Default W/Me smiters solo

hi all guys!

here we are!!!

first of all i would like to thanks all u people
of this forum for the builds, the ideas and the suggestions
u gave me! thank u very much!

ok and now the build!!

This is NOT a build of my invention it's just an adaptation of the build Rt/Me smiter solo posted by Dahnel.

Warrior/mesmer
equip:
Full gladiator armor with knight elm
superior strenght rune
sup absorb rune
sup vigor rune
minor tactics rune

set1:
zealous sword +7 al vs phisical
shield: +45 -2 while enchanted
set2:
any wand with illusion req<10
shield: +45 -2 while enchanted

Attributes

Illusion magic 10
Strenght 11+1+3 = 15
tactics = rest

Skill:

1. Sprint
2. Gladiator defense
3. Reposte
4. Deadly reposte
5. Dolyak signet
6. Healing signet
7. Sympathetic visage
8. Ancestor's visage



DON'T TRY TO KILL THE AATXES.

Starting:
i will not tell u how to run the Aatxes and get to the smiters because there is a video posted by Dahnel that explain this very well.
so... link!http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10029569

Usage:
the usage of the build is really simple, grasping and smiter are similar to minotaurs when u have active SV or AV, just use your
repostes and glad to kill while dolyak always up. Use glad wisely because if u block too much foe's attacks visages will not
trigger and the enemies would be able to use their ability: grasping r not a problem even in this case but smiter can be! So
be careful with your block!!
Nightmares r not a problem, they pop for me always when i'm not in combat, but in that case use your wand to kill them or run away
with sprint to disengage then come back and wand the nightmare before riaggro enemies.

With this build i make about 10 runs: the first two i died before getting the smiter then, when i learn how to run the aatxe ,
i died a couple of time trying to avoid the elementalists... but now i have learned how to run and the patrol path outthere i can
tell that this build works very good!!!! It's not fast as a Rt/Me but, hey u r soloing the UW with a warrior!!
So far uw dropped for me 9 ectos, some gold items and a sapphire!

hmmmm...
how many smiter there were in this group??
maybe u use too much glad defense... if u use too much this skill your blocks don't trigger the visages effects and this will give our enemies the opportunity to cast some spell... maybe the smiter u was attacking casted SoJ in this case just skip target... if u want to be safer then use only repostes keep your visages up and healing as required, during healing u can activate glad if things go bad...

with this advices i have fight 6-8 smiters at a time!

I don't understand why you maximize strength when all your important skills are tactics based. Did you make a mistake in the write-up or am I missing something here?

i prefer to be safer than having a max output damage...
strenght 15 = dolyak always up
many smiters can hurt a lot if u don't have dolyak up

btw i will try to change attributs and i'll make u know my preferences

thanks for yours replays and suggests and sorry for my bad english

very creative, but i think the build that can kill aatxes may be better?

if i change sprint and glad with somethingelse i think it can be done (kill aatxes) , but imo this way is faster and without risk while if u fight the aatxes the run becomes slower and if something goes wrong...

You can't handle attaxes, dryders, etc., etc. like this, but you can kill the Darknesses & Smites easily.


I posted this a few days ago, been doing this for a good while now.

I have tried Deadly Riposte and a number of other things, but prefer Bonnetti's as the damage loss is pretty small, and it is much more stable, since Bonnett's takes care of all energy issues and gives you another cover for emergency Heal Sig or SV/AV use.

I can't watch the video now and don't know what tactics it uses, but I find pulling the Darknesses is easy. Simply aggro them & the Attaxes, then Sprint away. They move faster than the Attaxes, and will keep up, but the Attaxes will lose aggro. Then you can kill them easily. Sprint can also come in handy against the Smites, if you find yourself losing health too fast, just Sprint just enough to lose them for long enough to Heal Sig, let them come back, then rinse & repeat. Like this, you can tank at least 10 Smites, but I would try to keep the number around 6 or lower. Obviously, you can't Sprint away when Dolyak is up.

I prefer higher Tactics to Strength, as this gets the most damage out of Gladiator's Defense & Riposte, and swap out armor pieces as I need to, I don't find Dolyak to be needed vs. the Graspings, so I only use a minor rune there.

To drain the Smites energy, I let them hit me a little with SV/AV on, but no stance, then trigger the stance & heal. After the initial energy drain, the time while Gladiator's & Bonnetti's are down will be plenty to keep their energy drained, if you keep SV/AV constant.

Nice job u should try my W/E build sometimes though But I think your build is faster because of the SV/AV so they don't use their @!>&* heal skills so often. Again, great job!

What probably happened here is you aggroed it while accepting the quest, you have to watch for this. Just wait and avoid the aggro, or watch to see if you aggro any, and then Sprint towards the bottom of the room if you do.

The W/Me isn't that bad, but it can't take on that many smites.
