So I decided to start soloing the underworld as I am short in cash. And I picked up this build off PvX wiki http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:N/...rworld_Solo_SV. So far I have not made it past the Aatxes. I can take on two or even three, sometimes. But when I get down to one I run out of energy before I can get up my HB. Am I missing something? Is there a better build for a necro to solo UW, or am i just horrible at farming?

When it's down to one, you almost don't need HB for him. It would take it 11 hits to kill you and even if it started at full health that would mostly kill it. That being said, don't get too low before recasting HB, interrupt it and you won't be able to reapply it before it finishes you.

Also, don't even use Suffering; it's only for the smites.

Thanks for those tips, I can now beta the Aatxes. But now I cannot make it past the Grasping Darkness's. I don't know how to trigger their interrupts as it has no cool down. Should I avoid these or am I missing something in how to beat them?

when you reach the grasps, cast mending again (when its already on you) so they interupt that, then cast your SV.

The graspings won't try and interrupt with Distracting. What you do is put prot spirit up, pull them with SV, and while they're on their way put HB up. Don't reapply your enchantments right away. You'll see all 3-4 graspings use their interrupts, then you can reapply PS/HB and start spreading SV again. They should all be dead before they start skull cracking, but if they do, that's what Plague touch is for in that build (though once you get good, you can drop that for something else.)

Again, don't use suffering.

I don't see why they can't. It would be safer (Longer PS, More regen from HB/Mending, Divine Favor) but longer, (less damage from SV). It should work, but would require lots of Suffering reapplys.

I don't see how a solo Necro can use SV as N/Mo though oh Spoil Victor ok.

So I've done a few runs, Am getting better slowly. I can beat the Grasps and Nightmares now. But if I should take out suffering what should I put in? Another perhaps shield of absorption? Or another damage skill?

Don't remove suffering. It's used as a cover hex for SV when facing the Smites. Without it you won't be able to get SV to stick for any length of time (Suffering -> wait for most smites to use Smite Hex -> SV -> Suffering immediately as a cover.)

If you're going to take out anything, you can take out Plague Touch and replace it with something like Reckless haste. That way, thing you face will attack faster, and it's another cover for SV.

Only do this if you're confident in avoiding the Grasping's [Skull Crack]s though, because if you're dazed and there's more than 1 left, you're probably screwed. You can do it with two alive, but that takes some very good Prot Spirit timing. Any more than two and your mending won't keep you alive long enough and you can't get HB up at all.
