I don't like writing long threads so I'll try to keep this simple and short. This is a 2person build to "solo" Acolyte of Dwayna.

[skill]Magehunter's Smash[/skill][skill]Protector's Strike[/skill][skill]Mighty Blow[/skill][skill]Fierce Blow[/skill][skill]Crushing Blow[/skill][skill]Staggering Blow[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill]
16 hammer
13 Strength

[skill]Infuriating Heat[/skill][skill]Winnowing[/skill][skill]Brambles[/skill][skill]Storm Chaser[/skill]
16 expertise
15 wilderness

This involves farming with henches....you fight your way to Dwayna killing all the mobs around her first. Once you're done with that, send all the henches away far off the map, but leave Margrid somewhere nearby.

Have her stay in the spot shown in the pic and make her place all her spirits there. Make sure you have them disabled - you need to use them manually for her. Once Infuriating Heat is set, go up to Dwayna's spot.

Start by using Dolyak Signet then Flail. To kill her, all you do is keep her permanantly knocked down with Magehunter's Smash - Infuriating Heat will charge it up fast enough to do this. She'll have time to heal when she gets up each time, but she'll eventually die. The damage from the spirits will add up and help speed up the process.

Keep using Magehunter's Smash to KD her. Mighty Blow and Fierce Blow are used to kill her faster. Crushing Blow is there mainly for the Deep wound which will decrease her healing. Use Staggering Blow to weaken her so that her attacks will do less damage if she manages to hit you - with Dolyak signet and her weakened, she can't do much to you. Protector's Strike is used to get quick strike of adren if you need it. With practice though, you'll use nothing but Flail and Magehunter's Strike to keep her on the floor.

When she's about to die, have Margrid recast the spirits then send her off by pressing U and flagging her far away. Use Storm Chaser to get her out faster. You'll be multitasking a little at this point so make sure she doesn't attempt to get in her form. Once Magrid is gone, do your best to kill Dwayna before Infuriating Heat goes down. At 16 expertise, you have about a minute to do it.

Once she's dead, you just might get lucky:

Some notes: It's somewhat hard to kill her while she's in her form so try to make sure that doesn't happen. This build isn't really "final"...you can tweak it a little since the main skills are Magehunter's Smash, Dolyak Signet, and Flail. Because you'll be pounding on her for a while, the damage from a Vamp mod will add up fast. Killing her is a little hard, so you gotta be somewhat focused.

EDIT: Build changed abit to somethin that works alot better. Added more offense since with abit of practice, you won't really need defensive skills.

Very nice build.

I'm sorry for changing the subject, but I've been searching for ages and can't find the N/Me build for soloing Dwanya. Can someone please tell me it???

Good guide, but even faster than doing this is duo trapping with Jin or Margrid. Lure her to traps after you clear the mobs, and she dies in an instant. She can't do anything if she is knocked on her ass by 10 spike traps, just send the henchies away so you get the drops.
