Credits

I got inspired from a screenshot on Gameamp, showing someone who took down the first group on the left. From that i devoloped the build and wrote a guide for it.

Skills

Protective Spirit
Shield Of Absorption
Illusionary Weaponry ( Use preorder NF sythe if you have other wise a Sythe with +20% enchant)
Ignorance (FoW Healing Signet) Or Power Return (UW Rend Enchantments)
Sv
Av
Balthazar's Spirit
Blessed Aura

Attributes

Protection Prayers = 14(10+1+3)
Domination = 4 (none with Power Return)
Illusion = 12
Divine Favour = Spare points (ill check in game later)

Screenshots
First Shard

Method

Underworld

Use power return for Dying Nightmares. Divine Favour incase you start bleeding. Keep Sv or Av up all the time! It is possibly to take out coldfires. Lure Smites then run into the Soldfires, Sv and Av will drain the Coldfires energy so they cant self heal, deal with the Coldfires before Smites. I have managed to complete a succesful Smite run with a few Coldfires killed.

Fissure Of Woe

Use Sv and Av as covers for Shatter Enchant then use Sv and Av to drain there energy. Leave mele people to last. Divine Favour as healing for burning. Use Ignorence for Shadow Warriors.
Kill in this order Monk > Mesmer > Elementist > Warrior > Shadow Beast (mele Necromancer)
I have managed to get past the first few groups. (I died because a patrol with a Mesmer came along and ripped Prot Spirit)

Hehe

Thanks for sharing, might try this later

Oh yeah btw, I have tried a build like this in Troll Cave and they scattered. Does this happen in UW while fighting against 4 or more enemies?

benjef · Dec 22, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Yes, but only Mele scatter

bored-.-bored · Dec 22, 2006, 03:12 PM // 15:12

Great build thanx:P

TeeJay · Dec 22, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

It works, and it works great. Nights always give me a heartattack but I manage. Got to Smiters but got a wrong aggro. Nice build, good thinking.

P.S. I wouldn't recommend this to any monk. It's not easy. I suggest you have proper experience with monking in UW before doing this. Remember: Have fun!

Random Dude · Dec 22, 2006, 04:54 PM // 16:54

is it possible to do this build with soa?

novawhiz · Dec 22, 2006, 04:59 PM // 16:59

When I tried Me/Mo 55 IW in UW right after the latest AoE update, smites didn't flee (because you keep attacking single targets with your single target weapon).
But ofcourse if you use a scythe, they flee...

ultima desturcto · Dec 22, 2006, 11:09 PM // 23:09

Just curious, you will no doubt have an answer but wat happens in UW as far as enchant stripping?

Unheard Echo · Dec 22, 2006, 11:44 PM // 23:44

IIRC, the only enchant removal on a UW run are the Nightmares, and I'd imagine that's what power return is for

Diva Signet · Dec 23, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

Wouldn't the 130 Boss farming dervish be better for soloing FoW?

I used a build similar to this to farm Bolten's Recurve Bow for my ranger. IW is really slow though.
