I was gonna say that it's pretty easy to figure it out... I mean you can blink and see it's vwk. You're getting healed for the same amount your doing dmg with, so it's vwk.

Does VwK still work since nerf, I'm finding it alot harder to do some places and other places like stonereaper outside of aborstone are impossible.

After the AI update, only 3 melee enemies will continue to attack you after they begin to get hurt. That means you can aggro 20 smites on you at once, but only 3 will continue to attack you after you have activated VwK. This makes the run take slightly longer. What used to be 1 aggro of smites now has to be 2.
samcobra
the problem is... they switch off.. meaning that those three will not remain untill they die. When they get below 50% health, they'll retreat and wait for another to come and take their place.
Bloodied Blade
It works, it just take a little while longer.

If only there was a way to protect spirits form AOE dmg, then I could use the ranger build infinantly
Bloodied Blade
You mean keep famine alive?
...you just cast another spirit in front of it and cast famine further away. Either the smites don't do anything to the spirits b/c they are too far to target them or they attack 1 spirit while the other smites die via Famine.
Not sure what you're trying to say since this is a rt/me solo thread...not the r/me.

I tried it for the 1st time last night, took about 4 or 5 tries to get to the smites. But once i figured it out it took about 15mins per run.

Same thing happened to me.
It's clearly harder to run away from axates, and sometimes when I aggro grasps a mob of axate which is not even near the grasps starts running towards me.

Tips plz! Use your run speed increase either right before or the second that you aggro anything...they will drop aggro after you've run enough...I know, it's annoying.

Of course we are, honey. Yes, it's annoying how Axates always kill you when you re-cast illusion of haste. Once axates followed me all the way past the first mob of smites until they finally killed me and went back.

Some monsters follow you until they do something to you. Once when I was a Shiverpeak Chest runner, Mesmer mobs followed me all the way, it doesnt matters to them that I used any running skills or not, they had the same speed. When I stopped, the mob casted Empathy on me, turned back, and joined to his team.

For some odd reason I started to laugh when I read that.
But back to topic: What armor is preferred for this? Energy or Armor+10 While Holding an Item?

Btw. Yes, +10 armor is preferred, maybe +health.

Personally, I use +energy armor (Halycon's) and have no problems at all. In fact, after just a little bit of practice I dropped the self-heal (I used Mend Body and Soul) in favor of Channeling so that I could use Vengeful Weapon more often. (In other words, even without +armor or +health I can afford to drop the big self-heal.)

It's tricky... from the stairway opposite the one that you use for 55ing, you run up with +speed on, and aggro 1 grasping. Our little friend there will take his mob with you. DO NOT use VwK immediately. Give them like 3 seconds or so to waste Distracting Blow (you can just watch for when their tentacles glow) and then cast. I realize this seems rather difficult to do since they scatter, but SV/AV should be easily maintained (hey, if I can do it with an R/Me then you can do it with a rit).
Whatever you do, don't pull them all. Just 1 mob at a time (yes, you will have to watch their aggro patterns to find out which ones are in each mob). Any more than 1 mob and you have a pretty good chance of dying. If all else fails, illusion of haste to the spirits (only really can do this if there's just 1-2 remaining). You *can* body block them, it's just extremely difficult (you have to be facing the grasp, and then he's facing you, but right behind the spirit. Usually this isn't reliable, I can pull it off maybe 6 times out of 10).

Hello, just wanted to ask, post-nerf, how many smites do you guys aggro at a time?
Do you guys ever combine groups, or just take them in the groups of 3-5 that they naturally come in?
Thanks for any and all answers, looking forward to picking ectos again after the nerf

Hmm... I made a Rit just for this farm (to bad I stilll have to get him from KC all the way down to Leviathan Pits )
)
nghwee
To Arielle: combining groups doesnt work post-nerf, 1 grp at a time, which means 3-5 smites.
Hope this helps.
