There are a lot of places where you can just 600/smite while killing stuff. The Vabbi area in Nightfall is easy-ish (outside Kodash Bazaar). The main thing is to avoid foes that strip enchanments, also, some healers are hard to deal with unless you bring something like [Diversion].
Even CoF wouldn't be all that bad to start out with. In CoF, the main tricky part (for me) was the just after the first big room. There are some mobs there that run up the hill into the room, (and you can get stuck respawning in the midst of mobs if you happen to die), but it's all easy enough with practice.

In many ways, 600/smite is easier with a Hero smiter than with a human, so setting up Tahlkora is a good idea.

P.s. If you do CoF, you can take [Light of Deldrimor] with you for some extra cash (about 1k total) and odd goodies. You'll want to learn which spots give you a Dwarven helper though, because they are no help.

Also a Sig of Illusion Me/Mo Smite hero is better than a monk smite heroes, you can get 16/16 on the mes and only 16/15 on the monk.
