55 hp renewed

I am pleased to say that I have found a new way to farm UW with a 55 hp monk... Alone and with out a support Necromancer with whatever skills they bring. (Spiteful Spirit and all that jazz)

I would like to give sone credit to the following sites for the information needed to construct this new build

1. http://guildwars.gameamp.com/forum/showTopic/14576.php (this gave me a guide to how I could set my stats and a idea for my build) Strumfy made this build I just moded it a little bit.
2. http://forums.gwonline.net/showthread.php?t=373981 (this is a guide to UW for the old farming route skills and other good stuff. The video is helpful)
3. http://guildwars.gameamp.com/guide/viewGui...09.php!orderBy= (my testing grounds before I hit the UW. It has 2 mesmers that strip enchantments and some powerful monsters that you can kill... and the money you get helps when we get favor xp)

Here it is
BUILD

1. Bonetti's defense (for nrg and also to save yourself if you can't get #2 up in time)
2. Protection Sprit (this is your defensive skill never let it go. SPAM this sucka)
3. Healing breeze (this skill easily counters beading and also is an easy way to get hp)
4. Holy strike (Aoe is Nerfed and this thing will do a fair amount of DMG if used properly.
Will enplane build after)
5. Shield of Jugment (this is a good dmg spell, a way to stall anything and also will make
holy strike do 110 dmg with Smiting prayers at 15)
6. Zealts fire (to use the AoE nerf to drive monsters away so you can make a dash to where
you want to go BUT it is also a good way to kill off the nightmares that WILL strip you of all
your enchatments. with Smiting prayers at 15 it will kill off a nightmare in one hit with #2
or #3)
7. Balthazar's sprit (NRG/adrenaline gain on hit)
8. Mending (for Hp regen and to take the - regen of beading down to -1 when healing prayers are at 13)

STATS
Healing prayers: 13
Smiting prayers: 15
Protections prayers: 11
Divine favor: 9
tactics: 2

WEAPONS
You would like to get the -50 hp Grim Cesta but not to many ppl will get that. So you could do this with a 105 hp monk. I did this with a 80 hp monk (4 sup rune 1 major and the -50 hp Grim Cesta) Why I wanted to prove to ppl that you can solo UW with out a ecro.For my main weapon I use a "Crippling Flamberge of Enchanting" with a enchantments last 18% longer mod on it until I can get a 20% enchantment mod.

I suggest that you get a longbow for pulling if you don't want to follow the video explanation on how to kill the nightmares. (the video on how to farm UW before the nerf on this site http://forums.gwonline.net/showthread.php?t=373981) Personally I don't think you need it because you gotta kill them anyways and Zealot's fire will take then out in one
shot.

EXPLANATION

1. The route. On site #2 (http://forums.gwonline.net/showthread.php?t=373981) it has a route that you can use that is good in my opinion. (I like the alternate route)

2. The skill choices. Most of it it self explanatory. But for you ppl who can't understand my choice of holy strike. Lets look at the facts. AoE is nerfed. so you will only get around 2-5/10 dmg done to the monsters before they run away.

(NOTE: the useal time frame that a monster will run away or stop attacking is around 3 seconds. After the fist anti AoE patch there was another patch to help comfort AoE so the monster will not run away after one hit of an AoE attack. I timed it at 3 hits of AoE in a row or 2 quick AoE's [Like Zealots fire being activated twice in a row without a 1.5-2 sec brake between Protective sprit and healing breeze for example in my build] so if you're going to keep using that old build then by all means ignore my warning.)

Continuing on my explanation holy strike is a good substitute for that 200+ dmg atk because it works well with SOJ (#5) because of it 8 sec cool down you can get 2 hits in with it wile SOJ is still in play so you can give it a little bit more kick. So not counting the DMG done by SOJ you are hitting for 220 dmg...if you time it right.

3. The stats are set up as this because of priority and protection. Healing has to be 13 in order for a +4 hp regen from mending. Smiting is this way for dmg and adrenaline gain by Balthazar's sprit. Protection is this way because you need a descent amount of time for protection sprit. Divine favor is this way because... extra healing other then that, nope no other reasion.

FYI
This build looked like it was easily made. In a way it was, but that's not saying that it will make UW a walk in the park again. It's basicly my way of saying to the other monks
trying to "Sell" a UW build to get off your high horse and stop being gready. Also to say to Anet and the rest of the guild wars staff that you may have made Ele's divide into your 4 groups that you wanted, I thank you for that. Thanks for the ECTO Guild Wars. I will try to make a short video about this build soon.

Plz excuse any errors in my typeing had to do this quick.
UPDATE! I used Zealot's scalp design just to let you know. and I fixed the stats. that was my old build... I told you ppl I did this in a hurry.

Re: 55 hp renewed

Hey as long as you can restrane yourself from actavating Zealts fire too much in quick bursts you'll be ok. Other then that the AoE nerf doesn't touch this build.

Re: 55 hp renewed

excellent job on the guide...who cares about nerfing...one day they will lock this game down so bad that noone will want to buy the further expansions....so I say keep the nerfs coming and watch your business go away before your very eyes....oh, and by the way, if by them saying that they were trying to 'save the economy' by doing the AoE nerf....look at the price of ectos, shards, and black dye. Ectos and black have gained a nice 2k price tag on it, while shards have increased but a little. Also, all of the other dyes have increased in value at the trader...so were they trying to make things more expensive or what? bah dont mind me, Im not going to get into an arguement on this nerfing deal....great guide, + cred for you, and I will be using this build this weekend. :]

Re: 55 hp renewed

You use Zelots fire to kill the nightmares and the bow is just for pulling if you don't want to risk geting nighmares on your back.

Re: 55 hp renewed

With the suggested build here, weapon doesn't really matter. A bow or rod would be good for taking down Nightmares, but a sword or axe would be best otherwise due to faster attack speed.

It's the second mission you get from Simon the Scribe in Ascalon near the entrance to the Northern Wall.

I got 2 of them :)

RE: 55 hp renewed

That 55 solofarming UW was still very well possible is well known...
The reason however people choose to go with an SS/SV necro these days is because the AoE nerf caused the monk to have to turn to stuff like this you explain here, thus making SS/SV a much faster alternative.

The problem is not to kill stuff, the problem is to kill stuff very very fast.
