| Underworld and FoW Tank Build |
|
|
|
I have seen questions about Tank builds (probably more than any) but i wanted to post this because i haven't seen a thread that adressed this...
This question was created because i seem to die within seconds of entering the mission...soloing or with groups. this can't be the norm so i realize i am doing something wrong with my strategy.
I am trying to create a build that works for solo farming UW and a second for working with a group. I have done all the profession missions, so i can use any subclass, but my primary must be a Warrior.
If anyone has any ideas about how just to stay alive using warrior and any subclass, i am highly interested.
Any advice about a FoW build would be good too.

Why dont you use the general farming build, with balts spirit, live vic, mending, etc etc. They work well for farming, keeping your HP pretty high against a large number of enemies. You will have plenty of HP and energy to use, throw in a few AoE skills and you can keep them aggro on you.
Im not really sure, since this is like my first character.

no offense, but you're crazy, :) 1 attaxe will kill him in 3 hits. (ok, more or less :P ) I dont know any classes other than the solo monk that can go hand to hand with attaxes ...
regarding the doing something wrong... moving up either stairs or taking the quest right away is 'wrong'. Unless your ultimate goal is to waste 1000g.
I havent gotten to witness every style of UW exploration... but the one style I know that works is trapping. I am not that up an neco or mesmer character skills, but i doubt they can dominate in the UW either.
Bottom line is, go with a full group, If it's not heavy with trappers, then maybe find out what method they plan on using, and move slow, take your time, work against small groups

I dont charge the stairs or take the quest... i am careful about aggro(gotta counter the Warrior reputation), and my groups generally pull one group of three at a time. As soon as they do, i am decimated by two hits.
What is the tank's role in Trapper groups? Is there one? If so, any ideas on what build to use while moving in those groups?

truthfully, their best use is to jump in front, distract, attack from behind, etc... they can take a hit while retreating better than many others, they can also go against cold fires and graspers, and fight the spirits trying to kill the mayor... but there is little to do vs attaxes and smites other than try to finish off anything that gets through traps

if u had played reasently, you would know 'protective bond' has been changed so the energy lose is '3'. This update made solo monk UW impossible

and also there is a new monster in the uw that can strip enchantments so its useless now and also try and find a trapper group usually they have 1 monk sometimes 1 warrior and the rest rangers with traps and some spirits let them place traps down and u just help finish off wotever gets through the traps and usually not alot does except for maybee a very weak aantaxe so u can kill him easily
