I haven't tested this build out, but I was wondering whether a Terratank would be able to perform the same job as a 600 in the CoF run. There might be a little bit of tweaking in the Smite build, but I think it would function just fine.

Or is there a reason that only monks are used, and I'm missing it? I'd much rather try to get my Elementalist somewhere to farm than make a new Monk only for farming purposes.

there is a reason only monks is used - the smiter makes tthe tank do dmg on enemies attacks

Okay, I'm not denying that the Smiter is an important role. I'm wondering whether a Terra Tank can replace just the 600 Monk, and not both of them. Sliver Armor is on there because I saw that as being another easily usable damage dealer, not to do the work of two players.

Edit: Found out why this doesn't work. Terra Tank would take 0 damage, therefore not triggering Holy Wrath or Retribution to do any damage. Thanks.

tried it. fails. reason is mantra+stone striker and Stoneflesh both reduce damage to the ele. holy wrath and retribution deal a precentage of the daamge dealt to the damage dealer. with the above 3 skills reducing your damage recieved to 0... guess what a precentage of zero is.

an alternate idea is to run as en E-mo with Prot S, S Bond, SoA, shielding hands, Glyph of swiftness, Obs Flesh, Balths, Essence bond. earth 16, prot prayers 12, rest e-storage. use glyph of swiftness only for obs flesh, and alternate SoA and Shielding hands.

oh and minimul AR armor is necessary to maximize damage you take, so Sbond triggers on every hit, and to maximize holy wrath/retribution output.
