W/N UW Solo: Testament of Warriors
lambda the great
just replace WY! with Shield stance.

Truthfully, I was doing this with a water wand before I found the nolani wand. I recommended it simply because all you're doing is attacking with it anyway so you might as well use something that attacks faster.

racthoh... GW nerfed that wand so it doesnt give the +10% attack speed anymore.

Actually the wand is the least of your issues. I hadn't even considerd the amount of extra damage you'll be taking from the smite's Zealot's Fire. With the number of times I've been near death against a group of 5 of them, that extra +5 damage every time they cast a spell is going to make matters a little more difficult.
I still haven't tried it since the change, I just realized that now.

Have you timed how fast you can finish a run? All the way to finishing the smites?
Solo is nice, but the point is to farm ectos, and speed determins the rate. (From a logic point of view).
I wouldn't bother with this if a 55hp and a SS/SV can finish a run twice as fast.

It's roughly a minute per aatxe, then up to 2 minutes per group of smites. So whatever that works out to.

Well I tried this for the first time today.... 15 failures lol. On my last try before we lost favor I managed to kill one, but that's it. I aggroed the 2 on top of the stairs and went to the corner where the stairs meets the wall but somehow they both attacked at the same time so I died. At that exact moment - EU Takes favor. It was a victory but yet a total loss at the same time.
bos_dr
ive been trying this alot lately and i still cant get it. i noticed that the first group always has 3 aatxes instead of 2 and 1 on patrol. but somehow the aatxe kills me in about 5 seconds even with WY, DS and enfeeble.
Racthoh
Well despite the fact that Zealot's Fire does more damage now to warriors, this is still possible to do. Managed some time to test it today, still works with the slower wand and the warrior armour balance.

bos_dr
mmhmm... is it still possible with glads? thats all i have atm.
Racthoh
I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Raxxman
why do you use stance effective armour in areas that aren't hit that often?
Just find it weird

Racthoh
When you go into Bonetti's, it should completely refill your energy.

Still possible without the 10% faster attack rate, it was just optimal to use.

After the aatxes its rather easy, I suggest training on Sskai DragonBirth (Sp?).. He should do around 100 on you without being weakened.. close to an Aatxe. Practice using the wand and swapping sets, etc.

is this the build you mentioned in the w/r aatxe soloing thread?

I believe it took me around 5 minutes to drop the 3 terrorwebs to claim the 5,000 experience. Since my swordsmanship was 2, it takes a while to tank through Meteor Showers and Fireballs, dealing only about 45 damage every 7 seconds through Desperation Blow. But with all that armour, the burning from Mark of Rodgort was the biggest threat.
The strategy for killing the aatxes and such are the same, although since I had my Earth Magic specced to 8 you could probably use an earth wand instead to build adrenaline.
Going to try again, see if I can successfully complete the dreaded Unwanted Guests quest. Just going to be a pain since that means killing 6 more terrorwebs so I can teleport around.

I am seeking some information from the UW experts here instead of creating a new thread:
Q: Does Warrior's Cunning able to avoid the Riposte and Deadly Riposte skills from Aaxtes?
Warrior's Cunning: Skill 10 mana, 60 secs recharge
For 5-10 seconds your melee attacks cannot be blocked or evaded.
By the way, this is for general Group build setup. I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet.

You'll still take the damage.

could you substitute watch yourself, for drunken blow? or would that be too many energy skills to synergize with each other?

You need the defense from all three skills against the Terrorwebs. Although next time I go down I'll be using a +10 vs. fire shield and a +10 AL sword.
When there are three Terrorwebs, you need to use Desperation Blow as often as possible and recast Armour of Earth as it ends. The 2 pips of energy regen, or even with a Zealous sword, is not enough to maintain this forever. If anything, Sever Artery would be best since bleeding is ultimately what causes them to die over time if you were going to replace Watch Yourself! with anything else.

Racthoh i like your stuff purely because it teaches people that cookie cuttahs aren't the only way theres soo many ways to solo the you-dubbya and you helped me start the process of thinking to solo it without going 55 all the time.
I hope more people have started making their own UW solos because of you like i have its fun, challenging, and keeps you thinking.
thanks!

amazing the items you get from these noob quests, need to look over them, and see if any of the rewards are worth to get, they always have freak items like that, also, in the last screenshot, is that tombs?
