This build has been archived in userspace, at User:Corrosion20/D Me Solo FoW, because of the impending builds wipe. Editing this article is likely a waste of time.

This build is similar to the W/Me variant of the FOW Solo Farmer, but can kill faster and heal easier than the Build:W/any Fissure Spider Farmer.

Usage

Start

Cast in this order: Avatar of Balthazar, Mystic Regeneration, Vital Boon, Mystic Vigor when you spawn in the FOW.It is very important to cast enchantments in given order!
Run to the right, through the mobs, and circle around the large rocky outcrop where you can stop to let the patrols pass you.Use Mystic Regeneration to heal yourself.
When you meet the Snarling Driftwood, take them down quickly followed by the Doubter's Dryder that stands behind them. This must be done quickly because of the two shadow patrols that come past that point.

Killing

Important: Always keep away from the Ancient Skale!

While fighting the Snarling Driftwood, keep up Physical Resistance, Vital Boon, Mystic Vigor and Avatar of Balthazar whenever possible. Position yourself so that your scythe hits all 3 at the same time. Then when your health is low, cast Mystic Regeneration to keep your health up. Because of the three enchantments on you, your health stays high. And even when your health drops (which it shouldn't anyway), the enchantments on you provide enough healing power to stay alive. Keep on spamming the attack skills and when their health is at 1/3 you will also gain health from Victorious Sweep. The mobs should die quickly and easily.

The Doubter's Dryders are killed in a different way. First of all do not cast any enchantments on yourself because they will use Shatter Enchantment and Drain Enchantment which deal quite a lot of damage. Just lure them to a safe spot away from the Ancient Skale and attack them with your two attack skills. They should die quickly without any problems. Use Mystic Vigor, Mystic Regeneration and/or Vital Boon when your health drops below 250.

The Armored Cave Spiders are also very easy to kill. First kill the three Doubter's Dryders that stand in front of the cave. Then make the Armored Cave Spiders spawn and wait for them to spread out in front of the cave. Cast Vital Boon, Mystic Regeneration, Mystic Vigor and Physical Resistance before you proceed. Then lure one of them and pull him away from all the others, causing a group of 3 spiders to follow you. Wait until the three Armored Cave Spiders are together and pull them back further. Then just keep your enchantments up and Mystic Regeneration will provide you with enough healing power to stay alive and counter the poison. Spam your attack skills and they will die within 20-40 seconds.

Details

For a more detailed version on how to approach the mobs in FOW read the Build:W/any Fissure Spider Farmer article, which describes how to attack and position yourself as you are farming in FOW.

Counters

Watch out for the Ancient Skale. You are almost certain to die if you don't rush through them, so always sprint away from them.

Notes

The Fissure of Woe is a very tricky place to go solo, so be careful with what you lure and where you stand, always keep an eye on the radar, and make sure to keep your enchantments on!
Sometimes spawn points will disallow you to wall hug the spiders
(note from user) Hard mode solo is impossible with this built.
