UW Solo Mo/W Build and Tutorial

Where did you get the armor that you are wearing not the body armor it looks very much like censors armor is dyed at all?There is one thing what do you use weapon slot no1 for just for protecting yourself or do you do any casting? Its granite citadel judges set. I just use weapon set 1 for casting.. the icon has a +30 hp bonus which I don't want during combat.


To take down darknesses::
1] cast zealots fire on yourself
2] get just outside of aggro, healing breeze yourself
3] attack one of them and keep attacking
4] once bonettis is charged, use it and then cast healing breeze (which should be uninterrupted.. you can wait if you need to to regain a bit of energy.. i'd rather err on the safe side vs these things tho)
5] usually after a cast of bonettis my energy is filled, so after i healing breeze ending bonettis, I cast a balthazars aura.. once bonettis fills again cast healing breeze and then balths aura again and repeat till they're dead.

some things that can go wrong--
-i've noticed when you use blessed sig vs them they tend to cast blindness which totally screws me up. so don't use blessed sig.
-if an aataxe gets mixed in with them it can really add to the interrupts you recieve which makes it very dangerous.. its possible to take a mob of darknesses +1-2 aataxes but its pretty risky.

ok on to smite run
once you clear the darknesses the doors open up and you can head out towards the smite area.. you will encounter 4 aataxes and (4?) creeping darknesses.. I try to avoid the darknesses and aggro the aataxes if I have to while I make my way to smites. once you clear the aataxe mob or get past without aggroing you'll encounter the smites.

the smites are cake with this build. the one thing they can do to mess with you is Sheild of Judgement which is a temporary knockdown, but if you're ontop of your healing breeze you're fine. Zealots fire does the full (37 in my case) damage to them, and they attack quickly enough that you should have enough energy to spam healing breeze/balthazars aura at your discretion.

there are 3 easy groups of smites you can get, the first group, another group when the path opens up, and another group to the left. avoid aggroing the coldfires at all costs.

if you happen to encounter some coldfires you're in for a tough fight. the only way i've managed to take them down (this sounds weird but it works) is to run around them in circles, hitting them with your balthazars aura while in the meantime avoiding their malestroms (you'll see the ice drop from the sky which is the malestrom spell i believe). They take a while to kill and they don't drop much so I usually just go for the smites.

Before the recent update they were dropping ecto for me pretty frequently, I got a couple max dmg storm bows, eternal bows, etc..


Yeah so anyways this build can be improved, I have speced my attributes very carefully (also you can respec after you get prot bond on) and my health is not optimal. Optimal health is as close as you can get under a multiple of twenty (I.e. 20x5 = 100, 99 hp will cause you to lose 5 hp per hit yet leave you with a bit more room to work with) There are dangers of lowering your hp in this particular build because an inability to cast healing breeze could mean death very easily.


What still needs to be done::
-Find some item/rune combination that gets hp to optimal.. 99 or 79 would be good imho (Altho aataxes do drop max hp w/ a condition).
-Figure out a way to take down the dryders
-Is it possible at all to take down behemoths? Very dangerous area with the spirit that strips enchantments.

Some quesitons I have--
Does mending heal 5 hp per sec at lvl 17? If so it might be an alternative to using healing breeze.
Assuming its possible to fully clear the chamber, do wraiths take 2x damage due to holy? Are there more undead creatures in the UW? (Balths aura)
Is it worth it anymore? My good drops have really decreased in the past day or so.
