Ive only recently started reading this thread, and its taking me a while to create new toon primaries to try some of these tricks. I have 2 accounts with all chapters (for a friend that plays on my lan occasionaly)

What Im trying to put togheter is a Duo-Solo team, with the 2 separate accounts, 2 computers, 2 logged in toons; you park one toon, and switch as needed. This allows to take all drops, all experience, and allows two totally separate classes/skillsets to be taken in in ToPK, with some "borrow skills" from a mesmer, you can also cross-skill a toon temporarily. Ok, so im bored

Appararenty this 2 account thing can also be done on a single pc: http://www.freewebs.com/johnidis/download.htm. This idea is only against the laws unless you automate the toons. Ive asked and if both toons are under manual control, its all ok.

If anyone has any feedback on using such an idea, or good 2 person builds, send a pm, might be fun to try out with my friend.

EDIT: Yes, I know I can make a 2 sin team, the idea of 2 accounts and different class toons is to cut the time even further down via optimizing skills, maybe 2 sins might be optimal, I dont know.

THis actually worked pretty swell before the Update of SoH. I ran 2 assassins one on the laptop and one on my comp and alternated accordingly. However now recall must be used because SoH has a duration of a weak high 30's to low 40's (instead of the 50 seconds it used to have). Now I run a stationary monk along with my assassin that i solo with. It takes.. much longer

Yeah, once I get a monk hero (I need to stop trying to solo tombs and do some other stuff on my sin ;D) I'll run him with something like Rebirth and Blood Ritual/Blood Is Power with Heal Other or Word of Healing for when Shadow Form ends.

Atm I am still having real problems with wurms - I just can't do enough damage to them..

Congrats. ;D

I usually get about an hour or so into it to get to the second wurm on the second level and then die. (I just avoid the 2 in the main hall :/)

would it be possible to take out dark escape and put in deaths charge just to get in the fight a little bit faster? by the time SF is close to ending, SoH is over and ur where u started. depending on how u time it, u could lure them a little bit farther from ur starting location...

Don't most people run recall and BoS now, rather than SoH/dark escape? I found it alot easier to run, at least. Tbh I could never get past the wurms on the second level, so I gave up. Not like it's more profitable than E/Me UW farming, eh?

i modified the build a little bit. i am able to kill 2 of anything per assault.(except dream riders) same everything as before but instead of dark escape, use deadly paradox(DP). 20% enchant mods r a must!

DP --> echo --> SF --> SoH then run in. when attacking, use empathy, black lotus, black spider, wait a few seconds, then use S again. then use twisting fangs. then repeat on next enemy. when this ends, SF is recharged and u only have to wait a few seconds for echo to recharge and ur energy to get back up.

hahaha ppl you all suck.
how can anyone just think about deleting a sin?

they are the best
and now you all have to make new sins and i will just keep playing my old one.

BTW can this farm be done with only one superior rune? thanks

hello

soh is a bit nerfed so the run takes longer.
some people were usen recall and a hero to do it fast again.
i was having energy problems and there were gaps between the attack combo's
so here is my build going fast without energy prob

attributes(you)
10 domination
8(+ 3) dagger
8(+3)crit
10(+1+3) shadow

skills
arcane echo
shadow form
empathy
black lotus strike
twisting fangs
blacks spider strike
crtitcal strike
recall

so now you have -1 energy regen :P
but thats were your hero is for (and some extra dmg

)
8 blood magic
10 healing prayers
12 smiting prayers

skills :
bip
heal area
blessed signet
strength of honor( + 13 dmg for each attack)

succor(i like this you wel have no energy degen

so you have no energy probs)
rebirth

de build works just like before
im almost able to kill 3 foes a recall run

i had no time to go to the wurms(holidays)but i did cleared the first room to fast

even hard mode is not a problem im still able to kill 2 foes a recall run

oh and dont go out of the radar from your hero because recall ends aand al the other enchants also

Khiro... it was said that it takes something like 4 hours (full run, with The Darknesses) including breaks.
Can you solo with mesmer using the build in 2nd screen in page 1? I would like to try soloing UW with something else than ele - He can't kill wurms if there are too little enemies :/

Well, If I had a/me then I wouldn't ask. But Im asking - can a MESMER primary do it? Next time read more carefully.
