don't feel no pain, can you make a map showing all the safespots you stop at or a map just outlining your normal run using this build? Curious to see if I can improve my times, been getting around 13-14 mins usually when I do complete the runs.

Other than that, excellent build addition to the community.

Killing in speed kills drop rate. I have done the exact same run in about 15min, but have gotten like 5 times the drops then what i have seen you get :S

A map from anyone who uses this build would be nice so we can compare and maybe find the most efficient route to compensate for lag and/or other complications for this build.

I know the route is pretty much going to be the same for the majority of people(builds aside), but you never know what a few collective minds can come together and do.

Okay I've mastered GETTING to the smites but they cast SoJ when I fight them! I die every time, I do exactly as you do. How do I kill these buggers? =(

Edit: Tried again, still no dice -_- These things are hurting me even though all my armor has the -3 and my shield is -2 in a stance. I try to attack them I have zero energy and they are casting even though I hit them with visage -_-

hmmm are you fighting mobs or 1 group at a time?, are you using a zealous axe?, are you using bonneti's on the smites while visage is up (would be bad)?

Oooo... I dont have a zealous axe, thats probably whats wrong. Maybe its also that my shield isn't the one I need. I have a tactics one that has the required stats but I cant get the +16 armor from it. Just the +45 hp and -2 damage while in a stance. I'll try it out with a zealous axe and get back to you. And I always try to make them mob. Thanks for getting back to me so fast

if you need a strength sheild you could try for:


victo's bulwak (5-10k)
Arrahhsh's Aegis(5-10k)
Destructive Shield(5-10k)
Strongroot's Shelter(5-10k)

or just a -2 stance

Tanzit's Defender (<5k)

Well I take my route a bit differently.The map may not be accurate, but that's what I can remember without actually doing it-

Typical Route is my usual route through the locations. Ofcourse they aren't always the same, but that's a general example.

Safe Spots are typically locations where you can rest/stay out of 'aggro' range.They are ofcourse many other locations where you are "safe" but these are the main action points.

Possible Smite Spawns are areas in which Smite Crawlers possibly spawn. They ofcourse change, but these locations are ones I tend to find them.

Notes-
-Whilst at the Statue of Grenth (?) you can also aggro the Smite Crawlers at the base of the knoll (4th from the left in above picture)
-I did also put the Coldfire Patrol Routes in, but the map just looked scribbly
-Maybe I should have used Photoshop instead of paint...

From memory I have 12 Strength 13 Axe and 9 Tactics?

My record still stands at 3...and one time all 3 from a single mob.

Ah the joys of pulling 20 or so smite crawlers on a good spawn. Brings a tear to the eye

Whirlwind Attack is a Sunspear Title Track skill. You can learn it from the Hero Skill Trainers in located throughout Elona. The easiest ones are in Kamadan, Sunspear Great Hall, Command Post and the Chantry of Secrets. You'll need one Hero Skill Point though.

Great Build. I've been using it for about almost a week, and grossed over 250k. I've spent most of it, but having a hard time getting ectos today. Great build once again, and thanks for the helpful videos. Pull just takes practice, but once you get it down, it's pretty easy. I hate the cannibal smites...make me lose my ectos lol. But my record is only 3 ectos in one run. Warrior/Ritualist? Laugh

After you pull them, attack with your sword/axe(the elemental one of shelter/defence) so you can use bonneti's, then use a visage and then do lots of triple chops, cyclone axes, whirling attacks and use bonneti's to keep the visages up in between.

If you cant do that without dying try:
Use zealous axe/sword and then pull, attack, bonneti's, visage, physical resistance, and then use cyclone attack and whirling attack and triple chop to gain energy for visages.



and if your ealy unlucky to be hit by skull crack while doing a visage at the start, ust bonneti physical resistance and then try and get into it again.

Now that I use the +7 I only take the 3 damages (I'm guessing criticals or something). So now it's either 0 or 3 damage from the smites (per hit) not 0,1 or 3 from before.

In all, I would take this build

i keep dying to smites because somtimes they crit for 3 dmg, and I have no way to heal up.

Im using icy axe shelter +7, all knights with sup abs sup vigor, with physical resist on, and I still die. Shield -2 while stance
