you can still solo UW as N/Mo 10/26/06

well not to burst anyones bubble but soloing the UW as a Necro Monk at least is still very doable,although it seems the Spirit Bond build is toast,reverting back to the old build seems to work just fine as long as you keep aggro down to 3 Attaxes at most,having one not attacking you and SS'ing only twice if possible(although that doesnt even seem to matter).check it out,managed to clear smites and colds as well.The only real hangup are the graspings,one will flee from the first mob but the others will stay put.

In other words, it just got slower.

nice!

btw why r they not running away to regen ? i mean if they not - whats the difference between SS and VwK ...

i ll try VwK asap.

or u just have to agro small groups ?

zOMFG You mean that this isn't the end of all UW farming like everyone has been crying everywhere?

LoL, gj on the build and adaptation. I'm glad to see some people can take up a challenge and overcome new obstacles.

yea definitely a little slower but once you run UW enough you can plow through pretty fast,smites in about 30 minutes now(ish).Titans are also fine to solo,they wont break aggro on you either..that would be the Titan quest out of LA.FoW is also still doable solo by the looks of it,seems to all be in the group size for some reason,like 3 smites won't break aggro at all, but a group of 4 or 5 , one or two will break.

This is pretty good to know. I wonder if a rt/me VwK soloer would work.

You can still duo the underworld with an 55/Famine duo, only not the standard version of it. It's not that much slower than the old 55/Famine duo, only you can't take groups with more that 3 foes in it because of agro breaking. I'm not going to tell the build yet, let's see what you guys can come up with.

Oh, I don't know, maybe the normal 55hp monk build with "Fear Me!" instead of bonetti's and healing breeze instead of sb. The build is all over the forums.

Since they nerfed Protective Bond into oblivion , then released spirit bond in factions I thought to myself hey maybe they don't really care about us farming and wanted to even out the playing field for all classes.

Suprise, suprise, take a few days off so I can start nightfall with a clear head and bam the Nuclear nerf buster bomb was dropped.

This outta be fun. Nerfing everyone so the derv's and paragons will stand out and shine

You know they watch those videos of mine at anet don't you. It was bound to happen. At least it still works for small sized groups. I don't really see any problems with solo FoW, I dunno if i'm up on old school smite running though personally. Thankfully I got a couple stacks of ectos before the update so it'll be awhile before I need to go back.
