blood magic..

Bloodied Blade · Oct 11, 2006, 07:15 PM // 19:15

@Rookwood- it wouldn't affect the build much if you put the blood points into SR, but you wouldn't get the energy from meeting the blood req of the cesta anymore.

Rookwood · Oct 11, 2006, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Yep I see it now...My bad

Oznog · Oct 11, 2006, 09:15 PM // 21:15

First off, thanks for the build and follow up tips. It definitely takes some practice but I'm to the point now where I can reach the smites more or less consistantly.

Second, I just realized I'm an idiot. I never noticed the blood req for the -50 cesta and had added the extra points into soul reaping. Ugh. This might explain why I would occasionally find myself short energy...

Ah well. Live and learn.

nutzizme · Oct 13, 2006, 12:55 AM // 00:55

now, my necro is from prophecies. i dont have access to the shing jai armor, ive done everything in this guide and i have about 10 less energy. (41). is this still doable?

RadeonDJ9600 · Oct 13, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

If you have factions, then talk to First Mate Xiang in Kaineng Docks (right outside of The Marketplace) and that will take you to Seitung Harbor, from there just walk to Shing Jea Monastery and pick up your armor...but it is possible with 41 energy, Graspings might be a bit tricky, but it's still very possible.

nutzizme · Oct 13, 2006, 03:41 AM // 03:41

i just tried it and wow...
first few times i died off right away due to getting PS interupted by aatxe. but i was persistent and kept trying. and 3rd time in i made it through aatxe and grasps. (got killed on last NM) but so far i can see how this is gonna work great. thanks for the tip radeon im on my way to get it now, and thx kcp for this wonderful build.

It cost me 15k before I successfully did a whole run and now I can consistently do the runs without dying using this guide and my own strategy I have learned on my own. Made 120ish ectos since the 7th when I read about this build.
