W/D Smite Solo

Due to the new Hundred Blades, a lot of farming opportunities have opened up for Warriors. The minute I saw the new Hundred Blades I thought about UW and how this might be used to farm Smites. This build that I've come up may not be the most original, but it utilizes the new Hundred Blades to farm Smites very effectively.

I'm looking for people to test this build a bit better than I did. Due to extreme lag issues and lack of favor, I was only able to test this twice, neither of which finished the run. I did get the smites and it killed a single group in less than 10 seconds. It's worth noting that the larger the group - the more Hundred Blades will trigger when using Whirldwind attack, causing for even faster killing. Though, it is worth nothing that I have not tested if this build is safe with mass aggro. My guess is that it can handle 2 groups fine, and possibly 3 groups at a time due to the high amount of damage this build outputs with large groups. Again, testers would be much appreciated as I don't have the time this week to test it properly. I can tell you now though, it works well.

Anyway, enough info, on to the build:

Usage:

Same general idea as most smite run builds - nothing out of the ordinary.

Get quest, aggro grasps, Enraging Charge -->

Use Hundred Blades --> Spam Whirlwind and Sun and Moon Slash when charged --> Use bonetti's if energy is needed and Natural Healing if some extra health is needed. Note: I found this build to be pretty slow with the Grasps, but it does extremely quick work of the smites - which is the important part.

Use Enraging Charge to run to the smites. If you don't know how to do this, you can go to pvxwiki.com and find a smite run build and the run should be covered for you there.

When at the smites, cast Rending Aura before aggroing. This is to get rid of the Smites "Shield of Judgement" which would be very deadly if maintained. If Rending Aura is not maintained, you should NOT attack. One attack with Whirlwind while the smites have SoJ will most likely kill you. If a grasp pops up run to it (providing its not in the middle of a coldfire patrol - if this is the case simply pull the nightmare away from the patrol) and whack it twice and it should die. When attacking the smites, try and keep up Dolyak Signet, and use Natural Healing when needed. Keep up Hundred Blades as much as possible and spam Sun and Moon Slash and Whirlwind Attack and they should be dead in a few seconds.

Though I haven't tested it, I'm 99% sure this build cannot, and is not meant to, kill Coldfire Nights.

Anyway, that's all. If you would like to utilize this build as much as possible before Anet (most likely) nerfs or changes the new Hundred Blades rendering this build useless.
