N/Mo Solo Smite farming build (55 build)
Need the scar pattern or the extra energy armor. Put all sup runes on it, at least get sup curses, soul reaping, and blood, death sup isn't needed so you can do 3 soul reaping, 1 curses, 1 blood, or whatever is cheaper. You also need the -50 hp focus, which u get from an ascalon quest from some scribe guy. I also have a sword with enchants lasting 20% longer, really useful, think their is a green axe with 20% long enchants and +5 energy. Anyway...
Curses: 16
Protection Prayers: 10
Healing Prayers: 12
Blood Magic: 5 (for the energy on the focus)
Soul Reaping: 4
Spiteful Spirit
Healing Breeze
Shadow of Fear
Protective Spirit
Vigorous Spirit
Essence Bond
Balthazar's Spirit
Mending
Not as easy doing 2 man with my N/Mo but this is what I do. I pull the aaxtes out with my longbow and then cast healing breeze and prot spirit. Then I cast vigorous spirit and hope that one of them uses their salvage slash on it (happens offen) then I put SS on one of them. SS maybe get interrupted but just keep trying to put it on. Usually takes 2 SS hexes and sometimes 3 if it got interrupted several times. Once I kill the 2 or three aaxtes i just run around the area to a nightmere comes up, make sure I have 4 enchants on me, and then it dies using rend enchants (so you have to recast enchants). If the nightmeres come up with the aaxtes chasing you, just run and hide behind a ghost so the aaxtes can't get you. Also for attacking only one aaxtes, dont use healing breeze but use vigorous spirit to heal yourself from attacking, energy is gets a little low from attacking one. I make sure that all aaxtes and nightmeres are dead b4 i go to the squid guys.
With the squid guys (forgot the name) cast prot spirit on yourself, then SS on them, and then healing breeze on yourself. These guys can be a pain but just try to keep the healing breeze and prot spirit on you (I have a +20% enchant fiery dragon sword so that helps a bit).
When you finally reach the smites put both enchants on and aggro the group. First cast shadow of fear, they will use smite hex to get it all off (haven't tried a group of over 5 smites so becareful u dont get killed from a smite hex spike, shadow of fear might also be useful too with large groups to slow down their attacks) then use SS on one of them and then shadow of fear for a cover up hex. Now pretty much keep casting SS and shadow of fear on the smites and they eventually die.
With coldfires, cast your enchants, and aggro one group (be sure to only aggro 2 or 3 of them). Let them cast maelstorms (run out of them) and then when they are next to each other cast SS. Pretty simple, keep doing that and don't aggro any other groups and they should die. I did find a nightmere pop up buy coldfires (go into the smite area, follow the path, and on the first right the nightmere popped up in that area, not sure if its always there, also found another one where a chest sometimes is, but no mobs) when this happens, make sure prot spirit stays one you can try to run out of the smite area with the coldfires chasing you (and makes sure the nightmere is dead too)
Only tried this on smites, not sure if its gonna work on anything else. Unfortunately when I successfully did this last night I only got one ecto from an aaxte.
