Means addition to attribute due to armor upgrades (superior runes).

Wow... been reading 7 pages of these posts and I still can't truly figure out the build for me... however simmilar they may all be.

But now for a question, even though the info can be inferred from all the posts, is: I heard much about A-net's nerfing of the build. What exacly was changed from the old build? And now, "post-nerf", could someone, who'd gain my unending gratitude, perhaps post an updated build of it? Skills, strategy, energy/health balance, stats, and all? I have seen many posted builds after the news of a weakening of the InvonciMonk, yet no real guideline of all the painstaking info a noob needs for using it- at least a noob to using a monk, as I am.

Again, I am sorry for being needy, but now, having only 2 or so PRECIOUS hours of GW a day, since the start of school, I simply cannot try all this out for myself :'(

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

So.. bump?

Meta Physical · Sep 14, 2005, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Still waiting... I'm eager to try this build out. Heard about a new "fix" (read "nerf") which strips your enchantments every time you aggro a group in UW - how does this work?

There were numerous nerfs.

First pront was renderd usless for the build. Pront spirit is now needed, and theres no need for the =1 pront icon as a result. Oh, and it makes the enchanting-energy-denravi sword that much more atteractive

Second, Divine Boon was given a recharge

Next, zealots and boon are no longer trigered by untargeted skills, like.. bonetti's, and boon itself.

Finaly, new monsters have been added to the UW to strip enchants. Not sure how they work.

Its late, but basicly, anything posted before the 9/7 SF update is mostly if not entierly irrelevent.

Well, I see they totally cracked down on UW soloing, but is there perhaps a new, challenging place to farm or whatnot lately, as a sort of replacement? Maybe the Fissure, or perhaps Sorrow's Furnace?

Anyone?

if i'm not mistaken, the new monsters at the beginning of UW look like azure shadows, and they strip enchants, making solo smite runs impossible. if you pull carefully, you can kill a few bulls before your enchants are shattered, but it doesn't seem to be profitable to enter UW alone anymore, even with a protective spirit build. here is the build that i currently use to farm with my monk:

healing 9+1+3
smite 12+3
protection 9+3
divine 2+3

prot spirit
healing breeze
bonetti's defense
mending
balthazar's spirit
zealot's fire
balthazar's aura
shield of judgement

PS: I'm a newb too. I derived this build from various other posts, and I take no credit for the creativity behind it. Can any pros out there suggest improvements on this?

All yall that are crying for help to do UW solo runs...think a bit, research a bit, and think a little more. A little thought goes a long way! I am completely new to solo farming UW, and i can do it all thanks to a little thought/research, rather than complaints and begging...

im simply shoving yall in teh right direction...IN FACT!! part of the answer is in this long long thread if you take the time...

And since im nice, here's a head start on the research bit...skills section on this site:: http://www.crossingtyria.com/modules.php?name=CT_Skills

btw, DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THIS...

enjoy

Been playing around with a few different builds and i can honestly say
that some of the original "cutter" builds work fine if you just swap out
protective bond for spirit but i've decided on a better and faster way
to go into underworld and fissure.......

Have a good think about this, take one of the original builds in the very
first posts with protective bond and basicaly, N/Mo & Mo/N FTW

Your N/Mo friend can give you plenty of energy regen plus spell breaker
and healing if you need it, while all the time you are slaying away and
reaping some real nice hefty rewards, experience, fun, and most of
all, nobody can complain anymore about you soloing the underworld
because you are not alone, .

AznPhate · Oct 06, 2005, 07:38 AM // 07:38

Hehhe, i tried solo uw soloing, didnt really work teh first couple times, but i finally got it down after 4 failed runs and small tweaks. its not that hard, just takes patience. ( i hate savage slash!) , sometimes 2 man smite groups are better.. b/c it takes 4ever... but i perfer solo cuz i hate it when other guy gets stuff...

Sir Charr · Oct 11, 2005, 07:07 AM // 07:07

what build has worked best for you guys? there has been sooooo many different variations on this build, and teaks and such that I just don't know which one to try lol. If someone has a good solo build that works for them, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hailfall · Oct 26, 2005, 09:31 PM // 21:31

I am asking a really stupid question here.. but do you wear only the ascetic armor? Because I saw a few monks that were wearing ascetic mixed with something else?

(sorry for the bump btw...)

Sister Rosette · Oct 27, 2005, 09:09 AM // 09:09

Armor is irrelevant....you only take 4-5 damage no matter what......

Niosisw · Oct 28, 2005, 08:45 PM // 20:45

In case you guys were still wondering, the skill batou was referring to is spellbreaker. I hear it's not necesarry, but I don't know. I just use my invinci-monk for griff farming
