I love going to the UW as either a 55 or SS. I started going as a 55 until I got irritated with necs who couldn't kill smites...so I created one and can kill a group of 3 smites just as fast as a group of 10 (about 12-15 seconds starting from the first Visage cast). If on and not PVPing or helping a Guild Member, I will be more than happy to go with you as either role.

Builds I Use for Duo UW
Top of Page


 * [build prof=Monk/Mesmer Prot=11+1+3 Div=11+3 Heal=5+3 Inspiration=7][protective spirit][shielding hands][healing breeze][spell breaker][mantra of resolve][blessed aura][mending][balthazar's spirit][/build]

I'm beginning to like this build even more than my mystic regen build simply because of MoR. I never have to worry about interrupts and I can wait to cast SB until a Dying Nightmare (DN) pops and thus have more time to group in the multi DN areas. It is IMPORTANT to cast Shielding Hands (SH) AFTER Protective Spirit (PS) ALWAYS. If not, SH will reduce damage BEFORE PS reduces the damage to 10%. If you're bleeding, this can be quite detrimental. As for recasts, if PS won't last another duration of SH, simply recast PS followed by SH.


 * [build prof=necro/mesme curses=12+3+1 soulre=9+1 illusi=9][arcane echo][spiteful spirit][reckless haste][sympathetic visage][ancestors visage][blood ritual][signet of lost souls][sunspear rebirth signet][/build]

''Note: Signet of lost souls is taken simply to eliminate any downtime ever. No additional damage skills are needed since, if done properly, this quickly kills everything - even coldfires (dead before the monk's sb runs out)''

How to Kill Smites
Top of Page

9 times out of 10, the SS I'm with is a royal pain in the ass by being slow at killing smites (5 minutes to kill??...give me a break!). So...not that this will get seen, but this is my effort to remedy the situation.


 * Process to kill smites (group >= 3)
 * Cast a Visage on the monk
 * Immediately followed by casting Arcane Echo (go ahead and hit 'C' to target a foe)
 * Once the recharge on the first Visage is at the 3 o'clock position, cast SS
 * Immediately followed by another Visage on the Monk. As you're casting the Visage, hit 'C' then tab.  This will target a new, non-hexed foe.
 * Immediately followed by the second SS on the new foe.

Even without using reckless haste, the smites will be dead a second after the last visage runs out. If you try this and it doesn't work, just know that it DOES work (sometimes knowing that something works is all that is required to be able to make it work), you're getting the timing wrong. If they smite the first SS, that means you cast it too early BE PATIENT. If they're still alive after the skills wear off, then you're casting too late DON'T BE SO PATIENT ;-).

Just Bought a Motorcycle...

Mainly to save on gas but damn it's fun! Since I'm trying to conserve on fuel, I didn't look at anything above a 750. Ended up buying a 1982 Yamaha XJ750R from a guy about 3 blocks from my house. Damn thing has 81 HP, only weighs 491 lbs,and has a top speed of 130. When it hasn't been storming, I've been out every night ;-).  I'm saving up again to buy a bigger bike...can't wait  ;-)
