The 55 Dark Aura Spiker (Solo UW)
This is a mixture of two builds: the 55 monk and the Dark aura spiker
N/MO
Equipment:
Vile Sacr Pattern of Superior Death Magic
Feet, Legs, Arm and chest of Superior Blood Magic and Soul Reaping
Fiery Flame Spitter of Enchanting
The -50 health Icon
A max wand with a req of Death Magic
Attributes:
Healing: 9
Prot: 8
Death: 15 (11+3+1)
Blood: 11 (8+3)
Soul Reaping: Leftovers (+3)
Skills:
Prot Spirit
Healing Breeze
Touch of Agony
Dark Aura
Spellbreaker {Elite}
Mending
Balthazar's Spirit
Essence Bond
How to:
Its quite simple, go by normal 55 tactics and if there is a nightmare use SB then wand him. To kill enemies just use touch of agony with dark aura.
PS: I have not yet made it past all the Aatxes but that is just because I make stupid mistakes and I am sure someone with more experience could do this better than me. My concern is the squids...

Dark Aura triggers AoE. It's cumbersome to wait so that you won't trigger the running behavior. At least on a Monk, you can use SoJ and have it do the main damage and support it with Zealot's Fire (which doesn't make them run if used sparingly). I wonder... can you combine DA and Zealot's?

You will never get the AoE trigger bcuz touch of agaony is a 3 second recharge. As for the monk, how do you defend agains nightmares if your using SoJ as elite?

I'll test out this build when we get favor tonight.
@Necromancer, this is off topic but could you post the skills you used in that build, or pm them to me. I'm kinda new to necro skills and don't know what they are just by looking at the picture.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with SS so they die quicker and I don't have to spam as many spells.

I think this sums up all the critcism this build has recieved. Sorry but I tried this it is not fit for a full UW solo yet. Smites will, IMO own this build.

umm gj coming up w/ this but.....1) this would take forever, 2) pray that you get an ecto from grasping and aataxe to break even to pay for your short runs, 3) when you get to the smites....gg, so if your rich and bored go for it, but its not worth the 1k for killing a few aataxe and grasping if you can do it. You can prolly take this build and change it for the better of solo uw but its still pretty damn hard and id stick w/ 55+ss/sv.

to help fight the sacrifice cost u could take vigorous spirit in the place of spellbreaker, but that would the defeat the purpose of taking a non-elite dmg dealer now wouldn't it. i guess u could put it in place of essence bond. but i agree this would take too long/not work well w/ smites

If you're resolute on using this, get a max customized wand for nightmares, drop blood, get death to 16, swap SB for aura of the lich.
You'll still likely get quashed, but at least you'll do better until then.

Didn't realize this until cerb pointed it out...
6 second SB- there is no way you can aggro more than 1 group of aataxes at a time with any success using a 6 second SB...since you're literally depending on SB to save you...kinda a bad thing.
0 in divine favor is not going to help you solo UW with spell breaker, stick with SoJ or SS...or if you really must use SB and want to solo and deal damage with your build, at least go Mo/N for divine favor.
IMO, the 55 monk + SS necro still works much better than this.

I've actually run a variant on this about 6 months ago.
It was a lot of work to keep everything up and running and they didn't have nightmares in UW at that time.
I used Blood Renewal instead of Healing Breeze. It's cheaper and it triggers DA, which gives me great pleasure to heal myself and harm my enemies at the same time.
I also ran AotL, to reduce sacrifices, damage ...and reduce your health to 27.

you can solo in the underworld w/ a 55hp necro build, but you cant really take on groups larger than maybe 5-6 because 1)if you have 2 nightmares at once your back in toa talking to the voice of grenth again, 2)a 6 sec sb is useless grab another elite, 3) you dont get the divine favor bonus when you use heal breeze and whatnot so you have to keep it up at all times. I can get to the smites and sometimes i can take them out but it takes soooo long cuz theres no sv. I use pretty much 55 monk troll farm build switching out soj,zealots,and bonnettis for 3 necro skills in which i wont reveal :P not to hard to find out tho lol. anywayz all in all you have to take small groups and hope you get 1 nitemare at a time. btw, get a max customized wand and bring vamp gaze, if your on your game the nitemare wont screw you

I tried a similar build with:
Prot spirit
healing breeze
Spiteful Spirit
Chillblaines (for killing nightmares, works in a similar way to zealots)
Suffering
essence bond
Mending
Balth spirit
While it kills the aatxes extremely fast it has big problems against the grasping darknesses as its nearly impossible to cast SS without being interrupted.
I thought about using Dark aura the other day - then read the discription and realised it would most likely kill ur 55 necro instantly
