Echo SS/SV UW BUILD!!!

build works great....just touchy, not much room for error, but hey "it anit supposed to be easy..."

very cool, adds a wack dimension to the game....i now am lookin at my beast master ranger/monk and thinkin...hmmm same idea, tank and damage from afar

unfortunally for me, my monk had to be coached a bit in the understanding that he is nothing other than aggro, and the necro is the damage dealer.....he kept bringing zealots fire...

he also didnt have any training as a 55/105 monk before we begin pissing gold away.....so far we are in the red, but everytime we try we are getting better...and all we need is one more ecto to drop (and they havent been for us)

communication is the key....

i had to tell him that the most imprtant thing is Protective Spirit, then Healing Breeze ,and spellbreaker fro the nightmares/etc....

once we got that out of the way, it was smite city baby

but we still have problems....havent been able to clear all the smites yet

hey Preacher or Sno, whats the success rate? say out of 5 runs....

do you die ever? or do you get 5 for 5 runs with no deaths



i realize that with experience.....we will achieve greatness
we are like 3 outa 5 right now



again thanks for the help and all that

Hey Undead! Great Build. But I got a question... I dont know if you answered it befor but in post 19 you talk about another build to solo UW with a 55 Monk. Which one is better? The one on post 19 or post 1?

what weapon is used for this build? and well defence item idk what there called atm

Noob question: Can this build be used to farm griffons?

~Martin

not really I say A solo I-necro thats what I do.

I use

1.Awaken the blood
2.Spiteful spirit
3.Archane echo
4.Parasitic bond
5.Sympathetic visage
6.Desacrate enchants
7.Suffering
8.Res sig

It works really well for UW runs.

Doc's build is indentical to the build I used to run as well, it works great and is easy to use. P. bond is usually my 'spare slot' which I switch around for BR (because to PuG monks, energy management is something that happens to other people), and whatever else I feel like bringing (often using pbond though).

Imo faster recharge mods aren't that great... so your SS recharges faster, so what? 2x SS + 1 desecrate will kill Aatxes, 1x SS kills grasps and smites, 2x SS kills coldfires and usually terrorwebs too. SS takes 20s+ to wear off, you shouldn't need to spamcast it much beyond renewing if it's clear you need another... if your build hinges on the recharge boosts then something is wrong (for N/Me that is, for N/Mo the increased recharge is helpful I suppose).

Quote:

As an SS/SV necro you want to kill the foes as fast as possible, since you cant have you curses pumped to 16 you cant deal as much dmg as a N/Me

Quote:

its actually possible for necro to get his curses to 19. happens with me alot.. if u have a weapon or offhand with Curses +1 and AtB, there ya go....

N/Me ~possible curses 19
Me/N ~ 12 ~ so weak lol

sometimes when doing uw... i will run 55 me/mo and my guildy runs an echo ss me/n. Awaken teh Blood boosts his curses to 14 and he does decent damage. Because I run a me/mo i cast sv on myself, thus freeing up skill slots for him. We usually just roll through all of the aatxes and through the smites, and if we feel like it, we can do some of the quests. Never underestimate mesmers.

ps. we can often do runs faster than 55mo's and ss/sv necs, because i do damage as well =)

its amazing to me how i see someone take a few proffessions, with all its glorious skill shoices and modifiaction possiblities, and mutilate it into a tiny, 8 slot skill bar that MUST match everyone elses skill bar or your considered noob, flamed, and kicked out of parties. sure some builds work better than others, but if you say "dont use that skill it WILL NOT WORK!" they might take your advice on a whim. more likely they wont and have learn for themselves that what they are doing could be better. flaming somones choice of skills is just going to make them defend their build to their dying day(s). politely giving free advice however might lead them to experiment with your suggestions. basicaly when you get that mentality that "my build is the best, it cannot possibly be better" your going to find your gaming life in gw approach a dead end rather fast. the common goal to strive for that tinyest bit of improvment is what keeps people going back to the ol drawing board. when they lose the incentive to improve because they feel they cannot get any better i would assume they lose intrest. i know im just rambling on and on...because im tired (from lack of sleep and of people being so damn stubborn) ive never played in a ss/sv,55 uw duo, but it does appear that the monk is overloaded and the ss is mearly there for extra damage and nrg denial. it also appears that 2-3 skills here are completely interchangable for the ss necro. i am willing to bet that the necro could just as easily do this run with a 6 slot skill bar. for this reason y should anyone care if he usues atb, br or whatever. i would think that after stealing the monks aggro and getting killed 5-10 times would certainly teach him that blood ritual might not be the best idea. so ill leave you with my suggestion for one of the skll slots to releave the monk of his burden.

archane mimmacry or conduliem (or whatever the one that barrows an allys elite) this could be used perhaps to relieve some of the pressure off of the 55 monk. sure the soj wont do hardly any damage, and only last 10 seconds(with 20%enchant?)but it will keep the foes off him giving him more time to concientrate on other things.
