The UW Whirlwind Solo warrior uses high powered AoE attack skill along with mesmer skills to reduce damage and drain energy to allow you to complete a smite run as fast as 9 minutes, being the fastest and most efficient smite run possible.

Equipment
Armor :
 * Full Knight's Insignias.
 * Superior Absorption Rune.
 * Vitae Runes.

Weapons :
 * A Zealous Axe of Enchanting.
 * A Strength Shield with +45hp/-2damage (stance) inscriptions. Arrahhsh's Aegis is ideal.
 * A Longbow/Flatbow for pulling smites will help a lot.

The Chamber

 * Use Sprint to run up and take the Clear the Chamber quest from the lost soul, and run back to a safe position.
 * Pre-cast one of your visages and use Sprint as an IMS to pull the groups of Grasping Darkness to the center shrine.
 * Auto-attack and use your attack skills to build up adrenaline.
 * Once charged, use Bonetti's Defense followed by one of your visages and Physical Resistance.
 * Use Echo followed by Whirlwind Attack. Using one will recharge the other, so you can constantly spam them.
 * Re-apply your visages and Physical Resistance whenever needed.
 * If your health gets low, use Lion's Comfort

The Run

 * Once you have completed the quest, run along the right side to the open gate, being sure to break aggro with the three or four nearby Aatxes.
 * Echo Sprint for a constant IMS on the way to the smites.
 * To see how to get to the smites, see the build E/Me Terra Tank.

The Smites

 * Use the same techniques used above on the Grasping Darkness.
 * If a Smite Crawler casts Shield of Judgment stop using your AoE for about 15 seconds and keep reapplying your Visages.
 * Try to pull as many smites as possible, as you can kill 6 or you can kill 50 in the same amount of time. Watch out for Coldfires as they can kill you.
 * If a Dying Nightmare pops up kill it before it can pull your visages.
