No, you can't. Just avoid them like the plague.

W/Rt, although with the chest nerf the runs aren't as profitable as they once were. Because you really only need 4 skills with the W/Rt, it's pretty easy to mod it into a simple running build. I used to be able to reach 3 chests on most smite runs by having a run around after. Did 2 runs today (first in a good while) and found 0 chests on my first run, 1 on the second (purple). Sort of defeats the purpose of even trying. If they're going to cut the chests in half, the chests remaining should be twice as good, imo. But that's a topic for its own thread I suppose.

And remember to take To The Limit instead of Watch Yourself, cus this will work much better.

Chest running is when people simple run to find a chest, open it and grab goodie, leave game. Most people do it for Trasure Hunter/Wisdom title track I think, because its not really profitable (unless you got a shit load of luck)

Riposte is a good skill to bring if you get dazed by graspings.

Since we are on the subject.I though a W/N build with grenths balance was one that you could use to solo?

Not really. Smites have SoJ, so adrenaline building will be painful, thus Ripostes are basically useless, not to mention most of the Warrior's other damage skills. Grenth's Balance is only single targetting, plus it can't actually kill anything, so that's extremely slow.

Smites dont only have SoJ, but also RoF, so you want to avoid touching them as much as possible. "To The Limit" in combination with the adrenalin gain from getting hit should be more or less enough to power up Bonetti, which you will need to keep your energy up.

Watch Yourself really is a waste of slot, even for the beginning W/Rt, it only hinders de adrenalin gain for bonetti for a little extra armour which you dont need.

use the exact w/rt build on guildwiki.org....just repleace watch yourself with riposte. this build is VERY easy to learn and use. i was able to get to and kill most of the smites on my first try with no problems. just be sure to read the details about how and when to use the skills!
