p.s.:
this thread, beside another one, with that guy almost soloing lich with a W/N, finaly made me hapy, with the choice of my secondary. i only chose to be W/N, a long time ago, because necro was the only class left, i had to unlock things (skills) for. ;-) .. thx again.

The W/N no longer works since enemies can stand on top of each other (but Kormir can still block you off in the RoT just fine...) so you'll have to use the W/E version tanking two aatxe.

Are you saying that this doesn't work anymore??

Chrono Re delle Ere · Apr 23, 2007, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Uhm I would not flame or something like this but.....something like 6 months ago I already saw this build posted on another forum :/ With the suggestion of getting the wand out of Nolani....

lambda the great · Apr 23, 2007, 09:37 PM // 21:37

This Thread was created December 2005.... which already had the Nolani recommended wand..sooo yeah..

RhanoctJocosa · Apr 27, 2007, 12:18 PM // 12:18

Since the monsters in normal mode received a brain de-buff perhaps you can block them off again? I miss using the old enfeeble build.

Chrono, maybe that person posted Racthoh's build just for the availability; since it's a different forum to guru. That way it'd make sense to recommend the wand, right?

Soldier's Defence in the W/E bar works well, infact it allows you to drop Bonetti's for DBlow to kill the Dryders, if you can manage your energy with a zealous spear - this all being in normal mode, mind you.

Btw don't listen to Lamda, he can't solo uw without me monking for him

Oh yeah, as for the body blocking tactic, I don't know how but Lamda has done it a few times when I've been in uw with him. I can't remember exactly but I think it was using the old stair trick.

I've been too busy with Hard Mode to even see what it's like on normal mode down there.

Shield of Judgement <---the heavy hitter...just..ouch...knockdown plus direct damage...
Smite Hex <--hexes make you go boom. cuts through armor and is AOE...not good...
Zealot's Fire <---all the above spells activate this pain in the butt.

So you cant hex DOT, you cant condition DOT, you certainly cant direct attack unless you want to get clobbered by SoJ and it will eat you up.

However as Racthoh build shows us, their weakness is their melee attacks.

Im wondering...is it possible to bring some other skill here?

Sympathetic Visage maybe?

they're biggest weakness is relying on enchantments... thus you can use all sorts of massive enchantment removal skills such as OoA, DA, AE, AoG, etc removing RoF every time before it takes effect make killing smites much easier...

RhanoctJocosa · May 01, 2007, 12:04 PM // 12:04

After several tests in normal and hard mode uw I have personally concluded that; An extra stance is not needed intead of DBlow to handle two Aatxes at once (after seeing Racthoh's W/E vid), although it's pretty difficult if you get unlucky gashes through Bonetti's, etc, Aatxes can be soloed 1v1 in hard mode, but it is hard. I think two can be done at once if you take the extra stance, although luck will play a major part in your success; i.e. there is absolutely no room for accidental sword attacks, gashes through bonetti's, heal sigs without AoE + WY! + Dolyak up and such.

I might also note that when attempting to do anything in hard mode you should aggro the group of Aatxes first to pop any nightmares and run behind Benton (or simply back out of their chasing range), pull out a candy cane wand or a r8 earth wand and kill the nightmares; you will die if a nightmare spawns in HM and you've already hit Dolyak and Glad's.

Hmmm.. gl hf, I hope we can somehow solo uw in hm

Some screens (I'm bored -_-V, and have no clue if my screens will work)

EDIT: Sorry the screenshots are big, but you'll be happy to know:

My hands were shaking. :S

Koning · May 09, 2007, 02:25 PM // 14:25

I've been doing this too again today and tanking 2 aatxe's in NM is still easy. Don't really need the extra stance altough it helps. I also use a zealous spear to keep my energy a bit up since I'm never that long in bonnetti's anyway (and I just like zealous

).

However, tanking aatxes in HM is very very hard and like you said, alot depends on luck. I don't think it can be done without the extra stance since with their increased attack speed their adrenaline charges faster and alot of gashes (and with that sever artery's ofcourse) slip through the stances. Also, it looks like they have like 10 more points in swordmanship than their brothers in NM cause they hit alot harder. Even with soldiers defense on I died while tanking 2 aatxe's, where I could easily survive on NM...

1 aatxe in HM is no problem whatsoever, just 2 is too much I think...

RhanoctJocosa · May 12, 2007, 07:42 AM // 07:42

Lol yeah, the NM was owning me D:

Shannon · Jun 04, 2007, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Ok, I have serchead high and low for this elusive W/E UW Solo build using search options available and the good ol' trawl through the thread and found nothing.

Judging by the screen above the skillset is as follows:

Dolyak Signet
Armor of Earth
Watch Yourself!
Soldier's Defense
Gladiator's Defense
Bonneti's Defense
Healing Signet
Deadly Riposte

So, what attributes and weapons does one need?

EDIT:
After more scrutany I have these Attributes:

Tactics: 16 (12 + 1 + 3)
Strength: 9 (8 +1)
Earth Magic: 10

Just weapons to go... The sword, only needed for Deadly Riposte, is pretty much anything I guess so I can use my Forgotten sword, bow for pulling, well.. just a bow really, I have a Tactics attributed Exhaulted Aegis, is that any good? All I really need is a wand of sorts. =/

blue.rellik · Jun 04, 2007, 11:30 AM // 11:30

I'm guessing that you'll max Tactics and put the rest into Earth and Strength or something.

The attributes are the same as the W/N, you're just changing curses for earth magic.

You won't want to use the forgotten sword; +5 AL is much better over the +30 health for this build. I would definately use -2 in stance over -5 (20%) as well.

The.D0pefish · Jun 11, 2007, 06:20 PM // 18:20

ok the build is quite hard in HM.
I can play it with 2 stances in NM without probs. So i've tried an old build in hm that works quite well for aatxes

sry for the german client

bored-.-bored · Jun 14, 2007, 10:33 AM // 10:33

Dopefish can u post attributes and what each skill is. I would like to try it.
