D/Me UW Solo in... yup! HARD MODE!

The idea of Signet of Midnight and Sand Shards is pretty old, yet I didn't see anyone use that to farm on a regular basis.
I don't think this has every been posted before, even though I did find a few stubs on pvx and a few threads that share the same core ideas.

Anyways, onto the build...

Skills:
Signet of Midnight
Epidemic
Extend Enchantments
Physical Resistance
Sympathetic Visage
Sand Shards
Vital Boon
Twin Moon Sweep

Attributes:
Mysticism: 11+1+3
Illusion: 10
Earth Prayer: 10+1

Equipments:
Full Windwalker Insignia Max armor
*NON-ZEALOUS* Scythe with +5 energy bonus and 20% Enchantment Grip

This should bring to 30 energy and 90 armor, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL!

The fun part: Usage =P
Precast vital boon, always, then select on a guy in the group and press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2... space... (wait till 7 and 8 recharges) 7, 8 (that's 1 cycle of 20 secs) and rinse and repeat. It forms a perfect loop. The 30 max energy is needed for the entire chain, and zealous mod will put a delay on the twin moon sweep so that it can only be used once every 20 secs.

For the pulling and killing part, refer to http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10266826.
Dopefish did a really good job writing that guide.

Now the explaining part for those who'll look at these build, not try it, and just criticize here and there, this is how it works.

Defence:
AoE blindness + energy denial + 90 armor + 16 damage absorption.

Self heal:
Vital Boon + Twin moon sweep is used once every 10 secs ~ 10 pips of regen or so but in spike heal (which can be a blessing or... not... [mommy I just hit a deadly repost... and... I'm bleeding!!!!])

Damage:
20*3 AoE armor ignoring damage per normal attack, 20*3*2 per twin moon sweep (which is used once every 10 secs)
This might seem a lot, but... actually its a lot LESS impressive than I had hoped, because half of the time you are casting -_-... Either way, you can manage to get about 420-480 AoE dmg every 20 secs.

Energy Management:
15 Mysticism allows your energy pool to fill up to max every time you cast extend enchantments every 20 secs, to help fuel the next cycle.

As for the infamous DNMs...
That's where precasting vital boon comes in. You don't NEED the enchantments to survive, blindness got that covered. But, if you have enchantments when you aggro, they will use rend enchantments on you. Here is where something unexpected happened... As you recast keep on pressing the keys 1-8, the aatxes and graspings are drained of energy, so before the DNM can rend you again, he kills himself casting BiP on them!

Seems very interesting, definitely going to try this out tomorrow.

How long does it take you to do a run? Also, how do you deal with the aatxes? Do you just stop attacking them when SV is down, or is their deadly riposte nothing to worry about?

Wow. I'm with Arkantos, going try this ASAP. I'd also like to know how long a run takes you on average since it's HM.
