Sry guys, but i don't think an issue.

Monk is more effective of an ele for soloing uw also why he can use Shield of Judgment to make passively damage and saving energy so that he's continue to spam PS and HB, while an ele needs more mana to do damage using other skills.

But why no ele use Shield of Judgment?

I'm asking it cause i'm trying to farm uw with ele without any success, and I'd like to know if Shield of Judgment could be a good idea. And if not, why it's a very powerfull skill for monk solo farming in uw and not for ele?

Tnks

If you're using a monk build on an ele, why are you not Mo/? o_O

dimebag · Aug 07, 2006, 07:42 AM // 07:42

ehmm the question was another, anyway, to reply yours, because I like ele, I ask this only to farm in solo in uw, ONLY this.

all the rest of game is good with ele for me. I like ele, i want to be ONLY an ele, but with ele i have many problems to solo farm in uw, and i'd know all the question that i asked in the first post only for this reason

Why solo UW? You can go through there MUCH faster with a partner. Sure getting all the drops for yourself is nice, but spending an hour on one run instead of 20 mins is a bit overkill IMHO.

I know of no ele build that can solo uw, and to answer your questions in order:

Is shield of judgment a good idea?
SoJ is versitle in many ways, and can be used on anyone i guess. This skill is the reason why monks can solo uw

Why is a monk better at farming uw than an ele?
Monks can 55 and when they do 55 they gain a +3 in all their attributes. A high level heal cancles all degen inflicted by the creatures in uw. For an ele to 55, it's healing wouldnt be high enuff to keep itself alive. Divine Favor is another reason ele's cannot farm uw like monks. Divine gives that extra boost of heal when energy becomes nearly endless like vs smites. Divine also increases divine aura, and without a high divine aura, it would take very long to kill creatures because u'd be spending half the time waiting for soj to recharge while the monsters regenerate their life.

ill be back to check this post again and if u have another question or if u dont understand then ill see wat i can do

I tried to do it with ele and i've found many problems to find party, partners and in solo. All 55hp monks go by himself or with necro, mesmer ever himself. Then I have decided to do a monk to farm and also cause i like it, even if my first pg remain ele. But i'd like that when i have time i could go in uw alone and can drop something, with ele no chance for this :|

Tnks Kenji, you were very usefull. But, sry my n00b, but i don't know what's the divine aura (divine favour).

And, what primary and secondary profession you suggest me to do for soloing well uw and other? monk/war, monk/necro or necro/monk?

tnks again

Ellys can solo UW, just quite slow.

We don't use SoJ because we use Obsidian Flesh.

oops srry, blessed aura. blessed aura is a skill that increases enchantment duration. as for the suggestion, mo/w is the way to go just for bonetti's defense

Xpl0iter · Aug 14, 2006, 05:16 AM // 05:16

Hello
Here goes my skill set

Skills:
Obsidian Flesh
Protective Spirit
Heal breeze
Stone daggers ( Love it for killing nightmares, need to be careful with corners, also to distract foes to use their interupting skills before i cast heal breeze )
Mending
Watchful Spirit
Balthzar's Spirit
8th ( Freebie, I prefer taking silver armour, Aura of Restoration to make it work like Divine Favour or ward against meele at times )

Attributes:
Healing 8 ( to keep +3 regen mending )
Protection 10
Earth Magic 16
Energy Storage 10 (about 60 energy if i recall, gives you 60 energy, or 63 with your Grim Cesta while your enchanted)
Rest goes in your Smiting.

Hand: People prefer using Fiery Flame Splitter, i use Gailgord's Wand
( Earth Green wand from Sorrow's Furnace )
OffHand: Grim Cesta (55hp Cesta)

The above stats and skill bar is my regular 55 ele build which works quite fine for me.
I also got a 55 monk, level 16 though.

Works fine by my standards, been sometime since i had a death in UW with my ele.
Energy wise, yeh a bit slow when compared to bonetti's defense. Well, i am just into my ele since that was my very first char.
Necros who have done uw with me, dont mind me doing 55 ele while they do SS for me.
Just pay the very first visit to UW when going with a new necro. They feel Alot more comfortable when experimenting a new char.

Regardz
An Elementalist.

PS: I rarely use heal breeze when the number of foes is 2 or lesser.Reason?
Well, Watchful's +2 and Mending +3 health regen solves my issue. Saving energy ofcourse.

zling · Sep 15, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

Xpl0iter, how do you kill things with your build? stone daggers alone doesnt cut it nor do wand attacks

unless you dont solo UW but rather go with a SS necro to do the damage for you...

anyway, it's very hard to solo UW with a 55 ele, go as a 55 tank with a SS necro for doing UW runs...
