The overlooked warrior secondary finally gets some glory.



Earth Magic: 8
Strength: 12 (+3) 15
Tactics:11 (+3) 14



Sliver Armor
Gladiators Defence -E
Bonetties Defence
Shield Stance
Discaplined(sp) Stance
Armor of Earth
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet

Gladiators Armor is must, I use a wand Req 8 earth magic +5 en while enchanted, halves skill recharge of spells 10%- Crimson Carpace shield +45 stance -2 Stance Superior Abs Vig Tactics and Strength

Basically cast armor of earth, dolyak, then throw on glads+sliver, then cycle through the stances, make sure you are always in a stance. Make sure AoE and Dolyak are always up.

Keep in mind that bonetties ends if you want to heal, so I strongly recommend casting healing signet beforhand.


I have honestly never tried tanking any more than 3 aatxes but if you wanna be a hard guy you could probably do more.

This is tweakable so if you find an easier way, go for it.

If you get hit by gash just make sure you have a stance on and heal immediatly, however, I die somtimes if I get hit by it. It's unlikely though.

If I knew how to post sceenshots I would.......but I don't........soo.....sorry

EDIT: Forgot to mention nightmares. I first agro the aatxes, then hit dolyaks and gladiators d. If a nightmare pops up I wand it, then cast Armor of Earth, then heal sig if any damage has been taken.

Good Luck

Overlooked? In PvP W/E is virtually the industry standard...

I'm assuming you kill the nightmares right away considering enchant removal would be ftl on this build.

Very nice though man. How long does an average run take?

And you never mentioned attribute points. That's quite important.

Edited the nightmare info in. The average run is very random for some reason, usually I can kill a group in about 3-5minutes. I haven't been to the smites yet, because I've only done this about 4 times + tweaking and whatnot. Also school takes up gw time...

Again though, no att points mentinoed.

I wouldn't be able to try this simply because I don't know how your atts are set up.

erm even in PvE W/E isn't overlooked... and i know for sure Sliver Armor tears through smites (does max damage to them), so if you could actually get to the smites, then you could probably own up down there.

I just made it to the entrance of the Ice world, or whatever it's called. Suddenly, my comp freezes, and two aatxes appear out of no where and before I can react, I die. But if you were wondering, it's very easy to make it to the smites.

Well ok the wanding helps for benotis, energy is sorted out but I dont do enough dmg to them

Then eventually i get owned

What am I doing wrong m8

ok one more question, do you use glads and slither at the same time or after oneanother, also is it better to take 2 on than 1??
Also where did you get that wand? I can see that you are using the wand too to do dmg, but the wand i'm using atm doesnt do any real dmg seeing that its not earth based but it gives me 15 energy?

I think it has been said before, that you can easily clear the smites with this build.

I have to try it!

the faster way,

Drop discaplined stance for sprint, drop strength to 12 and earth up to 12. Run to the smites like in the Rt.Me solo guide. Smites go down fast. Aatxes take way too long for the solo to be worthwhile, so you might as well not even bother with them. I tried bringing whirlwind and "On your Knees" (this would give me unlimited gladiators defence) but whirlwind has too much of an energy cost and on your knees uses all adrenaline so bonnetis takes a while to fill. I was able to get it working a few times though, I guess it's just tricky.

OK, so let me get this straight.

Kill aataxes in the first room (basically clearing it out like a normal run)
Get the quest from the Lost Soul
Proceed to run toward the smites

Now do the smites?
