For Smites see here
First of all we go grap a lvl 20 Dervish with:
Full Windwalker 70 AC armor + a 15^50 or 15% Enchant Sycthe with 20/20 Sundering and 20% longer Enchants
the cap of the armor is on sycthe, we also take a minor scythe,earth and mysti rune + sup vigor and pack some keys :P
You should come to 565 hp + 25 Mana ( I got a wind rune in, for pvp)
This is our Skillbar ( A6MSKvis60ehuMXCM797KPOw )
Now we start down into the Underworld
- accept the quest, try not to lure any aaxtes( if you did run away with pious haste )
- put balth spirit on
- put vow on and pull the graspings with pious haste ( pious haste should end before vow, so vow ends, else use conviction to cancel)
- put on conviction, vigor and regeneration and ball the graspings and kill them using ur attack skills
- keep up mystic vigor and conviction while fighting, regeneration only for beginning ( heal urself with victorous sweep too )
Pic1
After killing all 3 Groups of Graspings, we run past the Aaxted towards the Twin Serpent Mountains
Pic2
there are 2 groups of 2graspings + 1 dying or just 3 Graspings, well just kill those groups ( if dyings put on vow and run in and kill them, then graspings)
Pic3
Now there are 2 Aaxted between you and the entrance to the Mountain, well we wait till the Aaxtes patrol away
With moving near the entrance, we activate a patrol of Charged Blacknesses coming down there, but they turn around, once they are down
Pic4
It might happen that sometimes, the Behemonthes stand in a way you can t pass or can hardly pass, well shit happens( Pic5 Pic6)
But we could pass them today ( Pic7) and we follow the green marked way, not aggroing the Blacknesses
Pic8Again we follow the green line, not aggroing the red marked Blacknesses
( at the pink marked spot, it might happen, that you can t pass, what is very rare)
Pic9 , well follow the green line, be fast, the red marked thingy is a Blackness patrol moving towards the Chaos Planes, after meeting with the other blacknesses
Then we come to the entrace to the Chaos Planes, you might also get blocked here, quite rare
Now run through to the Bone pits, seeing a patrol of 1 Tresher and Collector walking away, so we kill the Souls, they drop items on their first dead
Now:
- but up balth spirit
- wait till the patrol comes back
- cast regeneration + vigor + vow on you ( + convition) ( while still out of the range of the tresher)
- then run to the Tresher and attack it, standing in a way, that you also hit the Collector ( Collectors are Melee, Treshers Ranged)
- recast Vow as fast as you can, so you dont get hexed, no need for recasting the rest, you heal yourself with victorous sweep now)
Now the same procedure with the group standing right there pic 10
If they get a Hex on you, then the next time Vow drops, you put a regeneration on you and then vow again ( pic 11 )
The Treshers are those who deal the real dmg, the Collectors do very less dmg, their minions deal more :P ( pic 12)
pic13 now we lured the group that patrols the red line, cause if we run around the corner the pink marked patrol might attack us and those Treshers have an Uber-Longbow
Now we run around the Corner with Pious and fight the next group that patrols the red line pic 14
Watch the pink marked patrol, evade them or make sure they fire into the stones right to you, also watch groups possibly walking over the bridge
Walk some steps back and then fight the Treshers on the bridge from under the bridge pic 15, note that mobs in Bone pits react with 1-2 secs delay, so aggro them early enough
Keep an eye on ur mana here, they don t hit you
Now aggro the rest groups on the right side, the Treshers will hit the wall and you kill the Collectorspic 16
Note, the Treshers have long attack range, but a normal attack range
After you cleared the Collectors, get to this Spot: pic 17 and cast enchants up and fight the 2 balled Treshers, than go back to the spot, watch the red marked spots, that you dont aggro Treshers in your back
It might happen that a group, that patrolls over there summons a bone minion, that aggros you and so the group comes across the bridge to attack you, Pic 18 kill the Collector, then encant yourself kill the TresherPic 19, go back, re enchant and kill the last Tresher, now you can walk across the bridge
Now walk to this spot : Pic 20, you will activate some patrols, one moves to the bridges, the procedure to kill them should be clear now....
When fighing at this spot Pic 21Note that:
- the red marked treshers might attack you
- when fighting the green group, the pink marked one might attack you, but prevent this ^^
We should be able to clear the rest of the Bone pits now without further instructions, just 4 more Tips:
1. There are no Dyings in the Bone Pits
2. Watch the Souls, rend is 1 Sec
3. Mobs in the Bone Pits are very slow in reacting on aggro
4. to ball up a not moving group, aggro them, but run away insted, when they reform, they are balled
No it isn t over yet, now the fun begins
We run back to the Chaos Planes and keep up an eye for chests, the Dream Riders don t follow you a long way if you aggro them ( thx to 33% boost update^^)
After checking for Chest, we move towards the Spawning Pools, we will note a group of 2 Wailing Lords and 1 Dream Rider, that get stuck sometimesPic22
When we move closer, 3 Mindblades will pop up Pic 23and follow us for a little moment, they turn around very fast and the whole group starts patroling
Pic 24 When the group moved to the Spawning Pools, we run to the green marked save spot, the group patrols from blue point to blue point , at the blue points, they make a stop and spread a bit but continue soon
When the group moves away, we put up a balth spirit again and an regeneration+ vow and move quickly into the Spawning Pools, watch the Rider running around there
The Terrorwebs do no real dmg, through the fact they can t cast^^, and we can kill them all Pic 25
But that would be way to easy , right?
And well it isn t that easy, there is a patrol of 2 Blacknesses and 1 Dryder coming along Pic 26
At the green Spot we are save, but watch the Rider in the back at this moment
Well then back to buisness, those Dryders even drop ectos :P Pic 27
Now the hard part comes, we have to fight the Blacknesses, though they have Shock + Whirlwind, that goes through the Vow, and they also heal themselfes
Fighting them is pretty much hit and run, you need to find a rythem in which they use their Shock when you have Vow up, else you can make some steps back to cast Vow, but note that you also need to cast regeneration in between the Vows, else you have no relieable heal ( too much dmg with Shock )
Also don t try to tank both of the Blacknesses at the same time, if you don t have praticed with them beforePic 28
But its worth the time Pic 29 :P
If they ever get to Shock ur Vow, ur simply dead or get away like this with Pious pic 30
Now you pretty much got everything to clear the whole Spanwing Pools, but there is a group of 3 Blacknesses
You can split them, by luring them far far away, they don t seem to split, but they do so
Here are some more Screens right of the Pools : Pic 31 Pic 32
And after some time we cleared the whole Spawing Pools too. Cheers!
The ecto drops aren t that overwhelming, in the run I took the Screens I found 2 ectos, both in the Spawning Pools ( also found already 3 ectos in an Bone Pits only run, so....), but there are quite many chests on the way.
And there are very many Eternal Shields, Eternal Bows, Storm Bows and Ghostly Staffs in those Chests, imho more than in the Smite Chests.
Such a run takes much time, more than 1 hour for sure ( never looked on the clock)
You can post your questions, sugestions and stuff here, but ....
