Need help with solo build

I have recently made the N/mo FoW/UW solo necro as can be seen in godlike satans videos. I have also watched those videos over and over yet, I keep dying.

In UW:

I can handle the first group, but how can I effectively get the second group? Everytime I lure them to the ghosts, they all run bacl except for one. This one will kill me due to lack of energy.

In FoW:

I can kill the very first group to the left, but trying to kill any of the others resulted in death. I tried the nightmare with the monk, but the monk healed too fast. Tried the group slightly further with the warriors and eles, they simply kill me (I dont know how).

I have wasted 15k so far trying to do UW and FoW like this.

My question is, can anyone either tell me, show me in game or give me a link to a video that solves my problems? I would greatly appreciate this.

Thank you

Fow-I also had trouble with that second group. It all depends on the timing of the order of which you put your enchants on and the timing of the shatter enchantment from the mes. It rips the last one off, if its prot spirit -100 dmg game over. It must be timed so that vigourous spirit is ripped. Breeze can be ripped but you have to react FAST.

I have no other advice except it is MUUUCH easier as a mo/n with the same skills. Granted it takes a lil longer to kill the groups and isnt quite as sexy, but it is much easier.

hmmm yea i use Mo/N to solo FoW i can get that group to the left very easy the others are quite difficult. I Cast on Spirit then Breeze so breeze is shattered but you have to cast breeze again immediatly. I like to take down the mesmer first so he cant shatter again. Ive never brought vigorous spirit i will try it...
Ive never seen those videos =) can you post a link.

It is in one of these other threads about FoW soloing. Can't find it, but it was something like: http://hosted.filefront.com/godlikesatan
this is probably not the thing, but maybe you can figure it out now

for UW:

after the first group u r killing them normaly, u just need to check for nightmare first. it won't apear if it didn't when u checked. so u dont have to lure them

Like Swang said, most of the subsequent groups in UW don't need to be lured...as long as you're aggroing 2 or more aataxes at once without spawning a nightmare you should be ok.

I know 15k sounds like alot, but I've spent much more than that on UW alone to be able to solo effectively. Don't worry though, it pays off. Once you can get to the smites regularly, you can get almost an ecto per trip.

with checking, you mean moving as close as possible to them, to see if nightmares spawn? if thats so, im in business
