my post ;[ anyway i watched fenixxor's video, pretty nice stuff; really fast heh. i have a sickness, i must always pick up everything that drops >_<
The Fenixxor
*cough* we were looking for a different file hosting service to file front since some people werent able to download from that site... doesnt matter now though as the situation has been resolved.
Avarre
Ugh, didn't manage to finish a run due to silly mistakes (Sesha took unwanted guests and we died, then i focusswapped at a bad time and got us killed again).
In any case, we'll post an edited version when we're done. We aren't going for a time win, just completion as we're running 2 mesmer monks. The Fenixxor
I'll be impressed if u can do unwanted guests... i guess you'll have to do alot of sidestepping Showers and spamming of ur skills to stay alive... GL
Avarre
Yep, but terrorwebs aren't so hard. I've got that part recorded
Unwanted is just a matter of positioning, you'll see it soon!Recorded all area clearing, but not quests... though smites needs to be redone cause the file doesn't work  As for sidestepping... Servants of Grenth ftl. The 18-terrorweb meteor-dance. lord of shadow
gonna have to pull out, went on a practice try, and got it done (wasnt timing but around 1:10 as we were going in an entirely random order), i got the recording equipment, waityed till i had enough time and asked monk.. he's giving up uw, now looking for a new partener for uw in general, even if we dont do this challenge any more.
bye templar synbius, you will be missed. The Fenixxor
doh, that sucks - i hope you find someone...

 Edit: Must be, otherwise there would be a lot more -3's Shield Of Deflection FTW? Desortiong FTW? Sentao Nugra
Avarre uses Shield of Deflection ONLY when he goes down with Jerrypants, our build uses the normal Mesmer tank.
This coming weekend, I would expect the video FOOTAGE to be completed, as it's only a matter of quests. Hopefully we won't have to leave the computers on all night downloading the video because of its length!! P.S. The build I am using for the support damage is severely hindered by the 2 res skills I have, If Avarre would stop dying we might get it done faster! J/K Avarre, J/K

Servents of Grenth and Unwanted Guests are no problem for me.
Escort of Souls is a bitch though, they never seem to group fast enough or leave the SS alone long enough. I have pretty much cleared out the entire of UW using a 55 monk tank though. That was a damn amusing 5 man trip (then 3man by the Chaos Planes :S). Did every single quest UW had to offer except The Four Horseman.... lol we got totally owned.

yea, four horsemen was certainly the hardest for our 3man group. We died the first 3 times we went in to do it, but finally cleared the whole thing. It just takes a very clever strategy (that i'm not going to give you
 )Think about it, you should be able to figure out what to do

55 Monk switches armor, triple Spellbreak the Reaper and let him tank. Fire damage pwns him, so make sure you don't let any Meteor Showers, etc., land.

Way to go taking all the adventure out of it. It's supposed to be an accomplishment, if you just read exactly how to do it, it takes all the skill out and kills the individual thinking. I was trying to preserve some of the sense of pride they'd get by finishing it, but I suppose you don't care about that.
A friend of mine spent 3 days asking me how we did it just after we completed it. I told him to think very carefully about what the quest involves and after a bit of logic, he figured it out on his own. Not everyone needs or wants to get it spoon fed from a forum.
Tsunami Rain
(this is straying a bit off-topic) When I first started reading about the quests in UnderWorld I felt as if seemed easy (most of which was) but I don't think that I would have ever came up with the strategies/tactics used. It probably would have taken me many tries and a bit of time to think about the quests to figure out what I was doing wrong. Now days I do take the time to think of builds and stategies that I can use in various types of farming and questing and find it a lot more enjoyable to beat a quest or be able to farm a certain area when I thought of it myself. Imo it shows player-growth.
//offtopic Well back on-topic, anyone still working on this challenge?

I have done 10 smites and 3 cfs....so I'll give that a try although I don't think a tank like the one in your pic is even necessary at any point during the smite run.Tsunami Rain don't close the thread. If I do end up getting my time down to where I think I can I would like to post that vid. I am sure Fenixxor feels the same way.

Actually if you're going for the most efficient run, that pull is necessary sometimes, depending on how the smites spawn. I always grab both of those coldfire groups together, but sometimes theres a single group of smites in the middle of them (they're usually higher up though.) I tank an identical group (as in Cerb's pic) about once every 3rd or 4th run.

lol that happened to me quite a few times (pulling the smites back and accidentally running into the coldfires). I usually just end up dead. Maybe I'll try it sometime, but recently I've been doing a lot of FoW. Haven't done a lot of 55 tanking in uw lately.As you know I'm the scardy-55 and try to grab as many as possible that I know I can tank even if my ss somehow screws up a bit. Pulling like you do is for the insane . I guess that means I'll have to try it sometime
cerb
I had a good spawn, three (small
 ) smite groups with two 3x colds groupwoot 4 me iggyemu
Well I did 11 smites and 3 coldfires..thats the good news...bad news is I couldn't stop to take a screen shot. I didn't quite expect it to be that much they just all came out of nowhere so I didn't tell my necro to be prepared...oh and how do I know it was 11.....I died after 2 minutes....we killed the cfs but the smites weren't grouped well so they were able to smite hex....so when I died I counted them up....
I know this means little without a screenshot....I'll try to get 1 next time.
