Anyone ever try this solo build?

Splinter weapon
Cruel was daoshen
Cyclone Axe
Ancestors Rage
Spirit Rift
Bonetti Defence
Gladiators Defence (E)
healing signet

Channel 16
Tactics 12
Axe 3

I found it on guildwiki under tested farming builds, not much discussion or instructions how to use it. It looks fun to be able to solo minotaurs, but I just cant seem to make it work. Guess it takes practice.

Precast splinter and cruel, get everything in a nice ball, cast spirit rift, activate a stance, mash cyclone axe and ancestor's rage. Pretty much kills everything in about 3 seconds.

thanks, i just now tried that sequence and it seemed to help, then i upgraded my armor with radiant insigs, that helped some... now im up to 44 energy.
i still havent aquired a +5 energy axe. Im only using chaos axe of warding. Would a zealous axe haft work with that?

I have an armor 16 shield req 12 tactics. still looking for fortitude.

I added you to my friends btw hope thats ok? always glad to meet dedicated rits.

Yeah.. it takes a lot of practice and you cant really be distracted. However when you get it down you can farm mobs in seconds.

Search for rt/w on youtube, you will find a video on soloing smites with this build.

well to do the chain it takes 30energy (which includes 5 for glads, 10 for spirit rift, 5 for cyclone axe and 10 for ancestor's rage) but having a bit more always helps. also i find healing signet and bonettis a bit useless since you would use them after the chain and if you do it right everything should be dead. i use sprint and enraging charge. i can do it without enraging charge but then you have to wait a bit longer when running to the smites.

Sorry, it was the first build I wrote, I can be a little vague. >.<

Just use the chain. Splinter Weapon > Cruel Was Daoshen > Aggro > Gladiator's Defense > Cruel Was Daoshen > Ancestors' Rage > Drop Ashes > Cyclone Axe
Are they dead? They should be.

Joish: If you are unlucky, a smite crawler could flee before they all die. You'll just have to spam Ancestors' Rage and healing signet to kill it.

Yeah. I HIGHLY suggest practicing this build before you go in to UW, if you don't know how to spike the combination quickly you're going to waste quite a bit of money. Even once you get to a comfortable spot, however, I would still suggest saving 10 or 20k though before your big "testing day". Although it's not *terribly* difficult if you take it slow, if you've never soloed UW before the various runs and things can often be tough to pick up on, and you may die quite a bit before making it out of the first room. It's just something that you have to practice, though. Once you get it down it can be a somewhat safe and very profitable run.

I also take Bonetti's Defense and Healing Signet. While it might be *slightly* slower due to the lack of a Spirit Rift blast, I find that when that stray Smite goes running off, it's much, much safer have Healing Signet and Bonetti's Defense for energy management and healing. If you're confident in your ability to run, though, Enraging Charge and Spirit Rift will speed up your run considerably. I would suggest that beginners use BD and HS, though.

Without a speed boost, you can't even get to the Smite Crawlers. Have either sprint or enraging charge. If you don't want a chance to die, bring both, but most people should be able to use only one.

Training a Rt as we speak I think this wont be hard, just use the chain, if one survives bonetti up and wait till bonetti ends and do the chain again depending on the health the smite has.

Why, if one survives you can always run away.... Heal up and redo the chain....

If you want to be safe, just use a speed boost to flee a Smite Crawler. If there are two, you can't run away, wait, and go back to kill it. If there is one, just ignore it.

Jeeeezzzzz....In Wiki it says the build can be used on Trolls by Droks as well so I figured practice on them first before forking out the 1k for the real deal. Damn, as soon as that first Cruel ash is dropped the damn trolls scatter so quick I havent even hit them with Rage and the cyclone axe with splinter on it, hahahahahaha, who the hell am i going to hit? Needless to say none of the Trolls died except me. They come close to death though, well some are after the first wave of casting, dropping ashes and hopefully cyclone axe if some will stay for the chopping portion of it. I am hoping if someone that had success in the Troll cave could share their procedures here or maybe, ANET just made Troll farming worst than it already is (They scatter in a blink of an eye, that's how quick they are...LOL)

My pre cast: Splinter > Cruel > Aggro > Glad > Cruel > Rage > Cyclone > Then I die....LOL

This is probably the most fun I've had farming anything. Cost me a whole bunch of plat and almost a computer screen to get the timing down, but when it all comes together, it's a thing of beauty. Big kudos to the creator of the build!
