ohaider

i have both a monk and a permasin. I never did this run but its the only thing they run in ToA so i wna do it too:p it looks pretty complicated to do all this... what would you recommend 2 play for me? ^Close _Impact Too Muh Bruh 06:28, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

is not ursans, it's a permasin with a DB dagger chain and 2 necros, FoC and SS. 65.35.75.168 16:34, 5 October 2008 (EDT)

Current meta = http://gwshack.us/59a4 Ashes 05:48, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

yh so this needs updating

That Twin Tom 14:18, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Updated the page to the current meta. --Dasen 09:12, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

shoudlnt have been updated should have been archived i reckon

That Twin Tom 10:21, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

neway ur necros were bit outdated u definately dont need two. N/Rt is better and allows for an extra terra but left in two necro version cause well sumpeople use it

That Twin Tom 11:39, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

N/Rt is slower than SS+FoC and if you need a 7th Terra, your group kinda yells "Hai wur baed". Also; most people use SS+FoC, for reasons already said, thus I vote for the N/Rt being the variant... --› Srs Beans R Srs 12:25, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

seriously? SS+FoC is faster for Vale but wit an extra terra the other areas get done much faster and youve got an extra person as backup. the terra areas always take longer so better that they get sped but rather than the vale which is the quikest area

That Twin Tom 13:15, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Most groups now take n/rt instead of ss+foc because as stated above overall it's quicker. SS+FoC should be put as varients 92.4.72.103 20:04, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

itis

That Twin Tom 16:49, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Still possible

Use a Grail of Might and Glyph of Swiftness instead of an Essence of Celerity. Its a bit slower but still works. SniperFox 07:28, 9 November 2008 (EST)

And replace what on certain bars? Ok the wastes and pits will be fine doing that but they will still lose the IMS from essence and the pools+mtn don't have any rooms on their bars (from what i play). So what do you suggest Sniper? Farmingftw 08:52, 9 November 2008 (EST)

You can still use candy or use a sin. I say unarchived. Mason717 19:52, 13 November 2008 (EST)

I agree, there are still many groups looking for UWSC, I say un-archive but put the E/As as A/Es, because that is what most people are running. Puebert 12:41, 7 December 2008 (EST)

for vale necro

why not use superier runes? health really doesnt matter for the build?

Un-archived

The fact that the build still works and is one of the most effective ways of clearing by simply switching the E/As to A/Es permits the build to be unarchived. I have the updated builds for the vale team and the perma's on a different computer and I will post them ASAP. If you have them feel free to edit as you wish. The current meta uses 6 sins who terra diff areas and 1 sin + 1 N/Rt for the vale team. Happy hunting. M a g ne t o x

Pools Build

Being an Ex-perma, your pools build disgusts me :) Add IaU over WoS Ele Masmar 00:31, 26 December 2008 (EST)

Pits

Death's charge needs to be mainbar on both the pits builds. Also, an A/Me is THE fastest way to clear pits, and should be on here. Life 17:30, 26 December 2008 (EST)

Necro builds

I've always wondered, Signet of Corruption, why its there. Since most of the time you'll only have one enemy hexed, you wont get more than 2 energy off this. Unless theres a hidden purpose I don't see... Signet of the lost souls is surely better energy menagement here, imho Asmo 21:19, 27 December 2008 (EST)

I've just read the article, and I was wondering about that too.--El Nazgir 05:12, 29 December 2008 (EST)

when the souls illusion of haste ends (chillblains) they get crippled.

Chamber sin thing

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].

Are you kidding me? Also -- me/a dont work no more, e/a is fail, a/me for pits is win, death charge is needed for pits. necros are fail. a/d vale and monk is win. 98.231.141.167 01:49, 28 December 2008 (EST) Yup i dunno why everyone is so straightforward to use only necros with the A/N in vale...--Dealey 14:46, 1 January 2009 (EST) you can use cry of pain when clearing the chamber, you just have to pull right and they wont loose agro.

Wrong. In Chamber, they ALWAYS scatter. That's why you have terras bodyblock for you. The only time you use special pulling is when you draw the Labyrinth monsters up against the wall. --ShazamTheSnake

_{hissssssssssss} 19:11, 2 January 2009 (EST)

Chamber sin is fine as is, and CoP is used throughout the run, just ball up the foes next to a wall (on your right) and they cannot scatter. Spirit of Failure is a must have if you are new to this run but generally Channeling does fine. Also note that A/D and M/N are so much faster at Vale now, should add the builds as variants. 209.212.105.164 01:42, 9 January 2009 (EST)

agreed, I'm quite [exp] Chamber and all you do is just hug the right wall, and then do the wall trick, then start killing the Terrorweb Dryders using the ether nightmare -> CoP combo. keep spamming Spirit of Failure on multiple Aatxes / Grasping and you will be fine. ALL you need to remember is to never use Viper's Defence while keeping aggro since they will scatter because they couldn't before because of the wall trick. I've seen multiple Chambers fail because of lack of wall trick. ffs, it's even in the tutorial vids. 80.126.47.201 10:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

If you have any changes to make then MAKE THEM. It's a wiki for gods sake. 99.243.64.81 23:45, 29 December 2008 (EST)

Chamber Sin Incorrect..?

So i was using this exact build on my first attempt at a speed clear, i ran up and aggroed like i was suppost to, but i got surrounded (body blocked) but i was like, well it wont be TOO bad it'll just be a little slower without my teams help...so i get the aggro all around me and everyone in my team starts saying:

OMG NOOB
WTF FAIL HAX
ZOMG -quit-
Why don't you have death's charge or vipers defense?!?!

the only important one of those is the last one. Is this build SUPPOST to have that in, making the wiki wrong, or was my team just full of noobs and it was a bad first experience with the build? and if it is suppost to be in, what am i suppost to take out? i've heard Spirit of Failure, but i find spirit of failure really helps me... any thing helpful helps (duh :P) DeathByAnArrow 13:33, 1 January 2009 (EST)

Advice

I've swapped Death's Charge to Viper's Defense in the Chamber Sin build for 2 reasons. 1.Faster Recharge 2.You actually dont need self heal ;p BTW. After the nerf (ele can't do it with SF), I have to say that ~85% of UW SC PuGs are failers. Tried to finish SC for 2 days and all teams I've been in, had leavers etc. Many ppl made Sins only cos of Perma SF and most of them, can't play well as sin/perma ;/ Advice: make sure you're playing with g-m8s or with ppl u know, otherwise, u can just waste your cash/time/patient. BUT, this is just MY Imo... anyway, have fun Kamis

i find about 1 in 3 succeeds, and luckily you can tell straight off the bat if someone know what they're doing. but yeah, guildies are always best. pugs usually fail in pve anyway

19:09, 2 January 2009

Updated

All the builds were now changed to the ones I was given on GW by a farming guild. I hope you guys like them! Magnetox | talk | contribs | 00:23, 3 January 2009 (EST)

IMO, changing of Chamber/Vale sin is stupid -.-. Why did u remove Spirit of Failure?? That skill is the best energy-boost skill for chamber. Also, Death's Charge = Like I wrote yesterday. Vale perma - WTF?! Illusionary Weaponry will hit through SA AND without Chilblains, you will not remove any enches from Souls. ALSO, you didn't even changed it properly. 12 in Shadows? I'd like to see how u can maintain SF Perma with 12pts. Stupid changes. Rolling back Chamber and Vale builds. If you guys agree with me, pls change the builds for terras/edit their att pts correctly. Kamis 08:05, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Good changes (am I actually saying this to pvx guy at last?! O_O) but I like to arcane echo cop on lab sin. --Anonimous. 08:10, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Yeah tbh most of those changes were wrong

08:20, 3 January 2009

Done, rolled back Chmaber/Vale sin. Arcane Echo = some1 else made this change but it's good anyway ;) Btw. Pls, dont mess up all the builds if you don't even know how to edit them properly.--Kamis 08:23, 3 January 2009 (EST)

I did that, echo CoP is far better than rad field. trust me, i do it a ton :P

08:24, 3 January 2009

Good ;p Done it many times to and I just prefer Radiation ;) Kamis 08:28, 3 January 2009 (EST)

TBH I agree with most of the things you guys have said.. I just put up the builds that a farming guild told me. But theres one thing I disagree with.. Get rid of viper's defense for Radiation field. Degen + disease is better than poison IMO, the only use I would see for Viper's defense would be if you get bodyblocked by vengefuls, but even then it wouldn't really help considering how big/many would be on you. What do you think? I also changed the main page to directly link to this page.Magnetox | talk | contribs | 15:15, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Mainbar Radiation Field and put Viper's as optional. Good players almost always use RF, but Viper's is commonly run on players who are still learning and encounter frequent bodyblock problems. There's no denying that it's a major aid. --ShazamTheSnake

_{hissssssssssss} 16:08, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Agree, Radiation Field IS a good skill, BUT if I would get B-Blocked, I wouldn't feel comfortable if I would have to ask for help cos i got B-Blocked by V-Aatxes... My best time as the Chamber was ~13mins. MOST of the UW SC team players can't even finish their work in less than 15mins, so, you actually don't need to be faster than that. Hope you will get my point ;) Kamis 18:50, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Arcane Echo

Wandering eye is much better than echo CoP and heres why. Lets do a 60 second basis. Over 60 seconds, Wandering eye would deal 456 damage to Adjacent targets, and CoP would deal 324 because of the 20 second downtime. Although CoP is in the area, if you are a good perma you should have no problem with adjacent hits. Your thoughts? Magnetox | talk | contribs | 14:11, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Plus is uses less energies Magnetox | talk | contribs | 16:28, 4 January 2009 (EST)

U forgot to mention that(btw. essence of celerity=20% HCS/HSR) CoP = 1/4 Activation Time and Wandering Eye = 2sec. CoP recharge - 12sec, Wandering Eye = 10sec + u have to put some pts to Illusion Magic and that means = u have less points to spend on inspiriation magic. So, if u are r9-10 ss, take CoP for bigger dmg, but if u are r6 or less, take Wandering. BUT making 2 slots empty, was a good idea. Player can choose what does he prefer. That's my imo. Oh and - CoP>WE cos of dmg if u are r9-10 ;) --Kamis 04:50, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Well with r10 ss you only deal 100 per making it 400 every 60 seconds (not counting the 20% increase because it applies to both skills -> cancels itself out) 99.243.64.81 19:07, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Unless i just dont know my facts (which is most likely, if i'm wrong PLEASE correct me :D) but isnt your statement forgetting the whole Echo CoP thing, making CoP 648dmg to Wandering Eye's 456? and as a side note, why note Echo Wandering Eye? if it does actually do more damage than CoP would, wouldn't echoing it be more useful? If attribute points can be re-allocated correctly that could be much more efficiant. DeathByAnArrow 21:22, 5 January 2009 (EST)

He's right. Arcane echo CoP is better if you have the energy, does much more damage r6+. Otherwise, just echo wandering eye. Magnetox | talk | contribs | 23:03, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Thx guys ;p Remember that Wandering Eye has 2secs casting time. TC --Kamis 10:52, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Another pits Sin :O

I recently saw someone running A/Mo for the pits assassin, they were running the following build: <pvxbig> [build prof=A/Mo Shadow=12+1+3 Smiting=12 deadly=3][Deadly Paradox][Shadow Form][Death's Ch][Kirin's Wrath][Symbol of Wra][Radiation Field][Castigation Signet]["I Am Unstoppable!"][/build] </pvxbig> It worked fine for him, since most/all foes in the pits are undead.

A/E Vale Sin

Recently, I've been seeing a few Vale sins with Stoneflesh Aura and the Sliver combo. It seems to be a lot safer than Chilblains (From what I've seen, it negates ALL of IW's damage), less stressful on energy, no reduction in speed, and lets you use the Sliver combo which is faster than using daggers for killing other stuff. It also means you could help out the rest of the team if need be. It also allows the Necro to bring other skills, or even be swapped out altogether (I've been seeing a Mo/Rt variant that works well with RoJ, Patient Spirit, Spirit Rift, Rebirth, and four other skills I couldn't catch.) So, is it because not many people know about it that people don't use that variant? Is it because the A/N variant is mainbarred on here? Or is there something else I'm missing? Sora267 00:10, 28 January 2009 (EST)

You are correct Sora. The reason no one uses anything else is because only the a/n is here. However, vale is the only area this applies to. In the other areas, the builds that should be run are listed, and most variants suck. The A/E vale works very well. The only problem is that spirits get gangraped because of lack of chibs. Life

00:45, 28 January 2009 (EST)

With a fast Necro or Monk the spirits will never get gangraped, as they will die really quickly. I find A/E + N/Rt works the best (the necro not using chilblains but more damage instead), and A/N + Mo/Me. My best time including escort was 12 minutes running A/N with a Mo/Me. I've never ran with a Mo/Rt so I wouldn't know how they would do, but I would imagine arcane echo + roj is more powerful than spirit rifting.

Plains

Why Feigned Neutrality over deaths charge? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 10:32, 28 January 2009 (EST)

Plains is a utility position. Since it doesn't really need much to be successful, it's best to make it a back-up for mnts. Basically, if mnts(or any area really) fails, plains has the perfect build to make up for it. Life

00:31, 29 January 2009 (EST)

I was gonna do plains cause it was simple, but I need to be capable of doing other ppls jobs too. /Sigh. Well, atleast they can guide me if the fail... Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 07:30, 29 January 2009 (EST)

it's not necessary to back other areas up, but it is recommended for a higher success rate. Life

What rank of Deldrimor, Ebon Vanguard and Norn title tracks is minimal? Or are you supposed to be one of those no-liver's with all R10? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:34, 29 January 2009 (EST)

i have r2 ebon (havent farmed on bit for it, just did enough to get EBSoH), r1 Norn, and r1 delver (I don't even use BUH! tho, i use intensity because i cba to get BUH, and i'm SS r2), and i do fine :) it's just a tiny bit slow is all. --

18:50, 29 January 2009

That will be fine. and no, you're not better than me, yet :P Scythe should have +20 enchants. you don't really need the daggers, and your staff will be fine. --

05:28, 30 January 2009

What's up with the shields with the + extra armor? Like my sin hasn't got enough stuff yet... Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 15:24, 30 January 2009 (EST)

Shields are for the different things that can go through SF. For example, shock is lightning damage, zealot's fire is fire damage, and barbed trap is piercing damage. Life

20:34, 30 January 2009 (EST)

Ok, I understand that. But than you should add +10 vs piercing on anything that might make contact with the traps. I also think you should note that a + 20 energy staff is really usefull, as well as a load of shields, and weapon like a totem axe, to go along with those shields. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 05:27, 31 January 2009 (EST)

The mountains needs updating. It says use deaths charge to jump to a terror web, but the build features no deaths charge but Feigned Neutrality. I have no experience in the mountains, so I am not really the right person to do it. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 13:47, 1 February 2009 (EST)

Two quick things

I would've fixed this myself but there doesn't seem to be an edit function. Somebody switched Escort of Souls and Restoring Grenth's Monuments in the RoJ use section. Obviously if somebody takes Escort right after the reaper pops... well, yeah. Second thing, it might be worth mentioning that Mantra Resolve can be used to kill the Mindblades if your vale partner is so inclined. They do drop ecto, after all. -Anon- 75.189.132.253 00:40, 16 February 2009 (EST)

Sorry I'm new here, and I don't know how to make my own question title, so please bear with me :P. When I run the plains I can easily clear it, and pretty fast if I do say so myself. I have lately been having problems with the four horseman quest.. It seems that now when I fight them they use signet of humility on me and my shadow form is disabled, which results in my death. Could anyone tell me what could be causing this, and possibly how to fix it? 24.215.38.203 22:36, 18 February 2009 (EST) Qarl D (my ign)

The easiest way to avoid this is to precast Deadly Paradox slightly before SF recharges, and then cast SF as soon as it is recharged. Don't try to squeeze in glyph, or sliver when SF is almost recharged, or your SF will be hit by SoH. Life

23:13, 18 February 2009 (EST)

Tierd of Noob RoJS!

Im tired of all noob RoJs who make me pay cons.. How hard can it be? heres 1 that is Really good:)aataxe in 25s... grasps and coldfire in the first 2 RoJs

Usage

Take the standard build. change AoS for mindbender. at aataxe Cast mindbender- Auspicious Incantation- arcane echo- RoJ- fast cast "by urals hammer" before Roj has begun dealing Damage- RoJ2. Then wait cast mindbender agen RoJ- RoJ2. At grasping and coldfires do as Before: Cast mindbender- Auspicious Incantation- arcane echo- RoJ- fast cast "by urals hammer" before Roj has begun dealing Damage- RoJ2. They shuld die in 1 go

There you go.. aataxes in like 25 sec and not in a minute like some RoJs:P

heres code OwUUMum6YIRrliOLB+MpiriNgyEA

Counters

lack of energy while doing wratful. Do like this use Auspicious Incantation then The echoed RoJ befor The normal RoJ and a crappy Valesin:)
