Dungeon question, 600/smite

Quote:

I run CoF all the time with a gwen smiter. As long as you cast retribution BEFORE holy wrath.....Reversal of Damage will not kill the smiter. In fact, in about last 5 runs i've done, Illusion of Weakness was never even triggered.

Also, if a runner NEEDS bip, he really shouldn't be running. The ONLY thing I EVER wait for during a run is occasionally having to wait for Spellbreaker to finish recharging. My energy is full after every battle. As long as you use SoA properly at the end of a fight, the 600 should always leave the battle with full energy.

Also, HoTS can be pretty easily run with a 600/smiter. Due to the heavy hex/conditions there, it's advised to take purge signet on your smiter to cleanse you after every battle. If you're just learning it, a 2nd "bonder" running mending, succor, and watchful is advised. It'll give you 7 regen and provide a little extra energy........however, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easily done with just the normal gwen smiter w/purge signet.

rragars, oolas, shards of orr, ooze pits, frostmaw, sepulchre of dragrimmar, heart of shiverpeaks, darkrime delves, even most of vlox

I want to run frostmaws burrows does anyone have the build for 600/smite do you need a ranger also like in shards of orr?

Do you need to have help killing wurms?

I have personally been able to repeatedly run the following dungeons in HM using either a 600 monk or a 600 Rit:

Cathedral of Flames (CoF) -- Well documented builds and such

OozE Pit -- Less well documented, but same principle applies... its useful to take along another person with some interupts and dmg dealing to help kill certain monks that don't like to go down (or pop back up like the matid queens). Also, the final three bosses take a LONG time to kill... Diversion is helpful, but I get along just fine with pain inverter... you just have to watch a bosses health to see when the gel. absorption wears off and throw on PI.

Sepulchre of Dragrimor -- Basically same builds as above... the only hard parts really are getting past the stupid trap rooms, occasionally bad jotun spawns in the way in Drakkar Lake, and the end boss. With the end boss I took him down using pain inverter.... but you have to be very sure that your bonder is out of range of his AoE skill which causes bleeding.

Oola's Lab -- Same strategy as Ooze Pit really, there are some annoying healers on the way to the dungeon from Rata Sum so its good to have a dmg dealer or 2 along to help take em down. Once you're in the dungeon it should be quite easy as long as you don't over aggro, though you can usually take on 2-3 groups of golems at a time. Some of the traps on the 2nd level can be annoying, but with proper flagging you can get by them fairly well.

I'm gonna work on getting through some of the other dungeons... I'll keep you all posted on hints and strategies.

Rit 600s are superb in any area where the foes don't have a tremendous amount of health. The kill way faster than a 600 monk does and only have energy problems if poorly run, or if fighting something with a huge amount of health. Anyone who's seen Murakai killed by a rit 600 will have learned to fear and respect the power of Vengeful weapon and VwK. My rit 600 breezes through Oola's lab much faster than the monk 600 does.

Frostmaw would be interesting, there are only a few spots where the bats spawn, but you can't avoid them.

Would be interesting to see how to get across. Possibly using a paragon as a teamate with Angelic bond or Angelic protection along with other dmg reduction skills.
