Do you do this run in NM or HM? I just cant seem to get past those pesky stormclouds in HM. Guess I'm doing something wrong.

Same here, cover with sliver, they remove, im running they get a second soulrending shriek off and im toast!
Cant seem to break agro without them managing a second shriek, even if im lucky enough to only encounter 1 (which doesnt happen often!)

NM or HM whichever I feel like, are you guys using any source of a speed boost?

TBH, in HM the Stormclouds spawn is more of a chance/luck thing, if its bad just resign and it will take you outside Bogroots.

I'm having real problems 600ing Rragar's, using hero smiter and QZ ranger(is this really needed?), and basically I get to the first group, SB and prot up and spam spirit bond but they still kill me...help?

Oh yea and a Grail, but thats not worth it.

I can't handle the stormclouds on lvl 2 bogroots : /

If i was running ppl then i could get them to like..... place a lot of enchants on me just anyone that lasts long.

Okay im reeally having trouble with these stormclouds somtimes the spawn is so bad theres about 10 of the buggers flying around..... if u ever come back from your ban D could i ask for a route around the stormcloud area? the safest way. I did try using a hero to spam enchants over my SF as much as possible but the 2 times i tried the spawns where so bad they ripped through 8 enchants + silver armor + shadow sanc O_O

How are the drops from the chest in NM? and is the frog sep a very rare drop?

I've been able to do this run, from Doomlore to end chest, in 35 mins (that was with Ranger/A though). In theory a Perma Sin should work just as well if not better than a R/A.

Anyone got any ideas how to 600/smite Destruction depths? id thought i would ask here before i try anything myself.

From what i seen Mantra of Resolve is needed for destroyer of deeds. Possibly Arcane echo Spell breaker as there is a lot of enchant removal. Mist vets bring IW which means they take no dmg from smite bonds so possibly remove enchant or some 2nd hero to take care of these guys. hf making the build


Note: yea i know its not a dungeon per say xP

As I have troubles keeping my monk hero alive while doing CoF I thought
I'd give the mesmer one a go.. but I noticed the template code put 12 in Fast Casting but 0 in Smiting.. wich needless
to say made it impossible to kill anything.. or am I missing something here?
But after changing to 12 in smiting it works great.. far better survivability for the smiter.

did Expunge enchants not like... own you? i suppose u cast the visages before entering the mob and then recast them once there removed really quickly? : / after all Famin is not really needed on teh undead so im guessing cover enchants.

Nice builds, Saft... I was able to fight Taskmaster Bellock, but my stupid heroes aggro'd them to the Res Shinre, and I was kicked out after that xD

Try using ur spirit spammer to clear the Mists i personally hate the little buggers and can't seem to kill any as for scourge just keep in mind how many there are in the mob and when they used SoJ. If u time it right u can get SB/PS in between KD chains pretty easy. As the AI only uses a KD skill if u are stood up and with the casting time it should be possible to get a SB/PS in. IF they spam it however which they can do just.... live with it .


@ Op

How come my Vloxen build which was posted months ago get ignored?

Oh well lol


as i said before 2 600s are props the fastest/safest way to do it one with Can't touch this for 3rd lvl and mantra of resolve 600 for 1,2.

i dnt see you running the 3rd lvl safely with just those cover enchants.

I have a question for the cof run. I don't think that the mantra of resolve/ sympathetic visage is really necessary since spiders don't interrupt any more, and the only real problem seems to be the occasional enchanted hammer with a knockdown. I was curious, what build for mo/x would be best for quickest most efficient runs? I usually try to run with Light of deldrimor in it's spot because all the undead can be taken down quicker.

But I was just curious if there was any other skill choice that would really speed up cof times or any general advice (besides obvious taking multiple groups at once and what not).

Pretty much the only time I have died have been when I got a hammer bash and got knocked down right as spirit bond ended. Usually you precast shield of absorption just before aggro and the daggers haven't ever interrupted me before. I do have a rt/mo but I find it too much of a hassle to always wait for the smiter to regen energy for each spellbreaker cast.

I just wasn't sure if there was any other pve skill that would greatly improve the speed of the runs. But I guess it's just pretty much getting used to the run and doubling up on mobs.

No wait times, longer recharge compared to GoS. Human smite would be best w swiftness (energy hiding)

watch your SoA and SBr casts. I suggest not casting SBr on the soul (for some reason he doesnt like chilblains that much), however cover PS with SoA and sb, and get your timing so you cast SB about 5 seconds before Fendi Nin spawns, and as soon as that happens hit SoA and you should be fine, then some spam of sb and repeat . Takes 8 respawns if you pull him to the flame jet.

Has anyone got any idea what the build is for Rangers to run Cathedral of Flames?

I've seen a few rangers run CoF and wanna give it a shot myself.

maybe something like - [protective spirit][Shield of Absorption][spirit bond][Whirling Defense][greater conflagration][storm chaser][dwarven stability][optional]? seems logical to me but idk..
