Curse

[color=red]First of all I want to say that I am not the first person (probably not even the 100,000th) to make this build. I read a lot of guides all over the place and watched a lot of videos to finally figure out how to do it. I just want to put this on here since it isn't on Guru and it would make things a lot easier for people new to the UW (like me).[/red]

Equipment:
Weapon- Staff with +15 energy and 20% Faster recharge of Restoration spells preferably, although a +15 energy staff is fine. Ultimately, you could do this without a weapon at all, but the energy is nice in between VwK.

A free weapon would be the Insightful Soul Shrieker that you get from typing /bonus.

Armor:

Try to get the 1k armor (80 AR), if you cannot afford this, it is doable with 60 AR armor.
All armor pieces should have the Knight's Insignia.
Helm should be +1 to Tactics.
Rune choices include any Vigor Rune, a minor Strength, a minor Tactics, Superior Absorption, and Attunement runes if you would like.

Skills:
[skill]Vengeful Was Khanhei[/skill][skill]Vengeful Weapon[/skill][skill]Ancestors' Rage[/skill][skill]"To the Limit!"[/skill][skill]Bonetti's Defense[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill][skill]Sprint[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill]

Code: OQgkEhVYILejFj45N5J8l0SXxwC

Attributes:
Strength 8+1
Tactics 8+1+1
Restoration Magic 12
Channeling Magic 7

Usage:

Clearing the Chamber
Run to the Lost Soul and accept the quest, then Sprint back the middle if any Aataxe aggro you. Clear the Chamber.

To clear the chamber, all you do is run up the stairs when the Graspings are there (hold ctrl to see where they are) and sprint back to the center to get the Aataxe off your tail.

The Fight:
Wait a few seconds and let the graspings attack you, then cast VwK. If you do not wait the graspings will interrupt it, which isn't a huge deal, just annoying. Then quickly cast "To the Limit!, Ancestors' Rage, Vengeful Weapon, and Doylak Signet. In that order, your energy will be gone now, if you didn't get Vengeful Weapon off in time, it's not a big deal. Once VwK runs out attack any grasping in the group to get the adrenaline up for Bonetti's Defense. Wait until Vwk is about 3/4 charged and cast VwK again once you are at full energy, repeat this until they are dead.

The Run:
Run up the stairs to the Smites using Enraging Charge and then Sprint once Enraging Charge runs out. I will have a map/vid of this soon.

The Smites:
Once you get to the Smites make sure to take them out in the groups that they are in, do not mass aggro them. At each group this is what you need to do. Cast VwK right when you get there, then "To the Limit!" once all the Smites are surrounding you, then Ancestors' Rage and Vengeful Weapon, make sure to keep up Doylak Signet as much as you can. If you run out of energy cast Bonetti's Defense and wait for it to fill before you cast another spell. If you can I usually try to cast Bonetti's after VwK so you fill up health and energy at the same time. Keep doing this to each group of Smites making sure not to aggro the Coldfires. If you do aggro them basically run, using Sprint and Enraging Charge, but pretty much you can kiss that 1 plat good bye.

Aha! You don't realize how long I was looking for a guide on this. Oh well, I knew this was an old build, but like I said I couldn't find one on here so I figured it would at least help someone.

^^

Zodiak · Jan 11, 2008, 12:50 PM // 12:50

I dont criticize anyone for posting a build, it does take guts sometimes with all the negativity going around, so I say more power to you friend

Variants of builds similar to this have been posted though, but dont let that discourage you from posting others!

Koning · Jan 11, 2008, 12:58 PM // 12:58

Since everything in this thread is already common knowledge (including the build) and is discussed several times, I don't see the point in this thread. There's a reason why old things like that original thread die

This build is not common knowledge to newer players. Common knowledge is what "everybody knows", usually with reference to the community in which the term is used.

The point of this thread is as the OP stated; to help those new to the UW.

Flem · Jan 11, 2008, 01:50 PM // 13:50

Well, actually, I'm glad he posted it.

I don't think some of you guys realize that not everyone is on this website often or has always known of this site. I've played since beta, but quit for a little over a year, and came back. I was completely unaware of this build. Complaining about things you can't control, or shouldn't try to control, is childish.

To the OP: keep posting builds and ignore the kids. Someone will find the info useful.

Koning · Jan 11, 2008, 02:24 PM // 14:24

Ok, guess I was wrong and this isn't common knowledge than.

Anyway, like Mr. Groovy said, I would suggest reading trough that thread since it contains some information (just ignore all the 'Oh this is good' 'Thnx for build' nonsence).

The.D0pefish · Jan 11, 2008, 02:34 PM // 14:34

wow, anyone got new builds? -.-

You're right.

To the op: you should read my thread but there's one thing I like from your build : the usage of To The Limit! I actually never thought of that before and I'm pretty sure I'll use it on my next UW run!

That was covered in the original thread too, like I said earlier in this thread to OP:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=152

So basicly he could have just bumped your thread (altho we all know how stupid that is) if he felt that half the guru users don't know about it (which I highly doubt).

sentinel tank · Jan 11, 2008, 03:51 PM // 15:51

ancestor's rage doesnt work good at smites, because of the reversal of fortune spamming--->youll heal them

Smokestajdh · Jan 11, 2008, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Sentinal u said it for me

, Ancestors only works good at the grasps, but when it comes to the smites only, if u use it as ur first attack will it have any effect of some sort

stretchs · Jan 11, 2008, 05:29 PM // 17:29

I run a similar build, but instead of Ancestor's Rage and To the Limit, I bring Riposte and Deadly Riposte. I find killing the smites MUCH faster when using those 2 skills than the other setups I have used. Lots of ectos in the process either way

=DNC=Trucker · Jan 11, 2008, 07:38 PM // 19:38

I don't mind variants, some people just can't use specific builds because of their playstyle, where a variant may work 100% better for them, and since the W/Rt has about 6 million pages, what good does it do to post a variant on there? OH well, I think adding comments on the wiki for the build under 'variants' is the best bet.

Oddly enough, I didn't see this build there when I was looking for it, but now that you said something I have found it.

Whatever needs to be done I am fine with. I just spent a lot (read:too much) of time looking for the build so I thought I would save someone else the trouble. This topic seems unneeded now that other topics have been brought to my attention so I will just edit those in and let it be.

Koning: There's no need to be an ass about it, I used the search, but his thread did not come up on the first page when I did it so I assumed it didn't exist. Not everyone was here since 2006 so not everyone saw his thread, and I'm am sure more than half of the guru users have not seen it.

Yeah, "To The Limit" works nicely in UW. I still use it on my Rt/W Vwk build for UW. It is good since you can charge up Bonneti's alot faster without needing to keep attacking, especially against Smites and their SoJ. I also use "Great Destroyer Weapon" instead of "Watch Yourself, since it has a stupid 4 sec recharge now, and it don't work well with my build anymore. Plus, I like Greate Destroyer Weapon better, since it gives you +24 Armor, +60hp, and has a long duration and quick recharge. W/Rt is definately the safest UW build. It is good to use to learn the UW smite run without the risk of dying. Rt/W VwK is faster with higher Restoration, but can be alil harder for new comers. But if definately works nicely, and it ain't that hard to use.

It is good that someone added a newer thread for W/Rt, as I still see alot of new UW farmers looking for the build, even though it has already been posted a long time ago. It is definately a build to start you off in your ecto farming.

I also updated my Rt/W VwK thread a bit for new skills and alternatives. Check it out: Rt/W UW Smite Solo (Using VwK)

flclisgreat · Jan 18, 2008, 09:39 PM // 21:39

thanks for posting. i started playing GW 5 months or so ago, been here 1 month search turned up hardly anything for warrior/rit builds

I was wondering does that help you with the Aatxes as well.I got most of the skills and set up for this but never tried it.I would prefer to partner up with someone for a few runs to get the hang of it.

[riVen] · Jan 19, 2008, 07:32 AM // 07:32

Ripostes only work when wielding a sword, when in VwK you're not wielding a sword. Assuming you're using a 40% HSR set, you won't get much use out of Ripostes. VW+AR are much, much faster (Yes I have tried using Ripostes)
