W/N UW Solo: Testament of Warriors
Racthoh
Given that you can do Gladiator's Defense (11 seconds, 30 recharge) followed by Shield Stance (21 seconds, 60 recharge) then Gladiator's again... you'll have a 19 second gap in which you won't be blocking their attacks waiting for Gladiator's to come back up again.

So why would ANET nerf it ? and dont tell me the "blabla ... shouldnt be possible solo" Why? Since when has Anet needed a reason to nerf? You know it's only a matter of time before the next nerf.

Precisely, no more just standing there while you go to the market and grab some chips. There are fewer monks doing it now because there is actually some level of human intelligence required to complete the task.
This, however, requires much more than Mending, Protective Spirit, and Healing Breeze. It requires timing above all else, and patience. One single slip up *can* mean death. Foolishly letting a Dying Nightmare get a Rend away is the only thing that will stop you.
Anyway, this is straying off topic. I don't want my thread closed.
Strider, you may be onto something... I am getting that err=25 (or was it 27?) when I try to log in as of late... seriously I am.

yesterday we had favor all the day.GO AMERICA!
with a friend,we went as 2 ppl(kill faster so more runs,easier and we can chat ^^)
We cleaned every smiters and every aatxes of the area,but not great drops...only 2 ghosts keys and an eternal staff
Our build was
Healing Monk(with mend aliment,word of healing,healing breeze,rebirth...)
War/necro with ure build+rez signet.The monk(me)stood just behind the warrior,a lil bit behind him,so i could heal him during his fight,he didnt wasted time to heal himself
but no good drops,each runs,we just had our money back

ok ok ...i said to racthoh i would be the first success story ... and anyway an update ! lol and thanks to him acctaully taking me on one of his runs i have set my new personal best of 4 aataxes (the lone one, the group on the left and the first of the group on the right)
also i had the worst thing happen to me ... ecto dropped but i decided to finish off the next aataxe before picking it up which killed me so i could'nt get it ROFL oh well ...but look how much health the aataxe that killed me had ! annoying ? extreamly ! (check out the episode 3 darth vader style NOOOO in the chat window !)

We had a fun chat didn't we. 
That will always suck when that does happen. That's why (although I don't do this when showing people) I will get them blocked off on the other side of the stairs. It isn't very difficult to do, it's a similar style you'll have to employ on one of the groups after you've opened the doors anyway. This way, however, it will prevent situations like this from happening if you're not 100% confident in your abilities.
In the first pict, I would've definately done another Healing Signet before Gladiator's started to fade as the icon indicates. 255 health when going into a Bonetti's is risky.

believe it or not the last pic i was almost 100% sure i could stop doing the normal patern and just d.riposte and riposte it and i would win becuase it was so low on health and i was acctually quite high ....until i switched to my sword to use those skills i forgot to move back to stop attacking and instead i got killed by a riposte and deadly riposte bleeding and gash !!!....thats why i did'nt pic up the ecto first ...becuase i got to confident ha ha ha....ahem let that be a lesson to the rest of you !

LOOOOOOOL..u r Jinx the unlucky man ^^

Racthoh, you are a GOD. How do you do it? First the FoW Spider Farmer (which is brilliant, already up to 102 shards), then this?! What next, a warrior to farm Thunderhead Keep and Hell's Precipice? But seriously, great job with the build. I tried it and died the first few times, but got an ecto or two another time. So it balances out. Thanks, now I shall never go poor.

Thunderkeep, the FoW Spider Farmer build can get you pretty far. Hell's would be interesting... haven't tried to farm their yet. Perdition Rock is as close as I can come right now.
stefan16, you're best to try and contact me ingame and not wait for me. I haven't been on much as of late so I've been showing who I can in the time I have.

ok by now racthoh must feel like i'm stalking him (cos i tend to talk his ear off when i catch him ingame ....escpecially my strange questions about FoW armor 
)
BUTTTTTTTT....
i set a new personal best ! 8 attaxes ... and i started to get a few ectos together now

At that moment I was casting Mend Ailment while standing in the lava at The Crag.
Finally got around to trying it with Armour of Earth. Smites... TOO easy. The aatxe were slightly harder, hitting for around 40 with just Armour of Earth in effect. I dropped my strength to 9 and put Earth Magic to 10. If you do it this way, I would suggest bringing a bow so you can pull the aaxtes preventing any chance of Dying Nightmares popping up.

As I said before, there are different versions of the wand. Just keeping zoning until he has one that doesn't have 10% chance to miss.
Dahnel
ok forget 8 aatxes i have lost count now ! i cleared the whole room and finally got to those smite crawlers ! (note i did'nt kill the 2 aatxes infront of the entrance to the smite crawlers simply because idid'nt know where to block them off! )
basicly i died at smites because ..er i suck ! lol and its the first time i got to them with this build ...

Nice work Dahnel, made it to the monument yet?

Racthoh, you so crazy...
When I finally get my warrior ascended, I'm definitely going to have to try your revered and legendary Spider and Aatxe farmer builds
Thanks for being such a forum fiend and posting your wonderful builds.

Had you joined my guild you could've found out sooner.
The speed at which I've been doing them has increased as I've been developing new techniques to speed up the process. I think I have it down to just over an hour, but that can increase or decrease depending on my timing against the smites. If my sword is triggering their Reversals of Fortune instead of Gladiators Defense, Riposte, and Deadly Riposte it goes much faster.
Hard to say because I also get whispered a lot and chat with the guild so that also plays a factor.

That would be *too* cruel by ANet. I'm pretty sure that would destroy stance-tanking, invinci-monks, and this build's chances at surviving in the Underworld, or at least severely hinder them. I suppose you could Deadly Riposte the Wild Blow, but you'd have to get lucky with your timing... not to mention the fact that Wild Blow's recharge is faster than Deadly Riposte... eventually those Aatxes will catch you with your pants down, without adrenaline to Riposte and with Deadly Riposte recharging... but they probably didn't, so it's most likely a moot point.
Racthoh
Wild Blow can't be blocked so I'd be out of luck anyway you slice it.
Edit: By the way, FileFront is working again so if anyone needs to download it the links are working again.

Well, that shuts me up. All that yammering and I didn't even read the skill description for Wild Blow very carefully. I'll keep my fingers crossed, hopefully the Aatxes haven't convened with the Charr to figure out the secrets of Wild Blow.

well they did'nt give them wild blow lol ...thank god too i only just got this build down !
but seriously i dont think the nerfing of this build will come for a long time, racthoh as you said on that run its not something a typical griffon farmer can just throw on and get some ecto like the invinci monk build ..which still has'nt been nerfed completly
EDIT: No offence to the invinci-monks out there ....please dont hurt me
