I need everything on an Solo/Duel build for FOW shadow army, I wish to farm everything or most of them with one or two people as a W/Mo or a W/Me, can anyone share a build with me?

Just need Attibute Points, Runes, Armor, Weapon & Shield, anyone here able to help me out?

Thank you.

I dont think theres a build out for the first part...as i hear only forest and beach.. :/

Monks can solo shadow army. Dont know about how well, but they can do it.

i really dont see how monks can solo shadow, seeing that u get shatter enchantment fairly often, not to talk about SS on you being there most of the time

I doubt its soloable with a warrior too, again for the reason of SS on you

you never know tho

If you're willing to abandon the Shadow Army, though, there's always the spiders+driftwoods solo run. I liked that- got my second shard that way, and hope to get more.

Thank you, I'm aware of the Spider farm & Forest farm, would like to do the Shadow Army though, always heard that its possible.

Thanks for the plug there, Lambda.

Anyways if you want to give it a try:

W/Me

llu: 6
Str: 8+3+1
Axe: 10
Tac: 11+1

Cyclone Axe
Cleave (E)
Disrupting Chop
Healing Signet
Watch Yourself!
Dolyak Signet
Sympathetic Visage
Sprint

+15% Stance axe (req 10 or lower), Zealous of +5 Defence or 20% Enchanting (I personally use defence)
+60/-3 Hexed shield (collectors)
+45/-2 Stance shield (collectors)

There are a couple of groups I haven't managed to clear yet - the Ele group beside the tower, the big Ele/Mes group near the start and the dual Monk group behind that. Everything else around there is soloable.

As for where to aggro and how to use the build, it's kind of hard to explain. Just be familiar with the spawns, patrol paths, skillsets etc. of the Shadow Army. Take care to interrupt the important skills, use your skills wisely when SS is on you and predict when they'll cast which spells. Do all that and you'll be fine.

i think you could use life barrier on eachother... then use rippostes and maybe smite hex to get rid of SS or empathy, but what "Luxa" posted looks good!

Hey, no problem.

I should note that if you're just farming for shards, spiders are much faster and easier to kill, do this only for the challenge.

And plus, spiders may be easier to dual, since you don't have to deal with Mark of Pain/SS, and you can buff each other with Shields Up/Watch Yourself.
