i think moone is right. there is 1 sec vos cooldown while u recast it. time for grenth's balance or live transfer (i think they have these 2 elites).

Sorry to sound too noobish. But I need a little help understanding a few things.

"Full Windwalker 70 AC armor + a 15^50 or 15% Enchant Sycthe with 20/20 Sundering and 20% longer Enchants
the cap of the armor is on sycthe, we also take a minor scythe,earth and mysti rune + sup vigor and pack some keys "

Can you break all that down for a newbie to understand? In particular, I really don't understand the "AC", "15^50 or 15% enchant", or the "20/20 Sundering and 20% longer enchants" parts. It'd be much appreciated if someone could explain those parts atleast, but all of it needs some explaining for me. Thanks.

You take an Armor with 70 Armorclass
Then you put the "Windwalker" Insignia in every part of it
take some max dmg Scythe ( 9-41)
the Scythe should have +15% damage while health above 50% or + 15% damage while Enchanted
Also, they Scythe should have a grib on it that makes Enchants last 20% longer
and a upgrade with 20% chance for 20% armor penetration
Then you put a Rune of Superior Vigor, a Minor Scythe Rune, a Minor Mysticism Rune, a Minor Earth Rune + a Vitae Rune on the Armor parts
The head thingy of the armor should give +1 Scythe

And pack some Phantom Keys for opening the Chests

I have another question. Why is Balthazar's Spirit a requirement when it is only affects target ally? Does it help you too if you target yourself or something?

Exactly.

You cast it on yourself, so you get 1 energy every time you are hit or take damage.

Just run exactly beneath them, press ur key to target nearest enemy ( that are the one on the bridge) and attack

ps: also bind a key for targeting nearest item, for picking up ectos from below^^

Here you go. Sorry for the delay.
I tried to cover the spots giving the most problems. Certain aggro points, Running to the Bone Pits, killing Charged Blackness' and some more.

bone pits cleared (3rd try)... now on to the spawning pools xD



this is definatley a nice run... so far, not terribly challenging, vos ftw (but we shall see what spawning pools holds)... a couple parts in bone pits where the mobs can be interesting... but a lot of fun...

much props. ;D

A big YAY for the next update

with 1/4sec VoS this build might also be able to clear the Chaos Planes( if Wiki is right that mindblades have no fastcast)

Thanks in advance

The reason this build fails is always down to interrupts and enchantment removal... exactly why it can't farm the Chaos Planes, enemies from there are found all over Tombs, so no.

They definatly buffed this nicely with the decreased cast time on VoS. No more pesky 1s cast skills getting past you while trying to recast and no pesky 2s cast skills sneaking by when your recasting other enchantments.

You already tried Chaos Planes with the Buff or why are u saying that?

The Dream Riders could already be killed without the update and (if wiki is right) the Mindblades have no fastcast, only 1/4 sec interrupts, and so they should be able to interrupt ur VoS.
But its only a theory, I´ll give it a try

It isn't quite solo but having 2 monks heroes with you sharing a 13+ attribute protective bond on you as a dervish pretty well lets you have free roam of the uw without much challenge i did quite a bit of that during the free uw access weekend. It of course is even better now with a quicker casting VoS.

I hope u are in the wrong thread


Great News, Chaos Planes can be farmed quite easy


when fighting 6 or 9 keep up Vigor, else you die

Tip: when fighting a group with 2 Riders 1 Lord 3 Mindblades, go for the Riders first

You're awesome Moone, awesome build!

I managed to be successfull on my first run, bone pits+spawning pools. Thanks!

I'm gonna try the Mindblades.

Take care.

EDIT: Tried the mindblades, the 3rd spawn is hard (9 mindblades). When i had to recast Mystic Vigor before VoS they always manage to cast a Migraine or a Conjure Phantasm+Clumsiness on me, that and all the +~~15 when there is 5 of them on me, i can't manage to survive this. Well i did it on the first group ( don't ask me how lol ), but the second group owned me...

Any more advices?

I noted some strange behaviour at the Mindblades, sometimes they spawn together with a chest :O
So always watch out for chests even after the fights

@Yoze
I also got the same problem, that they get Clumsiness and stuff on me, try to get a cycle with:
Regeneration- Vow - fight - Vigor - Vow - fight - Regeneration - Vow - ....

should be enough to survive, else maybe just try to be fast ( I often manage that they only get clumsiness & conjure on me)
and if you got Regeneration on you and get low on health, just run a bit around to gain some more life

This build can solo the whole beach, including skeels.
Really this is fantastic build, i did few solo runs in other places too, for example ice imps (its more fun as with monk).

Thanks Moone for this great build.

Not with this build, no.

As for the shadow army, I guess you could maybe try it yourself? But I am skeptical..
