Me/Mo UW Solo Build

I don't do the run much anymore, and these days I tend to die from minor slipups that are ever so common since I don't like paying attention to enchants.

However if I'm available when you pm me, I probably wouldn't mind. Just don't be alarmed if I die horrifically (I'd pay the run cost, of course)


Usually for reaching giants, I can just sprint across the plain. Wurms slow you down but usually don't keep following near the portal where the giants are. If one does, just kill

Slightly off-topic, but some time ago I was asked what changes I had my necros do to their skillbar to complement my build better when two man running.

I hope this answers all possible, conceivable questions.




Drain ench added to help slow down the selfheal on mobs... nothing special

Hmmm...interesting. Having just got a 55Hp mesmer setup, I've only killed griffons, minotaurs and devourers...just for fun. But wandering around the the UW with a mesmer sounds like more fun, I must try this one day.

Good thread btw.

Built my Solo mesmer last night... only to find out something I already knew: I don't like to play with myself :P. Other than that, it is is very humourous and works quite well. Really, this is easy to do.

I saved up the cash to try the UW again (I died instantly first couple of times I tried), and managed to clear the 12 aataxes in the first area - got my first ecto & my first sapphire in one run

I can finally experience the UW (on my own) since no-one in ToA will take a mesmer in a group. Thank you Avarre

As I said in my last post (yes sorry for double), terrors may be possible. In actuality the hardest part was taking enough hits to keep energy from dying:



Drop ess bond versus them, use powerdrain to gain energy. Full tactic to killing them and that room is being added to first post...

Is this build valid for the new UW?

No, Fingers of Chaos will demolish your enchantments instantly, and there is shatter enchant hate. It is unlikely the PvE Tombs can be soloed by mortal man or woman.



AND THEN I LAGGED AND DIED ARGH.

Just to say, Unwanted Guests is completely possible, added strategy to the first post.

How do you get the Cities of Ascalon quest? I've done the first quest that Symon the Scribe has to offer but he won't give me the Cities of Ascalon quest afterwards.

Very nice build. I haven't actually played a 55hp monk before so I needed (and still need) quite a bit of practice but I'm working on it! I also find that bringing along a N/Mo friend with vengence, ressurect, and +3 mending (helps with energy if u end up with 60dp) plus an extra set of armor helps a lot with the learning process; saved me at least 5k.

Also, rogue's armor works perfectly fine. I got a set of Ascalon's rogue's simply for looks and tried it out. I think you just need close to 30 energy (with offhands) to be able to manage. That way you can cast sv, prot spirit and healing breeze in quick succession without having to worry about energy at all.

Yup, max energy is only really a concern versus terrorwebs, because when fighting the last one energy really starts getting tight, to the point that you may have to switch to a staff. Learning the build with a supporter is handy too (I practiced tanking terrorwebs with Mr. Jerrypants).

osiB, the first quest (the one where you find the 3 monuments) gives you the cesta, it isn't listed as -50 in the rewards window as that does not show all the mods of the items you will receive.

Okay Avarre, I've seen this thread for a while and think mesmer farming is great. But lets see a build that can do it w/o the 55 monk skills, then Ill be prout of you. If you would like some help figuring it out, I can point you in the right direction just hit me up in game.

Neat, I always new I had a pve mesmer for something :P

Sentao, what's with the completely random post?

I never said anywhere in this thread that this was a fully original or impressive build. I did, however, state that it was a build meant to complete a smiterun, and it can go beyond that to completing unwanted guests.

I never posted it for pride, I posted it because it's an easy build, an easy run, and could profit people perhaps.

In any case, if I look past the somewhat offending tone of your post..

Killing aatxes without 55 monk setup is pretty simple, using an empathy/signet of midnight arrangement. Me/N for enfeeble can work, although Me/Mo for a stronger self-heal and prot spirit (whether 55 or not, it helps) is a bit better. You can clear the labyrinth easily with that (and I believe a form of the build was heavily documented awhile ago). However, the challenge to examine are the grasping darknesses. A necromancer can quite possibly take down a group of 4 at once (resolve + echoed SS) but a mesmer lacks to spread damage to bring them down, especially as your focus of damage would have been empathy for aatxes in my previous example. Also, you'd be having to use epidemic + signet of midnight, which keeps you alive on a % chance basis. A 55 build, while taking much less skill or effort, is based on numerics completely and not on a %to miss, and can also go much further than a non-55.

Also, when you consider the smites, you can't hex them (smite hex, and that hurts when you're at normal hp), you can't blind them (mend cond, and there's nothing you could do after using sig of mid), and you don't have the survivability to stand against them long. Don't even start about vengeful aatxes + Keepers, or even terrors for that matter.

Not to say I won't put thought into it, however.

Now, this build is the leet!
Got 4 ectos for far. Bulletproof!
