Hi there,
Since most of the UW has been soloed I'm looking for a new challenge: solo as much as possible in the Fissure of Woe.
Here is what happened. (everything here is my first try so don't expect too much)
Enough guessing..here's the build Enjoy it!
Shadow Army
Undead
Forrest
25/01/07 Update: Pff..cleared the entire beach, it was fun killing those scales
I've also cleared a big part of the shadow army. It's hard to kill those groups with monks.
26/01/07 Update: Capped my first elite skill, cleared almost the whole Great Battlefield and got into the Temple of War
Also killed a bit of this part:
As usual: I'll post the build when I'm done with tweaking it but it might take a bit longer with this build since I'm very busy with school.
Enjoy!

Great a Ranger Build. I can't wait to see thr finished result. 
Sir Mad
Great job!
http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image=undead9xb.jpg is a nice hint. The icehand has a condition on him - it can't be poison nor bleeding, since you don't have an elite, that's not from Burning Arrow, so I guess you use Concussion Shot (which is probably the way to kill monks with a ranger).
52 damage from Deep Freeze? It sounds like you don't have any damage reduction nor extra armor, so I guess it's not another R/Me or R/W or R/E (earth) build. http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?i...cleared5xn.jpg shows you have preps/enchantements/chants active (no spirit on the pics). Dervish enchantements are probably too expensive for a ranger so I'd bet on either R/Mo or R/P.
Sorry I try and guess
EDIT - Actually the Earth Prayers line may be affordable for a ranger - not sure...

Have my babies, Witte.
Nice work as always.
I still remember LAMS3K´s (sp?) Shadow army assassination build. Good times.

Nice job. This could pull my ranger out of the ToPK runs and into the FoW instead.

Thnx for all the positive reactions guys! I'll try to post the build as soon as possible but I really don't have many time the few next days so I hope you guys understand that
@ Senator Tom: ah finally someone who knows my pain xD Think I'm going to cap some elites now to make my build better..

concussion shot -> epidemic? with the /me maybe ele resis and phys resis for different instances?
Sir Mad
^ He didn't seem to have ele resistance on when he got hit by Deep Freeze. And using epidemic on Concusion Shot sounds weird since you'd have to hit several foes at the same time to interrupt them all, which isn't possible without barrage (or WD actually but skellies have Wild Blow)... Still I see room for Concussion in this bar
I must say I'm impressed by the fact he can survive the warriors there. They hit really hard ,and skeletal berserkers have Wild Blow, so don't count on a stance to stay alive. Hmm maybe Veil of Thorns + Armor of Sanctity? Or even some kind of crippling trap dropped before he pulls them so he can stay at a safe distance for a while?

I'm not sure I understand you.. All he needs to do is interrupt a guy casting a spell with Concussion shot, then use epidemic to spread the daze.

Yes, but once the daze is spread, he has to hit multiple foes to interrupt multiple foes. It's no good spreading it if you're just going to keep interrupting the same foe, since without Barrage, he can only hit one at a time.
Jetdoc
Dazed also slows down spell casters as well, which effectively reduces the damage you're taking from those casters by half.
Chicken Ftw
True, was just pointing out why the other guy'd think he was using barrage.
Also, I suppose if you were skilled enough at tabbing through targets, you could manage to interrupt quite a lot that way after dazing them as well.

Yes Dzus has the right idea about what I was asking |
only 185 attribute points and no elite xD
Don't think he was using the elite barrage.. possible the tabbing thing though.

Mesmer in Need
:O he had taken on the scales :O
Ulivious The Reaper
this is just sheer speculation but based on the fact that every picture having blacked out in top left corner i'm going to say hes r/mo... i've been wrong before however o.o
and the dreaded skales? knew you were crazy witte
Mesmer in Need
so what we know so far...
he isnt using ele resistance,(from the dmg of deep freeze) therefore probably not r/me hes not using a zealous/vamp bow from the pics he can kill casters, warriors, disable monks. he does use conditions in some way. no enchantments in his pics. im guessing something like melandrus resistance...?
Paul Mahdi
I'm on the edge of my seat. This might be the thing that gives me the dedication to make and stick with a ranger character...
Lorinda
Its probable not very hard to do that. Ignite Arrows and they run away. 2 interupts with you from annowing things like SS (Spitefule not sandstorm lol)
Maybe power shot since he has no elite xD (just joking) Some Defensive Stances and you can do any thing. (did it a long time with the sanddrakes and even the Bulls in UW) The skales will attempt to Grenths him like you see in a picture but for the rest, with a decent interupt bow (the recurver, seen in the picture) you can get any spell. Nice farming btw ^^
RTSFirebat
Nice update Witte Was.
Really hope you post the build soon. Look forward to seeing this in action. But may I ask what "tweaking" it is your doing? You never go into detail about how you make your solo builds. Least you could do is give us an insight into this "tweaking".
Witte Was
Hm..I use the word tweaking when I'm going to change the build as much as possible for the best results. (maybe this is the wrong translation because my English isn't so goodxD)
This means trying things over and over again until you reach you complete your final goal. In this case, my goal is to solo as much as possible in the Fissure of Woe with 1 build

Nope, spot on.
What I think (Not quite a mind reader ) he was trying to ask was moreso the process by which you tweak your builds. I can't imagine the amount of money you're shoveling forth to this and your other solo tours, but it's quite admirable to be honest. However, what I think is most admirable is the idea that you're not doing solo tours entirely for profit, but the satisfaction of knowing you've done it. That's something you can't say about many people.

Keep up the good work

You're about to save my ranger from deletion (she is stuck on another account and i've not got the money to uprade two accounts forever :/)

Melandru's Resilience may help against some foes there indeed, but apparently the build has no elite
