Hey Guys, maybe you know me since my Solo UW Sin Build.
Now it was time for my Warrior to get into UW, and because Khanei is lame, I thought about a new Build.

And thats what finally became my new Solo Warrior UW Build:
You kill Grasps, run into Ice Desert and lure as much Smiters as you can and have fun with your cyclin Axe

)
Just look at my Vid

makes me want to level up my war.

great job, the build looks fantastic! i assume that's a vamp axe you're using? and that it is your only healing vs. grasps, if i'm seeing things correctly. might want to add a note about that.

(do a N/D one next! i'd kill to mass farm smites again.)

all joking aside, great build. glad to have ya in the guru community.

what kind of insignias are you using? based on your e i'm guessing its not radiant. Perhaps knights or blessed?

Very nice build.

Ah sorry but not faster or easier than Khanei. A nice alternative, but I have a screenshot somewhere showing my personal record for a VwK run is 12 minutes. I have also tanked + killed as many as 18-20 smites with 1 pull, although I usually pull 14 or so with the first pull, then 8-15 with each of the following pulls. I was considering making a video to show people how to use the faster method.

Anyways, good build.

From the video, you are doing in normal mode... how's the profit ?

Does it work in HM?

I too would like to know if it works in HM. also, does VwK work in hard mode? I'd try it but im not sure if i'm the authority to make that kind of decision (read: w/ UW is new to me)

Very nice build, I tried it and there's not much you can do to mess up, aside from attacking smites w/ SoJ still on. I did find VwK variants to be a little faster though.

dont feel no pain

When will people stop asking "can it work in HM?" ofc it cant. Only way you can solo HM UW is by killing the aatxes.
that or finding a 50% perma speed boost

that or finding a 50% perma speed boost Pretty much anything can do NM UW. People are not really intested in another "kill-squids-run-kill-smites" unless it is faster than existing ones and rt/w with spinter/cyclone is still fastest out there...

Since rending aura does not remove energy, only enchants, you WILL hit someone that hasnt removed the enchantment yet. They are pretty good at covering with RoF, you see. Ive died several times from this, due to the fact that in a group of lets say more than five smities, two of them will at one time or another have SoJ up at the same time. Thats 100 damage and eventual knockdown. If you have 10, you are very likely to be spiked down to almost zero hp in one unlucky cyclone. Have you seen how fast smites attack? Trust me, their enchants go down fast.

Also, I seriously prefer the previous build posted by max_rulez due to Victorious Sweep, as it nearly always fills your hp bar back up to maximum. Spam that on the smites, and you will have no problem at all.

Solution to your problem is avoid groups larger than 5....and keep Doylak on. With some practise you can also notice the 'animation' for SoJ and learn how to avoid it

And nice work on the build , OP.

~A Leprechaun~ Yeah, I was thinking about combining it with something though. With that and a 33%, you may be able to *just* run away.

Edit: Or, pull grasps with a longbow, and hit that immediately.

Nice idea, availiable to all classes? I hate the fact that Dash is /A, not sure how I would handle smites, unless I went A/Me, or something.

Guess E/A or A/E shadowform nuker.

Tried it already, I'm able to kill graspings in HM with 1 nuke (before SF ends), and to flee from the aatxes (they give up). Only problem was that my ele his dwarfen rank isn't very high so I have only 1 sec more of dash

. Going to try it again some time.

And nice work on the build , OP. I do not doubt that this build is possible to run well, the only problem here is that you have 3 choises, very briefly, on a warrior for farming uw. Its khanhei, this W/D build and the W/Me build. Thing is, when you, with the W/D build only can take on 5 smities at the same time, but while using the axe version of the W/Me build can take on as many smiters as you can lure at the same time, the choise seems pretty clear to me. But this is indeed a good alternate

Are you crazy this build can handle as many as you can pull too. The other day when i was running dry on luck i happened to run by a unusually mob of smites (about for groups), took them all down with health to spare. I admit i was on my ends hoping i wont die, but i got 2 ectos
