Default Soloing the UW

Yes you read it correctly. I just ran solo today at 1:30pm CST. Granted it isn't a timely way to run it but I did it, that is all that counts.



Here is the exact set-up I used.
Skills:
1) Blessed Signet
2) Shield of Judgement (elite)
3) Balthazars Aura
4) Symbol of Wrath
5) E. Bond
6) Balthazrs Spirit
7) Mending
8) P. Bond

Attributes:

Healing Prayers: Start at 13 to cast mending at 4 point mend then lower it until you can get smiting prayers up to 16.

Smiting Prayers: make them 16 after casting all your enchants.

Protection Prayers: make it 14 so you can get down to only losing 2 energy per hit.

Divine Favor: this is at 7 at this lvl you get 13 energy back with one use and you are maintaining 4 enchants so you can get 12. At lvl 6 you only get 11 back so you are not getting the most for your use.

Note:The key feature here is that I have 105 life. To do this you have to use superior runes in every piece of armor you have. This also means no vigor runes at all and nothing that gives you more health. I also use this set-up to farm the lvl 24 mahgo hydras on Perdidtion Rock and just about anything and everything else in the game that will not remove enchants.

Please Notice in the Screen shot I provided that the text in the bottom left say Grasping Darkness drops **** loot. They are energy stealers and we all know that you need energy to maintain your enchants. And you can see I still have them all up at the time of their deaths. I would have taken FRAPS of my run but quite honestly didnt think I would be able to do it. And the fact I have no place to host the video if i do frap it.

As a side note yes I farmed all my ecto for my FoW armor, which I do not use for this set-up.(with the help of a friend. to speed up the process.)

One last tid-bit worthy of mentioning is I used to use Aura of the Lich as my elite for extra uber tankage. With this set-up and that skill it makes Warriors the most worthless tanks on the planet. Bladed Aatxe do a whooping 1 damge to you when you use Aura of the Lich.

I suggest 2 manning the UW as it speeds up the process. If you bring a partner these are the skills I had my buddy bring to support me. Succor and Healing Seed. others to help out are Watchful Spirit that gives you a 7 point regen. Also have your buddy bring E. Bond he will gain enrgy faster than he can use it, as long you are tanking 3 or more at once. Also have him bring Balthazars Aura and whatever other dmg skills he wants.

That's all hope you enjoy it and have fun with my build I know I do.

Its still impressive to me. I'm trying to find a w/mo build that does this same thing, though i don't have the plat to spend each time I want to test it.

I like the combinations though. I'm wondering if any of those would be good for my w/mo to use to solo.

thank you I have about 50 pics if you really need more than one to see I can post more. also seeing that no one can actually post this other guys thread that interesting also I have been doing it for more than 2 weeks excuse me having a life outside the gaming world. and if any of you have a place I can post a 700 meg FRAP I will post the damn video of it as well.

Also I dont believe I claimed to be the 1st or only one to do it, but since I cant find the post you are talking about you must be talking about a different site than this one.

It's on this site. It's very similar to your post except longer and in much more detail

I like your post, though. It's simple and straight forward. This is kind of old, though. I am wondering now if I should waste the time building this or, when everyone does figure this out and 85% of char builds are mo/w all doing solo uw runs and bragging about their uber-godliness, a.net will nerf it.

I just have one question. You cite the use of four attributes, but say that you 'must have superior runes on every piece of armor and NO vigor runes.'

Now, call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure runes of one attribute don't stack. So that's four superior runes. And you have five pieces of armor. Please tell me how there's no room for a superior vigor rune.

Health penalties DO stack.

Yea, this isnt really new news. I use a different build myself:

Balth Aura
Prot Bond
Balth Spirit
Essence Bond
Bonettis Defense
Healing Breeze
Blessed Signet
Zealots Fire

Smiting Rod + 5 Energy (Health above 50%)
Prot Icon +10 energy +1 prot (20%) (Outside Bloodstone Fen collector)
Healing Ank 12/20/20

16 prot, 12 smite, 7 heal, 9 divine 4 tactics, 5 sup runes No Vigor

Keep recasting prot bond until the 20% from icon kicks in, and i only lose 1 energy a hit, throw on essence and balth spirit, i gain energy every hit. Throw on zealots then spam breeze bonetties and aura.

Allvah: He uses 1 superior rune of each attribute, and then a 2nd one intentionally to lower life. cuz ofBond he will still take only 5% of max life each hit, it just makes mending more effective.

EDIT: I just noticed this is the same build that Jelly Samwich has on his thread. I learned this from a guy named Teyla Ivengorn, just saying to keep from getting flamed or something.

Save yourself the effort. Even if you do something original and solo as a w/r no one will care.

I must whine that I am so sick of hearing about this. Thankfully ecto drop rates are low enough that all the sheep will give up and go home. Don't mean to sound like an elitist jerk and I am not calling anyone in particular a "sheep".
