Default solo UW w/ ranger...it IS possible

after about 3 days of reading skills and testing things out, I have been able to come up with a build that CAN SOLO UNDERWORLD!!!

anyways, the build I have is good for grasps, nightmares, coldfire nights, smites, and stalking nights.

i normally do smite runs, but in this picture i ran to the other side of the map to explore, lol. One smite run is normally about 25min to clear out all groups of smites (that includes killing the grasps to get to the smites).

I also dont plan to post the skills or attributes, sorry.


isnt the ghost town cool?

Looks like IW while chaining stances to keep the damage off you + rangers increased resistance to elements.

12 illusion, some split between expertise and wilderness, IW, Whirling, Lightning Reflexes, Dryder's Defences, Throw Dirt. Should keep things off you for a while. Add IoW in for some defence and I guess that's it.

well dgb, i dont think a IW build like that could work (i tried a similar build with those evasion tactics you listed and they dont help enough)

So your not using IW...Tactics so Troll Ungent is a must I guess...

Try a different approach, first figure out what skills he is using to keep alive. Just look at all the skills that Mesmers and Rangers have that reduce damage, heals, and neglects damage.

I was thinking fevered dreams+sv+spreading degen? I dont know...

Nice thought and I thought you might be right for a sec, but visages trigger on HIT. And if you're getting HIT a lot...you die :X

I really can't think of how you did this except maybe as a trapper with maybe Fevered Dreams and something that causes Deep Wound.

Theres an illusion skill that causes deep wound if theres a condition on target. Also... Whirling defense+barbed+flame trap with oath shot and sv. THen maybe apply poison to spread poison, Troll Ungeunt for healing (being the only healing skill other than healing spring there is for Ranger and mesmer). Lacerate for a further degen.

Bythe way, if u block hits, that counts towards being hit. And if ur a trapper, fevered dreams would not be needed since traps does damage and condition to area

Yet another thread where someone makes their claim to discovering a new build, seeks everyones praise/attention, but doesn't bother to share the build with the community. Braggarts ftl.

/not impressed

Greater Conflag + Winter + Mantra of Frost + Elemental Ressitance - But not sure how the damage is delt.

It cant be a hex to does the damage because it wouldn't work against the smites

true that - The damage has to be SV,AV + Famine to clear it in that time. Cant work out the defense or healing. I think the weapon set is IDS 20% enchant + +45 -2% while enchanted. So enchants must play a big role. He isnt wearing druids or health armor either.

Until you post skills im just gonna say you waited till your part left, killed a nightmare and took a SS...

Because without some idea on the build, a SS of you standing in UW doesn't prove shit.

SV,AV,Famine,Physical Resistance,Distortion,Whirling D,Throw Dirt,Troll Unguent

I dont think troll ungent will make up for some 200+ damage aataxes deal you when they hit 1/4 times once blind wears off...
