The PvXwiki community finds this to be an excellent build.

If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page.

This build has been designed for the following use:

This build is for Hard Mode Underworld runs. Advanced teams that do this run often can complete it in less than 25 minutes. The Vale team consists of the Perma Sin tank and the 2 necros (SS and FoC), who work together to accomplish Vengeful Souls. The 3 Terra Tanks split up to handle Servants of Grenth in the Icy Wastes (smites), The Terrorweb Queen in the Spawning Pool, and Imprisoned Spirits in The Bone Pits. An Assassin/Dervish running Holy Scytheway can be substituted in the Bone Pits. Any of the Terra Tanks then handle clearing parts of the Chaos Plains to prepare to do The Four Horsemen quest on a basis of availability. The Permaform E/A builds are generally preferred, but the setup using E/Me in variants can be used with minor changes and is only 5 - 10 minutes slower. The Perma Shadowform runner is either A/Me or Me/A, and handles Clearing the Chamber and Unwanted Guests in the Labyrinth (where the team starts).

The Assassin Terras should all carry Zealous Scythes with 20% enchant and +5 energy incase one ever gets low on energy. Make sure to sweep where there is lots of enemies.

The core of this team relies on the use of consets, make sure that at least 2 people in the team have them.

Chamber Sin/Mesmer

<pvxbig> [build prof=A/Me name="A/Me UW Speedway Permasin" ins=12 cri=3 sha=12+3+1][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form][Channeling][Spirit of Failure][Ether Nightmare (Kurzick)][Arcane Echo][Cry of Pain][Radiation Field][/build] </pvxbig>

A detailed video of the chamber sin's job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwlyOUZa444

Equipment

  • Radiant.
  • Attunement.
  • Necessary runes.
  • Weapon with +20% enchantment duration.

Usage

  • Maintain Shadow Form.
  • Use AoE hex degen and health degen to clear chamber and complete quests.
  • NOTE: Do NOT use [Cry of Pain] when clearing the chamber. This is a rookie mistake; CoP causes scatter and therefore completely mucks up your entire aggro focus; use degen to kill them. This is why the most popular variant seems to be [Radiation Field].
  • Complete Clearing the Chamber quest.
  • Complete Unwanted Guests quest.

Optional Skills

  • Radiation Field; adds additional degen over time to counteract healing.
  • Viper's Defense; adds additional degen over time to counteract healing.
  • Wandering Eye; requires points to be allocated to Illusion Magic, for additional damage.

Counters

  • Failing to maintain Shadow Form.
  • Casting AoE Hexes on Mindblade Specters.
  • Standing near Ursans or Monk while they are being targeted with AoE spells.

Vale Perma

<pvxbig> [build prof=A/N name="Vale Perma" pve cur=6 dag=10+1 dead=3+1 sha=10+3+1 cri=9+1][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form][Golden Lotus Strike][Lotus Strike][Death Blossom][Chilblains][Shadow Refuge][Death's Charge][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

  • Max Armor with Survivors Insignias.
  • Daggers with +20% enchantment duration

Usage

  • Wait for the Chamber sin to clear Chamber, then walk around to the T-split leading to the Wastes.
  • Kill the Aatxes and turn towards the Labyrinth. The Chamber should have the way cleared for you now.
  • Move on towards the Vale, killing 1 or 2 groups of Aatxes on the way.
  • Round up every Grasping Darkness in the Vale, tank them in the corner behind the house in the center. Make sure you don't forget the Grasps at the Statue.
  • After all the Grasps are dead, move on to the statue; round up all the patrols circling near the Statue that hinder the way for Wrathful Spirits.
  • Ball those patrols at the jagged rock near the statue, and stand in Nearby range approximatly.
  • Let your SF end after these patrols have died and the Reaper is spawned. The reason behind this is that Illusionary Weaponry ignores Shadow Form.
  • When aggroing a group of spirits, the Vale sin is always the first to use Chilblains. Use your attack skills as you see fit.
  • Once you've completed Wrathful Spirits, move back to the Labyrinth, and wait just behind the bridge. Commence maintaining Shadow Form.
  • Tell the necros to take the quest when you're ready to aggro the ~15 Mindblades.
  • Ball all of the Mindblades on a pillar on the far end of the large hallway, around the middle. Do not attack the Mindblades!
  • Tell the necros to start escorting the souls.
  • Once the necros are past the second flight of stairs, you can start attacking the Mindblade Spectres.
  • After the Mindblades are dead, feel free to wander around killing some more beasts here and there; you're done.
