I'm thinking about taking up 600/Smite as my main farming build and I have 2 questions.

1. I was reading the 600/Smite UW guide on PvX Wiki and after buying/applying the runes and stuff (Survivor, Runes of Vigor, etc.) my HP is around 600 already. I then noticed the guide said the Smiter Monk is supposed to enchant Vital Blessing on me. Did I do something wrong, because I would end up with 800HP if I had Vital Blessing.

2. Is it worth it to farm the UW even if your smiter monk is a hero?

600base hp+ vital blessing = 800~

hero or player doesn't matter

your choice

Wait, so am I supposed to have 800hp?

Wait, why does Monk need 800 hp is Rit only needs 600? o_O

1) you dont need exactly 600 health to do the build, Just take the lowest AL and the highest Vigor rune you can afford and if you have enough money at least 2 other runes of Vitae.

2) Yes it is IMO, when I do it with real people I have to share my drops. With a hero you wont have to.

Hope This Helps, If You Still Need Help PM me @ Ashley H and i'll give you a hand =)

To the OP:
Farming the underworld is not near the limit of what a 600/smite team can do. They can run about half the dungeons HM in EotN, they can vanquish a lot of areas... all sorts of great money-makers. A lot of people pay 150g/kill in vanquishes, so you could end up making like 30k/hour.

The build works fine with 600, it's just that the higher your health is the more damage you're gonna take under Prot. Spirit, so it makes Spirit Bond work more often.

I haven't gotten through all of the EotN storyline yet on my Monk, so this UW farm will have to suffice for now. Though, it looks like I made a good decision by investing in a 600/Smite team.

600hp is the base then the enchant on top boosts to 800 and if your like me you can either use a shield with +30 hp or an offhand with +12 nrg ( prefered as extra nrg is always usefull ).
Dont limit yourself to just Uw - go and explore and try zones out and you may find some places in hm with monks can be a problem and you may need a 3rd player ... either ss necro or mesmer to counter the monk.
Istan in hm with 600/smite you can easily vanq plains of jarin within an hr - ive 2 man 1/2 of istan and 3 man the other 1/2 just because of the monks , Gates of kryta hm can be farmed easily as well as ascalon area but watch out for the necro charr as you need spellbreaker up before attacking - they can strip enchants an be a pain.

Dont be afraid to do test runs as they give valuable info on how and what foes use to attack then you find their weaknesses - no1 ever masters a build on first try .

^Fix'd it for you.

Spirit Bond checks the damage before modifiers. I used to run it on a 55.
