Forum Link Code:[url=]E-Me Burning Aatxes[/url]
This build was designed to be the support character to a 55 monk
in the Underworld when a decent SS necro was unavailable. It has
been used to farm aaxtes and smites and has also proven capable of
dealing with Coldfire Nights. It provides a means of keeping
burning on a creature continuously and also provides echo nuking
capability.
Attributes and Skills
Possible Optional Skills:
- Breath of Fire or other AoE for increased damage output - has
to be used as a finishing skill to avoid scattering of mobs. Useful
for clearing behemoths.
- Adjacent AoE, for example Bed of Coals - useful in case you get
attacked and you need to break aggro.
Equipment
- Weapons - None specific, although any that have a chance of
increasing fire magic level, or fast casting or fast recharging
would be preferable.
Usage
The build has been used in the UW to support a 55 monk and the
following strategies were used for the different creatures located
there.
- Bladed Aaxtes - Monk aggro's normally, taking care to make sure
the aatxes are in a tight group. Keep fire attunement up, then Use
Mark of Rodgort on a middle Aatxe, followed by echo, and then spam
Lava arrows and the echod version of it. The first group of aaxtes
should die just after Echo ends. If more than 3 in a group,
fireball can be used for this instead of lava arrows.
- Grasping Darkness - Monk aggro's normally, Ancestors Visage is
used as creatures approach. Echo, Meteor Shower, Mark of Rodgort,
Meteor Shower, Fireball, and if any survive mop up with lava
arrows, and they should all be dead.
- Smite Crawlers - As per Grasping Darkness tactic, although
these are sometimes a little more tricky and may require extra Lava
Arrows casts at the end of the sequence.
- Coldfire Nights - Similar tactic to Graspers/Smites, although
extra care needs to be taken to group the coldfires. Also these
represent a true threat to the character as they occasionally will
attack you instead of your monk.
- Terrorweb Driders - As per Coldfire Nights
Counters
Direct Damage from ranged attacks, and Maelstrom from
Coldfires.
