The Attributes:

Weapon:
I use ragos flame wand and a fire artifact with 20/20

The Armor:
No biggie I wear droks pyro with a flames could really use any armor but with droks armor you can withstand 1 - 2 hits from aatxe if it aggros you for some reason so you should have some time to run

Runes:
All you need is Superior Fire Magic

The Skills:

1. Fireball
Spell. Send out a ball of fire that strikes target foe and all adjacent foes for 7-91 fire damage.

Nice to use to 1 hit those nightmares that pop up

2. Incendiary Bonds
Hex Spell. After 3 seconds, target foe and adjacent foes are struck for 20-68 fire damage and are set on fire for 1-3 seconds.

3. Meteor
Spell. Target foe and all adjacent foes are struck for 7-91 damage and knocked down. This spell causes exhaustion.

4. Meteor Shower
Spell. Create a Meteor Shower at target foe's location. For 9 seconds, foes adjacent to that location are struck for 7-91 fire damage and knocked down every 3 seconds. This Spell causes Exhaustion.

**5. Aura of Restoration
Enchantment Spell. For 60 seconds, you are healed for 152%-350% of the energy cost each time you cast a spell.

6. Glyph of Lesser Energy
Glyph. Your next Spell costs 15 less Energy to cast.

7. Spiteful Spirit Elite Skill
For 8-20seconds, whenever target foe attacks or uses a skill, Spiteful Spirit deals 5-35 shadow damage to that foe and all adjacent foes.

8. Suffering
For 6-25 seconds, target foe and all nearby foes suffer health degeneration of 2.

** - Aura of Restoration can pretty much be substituted for anything you want, I tend to use AoR, Fire Attune, or Blinding flash just in case Aatxes decide to run after me but it doesnt really matter or you could put in another necro spell whatever floats your boat....

The Fight:
Very Simple, you shouldnt have any problem just try not to trigger AoE

.

Basically you deal out the damage and wand down any nightmares that pop up, while your partner ( most cases 55 Mo ) tanks. Now Watch The Video

Fast and easy build.... Good Luck Farming!!!

i would take Reckless haste over Suffering.. And Aura of R.. Shouldent be needed at all, fire attune will be better as you say.. Also, it seems that the KD lower the SS dmg, so maybe take Rodgorts Invation (spelled wrong i know) instead of Meteor.. Little more energy, No KD to screw with SS, More dmg + Burning..
Just a suggestion - Downloading Vid now >_> -

Edit, I can see that you allready is using Fire attune in the vid.. Altho, i dont see how casting suffering on the aatxes help very much, other that using 15 energy for 2 degen..

wonderful post man, I just tried this out, works like a charm. My only regret is not being able to have the feeling of dual SS'ing, however damage wise this build can match that of a n/me. Also as the poster above said it is wiser to replace meteor shower with rodgort's invocation because the knockdown negatively affects the rate at which SS can kill a monster.

Grats!!!

The AoE running stuff I hate it SS was picked mostly because 1. It can do big damage to adj. foes and 2. Then don't ever run.

Edit: Forgot to put in the comment of praise so that my post isn't an idiotic flame.
Great build anyway I like the ideas people come up with to replace the same old 2 man UW stuff. The Famine build posted not too long ago was also interesting.

What happen if your monk partner die?

Amjohn87 · Aug 03, 2006, 09:07 AM // 09:07

Well then your Screwed lol... better get an exp monk

And thx for the comments

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 03, 2006, 11:42 AM // 11:42

Btw, you really should take some points out of Energy storage and Put them to Fire Magic, or then use a Sup Energy storage instead.. Your sup should allways be the highest Attrib (cant use in curses in this case tho).. also, you can easylly run with Dual sup in UW.. And since you dare go without Rez, you should be okay with dual sup..

Altho i highly recomment Rez if possible =x

Also, what exactley do you use Suffering for? Cus vs the aatxes 2 degen for 15 energy is, well, not that cool.. And the smiters seems to remove SS before you can cover it with Suffering X.X Also imo then Reckless haste is better if you have factions..

hmmmmm, nice build, yes i would take a rez signet and use a superior rune of fire and energy. the -75 *2 health is no problem cause you stay out of agro

but to be fair, you can't be quicker then a SS necro with echo, SS, SS, reckless haste. and mostly a 55 monk wants a quick run. at least i do want that if i play with my 55 monk

sr3yas · Aug 05, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

if you are in uw, and your monk dies, i highly doubt you will be able to use a rez sig before something whoops your ass. also i tried out dual sups and it worked great, health penalty doesnt affect me because im not getting hit.

edit.

I usually dont do too well with the rez sig, because by the time the monk is up, im dead and he dies before enchants, maybe i suck, maybe he sucks, but c'est la vie

Shadow-Hunter · Aug 05, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

You can Rez your monk.. Even if he is laying 2 feet from a group of Aatxes + Gasping >_<
The Monk just gotta be ready to change to his -20 offhand, hit Prot spirit, and then run like hell to break aggro.. Other times its just w8 untill the monsters move from the corpse and then rez.. So a Rez sig can save the run a few times if the Monk get unlucky or screw up..

Edit: Also, as the poster before me said, Dual sup is perfectley fine as necro.. If you get aggro on your its normally your monk that does something wrong, or you that has your ass too close when he aggro..

Oh, for a second I thought someone figured out my E/N UW solo build. Nevermind.

Lord Aro · Aug 06, 2006, 04:37 PM // 16:37

Mark of Rodgort may also be a useful substitute for one of those skills.
