Eh I've been trying to do the Cathedral build all day but I Can't seem to even kill the first group... I have starter armor, go above 600 hp but I still get killed so easily, especially when SB wears off. Any more details just how to run the build, im obviously doing something horridly wrong.

Have you disabled your hero's maintains, and then put them on yourself?

If you don't disable the maintains, the hero will unmaintain them instantly, which would explain your lack of killing (no [Holy Wrath] and [Retribution] means no damage)

Edit; Just thought I should mention that you should put Retribution on first. While it doesn't make a difference damage wise, [Reversal of Damage] will trigger off Retribution rather than Holy Wrath, dealing less damage to your smiter

Are you in HM?

Are you bonding the smiter accidentally?

Can you 600? (Do you know how to keep up your enchants, etc.?)

Do you/your smiter have the correct attributes?

3rd one is my problem probably. Can't seem to find a guide on how to do it, just videos from the smiters view.

Hey on your Putfile, maybe someone can help me here, it had some DoA shots.... Please explain, as i am interested in this.

Edit: Also why does the Nahpui Bonder need [Bane Signet] ? Also i am having trouble taking down the mesmer boss, as he dosent do enough damage to trigger spirit bond, therefore no heals, and all his cronies die before him, so i run out of energy and die
Any tips?

You don't kill the bosses on the Nahpui run. They spawn lots of little versions of themselves, which usually will kill your smiter, and they don't drop anything good. They're just a pain in the ass, in general.

The veil pics were from my first ever guide on guru - it was on how to dual the Veil, with a hero, while you still get all the drops. if you search around, i'm sure you'll find the thread.

The Raptor run is tough, i won't lie. you need to practice running, aggroing, and kiling hile maintaining enough health for Rekoff to not kill you with Twisting Jaws. practice makes perfect - i failed all over myself before i finally got the hang of it.

I need that build too. I imagine [mystic regeneration] is involved, but ...

cast all the bonds and tha, then before you aggro a mob cast PS then cast SB, the second SB ends cast it again, most mobs should be dead before PS wears off but if its about to run out cast it again. Basically just makje sure that when you (you being the 600) are under damage spiritbond is always on you and its happy days.

Since they fixed Spirit bond, you don't have to wait for SB to end before you reapply it. With tough groups that will kill you very fast in the short time SB is down, you're better off spamming it.

I've been using this...

[build;OAdTYsz+ZSnxtkNApxFCOYtEuE]

and this...

[build;OAdTYsz+ZSnxtkNAp5MQTYtEuE]

both work in NM and HM, but neither will kill Rekoff Broodmother. It is best to work your way around the cave clockwise, taking them in three separate groups. In addition, if Air of Superiority does not recharge Shadow Form, the run takes a bit longer as you have to wait for health and SF to recharge. But it does work pretty consistently for me.

I use a caster's sword, and a 20/20 curses focus, with a Superior Curses rune on my Curses headpiece, full Radiants, a Superior Vigor, and Attunements on the rest.

Good Luck!

P.S. If you don't like the -2 degen of [Poisoned Heart], swap it for [Viper's Defense]

Thanks for the guide, Taco, a big improvement over your last one, and that's saying something!

It's great that you've included links to your photo gallery, but unfortunately it's hard (or at least time-consuming at best) to search through it to find specific run paths or the like (right now I'm working on the Halcyon Job farm, for example). Is there any way you could post them a bit more visibly?

Edit: Durr, I didn't know it was just the standard mission map run, I thought it was a bit more complicated, thanks.

Hi!

I have a problem with Totem Axe farming. When I'm running towards Reed Bog, devourers pop up and my HP decreases under 100. Then there is a Maguuma mob. With only circa 80 HP they can easily kill me with one or two hits even if I have casted AotL and Dash.
After this I take the path on the right in Reed Bog. I easily can pass the trolls, but then Moss Scarabs come out, I cast Dash and run forward but right after this another group of scarabs pop up and they kill me because at that time I'm low on HP and Dash hasnt recharged yet.
I tried it about 30 times and I miserably failed all the time.
How should I do it properly?
