Although i maybe named the build wrong you should read the first thing at the start of the quide where i say that this is not a new build...

I guess peoples posts aren't all that positive, because it doesn't look good when you double and sometimes triple post..

How long does it take to complete a run with this build? I'm guessing 50 to 50 mins. Just curious.

Aatxes can be slow to kill at first but when you get more experience they will fall faster....it takes about 40mins or something to get to smites and kill them all..

That's incredibly slow.
I've watched one of my friends get to the smites in around 5 minutes on a ritualist. Monk soloing UW just isn't effecient anymore, that's why you don't see any of the threads.

You have to kill them with your wand before they can use it.
The enchantment strip spell they use is awfully slow and you only have to wand them twice in order to kill them.

Dying nightmares using Rend Enchantments.

good work on the build
just kinda hard to master it ^^

usually i handle nightmares like this: i cast my spells and aggro aatxes and immediately start to run away...if there is a mare it will pop up and you have some space between you and the aatxes so IF the mare steals your enchantments you have time to cast protective spirit again before aatxes attack you....might sound hard but it's not so hard when you try it out a couple of times =D

Nice build, mastered it on 2nd try, got ecto

Well if you're not sure about your skill pulling aataxes you can always use a flatbow...
I used to have a 90% or so success rate with stopping rends via wand and surviving them if they occured (it's tricky solo, but by no means impossible).

Looks good, though I haven't attemtped it yet. Three things:
1) Don't monsters run from you when their HP reaches 33% or so? I know Trolls do, i'm just wondering if Aatxes, Graspings and Smites do.
2) Would it be possible to swap one skill for Power Return? It's a cheap spammable interrupt that could save your behind from rending. Although, maybe its not such a hard task just to kill them... my attempt will tell.
3) Wouldn't Shield of Absorbtion help with tankability? I'll try first with Breeze, then use SoA and see how it works out.
Ty for the build.

1) Don't monsters run from you when their HP reaches 33% or so? They only run when in groups larger than 3. So in the chamber the only group that will always run from you is the left grasping spawn as there are always 4, but it's easily dealt with. I would imagine that smites would run as well (some spawns would), but all you have to do is attack them and they'll stay.
2) Would it be possible to swap one skill for Power Return? Yes, you could swap out a Visage skill for an interrupt, although imo it's not needed if you've soloed UW enough, or gotten in the habit of wanding Dyings in UW, which I know you're exceptional at Makosi.
3) Wouldn't Shield of Absorbtion help with tankability? It would, but since you can't aggro more than 3 monsters at a time, it's kind of redundant

Its pretty disgusting everyone attacking him and pretending they are helping. The OP is just trying to help by posting a build he made. Even if it is old you could at least be polite about it.
TY for posting the build =)

If you want to kill Aatxes faster (because killing them with SoJ is slooooow) you can switch SoJ to Illusion Weaponry, take all points from smithing and put them to illusion.Change to protection "hat" and get yourself a scythe from somewhere =D(one with +5 energy and 20% longer enchantments would be great). Next get the aatxe groups near each other and use IW to hit all 3 at the same time(wait 8 seconds before attacking so you won't get "bleeding" because aatxes use deadly riposte)...it's faster but then again killing smites is slower because if you aggro too many smites at the same time you can't use scythe(105hp is not low enough to keep you alive) so you need to switch back to -50hp cesta and weapon and kill them one by one. But with IW you can also kill Coldfire Nights easily...but then again who want's to kill them =P they never drop anything good..well atleast haven't dropped anything for me. And finally there is a pic if anyone wants to see it..check it if you don't know how to make your attacks to hit all 3aatxes at the same time. And btw how can i put a picture to this thread..not just a link?? i'm a n0000b in these things :P but anyway thanks for your help

aggro the group of aatxes..then immediately run back to the ghost....if there is a mare/2 mares they will pop up and you can wand them from behind the ghost. That's how i do it

Its true, this build has been in many players head for a while, but haven't seen one posted this way this short and easy to use....
I can't test this rightaway, but isn't it possible, to use the wand thing (to stay 55) and lower ur divine + prot for extra points in healing?
That way u can drop mending for the xtra pips regen from healing breeze and add in arcane echo for faster killing (copy SoJ)..
Sorry I haven't read all the pages (started with a half flame thing, so wasn't bothered reading much more of that)...
The IW thing sounds good for aatxes, I've been doing that with my mesmer before scythe existed and it wasn't all that slow (thank you avarre) ..

for me, i run it around 6 lol, and i just recast PS and HB at same time, saves attributes, and it is also easier to keep track of wen both run out, unless u want to hav a 20 sec PS, then you only have to cast PS once every 2 HB, but for me, i m lazy and always forget to put PS on, so it helps me keep track cause wen u do forget in the beggining of a run, u feel like a total idiot

i've tried the build with one little change:
i changed essence bond with illusion of haste....
that makes it safer with for the nightmares. Just use it and aggro some aatxes and run away if a nm spawns.
Ok it's quite slow at aatxes but it's one of the better uw builds i've seen yet

I didn't look but if there's flaming here it's months old so let's not dig up the flames (aka keep this civil).
