Possible W/Mo version of W/Rit Solo UW?

Look at this...


w/rit setup:
sprint - move 25% faster
doylak signet - no knockdown
healing signet - umm healing
desperation blow - conditions
bonetti's defense - getting energy
vengeful weapon - life steal
VWK- life steal
resilient weapon - health regen

plausible w/mo setup?
sprint - same as above
doylak signet - same as above
healing signet - same as above
desperation blow - same as above
bonetti's defense - same as above
gladiators defense - 75% block + damage OR shield of regeneration - health regen + armor
live vicariously - take dmg and get healed
deadly ripsote - dmg dealer, makes them bleed


post your comments

criticism won't be taken personal, just an idea i thought of before i eat dinner tonight.

You would die fast

I doubt it would work that well. VwK does dmg WHILE healing, over and above dmg that smites can dish out, which will be more effective than glads defence. However, the main reason that the W/Rt build will work better is that it doesnt require you to attack to maintain your health, as with live vicariously in your M/Mo build. This is important because smites will throw up Shield of Judgement if you begin to attack them, which will do more dmg than you will heal for, as well as causing knockdown. Overall, while I think a W/Mo build would certainly be doable, i doubt it coudl be something relying on attacking, but maybe using Shield of Judgement yourself would work. Of course, if you were to do that, you might as well be using VwK. In the end, W/Rt wins.

wont kill any of the smites
VwK = life stealing
Glads Def = Damage
Reversal of Fortune = gg

buy factions and/or get ur war to gyala hatchery, and quit complaining.

Shield of Judgment, Reversal of Fortune

VWK life steals meaning your foes lose health while you gain it. It's pretty much your only damage dealer, so without it, you wouldn't last long. Glad's Def has a longer recharge time.. and you'll be knocked down everytime you attack.

I used to use this build to solo UW when i was bored, but quit when i started the sandstorm ele . This one is a Warr/Mes that uses Av/Sv to keep the energy and adrenaline away, phys resistance and or dolyak for armor and dragonslash for your damage. Now, depending on your armor/runes/shield
you can run this from just dolyak, taking no dmg, to dolyak + phsy resist for no dmg, or just dolyak and a self heal like Lions comfort. I used to run this:

<SMITES ONLY BTW, hence sprint to get by aatxe>

flail, silverwing, galrath, dragonslash, dolyak, sprint, sv, av

get yourself a 20% enchant mod on the sword, around 8 or 9 illusion for sv/av
sup str rune for dolyak, and sup swords for max dmg. If you want you can drop either silverwing or galrath for a self heal, or flail for phys resistance. Haven't done this one in a while but its surprisingly quick, dragonslashers have a huge dps and coupled with flail you can chew through graspings and smites like nothing else. Again, this build will need to be modded specifically to your armor/runes/weps but it does work, and it gets around that damn scatter problem by killing one at a time very quickly. GL HF may many ecto drop with your name on it.

You can only take 3 smites/graspings at a time with it right, otherwise they scatter? If this is true, the dmg output on the above dragonslasher may outshine a vwk build. 3 * 29 = 87 dmg per 1.33 sec for 10 sec, with a 10 sec downtime. Dragonslasher is in ias, so about every .9 sec you hit for ~70 alternating with ~30. so say in 2 sec you deal 100 dmg (one +dmg and one base)... vwk does about 180 per sec but only every other sec, for the 10 sec downtime. so in 2 sec you deal 90 with vwk and 100 with dragonslasher? Now, thats not counting in that other skill, sry idk wut it is, vengeful weapon? or the time it takes for dragonslasher to start up, but it seems taht the times could be pretty close.

Problems with this build:

1) Glads defence doesnt last very long.
2) With no sort of heal AND damage that VwK provides, the smites are going to hurt.
3) You wont like it when a dying nightmare rends your live vic in the middle of a battle.
4) As far as i can see, you have 3 damaging skills, Glads, Deadly and Desperation. Glads and deadly could get you past grasps.. but you are going to get pretty much owned by the smites, cause even if you dont attack them, Zealots will hurt, they will Reversal any damage taken, and if you attack, SoJ is going to hurt.

Tips:

Stick to W/Me or W/Rt. Im tempted myself to try making a W/E varient

Or, make your own build, that works, and has some sort of advantage over W/Rt and W/Me.
