4. Beautiful. Nice video too.--Izoh 12:46, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
5. Nice, love the no enchantment part :) Trevor3443 15:47, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
6. Great build, must be one of the most original i have ever seen. Edwina Elbert 17:52, 14 April 2007 (CDT)
7. Watched the vid and I was amazed...making a Rit just for this now :).--Teh Uber Pwnzer 01:13, 15 April 2007 (CDT)
8. Wow, total pwnage. Even made me make a Rit... But I foresee a nerf on Splinter Weapon... --Friend of Chaos 12:18, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

   Yeah, I bet this will get nerfed very soon, unfortunately.--Teh Uber Pwnzer 16:27, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

   I doubt it, this build isn't THAT popular yet.--Swift Thief 16:35, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

   Sure its not that popular yet, but its much better then all the other UW solo builds, it doesnt rely on enchantments and it gets the job done faster then the rest.--Teh Uber Pwnzer 18:00, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

9. Very effective! 10 times more fun the VwK farmer...--Soulflame 06:56, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Discussion

Best. Build. Ever. I want a rit :( — Skuld 17:45, 31 March 2007 (CDT) Hmm... Are you being serious? --Swift Thief 17:53, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Yeh. — Skuld 17:54, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Ok, I don't have time to finish up writing this build. Can someone try it and finish it up? Thanks. --Swift Thief 17:47, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

is this seriously supposed to stand up to Smite Crawlers? --Honorable Sarah 20:31, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Well it works. --Swift Thief 22:40, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Done a general clean-up. Not quite sure about equipment so replace if neccasary. Added a link to a video. Solus 22:51, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

No point letting it rot in stubs, moving to tested. Solus 22:52, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Thanks mate, I was thinking there would be more that would need to be added. --Swift Thief 23:01, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Considering you are the author, hopefully you can expand on the equipment. All I know is that it works, it's fun, it's effective. I thought it's ready to be favored. Solus 23:02, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

Added the runes used in this build. --Swift Thief 23:07, 31 March 2007 (CDT)

When i first looked at it in the list I was utterly unimpressed but i was bored and figured why not... gave it a go... picked my mood right up after the first pull. Wont go back with my monk or warrior again less im looking for nostalgic feelings...--D2mongoose 02:05, 1 April 2007 (CDT)

Is this doable with a W/Rt? Cuz i don't have a Rit :( --- Arthas 17:14, 1 April 2007

Maybe, just use Max energy armor and test it out, it probaly should work. Solus 11:09, 1 April 2007 (CDT)

It works, but not perfect. Not enough damage to kill the Graspings entirely. Energy management is also a problem. --- Arthas 17:59, 1 April 2007

Well it is what I do, I'll edit the equipment a bit. --Swift Thief 20:59, 1 April 2007 (CDT)

I've been wanting to create a ritualist forever and now here is a great reason to mke itThesavvymage 10:37, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

Lol, i tested the build on iway npc's and it worked gr8 for fast faction. now making a pve ritualist =)Dumazz

Yeah, I tried that as well, and I usually get around 20-30 seconds elapsed. By the way, can someone try this build on vermins? --Swift Thief 16:08, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

nice, I am also making a RT for this purpose... I am actually paying my brother to level it up for me :D (27k to get me to lv 20) muahah!! loks like a sweet build :) Trevor3443 15:46, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

Woot, this is being featured. :D--Swift Thief 10:48, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

Hmmm, Dunno.. It´s to unstable. If at any time you fail in killing all the smites or all the graspings the chance that you die is pretty high. I´ve spent alot of cash on trying it out but I´ll be spending a few more k before I vote..(Soulflame 12:38, 15 April 2007 (CDT))

I´ve decided to vote possitive for this one. After a few more tries and some alterations I felt it very effective. Good Job!(Soulflame 12:07, 15 April 2007 (CDT))

Thanks, for practice, people should farm trolls and minotaurs, or even the IWAY team in Zaishen Challenge, before wasting their money on the Underworld. ;)--Swift Thief 12:48, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

I had a rit at about lvl 8 when this thing came up, got him to 20, through ascendance and into the UW, this is surely the best and most original build in ages. It's damn hard to come up with something this effective when solo farming is dominated by VwK and Terra Tanks, damn good job Swift ;) Edwina Elbert 12:52, 15 April 2007 (CDT)

Why wouldnt it, the VwK warrior is the easyest way to solo farm the UW. The problem with this build is, if you get lag then your dead. While with the warrior your armor makes you survie the lag. Gredinus

Every one can do VwK war, even the lowest form of newb ... plus, it redifines slowness. Edwina Elbert 13:13, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, I tried VwK but it was as slow as anything, especially with the warrior version. Warrior VwK takes like 20+ minutes to clear all the Smite Crawlers. I had some people in my alliance say it took over 30 minutes.--Swift Thief 16:20, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

Would this work on Dead Spirits for Dead Sword farming? Also Swift, Splinter Weapon I think is fairly popular in GvG. Don't know about HA though. I except that Anet will make it last around 10-20 seconds shorter and give it a recharge of 10 seconds. Then will probably make it 1...3...4 attacks with around the same damage.--Friend of Chaos 06:43, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

yes — Skuld 06:48, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

I've seen people do it, but I didn't take my ritualist to Nightfall yet. --Swift Thief 16:20, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Blind Was Mingson

Take from tactics to make ten in in restoration+minor rune (lowest level to get 7 second blind). Start out chain same way, but make the first Cruel drop by activating Blind, then drop immediately by activating cruel again. Then ancestor's. Then Cyclone. oh Snap. Opinions? Only problem i see is you gotta be FAST, mobs will run with that extra second.Dark0805 09:37, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

I'm being unclear. It means you can take out Gladz and shield. Eliteless ownage anyone?Dark0805 09:38, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

It seems like a viable idea, but I haven't used this build in awhile cause I haven't been on much and America hardly gets favor anyways. --Swift Thief 16:18, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

when was having no elite a good thing? moar damage with glads. Ni. 16:26, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

Don't know, it might be a good idea to try. --Swift Thief 18:43, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

Ni, when was draggin a ritualist through the desert a good thing?Dark0805 10:09, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

Getting to Dragon's Lair isn't really that hard.--Swift Thief 16:06, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

No, im saying whats the point if it does it better WITH an elite than without? Ni. 16:07, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

If it still workds without an elite, that's a plus. Solus 16:12, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

Yah, exactly. Imagine the appeal of a build where every skill is (i think) in kaineng? How awesome is that. Someone please test so it can be added to variants.Dark0805 18:29, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

Hard mode anyone? --Friend of Chaos 06:55, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

The dam loot update. Pretty much made all solo farming builds useless. Swift Thief 07:28, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Elite skill

I wanna try this out after i got Gladiators defense, too bad you have to go that far in proph to get it. Is there any other way to cap this skill or somehow get faster to dragons lair??, not that i expect to.

Elite Tome. 138.217.165.69 08:28, 22 April 2007 (CDT)

Yup, but you have to unlock Gladiators' Defense with balthazar factions first.--Swift Thief 08:42, 22 April 2007 (CDT)

[edit] New Farming/Loot Nerf

It pretty much rendered all solo farming builds useless. You get 1/8 of the drops you previously got. It's not worth it now. The builds still work, but the profits have dropped dramatically. In fact, the drops you get in this UW run won't probably even be worth the 1K. Swift Thief 18:04, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

Tried this in hard mode, sorry to say it cant do much ... it's a real shame some builds are now good to throw in the recicling bin ... gah, long day *goes to bed* Edwina Elbert 18:29, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

Yay, today's update unnerfed it! --Swift Thief 22:58, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
