Well then how about you take into consideration that this is a general forum for questions and answers and that if you posted your question in the farming section, as was suggested, you would have a greater chance of getting more specific and knowledgeable answers.

So on that note - If you want to know what skill(s) can be replaced in a build, you might want to post the build you are talking about.

there is no necro uw solo. espically not 55. rend is a 1 second cast and there are 2 or more NMs quite often.

ok this is the build: protective spirit, spirit bond, insidouse parasite,SS, balthazar's spirit, essance bond, mending, and reckless haste and i had an idea about not putting up ur enchantments and just killing it while ur hiding behind the ghost then put up ur enchantments while ur still safe behind the ghost, is that still possible?

Read the post above yours. Also, double posting is against the rules. Instead of making another post just edit your last.

section is wrong.but necro solo uw build can be found in gw under that :

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:N...g_Nightmare_UW

replace vigorous spirit by somethign else if you want, it isnt essential.

how about nightmares : just start farming by the other side.instead go steps on the left go steps to the right.trigger first pop up, kill nighmare, agro group, trigger 2nd pop up kill nighmare agro, ...etc.

I have been doing Necro UW solo for a long time and it's a lot of fun. After last night's update it got a little harder ie Nightmares are lvl 25 on hardmode. Like the other poeple posted u get behind the npc, and kill them from their. I bring defile flesh on the 8th slot (just to speed up killing the smites and atts when ss is recharging) and i found it usefull for the lvl 25 nm's beacuse it takes about 20 wands to kill them now, no more 2 wands, defile flesh makes it a lot quicker.

from what I have gathered they have made it almost impossiable to solo in an underworld now, they have added somekind of deal that drops better ffor groups now down there so why solo ?

gl, Necro my favorite but the nerf on SR has made it more difficult.

look to MM with death nova combined with Ulcerous lungs, nasty

Joe, Coleneh was in the planet of March 21, the day he made that post. Between the time of his post and your post, ectos were excluded from the reccent solo farm nerf.

Uh, can you please show me where it says Ectos were never included in the drop scaling system? When he posted that, he was correct. They have since changed it.

Between the April 19 and April 20 updates, solo farming was dead. You could just go in an 8 man group, getting the same amount of drops for yourself but going much faster. The scaling system made it so if you had 1/8 people, your group (you) only got 1/8 drops*. If you had 8/8, your group got full drops, but you only got 1/8 of those.

*This included Ectos, Rares (gold), Uniques (green), Runes, Tomes, Scrolls etc.

you guys say that ecto have been added to this loot scaling but what does this mean

Adjusted the following items so that they are now exempt from loot scaling:

* Skill Tomes
* Scrolls
* Dye
* Rare materials, such as Ectoplasm
* Gemstones from the Domain of Anguish
* All other rare (gold) items
* All unique (green) items
* Special event items

dosen't exempt mean that they have been taken out of the loot scaling

This Build works great for Soloing the Underworld as a Necro 55. It takes knowledge of nightmare spawn locations and practice to pull off but it is well worth it. There is no need for Vigorous Spirit however. Replaced that with Suffering. Use Suffering as a Cover Hex and you well be able to kill the smites as well. I have Cleared the Ice Wastes with this build killing all Coldfires and Smite Crawlers in the place. It is kinda fun to walk around the Ice Wastes with nothing in it. heheh . Great build.. Just remember to bring suffering for the smites. Smites use "Smite Hex" so a Cover Hex for Spoil Victor is a must.

No one said ectos had been added. It was said that they were removed.
