Nice build, when I saw Ractoh's thread on Warrior+Hero Farming, I also thought about taking symbiosis.

You hit 60-80 with the 3 attack skills (which are almost constantly spammable) and about 130 with final thrust...alot faster than ripostes + the occasional desperation/drunken blow imo.
With mystic vigor you can keep attacking without the need of healing which also speeds things up. Ripostes from aatxes can be annoying, but if you're playing concentrated you don't have to wasted you attack skills on them.
I play with 16 sword (like i said) and 15 strenght which makes dolyak +40 constant, so aatxes dont hit for more than 10 on me. (-2/-2 and +10 in stance armor) The occasional riposte is the only dmg, which is outhealed by vigor+regen fast.

Give tahlkora succor and strenght of honor, you do even more dmg (+8) and the higher hp isn't really needed. IF you ever run low on hp, just stop attacking (so ripostes/soj/clumsineess wont be triggered). terror's meteor shower (only 21 dmg) and SOJ is only doing 24 dmg anyway, and with +8 hp back from vigor only 16 which is easy for mystic regen to heal. Smites are dead in seconds.

Oh and just skip the behemoth's (possible but they don't drop ecto like jb said), and use an elemental sword if you are fighting aatxes+graspings.

Edit: like langdon says, weapons are faster than ripostes! what do you switch out for succor and strength of honor?

drop succor, cause you already have b.spirit and i would keep str of honor.

dolyak or conviction (i hate the slow speed)
mystic regen
mystic vigor
flail

that leaves four slots for attack, i love deep wound too much so..

dismember
pentrating blow
cleave
swift chop or penetrating chop

thats what i would bring

But I did not toke the skills you talked about. I will give it a try when we have the favor and I have the time. Thanks m8

flail
conviction in a stance so that would not be a good idea
And succor is only there because my bonder has 1 free slot left, and this maintained enchant is better than watchfull spirirt for example. altough I might try purge condition once to see if behemoths are more easy. and symbiosis is really not needed

You can take the quest “Restore the Monuments”. (but if you go to the village, wait for taking this quest, otherwise you get 3 Dryders and 5 Grasping’s together, it’s possible to kill them all together, but it’s easier when you kill them 1 by 1) You can go to the “Vale”, you have 2 more groups of 2 Aatxes, kill them like how you killed the rest of the Aatxes. Proceed to the Vale and kill all the groups of Grasping’s. Watch out for popping DN’s here. When killed all the Grasping’s, you can go one and go for killing the Cold Fires and the Stalking Nights (if you want, they do not drop ecto’s) using the same strategy as with the Terror Web Dryders, they go down very quickly. When cleared this area, go back and take the quest “Restore the Monuments”. When you have this quest active, go to the Vale and kill the 3 Terror Web Dryders, using the same strategy as before. You have freed The Reaper. it may have just been a newb mistake, but after i killed all the graspings, i went back and took the quest......upon returning i killed the dryders and went on my way but died due to the reaper dieing. Apparently there was a group patroling that i didnt see, that wondered into the reapers aggro range and killed him.....so there might be a neccesity to kill some.

i was thinking of droping Deadly Riposte for Steady Stance so you have more energy, adrenaline for Riposte, and aren't KD from Drunken or Desperation Blow

Kill the group in the village and the group at the monument. After that take the quest Watchful Spirit's --> kill the spirit's --> reward, Spider and open chest

Actually you can, just hit both ripostes the instant before your taget inflicts damage. It gets really hard with like 4+ enemies, but under that amount is easy with some practice.

What do you think of using the w/d uw solo build instead?

W/D with scythe
Counterattack
Victorious Sweep
Power Attack
Rending Aura
Mystic Vigor
Mystic Regen
Flail
Dolyak Signet

Mo/R
Life Barrier
Life Bond
Vital Blessing
Balthazar Spirit
Blessed Signet
Strength of Honor
EoE
Purge Condition

Do you think energy management for the war will be difficult even with balthazar spirit on him? Will this be an efficient build in clearing UW?

i think it's a bad idea to use a scythe for the aatxes....
you can trigger 5-6 ripostes at once with a scythe and you have less ac.
i'll try it out tonight in hm as promised

that's true dope fish...riposte will really be a problem

how about this:

W/D with scythe

W/D with scythe
Counterattack
Victorious Sweep
Power Attack
Defy Pain
Mystic Vigor
Mystic Regen
Flail
Dolyak Signet

Mo/Me
Life Barrier
Life Bond
Balthazar Spirit
Mantra of Inscription
Blessed Signet
Ancestor's Visage
Sympathetic Visage
Purge Condition

Since the war already has a defy pain, I switched out vital blessing for mantra of inscription to help with energy management. I think with this riposte and deadly riposte will not be trigerred. Also smites will not be able to use any enchantments. Comments are appreciated
