55 W/Mo UW farming ......
randombuyer
ok this build is stupid i know and its everything a warrior shuoldnt be but it works, which is good enough for me. I know a ton of you are against 55 warrior builds so i expect to get flammed but please keep it to a minimum. this MIGHT have been posted before since im new to teh forums im not positive.
Its pretty amazing that this build does not have an elite, ro well no elite required
Anyways Attributes
Tactics:12+3+1
Protection:9
Healing:9
Sword: All Remaining Points
Skills
Bottenis Defense
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Protective Spirit
Mending
Balthazars Spirit
Vigiourous Spirit(Not essential I take this incase healing breeze gets interupted though and its a nice skill, I sometimes replace this with Fear Me! to help against smites, or sometimes Gladiators Defense)
Healing Breeze
This build is straightforward and only took me about 3-5 tries to get it right. Its also very tedious.Basically you start off by casting Mending, then waiting for your energy to regen entirely. Then cast Balthazars Spirit. Right befor eyou aggro some Axates just cast Vigiourous Spirit, once they get close to you use prot spirit. Use Healing breeze if fighting more than 2 axates or if you think you need it. Use Bottenis whenever possible for energy and also to help protect yourself from interupts.
After the battle has started and you ahve been whacking try to use the ripostes when you do not have much to do. They are your only attack skills. ALso use them when you are chain casting. If you have to cast prot spirit and breeze consecutively use your ripostes to block potential disrupting chops. You basically just keep your defenses up and riposte till err well a long time, this build is not TOO efective.
If you run into dying nightmares , as long as there is only one just use a monk wand that is customized to kill it before it rends. IF there are two i suggest you to run. I personally used a customized refugee to get the job done.
Next the Grasping Darkness. For these I honesly just get out my real armour and then just hit them and use ripostes, along with my energy management skills. If you cant kill these well something definately is wrong. Or if you want you can use 55 and of course kill them also i just find it fun to switch back to REAL armour sometimes.
Ok now for the Smite Crawlers you basically keep your defs up at all time and just use ripostes as much as you can. I find these very easy to be honest and well yeah, it just takes a while. Their reversal of fortune is quite annoying so i sometimes take fear me instead of vigiourous spirit to sap energy.
Between fights unless you have high energy you will have to switch offf balthazars spirit, wait for regen with one pip, switch it back on when full energy, then fight. Which i have to admit is pretty boring.
This build has VERY minoir problems on energy management actually.
Well this is about it for the guide please don't flame me too much and well ahve fun i guess. THis build can take 4 axates max i believe i dont think ill try anymore since it takes WAY too long with just ripostes. THis build should not take more than 5 smites at a time, the less the better since ripostes do more concentrated damage. I personally pefer groups of 3. I have done this with a ss/br necro and it worked pretty nicely. I am NOT saying this is better than a 55 soj monk since it probably isnt or any 55 monk or necro or mesmer or whatever, Im just saying this works and you can try it out.

Ohh, im planing on making a Necro/or Monk 55 for farming... but this might just work!
How far into UW have you gotten?

Vigiourous Spirit is nice but i prefer signet of judgment for interrupting the dying nightmares cause just wanding is too risky in my opionen.
signet of jugdment cause no need to be near the enemy + no energy costs
i also tryed spellbreaker but for that i´m missing a few energy points to cast spellbreaker + Protective Spirit .. if someone wanna sponsor me a HoD sword the problem would be solved
i cleaned the whole ice lvl with it

ok finally some positive responses, el inferno signet of judgement is not too useful in my opinion but suit yourself, elthanor i have done a normal 55 monk smite run with this
guys im not too good wtih fraps if someone can pm me tlelin gme how to sue it, i can make a video
i DONT use glads denfense because it gets in the way of bottennis for energy

hmmmm, not too shabby, nicely done you explain why everything is up there because if i just saw the skills, i would've just said no to this.
But what would be kind of need would be a superior rune of absorption if you can afford it that is. And maybe shielding hands if you can fit it in the skills. But these looks great.

Its a 55 monk build so sup absorb would make your health 130, and absorbtion does nothing
Healing Hands is a skill i was toying with and it makes the run easier but unforutnately it only lasts 10 secs, It also makes runs at smites take signifacantly slower but then again safer

But healing hands is a great on though, I also with healing seed could work on yourself no on target OTHER ally.

randombuyer
the problem is sup absorbtion DOES NOT subtract health =P
All 55 builds you use sup runes that subtract your health by 75
also absorbtion is absolutely useless in this build
Healing Hands, I acknowledged would make surviving a ton easier

sig has 2 sec cast, which normally is not enough, it also alows axates a window to interupt
i normally just wand it once i see it pop up, i also tried banish to kill it which was not TOO bad

How do you deal with the Ripostes that the Attaxes use against you?
randombuyer
With prot spirit ripostes do 5 dmg, not a problem
killa kron
or just dont attack=p
Julen
the aatxes arent much of a problem indeed, its those pesky nightmares, i can never kill em fast enough for them not to rend. what kind of wand should i have for them to drop fast enough?

collectors wand outside nolani

ahhaa, i ran a build similar to this except in reverse mo/w with riposte, i was tryn to figure out a way to deal damage yet not sacrifice spell breaker, lol didn work out too well, interesting take, but these 55 builds kinda scare me, im not very use to keeping up an enchantment in uw cus of the whole nightmare problem. lol i switch over to n/me, using signet of midnight, and reckless haste + price of failure but didn go too well with the smites lol
Benji1987
Can i just ask what superior runes are u using in this build. I can see Tactics in the first post but i was wondering what other 4 u use. Thx
Riken Chrono
one of each and another w/e. No vigors or absorptions though. so basically
Mr. Smith
I will certainly try this build out as it looks very interesting and feasible

any pref on armour? yes i would like to try this build out too. Havn't seen a Warrior solo build for UW and i am glad this one was posted so i dont have to start a new monk character.
I would like to know the armor, weapon mods and runes used in this build
Also, how far did you get in UW with this build?
thanks

I would honestly never try this, mainly because I have a 55. But, you deserve your props with this, something I never thought I'd see. A 55 warrior...I've seen a few builds, but never one that could go into and actually clear sections of UW.
Mad props yo

i was doing this today, and killed one, almost the other, but i died. idk what im doing wrong, i ahve glads armor, all the skills, and all the attrbutes. i just fight and suddenly i die. and there are no nightmares around or anything to rend...... so idk whats up.
boberto
with a 55 it doenst matter wat the ac on armor is, so it makes no diff where u get it. mods on armor that add extra armor wont help with aatxes so id go with cheapest armor u can find
Zelot
I went out i tried your build and well it ok but im gonna stik with my monk.
The Primeval King
I like this build so far but on occasion after i cast prot spirit I suddenly take 77 damage and die. Is this an invisible nightmare out to get me for life?!

get one from droks/desert/southern shivvies whatever that IS max damage and can actually kill stuff under a minute

I just tried this build yesterday... works a charm
needed a few attempts to get used to it and learn the moves and attacks of all the mobs...but after 12 runs in total.. lets just say my gold balance is above the starting point
I just went for the Quest today..klled off the Darknesses but using my normal armor since their dmg is not much above 5 anyway, I see no need for 55hp and they interrupt the hell out of me so spamming Prot PSirit I doubt would work.
Still have to reach smiters tho... caus eI keep forgetting to re-cast Prot Spirit on me and that what keeps kiling me
)
anyway... I have a question... that WAND! WHERE can I get a wand with max dmg that has Healing or Prot for req.? I'd say nowhere, they don't exist... but I'm still hoping someone would know
cause killing them with wand is useless..they still have time to Rend me down..so I just cast Vif Spirit and Breeze on me (takes 2sec and their Rend 3 to cast) so the Nighty dies immediately after it Rends my enchants... only prob is if Aaxtes are aggroed at the same time.. then running is the only option and hoping the don't follow you both: Aaxte AND Nighty....
