Hi everybody

, AscalonWarrior and myself made a guide to show how to 600hp/smiter works , how spiritbond is not nerfed , the farming spots.

First of all i want to give credits to my friend AscalonWarrior (Sausage healer ) to be a good tank and making some nice video's.Everybody say THANKS

.

We all know what happens on some months ago : Hardmode, people didn't found it fair to have loot scaling and some people like it : they get massive of gold : the rich guys getting richer and the poor guys getting more poor. So this is why we made a guide to farm faster, better and funnier

.We Vanquished cursed lands in lesser then 15 minutes

.

Ok let's get started

Equipment,Skills and Atributes.
We need first some others thing before we get started, those things don't cost a lot and easy to get.You also need a buddy(like i did ) or you can still farm with an hero(sometimes better :P).

Smiter

Armor
As we first start , we need some armor.The best armor to get is from these crafters
Kambei,Shing jea Monastery
Banoit,Ascalon city (Post searing)
Mehinu,Kamadan.

That armor that these guys craft are 15AL Armor. But wait, you only need one headgear, pants and sandals.Fill these with radiant insignia's (optional) and your equipment is ready

. Get a nice caster weapon and you are ready

Skills
Protective Spirit
Spiritbond
Shield of Absorption
Spell Breaker
Mystic Regeneration
Blessed Aura
Balthazar's Spirit
Essence bond

Mystic regeneration can be replace for Fleeting Stabilty and Rebirth/Res signet.

Atributes
Protection Prayers 11
Divine Favor 11
Earth Prayers 8

How to use Build ?
Easy , Cast Bonds before getting in battle. Then Before rushing in, Cast these skills in order : Protective Spirit, Spirit bond , Mystic regeneration.That's all for now , But now you have to look at you Spiritbond, When the icon is GONE , Recast Spiritbond. You will see in this Video how to use it, They will slowely die and tada, you killed something

.

Demo video.

Bonder
The bonder needs 60AL Armor = Highest armor level that you can get for monk. Also a nice staff +15 energy could be nice to cast bonds

.

Skills
Holy Wrath
Retribution
Life Attunement
Vital Blessing
Bane Signet
Signet of Judgment
No Skill
]Rebirth

Atributes
Smiting Prayers 12
Protection Prayers 12
Divine Favor 3

How to use Build ?
Again , this guy can be replaced with hero if you don't have a buddy. Cast Bonds on your buddy , stay away from him (look at you aggro bubble and watch out that you don't aggro anything) If one guy is left from the mob : Use signets to kill him.

Bonder--->Lazy :P.

Spots

Prophechies

North kryta Province (Outside La ,Fire imps farming).

Gates of Kryta(Bonus Part).
Cast bonds , Go straight to the left , then when you at the house , go in and go a little bit to the left and you will come out on the backside.

Scoundel's Rise (Mergolye+Bog Skaler Farming).

Nebo Terrace (Also know has the good old Bergen hot springs

)

Anvil Rock (Outside Ice tooth cave).

Skyward Reach(Augury rock , Hydra's).(He survived it :P)

...(Alot of more spots coming soon).

Factions

(Coming Later...)

Nightfall
(Coming later..)

Core
Underworld (Thank you The Dopefish for screens

).

Fissure of Woe (Begin part , Left and right. Also possible to do battlegrounds and shadow rangers (do not kill them all)

I hope you all liked my guide

, Now you all see , A lot of more spots coming soon and coming later. I think you guys now say : WTF ????. But there is a good reason for : I have in 2 weeks my new exam , It's French

so i'm bussy with it.But i will promise you that i can get next week( this week ) the factions spot+Preview of Nightfall . I apoligse for this, but waiting is sometimes a good job

.

Ps: If you need help me us then

Wonderful guide.

A few tips: Leech sig is always a good option for either player; of course, have the bonder bring purge sig if you're heading down to the UW.

Life Attunement can also be dropped for Succor, although I personally don't think it's that useful of a switch.

So in each one of these screens, you actually VANQUISH the area right? I'd love to do this if you finished each entire zone. And I hope to see mroe, soon. I also hope that this becomes as epic as it should be, so, bookmarked.

Well, I believe that it's possible to Vanquish all of these areas, not sure tho.
I've vanquished The Mirror of Lyss, Skyward Reach, Cursed Lands (takes ~20 minutes), but it's possible to vanquish more areas with this.

Oh yeah and tips to the tank, use SoA as often as possible. It doesn't reduce the damage done by Holy Wrath and Retribution, but you will take 0 damage.

Hehe nice Build but My friend and I did a Test on Mursaart with 3 man DoA and it worked very well. They die when the Monk is dead and the Bosses will die very quick on HM.

Nice Guide

Me and a friend are vanquishing from time to time 600 / Smite.
It big fun and very rewarding.

Here is a list of some places we managed to vanquish with a similar build:

- Fahranur, The First City

- Barbarous Shore

- Marga Coast

- The Hidden City of Ashadim

Working on:

- Poisoned Outcrops

(this one is tricky ... you have to bring frozen soil on the bonder for the Undead Monks. Pretty pretty nasty are the Margonite Dervishes using mystic healing like a mad man. We tried scourge healing and good interrupts with two smite signets... still no luck bringing them down ... anything else is a walk in the park there ... one word: Undead

)

- Sunward Marches

(Easy really BUT there is one huge mob of Dervishes and they strip enchants if they have higher health then you ... Intimidating aura on a level 30 (or was it level 28) Dervish is nasty .. so once your health drops you lose all your enchantments and boom dead .. thinking about brithday cupcake (cheating) now)

Any hints, tips and tricks are more then welcome.

Thanks for your time,
Timebandit

Ive been wondering what the point of SoJ and Bane sig is on the bonder's bar.

I personally like Air of Enchantment and Selfless Spirit to get enchantments up quickly, and glyph of ess/sac for when something goes wrong. Besides, if you end up needing to use it, your probably going to die anyway.

This is an HM build and should require some thought into getting out of trouble and back nto the fray quickly.

hope this helps...

Also, using +4 div and +4 prot, and switching between them is also handy.

I wil try to get some From Factions

Wow, nice guide. It's a shame I have no Monk buddies... I wanna try this sometime.

It'd be good if you reduced the size of those pics of made them thumbnails too, forum rules say you can't stretch out browsers.

NP ... you can use it with your hero

Truth is I use this build all the time with my hero to farm the UW (HM/NM) for ectos

Just remember to disable the skills on the heros skill bar and cast them on you and go hunt.

Oo yeah, thanks for reminding

Had great fun there with you

The.D0pefish · Aug 16, 2007, 08:45 PM // 20:45

I know UW was the start of all 600hp/Smite but i haven't seen many dual groups leaving the ordinary route (smites etc.)

[img=http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/9025/gw214sa7.th.jpg]

Quite challenging because of energy drain but it might be interesting for the guide

blackest monk · Aug 16, 2007, 11:08 PM // 23:08
