ok, i'm kinda new to this game, but i have several chars, only 1 is not lvl 20, my primary is a mo/n (but can change his secondary now), and i need good builds for solo farming and good places for that, and (if there r any special) places for good drops... the only drowback i know is that i only have prophercies, allmost every build i check is based on the skills from other expansions (factions, NF...). so is there any hope for me now?

Can take out arcane echo for Blessed signet. Orison out for Mantra Of Resolve (Trolls in droks). Works well on most of the 55-able places in proph.

Ugh, I hate it when people post their 'current 55 build'

Every build should change to suit what the person is farming. Why don't you use mantra of resolve and not get interupted at all on trolls. why don't you kill minotaurs with echoed SoJ because that's the fastest way.

I guess I just don't like the newer players -_-

Zealot's Fire can be replaced if you're starting out, as you have to learn to manage the aggro (you have to use a spell no more than every 4 seconds, otherwise the monsters will run away). Also, Blessed Signets more of an optional skill, and you could replace it with [skill]Sprint[/skill] or [skill]Shielding Hands[/skill], or anything else you might need.

i have been doing some echo minotaur farming, and it's preaty easy, lol.
but is there a build for solo UW, couse the 1 i saw, uses spell breaker, and there r no offensive spells...

You can solo the UW with a 55, though it's really slow (still, I made 15k last run, which was probably about 30-45 minutes). The one you saw was probably a UW duo monk with an SS partner. If you really wanna solo UW fast, other professions can do it well. But pretty much the only one (that I know of) that can kill aatxes is a monk 55.

amon ra · Nov 11, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

any build suggestion, for solo?

Jaigoda · Nov 12, 2007, 02:38 AM // 02:38

The one I run (though I do this more for fun than money, aight?):

[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Healing Breeze[/skill][skill]Bonetti's Defense[/skill][skill]Riposte[/skill][skill]Deadly Riposte[/skill][skill]Gladiator's Defense[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]Mending[/skill]

I would HIGHLY recommend doing at least a few duo's as an SS or 55 so you know the map (and a LOT of 55'ing before that so you get used to the feel of invincimonking). But you need a good (preferably +5e Barbed) sword of Enchanting, a longbow for pulling, a staff of which you meet the requirement, preferably with +hp mods, and of course, the -50hp cesta.

Pull one group of Aatxes at a time, if a NM pops up, run behind Benton and wand it to death, then proceed to kill the Aatxes. Also, try to pull them a good way back, since sometimes you can get one of them to split off, which makes it easier. Kill all the Aatxes in this way, and then take the quest from the dude who's name eludes me. Then, kill the Grasps one group at a time (this is the hardest part because of their interupts and ability to Daze). Also, try to always use Healing Breeze while you're in a block stance, which greatly improves you chances of getting it off uninterupted (and undazed).

The rest is simple enough. If you want to kill the patrolling Aatxes, you can, as well as the Grasps so long as they don't have a Nightmare with them. either way, there's a group of Aatxes after the two patrolling groups that you need to kill. Once they're done, you can start on the Smites. They're simple enough, since they have no interupts, and they generally aren't in a big enough group to pose a threat to you while you're under PS+HB. The hardest part is killing them. In groups of 4-5, they spam Reversal of Fortune, which makes it difficult to damage them. Your best bet is to attack one of them (even if they're under SoJ), and use Glad's Defense (the Ripostes too, but they're very difficult to time with the Smites). Your sword hits should trigger RoF, healing them very little, and then when they hit you under Glad's, they take full damage. Repeat this until you've cleared them all.
