nice video. As i said before I have been going in as 2 man with a 600 monk and splitting up after the aatxes. This build flies through the uw.

nothing like a 20 sec smite kill. lol

1 question,... Why not take out the 3 patrols of cold fires that force you to wait. the rit is easily capable of killing them if you stay out of the mail storm. ( take the 3 patrols of 2-3 each never take the patrols of 4-5 )

May offer one piece of personal experience. Physical resistance is never needed I have been going with channeling for that slot. the energy benifit is much better then the 8dmg reduction to you.

not a bad run though for 17 minutes. 40% of that time is screwing with the aatxes and getting grasps to pull right.

GJ on guide.

Sorry to wake up a dead thread, but I'm trying to save up for FOW armour and the 55 and SS dual UW Farming realy sucked in my opinion. Reason for this being that you always rely on the other guy not to die, and unless you wait for a friend or guildie to come online and actualy want to UW farm, you farm with unknowns in a 50/50, who have a habbit of dissapearing the moment the second ecto drops for them (and even if they dont, ectos are only worth half their value in a duo run anyway because you have to split).

Took me about 10 attempts to get this thing right (mostly because I kept forgetting to deselect the Lost Soul so I kept casting ancestral visage on him instead of myself, therefore getting pwnd by the grasping darknessess), but I made 2 ectos in my first successful run and 1 in each following run, and have now gotten the run sorted.

I'm never gonna duo farm again...this works so much better.

THANK YOU!!!!! If I could name my fissure armour after you I would

Shit, I may do this just to fund my 15k Kurzick armor. Amber is so hard to come by.

And I am suprised as hell that aNet hasn't seen your exploits yet.

What 'exploit' are you talking about?

I think he's referring to the fact as soon as something like this becomes "known", the Nerf Team start polishing their bats.

Silver_Fang · Aug 23, 2006, 11:38 AM // 11:38

A-Net dont want people to solo farm elite and this is a solo farm build, so, they might try to nerf some skill. But tbh, the skill works fine and they are not overpower and situational, they opnly work on mobs that deal physical attack.

Or, they might just add more spellcaster in the area.

Perhaps he meant this definition:

An act or deed, especially a brilliant or heroic one. See Synonyms at feat1.

tr.v. ex·ploit·ed, ex·ploit·ing, ex·ploits (k-sploit, ksploit)

1. To employ to the greatest possible advantage: exploit one's talents.

Cirian · Aug 23, 2006, 02:13 PM // 14:13

Aye, "exploits" aka "daring adventures", and not "exploits" aka "cheating hacks"

It's all in the context!

Bingo, from what I heard about in the past at least.

Well I've never waited longer than about 10-15 seconds for a coldfire to be out of my way and they really don't drop anything worth the time it takes to kill them, BUT, how do you stay out of maelstrom when you're movement is slowed by shard storm?

Channeling over Physical Resistance is a personal preference. I've never had a need for Channeling while solo'n the UW with this build. I prefer Physical Resistance because I like to group 3 groups of smites (about 14 of them) and the extra damage reduction is very helpful while taking on that many. It all depends on your style of play though. Without Physical Resistance, I would have to spam vengeful weapon and possibly a soothing memories, which I would now have energy for if I sub in Channeling.

Press the "S" key.

Just one thing that kinda annoys me about this build.

If you don't get an Ecto, you lose money (or gain very, very little)

The 1k fee makes me skeptical to try the build. If you make mistakes, it could be costly.

It's very costly tbh. It'll take a few tries to make it out of the labrynth. You could waste even 20k at the beginning, but if you get good at it you'll make lots of money. You need money to make money. Waste money to get used to it, then make money from the ecto's you'll get.

In that video. Is that the end or can you go farm more? I can do it up to the same point but the Cold Fires kill me.

Dahnel · Aug 29, 2006, 09:26 AM // 09:26

I did'nt kill all of the Smites in the video so no that was'nt the end (but the video was starting to get long

)

Try using the Windows Media Player 9 series codec. The video would be MUCH clearer and shorter.

Wait for the patrol to pass then walk around. There's no need to fight the coldfires at all. They very rarely drop anything of value and you can kill all the smites without fighting a single cold.

Thanks smartass but backing up is also affected by shard storm.

It works sometimes but when there are 3 of them, mutiple maelstroms makes it tough. I still stick to avoiding the colds since, as stated above, they don't drop much.

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 29, 2006, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Pressing S out of Malestorm will work.. Watch what skills they use and make sure you aint casting when it hits.. And then Walk out of it when it lands.. If you got Shard storm on you you will just get 1-2 Malestorm hits, witch wont kill you anyway

Btw im beginning to use Channeling instead of Soothing memorys... This way i keep Vengeful weapon.. And Soothing memorys dident have much use anyway :P Channeling + Vengeful weapon spam ftw >_>
