in HM if the 600 is "pro" (like me XD) is really faster 600/smite than 55/ss;
but if u want to do uw in NM is faster 55/ss.

Just giving an average time, me and a guildie have cleared the lab, the village and smites & coldies, and the quest in the ice wastes, non mass aggro and without the smites and coldies killing eachother in 30mins.

but this was in nm as theres not much point doing it in HM.
i should say that was as a 55/ss

55/ss > 600/smite

thats the way i see it.
quicker, and funner for dmg dealer / smiter.
On the other hand, you can 600/smite with a hero...
But id say 55/ss over 600/smite .

55/ss can also clear Uw

I'd say the Ele one because it's easier...If you mistime any of your skills in your SF chain even by seconds, you're done

In Hard Mode with the increased attack speed 600 smite is faster and also safer.

You have the added bonuses of a damage dealer who doesnt need to be anywhere near the agro at any time and the security of rebirth if anything goes wrong.

Real pr0 55/SS teams can probably actually clear significantly more of UW in the way of quests etc. But in my opinion the safety of 600/smite makes it a more appropriate farm for most players, due to the safety of a hard res and much easier agro control for the tank.

What about 600/smiter vs E/Mo vs A/Me?
