Heres the problem I see (w/o trying ofc)
It would take a while (like 10ish casts to kill a smite) so to make it worthwhile you'd need to gather em all up as best as possible. Unless you aggro the coldfires as well, have to do em separate, coldfires will damage the smites and make em heal themselves and I'm not sure how SF interacts with something like maelstrom if it's cast next to you but they do have PBAoE frozen burst which does break SF (right?).

So from what I know about smite runs you clear the smites with at best in 4-5 groups (2 on the right side, 2-3 on the left?) 10 casts of a 12 recharge skill 4 times? might be a bit to long, likely better to share runs with a VwK?

Don't they just kill you nearly instantly with zealots? I tried there with shadowfrom a while back but got owned really fast.

Can sins perma Obsi flash? Just the way someone said run obsi flesh as far as i see you can only reduce recharge by 25% as a sin without cons

I think you must be joking, please.

Hrmmm... Well, the nerf was some kind of stupid, because Chaosplains didn't get nerfed that much. No, what got nerfed is farming Elite Tomes. So do anyone got an idea how to farm Elite Monk Tomes now?

Would You mind posting Your raptor build?What about The Broodmother?

N/x or x/N, 55 health, Spoil Victor, Price of Failure, Necrosis and a speed boost, energy management is optional.

Now go kill Byzzr Wingmender, or whats his face outside of Lutgardis in Melandru's Hope.

I do it on my mes and my ele, runs take under a minute each.

Just a quick question:
So you dont kill Cursed Dream Riders because those little Mindflay Specters will own you with their signet or I'm missing something?

---------------------
Deadly Paradox
Glyph of Swiftness
Shadow Form {E}
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Ebon Battle Standard of Honor {Ebon Vanguard Skill}
Sliver Armor
Radiation Field {Asura Skill} (or Viper's Defense if you find you are having energy problems with Radiation Field)
Shadow Refuge
---------------------
Shadow Arts 12+1+3
Deadly Arts 3 (Can use a minor Deadly Arts rune or an Attunement rune)
Earth Magic 12
---------------------
I find that Viper's Defense causes more scatter so I use Radiation Field, once i'm down to around 6-8 raptors for a quicker finish. The Broodmother I will keep on target as I aggro the entire cave and then head straight for her. She is easy to target with Sliver Armor 9 out of 10 times and goes down easy without using Radiation field on her.

when I tried it (w/o radiation field, this was the time I found they had mend condition) I was able to survive the first zealots by using shadow refuge, They all casted SoJ and got me with zeal but I was able to survive that. My plan was to degen em and see how the AI handed degens when equipped with reversal of fortune. Unfortunately they handed the burning with mend condition, but if they had nothing to mend and no reason to cast RoF because of radiation then the zeal spam would only come from the inital SoJ casts and then the Divine Intervention which they cast in reaction to a total HP, but the degen just ignores DI. But ya, if they have a reason to cast RoF it's just about an instant death
