Guardian of the Light surely you're not getting the most out of your sword as ther Req is 9 and you only have your swordmanship up to 8.
13 Dec 2005 at 07:25 - 8
Guardian, where did you get that healing ankh? I need one!
13 Dec 2005 at 08:17 - 9
What kind of drops can you expect? I mean, do they just drop shells and gold?

His is the 5k Droknar's Ankh. If you have the patience to wax some Wind Riders, go for this one, starting from Druid's Overlook:

"Just" drop shells? Heh, you know what those are worth, right?  The singular purpose of this build is to get shells.

I suppose, I hope this build doesn't reduce the current price of shells  . Anyways I love the build, great job!
13 Dec 2005 at 18:33 - 12
were to you find the wurms, i haven't been able to find a single place that they are at and hydras and minotors are getting a bit boring now
13 Dec 2005 at 19:34 - 13
That run will pop out 3-6 Wurms every time. What you do with them is your business.
13 Dec 2005 at 21:33 - 14
8 hp owns arse

Thanks I'll try it!
14 Dec 2005 at 01:54 - 16
O I can't believe it I forgot to take the attriubute points from the smiting prayers and put them into the Sword again >.< Anyways now it works fine.
Yes the Healing Anhk was from drokar's but I heard about the one that give 2 less energy but I wanted a max one because I also use it in my super tank build for Shield/focus Swaping
Cheapest way to get a farming build for this when you have platemail/knights:
1.Buy Major Absorbation and Vigor at LEAST!
2.Get the Collect's Healing Ankh from the guy meantioned above.
3. Get a MAx collecter's sword (I think I got one from this guy outside heroes)
4. Buy a Zealous sword hilt and a Sword grib of defense/fortude
And now your a farmer it may take a while fro you to get used to farming.
14 Dec 2005 at 09:21 - 17
i've tried a variation of this build based on the 55hp monk, works like charm too
14 Dec 2005 at 16:39 - 18
One day, I'll find a way to make a W/N do wurm runs...
Got to go sword though it seems since swords go through armor better than axes thanks to higher dps vs. spike damage being resisted by super high armor...

I'm thinking something along these lines:
Victory Is Mine! {E}
Dolyak Signet
For Great Justice!
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Desperation Blow
Flurry
Rotting Flesh
Not sure about the attributes but at max tactics you'd be shooting out 72 health ViMs, FGJ + Flurry + Riposte for 63 damage blocks pretty much every other attack. Whether or not it's enough defense would be the only concern I can think of, then again Desperation Blow can inflict 4 different conditions on top of Rotting Flesh... so a lot of health every 15 seconds. Might work.
Plus, 0 attribute sword builds are fun.

They sound like it takes forever to kill something. Also, Rotting Flesh is WAAYY too expensive for my build. I'm not getting extra gear for my energy 
But you do have an idea for me to work on if it's a one on one fight with a Wurm...
8+1+3 Swordsmanship
9+1 Strength
9+1 Tactics
10 Death Magic
Sever Artery
Gash
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Bonetti's Defense
Dolyak Signet
Plague Touch
Virulence {E}
Disease won't spread to you since you're not a Wurm [whew] But I think this could help a large chunk in fact...

Wasting your time with hexes. Last week I made my Monk a Necro secondary, capped Spiteful Spirit, and went to the Wurms.
Curses was at 12, which means an 18 second SS.
It lasted 6 seconds on a Wurm.
They have 66% reduction time in hexes AND conditions. The hex was over before the damn spell could even recharge. The good news for a smiter is that they don't run from AoE, so you can actually make use of Balthazaar's Aura or Symbol of Wrath. You have to damage them directly or as they attack you, and not rely on conditions or hexes. Very, very resilient bastages.

Wow, didn't know that, but explains a few things looking back. Thought they were snapping out of weakness a bit fast. I guess it triples the efficiency of Parasitic Bond at least...
15 Dec 2005 at 02:26 - 23
Uh oh
Crap this isn't impopular
15 Dec 2005 at 04:05 - 24
Do you need a max dmg sword or is most of your dmg comming from reposites?? (sp)

Most comes for Ripostes
Anyone else find it ironic that the best place to farm is the desert in GW  ?
15 Dec 2005 at 06:43 - 26
I farm em with my W/E
12 earth
13 tactics +1
7 strength +1 +3
this is far from being the best setup for attributes, but i m not gonna buy a helm for wurm hunting i made 5k in an 1h 1/4, i m not sure its profitable enough
Glad defence
armor of earth
bonnettis d
healing sig
riposte
deadly riposte
Obsidian flame // desperation blow
sprint
i deal no dmg with the sword, obsidian is good for armor penetration, desperation blow has +36 dmg and a chance of deep wound
armor of earth makes them hit for 0-1 dmg, they die fairly fast,
scarabs are ez to kill with this build
and for enchanted armor i kill melees and leave the bow at teleport
16 Dec 2005 at 04:49 - 27
It's luck of the draw how often you get shells. I once got 5 in a row, then killed almost 10 wurms before I got another one. But I invariably get about 20 a day if I spend a few hours doing so. Of course with my 55HP monk, there are other advantages, because I can go after other creatures in the area (but I shall not elaborate on that just yet...)

can we let this thread die so we cna keep the buidl to ourselves

Well your certainly not killing it........

Because now I'm bookmarking it. =P
16 Dec 2005 at 05:35 - 31
Well I don't think 20k in a few hours (pict showing them being sold at 1k, get about 20 in a few hours) is anything that Anet views as top priority as far as the nerf bat goes. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and it's good gold, but you gotta figure that the solo monk still rakes in the cash faster in UW (favor pending).
16 Dec 2005 at 06:28 - 32
Nerf Sand Wurms? How?!? Fewer drops = massive increase in sell price of Bleached Shells (only way to get 45/2 stance shield, lest we forget, and for that alone, 1k per shell is a hella bargain). Massive increase in price of shells = people seeking "alternative" ways to acquire gold to buy those shells. And I think you know what I mean.
16 Dec 2005 at 20:40 - 33
what is the most conditions will you have on you at a time?
Mend Ailment is good if you have like 2 or 3 conditons
Mend Condition is good if you only have 1
17 Dec 2005 at 04:25 - 34
you cant mend condition yourself....you should really read the skill description before saying anything.
17 Dec 2005 at 17:56 - 35
Glad you guys are enjoying the build. Not much new as of yet, but a guildie suggested subbing Gash for Final Thrust. This works quite well, since Deadly Riposte causes bleeding. All you have to do is get the Wurm to 20% health and make sure he's still bleeding, then use Gash and it's instant death. The sweet spot is right around the "S" in "Sand Wurm":
No point in using it any sooner, but it's a quick way to finish them off once you have them on the ropes. Gotta figure a level 22 is around 500 health, so that's good for ~100 in one swipe.

Yeah, that's about it. Axes also work if you go spiker, then REVERSE. the first spike hits, taking ~100 dmg off him, then when they are recharged, bam! he was dead.
18 Dec 2005 at 00:52 - 37
How do you get past the group of Enchanged Swords/Bows/hammers (spawns vary) right outside Dunes, before the teleporter? I'm running your build on my W/Mo, with platemail armor, but I can't seem to make it past them. (Tried running, but the swords have hamstring...)
18 Dec 2005 at 02:29 - 38
You make good money off of this?
18 Dec 2005 at 02:51 - 39
The build I use is:
16 Tact
Req on sword
Rest Str
Ripoiste
Desperation Blow (Mostly for the +42 damage)
Deadly Riposte
Gash (Just to make sure you apply a Deep Wound)
Glad's Defense
Bonett's
Dolyak Sig
Heal Sig
Not sure how other forms of Degen would do, but I would say that monk-healing spells are completly unessacary. Bonetti's is only needed if 2+ Wurms spawn, otherwise I guess you could brind Mend Ailment, or Spirnt to help skip the forgottens.
