is this supposed to be new? Same old, same old...

I dunno. First time ACTUALLY looking at an UW solo build. Only because I have no room for a monk.

Gustav Gloomp · Oct 05, 2005, 05:17 AM // 05:17

this looks like the same build as the other previous builds.

Sister Rosette · Oct 05, 2005, 06:02 AM // 06:02

The only difference is he removed Zealots fire in lieu of taking Symbol of wrath.

Which isn't worth it.A 2 second cast time and a 30 second cooldown time
for only 5 seconds of damage is retarded.

tip the easier way to do underworld solo these days is using sheild of judgement as elite and leech sigit to interupt "rend enchantemtns" it's quiote easy as u have 3 secs to do it and once it takes 30 secs to recharge the rend skil so then start to kill them and the sheild of judgment will kill the nightmare in 2 secs = total ownage :-)

ShadowWrath · Oct 07, 2005, 08:03 PM // 20:03

No offence, but its much worse than the ones before the nightmares.

The nightmares were introduced to stop soloers. Soloing is very hard unless you have spell breaker elite to counter them.

Yup without spellbreaker, you are almost guaranteed not to make it past the first room. Fact:: If you already aggroed 4 aatxes, and a nightmare spawns you do NOT have enough time to go kill him b4 he rends you. So SB buys you the time to ensure your own survival while still killing that pesky nightmare.

Also his build is OK, but SoW is more efficient since you only spamming one skill. Plus aatxes resist fire dmg...so a 37dmg zealots only does like 16 to them. Holy dmg does full. Spamming only one skill for zealots = teh slow dmg! 30 cooldown for a full 26dmg/sec = teh faster dmg!

Want a better explanation? SoW total dmg = 130dmg / Total time 30 cooldown + 2 sec caste = 32 sec [ 130 dmg / 32 sec = 4 dmg / sec]
Zealots total dmg = 37 per caste / only 16 dmg to aatxes / Total caste time using OP method = 15 sec [16 dmg / 15 sec = 1.06 dmg / 1 sec]

You are casting prot spirit more often? Ok up the total dmg to 3 or 4 dmg per second, but you have now used 3 times as much energy as SoW. One time caste of 5e....or zealots constant spam of 15-20e in same amount of time... And you say your spamming prot spirit the fastest it can go? Ok, prot spirit recharge = 5 sec / 16 dmg per caste [16 dmg / 5 sec = 3.2 dmg / sec] >>>> Still lower than SoW, still less efficient...nuff said

Lastly. NEVER wait till bonnettis is flashing to cast Balths aura or SoW. It will drop right before you finish the caste, and it WILL get interrupted. It is best to caste bonnetti's then only 1-2 seconds after, caste one of the dmg spells. You should have a great amount of energy by then and you gain energy while your casting anyway.... btw, Bonetti's does NOT ensure you wont get interrupted, it only gieves you a 75% chance of blocking an attack. So there is still a 25% chance that they can interrupt you, that is 1/4 hits and it does happen quite often. So be careful, be quick and have fun.

And no SoJ is not very efficient for UW solo, you WANT to be hit to get energy back. =P

My tips for the day! (gave away too much? its ok you cant do well unless you practice and learn to do it right, so not everyone and their mom can solo UW.... !)

not exactly, it would be a 25% chance if they interupted with every hit, you have to factor in that they only interupt with savage slash

Batou of Nine · Oct 10, 2005, 10:43 PM // 22:43

true, very true.

However, somehow the AI is able to determine when to attempt savage strike. to whatever affect, they use savage slash on an alternating pattern between each foe in that mob, so it is almost like it is used on a constant degree. So yes, technically it isnt 25% they will get the interrupt in during bonetti's. But the amount of times a person DOES get interrupted through bonetti's does make it seem 1/4 hits. =P

Asian4ever · Oct 11, 2005, 05:35 AM // 05:35

i got all that but i startin to hate the ghost lookin thin keep interruptin my prot spirt i die when i hit that part

Gildor Took · Oct 11, 2005, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Personally I think that Zealots is better than SoW because for some reason my SoW always gets interupted. My build is quite similiar to the topic starters except i have healing breeze instead of watchful spirit cause i use zealots. But the main problem I have while trying to farming in UW is the grasping darknesses. I cast spellbreaker but my enchants still get removed??? Can anyone explain how to get past the grasping darknesses.

Gildor

Batou of Nine · Oct 11, 2005, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Dying Nightmares are the ones that Rend Enchantments, not grasping darknesses. As soon as a D. Nightmare spawns, hit bonetti's and cast SB ASAP!! Then recaste spirit and breeze as needed and just wand attk that D.N. = problem solved.

Again to lower interrupt risk, use bonetti's before you cast Balths Aura, SoW, or even your spam spells if you want.

Asian4ever · Oct 11, 2005, 06:48 PM // 18:48

can i use it for the grasping darkness they interrupt my prot spell more often so i think i better do that too

Batou of Nine · Oct 12, 2005, 12:17 AM // 00:17

no. the interrupt comes from a skill...Spellbreaker only protects against remove enchant skills. Darkness use INTERUPT skills, they do not take away ur enchantments. they interupt you when u are trying to caste the enchantment.

for the 3rd time. PLEASE READ! use BONETTI's before you caste spells if u find urself getting interrupted often...

Dante of the Dead · Oct 12, 2005, 01:49 AM // 01:49

i personally like to kill the nightmares with zealots fire

maybe its just the irony of killing a monster put their to stop soloing with a skill that was nerfed to stop soloing =)

That sounds like a good idea except... where is the energy management? Are you solely dependant on balthazar's spirit? Without Bonetti's to prevent savage, you will most likely get every balthazar's aura interrupted. Also, I would like to point out that the drop rate of ecto has fallen dramatically in the cold planes... I'm thinking that I make more cash per hour griff farming with my whaaaaaamo than in the UW. Anyone else have thoughts?
