You can find this build's history here.
This build is close to the FoW solo build for dervish which I have replaced 2 skills, to make it possible to farm UW. This build is meant to solo the Grasping Darknesses and Smite Crawlers in the Underworld. The build is similar to the [Build:D/Me Dervish Solo FoW Farmer|Solo FoW farming] build for the Dervish.

Equipment[ | ]
- Max armor with Windwalker Insigias, preferably, but whatever you see fit will work.
- A Rune of Minor Scythe Mastery, Rune of Superior Mysticism, and a Mysticism headpiece.
- A scythe with +15% while Enchanted and a perfect of Enchanting modifier (The Soulbreaker works fine) and a Zealous scythe such as the Eyes of the Forgotten.
Usage[ | ]
Grasping Darknesses[ | ]
- Upon entry, take the quest from the Lost Soul to get the Grasping Darknesses to spawn.
- Quickly lure the Darknesses towards the cliff, using Pious Haste, only one group at a time.
- When lured, use Physical Resistance to cancel out Pious Haste.
- Use Zealous Vow before the Darknesses reach you.
- Begin attacking them using your attack skills.
- When one group is dead, move on to the next group, rinse, and repeat.
Smite Crawlers[ | ]
- Use Pious Haste and run to the Smite Crawlers.
- When you reach them, cancel Pious Haste with Physical Resistance.
- Cast Zealous Vow AFTER canceling Pious Haste.
- Next, cast Mystic Vigor, Rending Aura, and Mystic Regeneration in that order.
- Begin attacking the Smite Crawlers.
- Continue the trip, attacking the Smite Crawlers on your way, until they're all done. Then, repeat the run.
Notes[ | ]
- It is imperative that you use Pious Haste when pulling the Grasping Darkness. Regardless if you get the Aaxatcs in your aggro bubble or not they will follow you until you use Pious Haste and exit their aggro range.
Counters[ | ]
The daze and interrupt from the Grasping Darknesses could be an uisance.

Sorry about the low resolution and no sound, but otherwise, it would have been more than 100 MB.
