I was trying to do duo UW runs with my ss necro and my dad playing his 55 monk. we were using this build basically, http://guildwars.gameamp.com/guide/viewGuides/740.php!orderBy=author

So far we can speed through the aaxtes and grasping darkness groups. We get to the smites and its a bit slower, but we get it. The coldfire drakes or whatever those things are, they give us problems. We havent got them yet, but we have only done a total of maybe 4 runs, so I suppose we will have to practice.

Not trying to hijack the thread, sorry...just suddenly started typing. Good job though on the smites, I'm wondering how many we could take

I don't farm and even I know farming smites is not a tough task. Sorry but I am fresh out of empty "congradulations" for things that have been done a million times.

When man walks on the moon for the first time it's big news, when man walks on the moon for the one millionth time, it's nothing to be proud of.

Glasswalker · Feb 22, 2006, 12:59 AM // 00:59

Try soloing the smites then. It ain't tough at all... Until you do it. (Caveat: It will cost you a few thousand.)

P.S. When YOUR daughter takes her first step, it's a really big deal.

capblueberry · Feb 22, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

thats the same build i use in UW

cerb · Feb 22, 2006, 01:05 AM // 01:05

Okay, to *anyone* who says smites is no challenge, I dare you to take even more than 14 with a Protective SPIRIT build and no DP. Anyone who's done it can tell you it's really harder than it looks.

Good luck with that, seriously. Oh, and don't forget screenshots. I took on 45 smites once, but I forgot to take a screenshot

If 14 is a challenge, then 45 by all reasoning should be beyond impossible. Based on the fact that spawning 45 smites would require that most of the groups are 5, if 11 attacked at once it would spike you for 55 killing you instantly so the gathering process (which would include dodging all of the coldfires I might add) would be increasingly difficult with every group that you had to clump together.

Until I hear some more thorough evidence of how this would be achieved, I'm calling BS on it.

Note the emoticon. I'm assuming that means its a joke.

He was being sarcastic on that part if you hadn't noticed

I've never done it, so congradulations to you!

I have missed sarcasm too many times this week...

I'm going to go ahead and call BS on this. the slightest slip when you're tanking 16 smites will cause your death, and you most certainly don't have time to cast SB, unless you skip a healing breeze (which is hypothetically possible, although unlikely that you could pull it off on short notice.) Assuming you got all that done, you'd have to tank the hits of 16 smites + 2 colds at once, which is something I don't know anyone can do (using a prot spirit build, with no dp and no AOTL that is.)

I see two possibilities then, either a: you're lying, or b: a few of them aggro'd late, after some had already died. Prove me wrong, this is the screenshot exposition forum.

lol do that without bonneti's the way it should be makes it perfect for the ss/sv everytime

I hope you're not serious... Anyone who's tried this knows that for more than about 8 smites, you need bonettis or the smites will out damage your breeze/prot, even with the divine favor spikes. With this many smites there's more than enough SV to go around, and even with bonettis they all drain just fine.

Sno speaks the truth. Smites attack so fast the damage spike is insane, hence why I even posted this thread. You need totally perfect timing because if you mess up in your casting pattern would it be even just one second, you're dead.

Racthoh that was sarcasm, I'm kinda surprised you out of everyone fall for that, hell I don't even know if there are even 45 smites in UW.

Have any N/Mo or Mo/N tried that with Aura of Lich?
Aura of Lich may not help a lot to a 55 but lets my ranger solo 2 Titans.. So Aura of Lich + Protective Spirit=2 max loss of health per hit?
