Guide: 600/smite Cathedral of Flames HM

Silly question...how do you get there? I know where it is, but I can't seem to get there in a two man team in HM without getting killed.

Do you take an 8 man team and let everyone else die?

Thx The dungeon is reached by talking to the merchant in Doomlore Shrine and taking the quest Temple of the Damned. So as long as you have Doomlore Shrine outpost then you can enter the dungeon at any time.

monk / warrior and bring frenzy too kill faster [skill]frenzy[/skill]
roughly 30-40 mins to clear, which depends on spawns Too bad Frenzy doesn't trigger Spirit Bond

Too bad Frenzy doesn't trigger Spirit Bond Wouldn't frenzy trigger Spirit Bond trigger if you applied it before your ps?

Will it be possible to do the same run with an obsidian tank (me) + smiting friend/hero ? No because you wont take enough damage to trigger smite bonds and kill them =/

I dusted off my monk that has been sitting in Prophecies, ran it to EofN today and I started testing the build in the Temple in HM. I have run in to a problem that has caused me to abandon the multiple runs it is a Charr mender.

I know one spawns sometimes at the top of the hill be fore the last door to the last area before level 3 and you can run it through the door and get it killed.

However I have been getting them spawning in groups prior to that and I can't kill them. I am curious as to how you others running this build in the temple are dealing with the Menders when you run in to them? Run past it or pull the group of Undead (with Vraxx, I think) back a bit. There's only one other group that might have a Mender prior to that, near the entry on Level 2. You can avoid that group altogether, or kill everything but the Mender and then walk around.

I would go with Arcane Echo instead of Mending Touch, since conditions aren't really a problem here. If you have trouble getting past the flame dart area without letting the smiter die, just prot yourself a bit and rez at the inside of the boss room.

I tried running in to the bosses room and then Hero smiter monk died on the way in. So I ran in to the first mob and died thinking both myself and the hero would res in the room. However it did not happen, ended up ressing back at the second beacon so that does not always work. I think it must depend on how close to the room the smiter monk dies.

How far back is the smiter dying? I usually follow the map as it is on the wiki, and I've never had this problem.

This doesn't help at all, this is the kind of crap taht makes people suck... Redeem yourself by editing your first post and make a REAL build! That'd be because he's assuming you're halfway intelligent when it comes to 600ing, as he said in the OP.

Note* Will not be posting in an exact guide, this is just a general guideline of what to do.

Ok, so you're experienced at 600/smite, right? This run will probably test your 600/smite skills as you take on a hell-load of mobs that need SB, group triggers and flame darts (FLAME DARTS! ).

Your Stats should be...
Prot: 13
Divine Favor: 16

Your skills should be:
[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Spirit bond[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]Spell Breaker[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]Essence Bond[/skill][skill]Blessed Aura[/skill]

Staff:
Preferably one that gives 20+% to enchantment and gives u a nice boost to energy (10+).

Smiter: Your average smiter.

Ok, you know what to do. BTW don't go mad like in DOA and aggro 24 enemies. Remember, your job as a 600 is to SURVIVE. I would advise putting Spellbreaker on for most mobs. Other than that, good luck.

Happy farming!

*spoiler* keep SB up whenever possible on all bosses except Vraxx the Condemned, keep it up whenever possible on Murakai too! I never really responded to the OP, but a few changes:
-Keep a +1+3 DF hat for casting Blessed Aura, and then switch to the regular +1+1 before you actually aggro groups. You're going for more health so your smiting does more damage.
-Use Arcane Echo instead of Mending Touch since conditions aren't bad in here.
-If you're using a martial/offhand or whatever, go for +5e/20% (like a Totem axe or any caster weapon) and a +energy/+health offhand (I use the Bison Cup).
-You can GENERALLY aggro multiple groups of undead. Just don't try to go for more than one group of enchanted at a time. If you're having problems with the enchanted specifically on Level 3, stand on the side of the stairs so only the melee (hammer, daggers, etc) can hit you; after they are dead, move up so the arrows/spears hit you.
