E/N Smites only

Ok so i was bored the other day and was searching through the forums and reading on the E\Me that just ran past most things straight to the smites and basically just killed them but it was originally used before the nightmares and can still be used with them but not as eaisly so i began to try and think of another way to get to the smites and just the smites and kinda came up with this...





basically when you start off you run past the attaxes and hide in the corner where the door to the next area is. from there you agro the attaxes on the opposite side of the wall and since they cant attack you theres no need to worry. so then you pick one and use rotting flesh since it has natural regen so it basically cancels it out then just kill it with sandstorm this part takes a little while but its the only one you need to kill. so after its dead back off if the other one is still agro'd when its gone use necrotic and you will go through the wall to the other side from there use storm dijins to run past the rest of the attaxes and graps on that side to get to a safe spot near the smites. from there use your 2 attunes earth for energy and aura for a little healing throw up stone flesh and agro the smites at max they do 10 dmg with stoneflesh up. so then you just use sliver with a few sandstorms here and there but the scattering due to sandstorm may be a little annoying so i use it normally when they are near dieing. ive had a few probles with just one smite left but i have killed a single one a few times.

let me know your thoughts and ideas to possibly make this better.

Nice idea of using Necrotic Travesal...This may make the run safer.
I'll try this when I get home.

Thats so smart! Does the reduced time waiting for killing the graspings match the time increase it takes to kill smites?

^)^#)!$(&#*$&)% dang lol i had been doing this for 2 weeks now and its gonna get nurft
also great job with this idea thinking outside the box is always great (no pun intended)

Mmm

could you post a video or some pics ? 'cause I'm trying to get figured the movements to do but still having some problems xD

Yay! 2 hours left for the nerf. Btw, yes, nice build

Nice idea m8. GJ

ill post some pics when and if america ever wins favor again....lol

as far as the agroing of the attaxes on the opposite side of the wall they do tend to turn and run away so im going to look into something to maby get them to stay a little more but if u start to move back when they run they seem to pull back to you for a little while and asfar as timewise against the e\me version i would say this is slower than that but in a way safer because you dont have to worry about a nightmare or anything getting to you so hopefully when we get favor again i can go try a few other things to it and see where things go

try iron mist or grasping earth. i still prefer the darknesses. once u get the timing down its fast and easy

Yes. Finally completed a run But sometimes I just left 1 more smite back becouse it's an incredible long time to kill a Smite alone (sometimes). I used SS+Rotting on the Aatxe and when he started running back, I moved back too and he came back Not so bad, but really slow.

Nice setup, but is slower, I think that Spiteful spirit instead of sand storm and another skill (maybe a hex ?) instead of sliver armor to kill the aatxe.

I dont know, but i will try to test something today

lol, i got attxe to half health then he just runs away..comes bk into aggro and runs off again..

How about bringing a team of heroes with you to help take out the Bladed. Use ele aoe or something. Then have one of your heroes transversal to the corpse. Kill yourself with a vamp weapon and have the transversed hero rebirth you?

Then you could use your normal E/Me build for the smites, or any other build for that matter.

Im gunna take a complete guess but mabye instead of the necro skills you could just take deaths charge or that probably wouldn't work?

Quote:

yeah deaths charge will just take you into the wall because there is no way to walk around the wall so you cant teleport through it with deaths

Scorpion Wire?

I thought the same thing about assn shadow stepping and ele skills like "ride the lightning", but you can't do it. There's only three skills that will work here:

Necrotic Transversal
Consume Corpse
Rebirth

These are the only skills in GW that will allow you to "teleport" through walls and such.

Scorpion Wire:
For 8...18 seconds, the next time you and target foe are more than 100' apart, you TELEPORT to that foe and that foe is knocked down. This spell has half the normal range......

"Though it uses the word "teleport," this skill actually works as a shadow step."

Anet is so decptive...

Did they nerf this? Whenever the aatxe behind the wall comes into my aggro, it runs.

Rotting Flesh?

Yeah.. ive noticed this too..

And killing them with degen takes as long as just clearing the room yourself.

nope, scorpian wire is a shadow step not an actuall teleport
