Today we go to Smitesworld *yay ectos*

(AaVSQOUpqaxqT4G6Ku/ueQRQS4AD)

9 Illusion
5 Inspiration
10 + 1 + 2 Scythe
5 + 1 Wind
10 + 2 Mysticism
+ Sup Vigor
+ Scythe with 20/20 + 15^50 or 15% enchant + 20% Enchants
+ Windwalker Insignia

Enter the Underworld and accept the quest
Lure the first group of graspings away from the Aaxtes using Pious Hast, use Physical Resistance, wait for the Distracting Blows to come out, then use Visage
Put up Vow + Mystic Vigor + Heart of Fury and kill them, remember to keep up visage [Pic1]
( if your visage gets interrupted, just cast the other one, if mana needed use VoW, even after all of them used "Fear me" you get 5 mana for VoW before the next "Fear Me")

Proceed this way with the other groups of graspings and run to the smites

Now the Smites :
1. Choose a group to lure
2. Decide for a place where you can ball them ( preferable corners, else use the free space to ball them )
3. put up Physical Resistance
4. Aggro them
5. Use Visage if u got them in ur wanted position
6. Use VoW + Mystic Vigor
7. Hit them 3 Times ( once victorous sweep)
8. Cast Heart of Fury
9. Cast another Visage
10. If you forgot the put up Resistance ur already dead
11. If the group was only 3 Smites they should die without the need of putting up another Visage
12. collect the ectos

btw: bad Luring = dead , critical rubberbanding = dead, trying to fight the coldfires = dead

Here some Pics:
[Pic2]
[Pic3]
[Pic4]

Note: Playing that build isn t that easy, you need a bit of timing and training, cause ur life might drop quite low when casting all the stuff ( sometimes even under 80).
If the Smites put up SoJ when fighting them you did something wrong, or you are fighting less than 3 ( thats quite challanging).
A whole Run takes about 10 to 15 mins, a group 3 smites is dead in like 20 secs ( Victorous sweep + Critical + 20% ~129dmg ^^)

You find a lot of keys and nearly no chests, so if you wanna open some chests, you might try my other uw build [Link]
Also visit my Fow Build[Link]

Questions Comments etc right here

Looks very nice. ill have to try this on my dervish. Question:

How long does one run take? Is it faster than ele or rit soloing smites?

Arkantos · Mar 15, 2007, 11:28 PM // 23:28

Nice build, gonna have to try it out soon.

Possibly faster then rit, but I highly doubt it can top ele.

[M]uff][n_Gh[]st · Mar 16, 2007, 12:14 AM // 00:14

Could you use Extend Enchantment+SV as an
Alternative because not all of use have faction

But anyway nice build

Marverick · Mar 16, 2007, 01:00 AM // 01:00

Mysticism is probably high enough to use EE + SV. EE at 12 lasts 17 seconds, with 20% enchanting its 20 seconds, which is just its recharge. By then SV will also have recharged.

Actually that might be better than SV + AV, since AV costs 10 energy while EE only costs 5.

Where or how do you get Extend Enchantment?

I've been practising with this build, but I think it's too risky, I know well UW now (coz I used to do W/Rt), but my health is usually between 0 and 100 at the smites, one 2-sec late cast and you are dead in secs.

You're doing something wrong. I've been running this build with success for a while now, with almost no deaths at smites. Just cast Heart of Fury when your health goes below 250 and start pounding at the smites. You should heal for almost 100 per hit.

I usually wait (with Phys resistance on) while smites are balling up into 1 small group, and while doing this, my hp gets down under 100. Maybe I need more practice.

Btw I got 1 ruby and 1 ecto from 1 smite group, then 1 more ecto, then I died ^^. But I'm getting better

My-way Ftw · Mar 22, 2007, 03:58 PM // 15:58

Can you keep the visages up 100% of the time? Curious because im working on a similar build, not for dervish though.

Moone · Mar 22, 2007, 04:10 PM // 16:10

You can t keep it up for exactly 100%, but can keep it up as long as its needed. So neighter the Smites nor the Graspings will get 5 Mana in the Downtime.

Dronte · Mar 22, 2007, 06:27 PM // 18:27

If I have a bit lag, or I dont know why, cant keep up the visages, and they can cast a spell (or two), and it hurts because of the fire dmg (zealots fire) :S. But it only happens rarely.

[M]uff][n_Gh[]st · Mar 22, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

So im guessing this build cannot be done
if i dont have AV?

Correct, you need both Sympathetic Visage and Ancestors Visage for this build to work.

Is it possible that if you don't have AV, you could get by with using Arcane Echo in order to use Visage 3 times? Is that enough casts for 1 group of smites/graspings? Cause if you used Echo, then Visage, then the echo'd visage, you should be able to use the other visage again by then.

I've tried the Extend Enchantments alternative, and it doesn't work well, losing all your enchantments when it ends kinda sucks.

Moone · Mar 24, 2007, 10:39 AM // 10:39

try it, 3 Visages are often enough at smites

SniperF0x · Mar 24, 2007, 11:47 AM // 11:47

Build works well, however i have a little problem with this sometimes.
Smites sometimes tend to put SoJ or other powerfull spells up before even hitting me, thus not getting affected by visage, this can cause a problem.

Moone · Mar 24, 2007, 12:17 PM // 12:17

I also saw that behaviour before, it hapens when smites fought with other smites or Coldfires, than they put it up when its recharged in order to heal themselfes with Divine Favor
Just wait till they are up again and then lure
