First off, I have to give dont feel no pain a lot of credit for this build. Hats off man.

Attributes:

Healing Prayers: 8
Strength: 12 (11+1)
Tacics: 13(11+1+1(hat))

Skills:

Flurry
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Defy Pain
Watch Yourself
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
Sprint

Equipment:

Zealous Sword Of Defense
Any sheild with health bonus and rec. dmg while stanced or enchanted.

Screenie:

Walkthrough:

Fairly simple, exit out of Maatu Keep, sprint up to where Xuekao spawns, but pull him into the little crevase pictured in the screenie. This way, the Am Fah won't attack you.

Drops:

I've done the run upwards of 15 times, and I have not gotten the daggers yet, but i'm still trying

Comments/Questions:

Feel free to post here or PM me in game on Alexi Vittu.

Again, thanks to dont feel no pain for the idea for this build.

Gonna try this once I get a damn zealous sword mod

EDIT: Is defy pain needed?

Good one. You can solo this with the w/me build as well. He goes down pretty easily thanks to his assasin roots.

I didn't know he dropped greens or I would have been at him more.

I've beat him a couple times with warrior-only skills

Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Endure Pain
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet
Sprint
Tiger Stance
Bonettis Defense

With max Tatics, rest into strength, leftovers in swords.

Sometimes I had to slap on endure pain for the last one or two ripostes to take him out. Sskais Sword together with Tiger Stance == lots of adrenaline, which lets you use Riposte many times over and over again. He's very easy, just no good drops so far.

Although I don't think the title is worth the exclamation mark I'll give you a tip that just about makes this run ridiculously easy: Shield Bash. You know what happens when you give unsuspecting strike 15 secs of additional downtime?

Happy hunting. Nice name there btw -_-. Hope they don't ever find out.

ph0bolus · May 22, 2006, 02:57 PM // 14:57

man..been 10 times no daggers i dont think he even has them...

Chicken Ftw · May 22, 2006, 05:52 PM // 17:52

My build:
Stats: Max tactics, rest in sword/str
Skills:
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Auspicious Parry {E}
Gash
Bonetti's (in case of royally screwing up, gives time to use heal sig)
Heal Sig
Sprint (for getting to him)
Free Slot..doesn't really matter, won't need it

Found it a lot easier to just use Auspicious Parry -> Riposte -> Parry -> Riposte, with the occasional Deadly Riposte in there. He will hardly ever hit you. Gash him while he's bleeding. If you get in trouble (maybe if he connected with Unsuspecting Strike while you were at 90% or higher hp) use bonetti's and sig, then continue the parry -> riposte -> parry spam.

I've tested it numerous times without it, and I think it's nice having the +20 armor and +240 some odd health.

In short, no. I just perfer to have the extra health + armor.

can someon try an axe build replacing riptose/deadly with somfin like glads and bonetties? and then appropiate attack skills?

There's no alternate.
Gladiators doesn't even come close to the disgusting damage output rip + d. rip gives you
Obviously you can think of other builds to do the job (Xuekao isn't hard) but the sword spec kills the fastest with the most ease.

Why make an axe build when you dont even need a sword that does dmg? riposte+deadly can kill hin alone

Mr D J · May 23, 2006, 11:25 PM // 23:25

No need for a W/Mo with healing skills... 4 skills ftw

chrislee149 · May 23, 2006, 11:34 PM // 23:34

You actually only need Auspicious Parry + Riposte. Deadly Riposte is just nice for the bleeding and quicker damage, and Bonetti's is completely unnecessary IMO.

Mr D J · May 23, 2006, 11:38 PM // 23:38

That screenie is pretty old... from the time when there was no warrior build to solo Xuekao at all... I never even got to cap Auspicious Parry and bonetti's is pretty useful when he starts dealing 150 damage...

Lint · May 24, 2006, 12:42 AM // 00:42

You can easly solo this wiht my W/Me Sig oF mIGNIGHT BUILD. pOSTED SOMEWHERE...

B Ephekt · May 24, 2006, 01:38 AM // 01:38

This is also very easy with a 55 necro. Just put SS and IP on him and wait. I've gotten two pairs of these daggers so far with minimal effort, too bad these daggers aren't worth much and are herd to sell.

deus texaco · May 31, 2006, 12:03 AM // 00:03

i use the w/n build thats good for sskai farming.just replace endure with frenzy so he gets u down to 50 hp and hit grenths.very quick kill.

Brother Redmund · May 31, 2006, 03:01 AM // 03:01

This run is also possible with the rt/me arcane echo-vengeful was kanhei build that someone posted for vermin runs (sorry cant find OP to pay credit where due). With some creative movement, allowing for the jade brotherhood and am fah to have their skirmish, you can pick up the scraps and solo Xuekao easily enough. Have done this run 20+ times, he's still yet to drop
