W/N UW Solo: Testament of Warriors
Racthoh
Actually I'm making a compilation of my warrior including the... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6 spots I think he farms at. UW, FoW, Perdition, Sand Wurms, Grawls, and Avicara. Yup, 6. (In Nolani section)

I'll have to try some UW farming with my War sometime. Great build sir.

Damn, is it just me or is this pretty complicated. I have spent 10k trying this and fail miserably each time. Racthoh, my ingame name is Mistcane of Apoc. Could you take me with you sometime so I can see what I'm doing wrong? I get them down half way or so then my health just drops straight down. Thanks

Meh [SMS] Is leet =p, LEADER SIR ( Racthoh ) revealed his Warrior UW and FoW build, and Avarre revealed his UW Mesmer farming build, meh meh lol.
Oh and those getting frustrated due to not being able to get this UW build right *coughmecough*, here's a easier, yet 10x slower build =)
Signet of Midnight
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Shield Stance
Empathy
Healing Signet
Dolyak Signet
Attributes : 16 tactics
9 strength
9 domination magic
Simple, blind, smack empathy on, riposte and deadly riposte here and there. Oh and I like to pair up signet of midnight with deadly riposte to ensure i dont get it =p.

You crazy subordinates...
Although I believe one thing you forgot was that when you kill an aatxe to make sure that Signet of Midnight is almost fully recharged so that when you start on the next one you aren't getting pummeled to the death. Shield Stance will only go so far in some cases.

this is awesome

I've been doing some more testing...
W/Mo - Life Attunement, 8 Protection Prayers
W/E - Armour of Earth, 10 Earth Magic (take points from strength)
All a matter of figuring out w/r and w/me for a complete warrior soloing library.

We still love you! (Usually I have to pay for the kind of entertainment watching Got spamdie brings!).
I don't think i could do the war build, I'm very slow and not suited for actually solofarming. Plus i have no warriors
W/Me = since enfeeble was for aatxes only, just need 1 skill to help vs those... maybe spirit of fail for 25% miss chance? Phantom pain for the deep wound to finish faster? *Shrug*

Dear Racthoh,
All I want for Wintersday is a video of you soloing the UW with a candy cane sword, and a candy cane wand. And you can top that off by using a peppermint shield. If I can get a video of that I would be delighted
I know you can do this with the CC sword since you have 0 in swords and you do your damage from Riposts and Glads D. But if you can pull this off with the full wintersday equipment that would be awesome. And since you find this game sooooooooo easy it would add some challenge to your daily routine.

w/mo - i'm actually working on a completely diff build. haven't gotten far though. i need more playing time. it's a variant of a 55 build.
w/e - try using enervating charge instead of armor of earth. i've had more success with enervating than with armor. have the nightmares been stripping your armor?
w/me - i've been toying a lot with this one. my skillbar is always changing, but i'll share once its success is consistent.
w/r - i leave that one to you. =P
the holiday season has been hectic at work. once i get actual playing time, i'll do a few test runs and post results.

You can't use Expertise if you have ranger as a secondary profession.

then maybe this
Dust Trap

Deadly Riposte
Shield Stance
Gladiators Defense
Bonettis Defense
Healing Signet
Dolyak Signet

9 wilderness survival
just time it so where dust trap comes while using bonettis

Keep in mind that bonneti ends if you use a skill. I'd rather stick to the Necro as a secondary profession. Dust traps costs alot.

just time it so where dust trap comes while using bonettis That 25 energy cost on Dust Trap is going to hit you like a falling meteor. Especially since aatxes often hit through bonetti's when you least expect it (it will get 2 swings in while you lay the trap, thats a 50% chance of you getting messed up). Maybe if you use both ripostes to guard it...
Throw Dirt might work, to use when stances are down.

throw dirt would be useful if you could use expertise, otherwise its only 3 seconds with a 45 second recharge

Well I'll still have to craft one of the CC swords, and get a +5 Defense mod for it.

Well, I dont think you can mod those swords, I havent tried, but I have heard they dont mod.
One thing I should mention (it was asked earlier) a good place to practice this style of build (without spending the 1K) is Dunes of Despair mission. At the very begining there are several groups of losaru bladehands that all use ripost (not savage slash though unfortunately) but it will get you practiced in switching weapons, etc. You will need to not wear any armor to get the full effect of the damage the attaxes can do.
Its not an exact replica of the situation, but its the closest thing I could find to try without spending the money on the UW.

Good point. What else could you use.?
No, the CC items are nonmoddable. You can borrow my CCsword though Ract!

weap slot 1 - sword and shield
weap slot 2 - wand and shield
weap slot 3 - bow for pulling
weap slot 4 - staff for extra energy
how it could work. wand to activate bonettis defense, then switch too staff and cast dust trap. then switch back to wand and repeat as needed

So in the end, it gives no bonus at all. So long as your max energy in glads can meet the dust-trap cost, you'd be no worse off... and the problem of likely being interrupted is still there.

Racthoh,
How do you switch weapons. I try using the icons which I put next to my skill bar, however, I noticed that 50% of the time my weapon does not switch when I click on it, and this result in me striking the aataxe with my sword resulting in instant bleeding! Do you use the F1, F2 key, or do you assign them to another quick key?

SirShadowrunner
Read the very first post carefully by Racthoh, I believe he says to move back with the
"s" key then switch, if you are a "wasd" user, I don't know anybody who redefines the
movement keys, I am still waiting to try this out, trying to get an IDS at the moment.

well i'm not racthoh but i will atempt to help you
the weapon switching thing was one of the things that was stoping me when i first started to use this build ...heres a few tips:-
1. make sure you press the s key to stop your current action before switching
2. make sure you your not using any skills when switching as this is where you get that "i switched but it switched right back again " thing happening..
3. Try to practice the key patern on your keyboard
I.E. F1 (Sword & Shield), 3 (Deadly Riposte), 5 (Enfeeble), F2 (Wand & Shield), 1 (Gladiators Defense) ...and so on
Hope that helps !

Thanks,
I do hit the s key "back" before I switch, but I wondered if you all used the F1-F4 keys to switch your weapons. I was just clicking on the weapon icons with my mouse and ocassionally it did not switch.
I wonder if I also try to switch it before riposte gets used so that might be why it is not switching over to wand. The other thing that I forget to do is engage once i switch to the wand. Do most of you hit "C" and then space bar to re-engage?

Do most of you hit "C" and then space bar to re-engage? In my videos (if you downloaded them) you'll notice that I mouse over my weapon sets indicated that I do in fact click on them to switch. However recently I've switched to using the F1-F4 keys to change my weapons.
If you switch back the wand, and Riposte has yet to be used then the icon will simply remain there. If you switch back to the sword it will get triggered.
To avoid attacking with your sword because sometimes you won't switch weapon sets is to ensure that when you're making the swap you are finishing your current attack. I advised to change when one of the stances starts to flash but make sure to finish your current attack before attempting the switch to prevent any chance of swinging your sword by accident. Just keep an eye on the icon during the swap to make sure everything works out.
Hope that isn't... too confusing.

hey, racthoh, i was thinking of a seperate W/N build, cause im not smart enough to time the Riposte / Deadly Riposte thing
i was thinkin of 2 curses skills : Insidious Parasite and Parasitic Bond.
as their names imply, both skills help you gain health and also hurt the enemy
Insidious Parasite could be used on Aataxes to almost completely counter their damage when their weakened and your dolyaked and to do quite some damage that is up to almost par with the Ripostes, so you can remain at top health even when bleeding, and Parasitic Bond on the smites to survive their shield of judgement or if your getting spiked and dont wanna lose 40 armor, cause they use smite hex ever so often, and parasitic bond heals whenever it ends, or removed.
yes, i was thinking that energy might be a problem, but i figure if i let bonetti's last the entire 10-11 seconds, i could stay in top shape for energy. but then i have to factor in getting enough adrenaline for bonetti's and Watch Yourself after casting I.P. and Enfeeble on the aataxes.
just a concept, and im probably gonna test it out this weekend and i was wondering your input ^^

Racthoh
Two words: Smite Hex. The main reason why I only use the one necromancer spell from the curse line. Also, you're not supposed to attack when they have Shield of Judgement in effect. It lasts for about 20 seconds, so take a look at your skillbar. If Dolyak Signet is at about half recharge, you can start attacking when it gets to that point again (since whenever it fills you should be activating it).
El_Inferno
i tryed the w/me with signet of midnight.
i can kill one with no problem but how can you fight against mobs of 2 or even 3? you cant cast midnight on all of them ...

Racthoh
I've personally never used it, but I believe you have to time the deaths so that one dies as the signet is about to recharge.
Avarre
He means that if you're fighting many things at once and you don't block them.
You can take the aatxes by bodyblocking them on each other, and maybe graspings since they're weak, but dont try smites

legs
hmm.. just a qick thought. is the wand really necessary for killing the aataxes?
it does not do much damage, and not having to switch weapons would decrease the difficulty of the run alot.
What I mean is this: you aggro them as usual but then you just stand there and take it, letting them bleed and pummel themself to their death with out attacking at all...

You don't use the wand to kill them, you use it to build up your adrenaline quicker.
