How much you usually pull ? How many can you handle ? Pics appreciated!

Heres mine shot of holding 18 smites while my mate is getting some more:

He wasn't able to get them to me so we finished those 18 soon after

Yea sometimes there is over 20 smites and my friend usually dies because they do deal alot of dmg and when you lay a hex down and the use smite hex it can rape the 55 unless you know how to time as a SS/(!SV!) SV helps in these cases and can decided life of death of the 55.

Yea most was around 18 here aswell.

Of course necro has to use sv at all times before casting ss but i dont see why smite hex would more damage than a normal hit ?

If they all use smite hex at the same time it can cause a huge damage spike, i find it almost impossible to survive if that happens.

Everything in the area.

ghoup · Apr 08, 2006, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Post a pic of that, if you can do it without dp then its impressive (23+ smites)

The Fenixxor · Apr 08, 2006, 07:12 PM // 19:12

there are rarely 23 smites in one lurable range.

ghoup · Apr 08, 2006, 07:20 PM // 19:20

That's why you got your necro to help u to lure

The Fenixxor · Apr 08, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Regardless of who helps you lure, there arent 23 smites available to agro in one area... usually.

ghoup · Apr 08, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Well that time there were 26 smites, 5 that my mate couldn't get and 3 in the beginning that we killed. Usually there are well over 20 smites in the area if they aren't killing themself.

i never understood why they killed themselves. poor smites.

and the max i've held was something around 18... but never tried anything higher.

Avarre · Apr 09, 2006, 05:11 AM // 05:11

Max I've taken without dp is 15... 55 mesmers ftw.

Tsunami Rain · Apr 09, 2006, 06:58 AM // 06:58

I take whatever i can aggro up unless it's laggy then I might grab one group at a time for safety.

Richo · Apr 09, 2006, 09:37 AM // 09:37

nevah take to many you cant handle (you got enough time to clear and i nevah saw a ss/sv nec complain about the fact i nevah agrod 15+ smites (15 smites is the max i can handle atm) mostly i dont even get 15 agrod cause other would run away..

if you are a decent 55 mo and you got a decent ss/sv nec you can handle 15 smites withou any problems as long you know how to use bonneti

and smite hex = 5 dmg as their normal attacks the difference is that they attack faster then that they can cast a spell so you got plenty of time to recover

Sure you can all say that you can handle this, but do you post pics? no...

Actually, the reason smite hex becomes a spike, is that every time they use smite hex, you get hit twice (once for smite hex and once from zealots fire.) If the necro casts an aoe hex (ie. suffering) and the smites all rip it off at near the same time, that's double damage to you for however many smites there are. Any smites that aren't using smite hex at that very instant are still hitting you, and bonettis NEVER stops smite hex or zealots damage. The combination of all that usually ends in death if you have a half-decent ammount of smites on you.
