Given that you can do Gladiator's Defense (11 seconds, 30 recharge) followed by Shield Stance (21 seconds, 60 recharge) then Gladiator's again... you'll have a 19 second gap in which you won't be blocking their attacks waiting for Gladiator's to come back up again.

So why would ANET nerf it ? and dont tell me the "blabla ... shouldnt be possible solo"

Why? Since when has Anet needed a reason to nerf? You know it's only a matter of time before the next nerf.

Solo monks havent been nerfed completely, they still are, and this is even harder, so why would they and how lol

Precisely, no more just standing there while you go to the market and grab some chips. There are fewer monks doing it now because there is actually some level of human intelligence required to complete the task.

This, however, requires much more than Mending, Protective Spirit, and Healing Breeze. It requires timing above all else, and patience. One single slip up *can* mean death. Foolishly letting a Dying Nightmare get a Rend away is the only thing that will stop you.

Anyway, this is straying off topic. I don't want my thread closed.

Strider, you may be onto something... I am getting that err=25 (or was it 27?) when I try to log in as of late... seriously I am.

Umm, Europe usually has favor, but the rest of your statement is correct.

squall amadeaus · Dec 09, 2005, 05:55 AM // 05:55

yesterday we had favor all the day.GO AMERICA!

with a friend,we went as 2 ppl(kill faster so more runs,easier and we can chat ^^)
We cleaned every smiters and every aatxes of the area,but not great drops...only 2 ghosts keys and an eternal staff
Our build was
Healing Monk(with mend aliment,word of healing,healing breeze,rebirth...)
War/necro with ure build+rez signet.The monk(me)stood just behind the warrior,a lil bit behind him,so i could heal him during his fight,he didnt wasted time to heal himself
but no good drops,each runs,we just had our money back

Dahnel · Dec 09, 2005, 01:59 PM // 13:59

ok ok ...i said to racthoh i would be the first success story

... and anyway an update ! lol and thanks to him acctaully taking me on one of his runs i have set my new personal best of 4 aataxes (the lone one, the group on the left and the first of the group on the right)

also i had the worst thing happen to me ... ecto dropped but i decided to finish off the next aataxe before picking it up which killed me so i could'nt get it ROFL oh well ...but look how much health the aataxe that killed me had ! annoying ? extreamly ! (check out the episode 3 darth vader style NOOOO in the chat window !)

Racthoh · Dec 09, 2005, 02:07 PM // 14:07

We had a fun chat didn't we.

That will always suck when that does happen. That's why (although I don't do this when showing people) I will get them blocked off on the other side of the stairs. It isn't very difficult to do, it's a similar style you'll have to employ on one of the groups after you've opened the doors anyway. This way, however, it will prevent situations like this from happening if you're not 100% confident in your abilities.

In the first pict, I would've definately done another Healing Signet before Gladiator's started to fade as the icon indicates. 255 health when going into a Bonetti's is risky.

Dahnel · Dec 09, 2005, 02:16 PM // 14:16

believe it or not the last pic i was almost 100% sure i could stop doing the normal patern and just d.riposte and riposte it and i would win becuase it was so low on health and i was acctually quite high ....until i switched to my sword to use those skills i forgot to move back to stop attacking and instead i got killed by a riposte and deadly riposte bleeding and gash !!!....thats why i did'nt pic up the ecto first ...becuase i got to confident ha ha ha....ahem let that be a lesson to the rest of you !

squall amadeaus · Dec 10, 2005, 08:44 PM // 20:44

LOOOOOOOL..u r Jinx the unlucky man ^^

stefan16 · Dec 11, 2005, 02:35 AM // 02:35

you still promised me toi be the 1st to see

, want to see it soon please

karunpav · Dec 11, 2005, 02:54 AM // 02:54

Racthoh, you are a GOD. How do you do it? First the FoW Spider Farmer (which is brilliant, already up to 102 shards), then this?! What next, a warrior to farm Thunderhead Keep and Hell's Precipice? But seriously, great job with the build. I tried it and died the first few times, but got an ecto or two another time. So it balances out. Thanks, now I shall never go poor.

Thunderkeep, the FoW Spider Farmer build can get you pretty far. Hell's would be interesting... haven't tried to farm their yet. Perdition Rock is as close as I can come right now.

stefan16, you're best to try and contact me ingame and not wait for me. I haven't been on much as of late so I've been showing who I can in the time I have.

Don't feel too bad, i had two drop and then blam i died as a solo monk back when prot bond still worked... how? idk <---stupid Now i just pick up any rare thing or purple thing, especially those FIVE PILES OF DUSTS

Dahnel · Dec 13, 2005, 10:10 PM // 22:10

ok by now racthoh must feel like i'm stalking him (cos i tend to talk his ear off when i catch him ingame ....escpecially my strange questions about FoW armor

)

BUTTTTTTTT....

i set a new personal best !

8 attaxes ... and i started to get a few ectos together now

as you can see from my radar thingy i'm getting better at this !

Racthoh · Dec 13, 2005, 10:18 PM // 22:18

At that moment I was casting Mend Ailment while standing in the lava at The Crag.

Finally got around to trying it with Armour of Earth. Smites... TOO easy. The aatxe were slightly harder, hitting for around 40 with just Armour of Earth in effect. I dropped my strength to 9 and put Earth Magic to 10. If you do it this way, I would suggest bringing a bow so you can pull the aaxtes preventing any chance of Dying Nightmares popping up.

^ i'll stick to w/n for now then
