Monk Smiting Wand (kills nightmares in 1 hit)

[johigos]

I've heard of people soling UW with a wand that kills nightmares in one hit. What wand is it? Where can i get it? I have the Green Wroths Holy Wand and it takes roughly 2.

Have you customised the wand (+20% damage could be a large amount of hit points on a monster that is lower level (and takes extra damage from holy?))

I take leech signet to interrupt them, then wand them. It takes 1-2 hits, but doesn't matter much, as they're interrupted.

Way less risky.

[johigos]

yea it's customized.

Nightmares are weak to fire damage, I kill them in 1-2 Hits with a Monk wand that deals fire damage any ways. When I duo with a necro I kill in 1 hit 2/5 nightmares a run.

I would have thought a likely candidate would be something that does holy damage - the smiting wayward wand or the stormray.

i found one that does fire dmg, however it req 9 divine favor, and i can only afford 4.

For 1-man, I would use Wroth's Holy Rod. For 2-man, The Stormray.

Either way, it isn't a guaranteed kill, but if you react quick enough you can get two hits.

I think they are, cause I use to solo UW as monk and use Zealots fire to kill them, it did like 105 damage to them (Zealots does 35, but deals 105 to nightmares...maybe a weakness).

Try different wands, Holy Damage, Fire Damage, Light Damage ect...

1 to 2 is right with wand/rod or sword.

I use a customized +15 over 50% sword when I'm in a 2 man group and I'll get a "critical" one shot kill for 92 points about every 3rd or 4th dm I kill. Its a little less with the rod or wand.

The key is to have it customized. The extra 20% is very helpful.
