User:M47715c00l/Team:UW 55 SS Smite Farmers

My traditional 2-man Underworld farming builds. These are basically obsolete; recorded here for posterity.

= Mo/W Bonetti's Shielded 55 = This 55 Monk tank build uses Shielding Hands to allow attack hits from Smite Crawlers (triggering Sympathetic Visage and Ancestor's Visage), and Bonetti's Defense to block potential interrupts from Bladed Aatxes and Grasping Darknesses. The attributes were balanced to make Spell Breaker, Healing Breeze, and Protective Spirit last as long as reasonably possible.

Equipment

 * 5 superior Monk runes, including one duplicate.
 * -50hp Grim Cesta from the Cities of Ascalon quest.
 * +20% enchanting weapon, like a Totem Axe.
 * Wand.

Start
Put on a maintained enchantment. Wait until you have full energy. Repeat.

General Procedure
Pay attention to the compass. Identify patrols and plan your aggros. Equip your enchanting set. Press F to target yourself. Use your enchants before you move to aggro. Keep moving until you have gathered all of your planned aggro. Pull aggro away from patrol paths. Maneuver so the enemies are all on one side of you. Stay put after you stop moving. Kill Nightmares. Recast your enchants. Repeat.

Dying Nightmares
You should have Spell Breaker up already. Equip your wand set. Move so you have a clear line of sight to the Nightmare, and attack it. The Nightmare will die in 2-4 hits. Repeat for other Nightmares that popped at the same time. Switch back to your enchanting set.

Bladed Aatxes and Grasping Darknesses
Follow general procedure. Auto-attack to build adrenaline for Bonetti's Defense. Use Bonetti's before re-casting Healing Breeze.

Smite Crawlers
Follow general procedure. Do not auto-attack, and do not use Bonetti's Defense. Spam Protective Spirit and Healing Breeze during Shielding Hands' cool down for small spike heals.

Terrorweb Dryders
Follow general procedure. Pull groups together. Do not approach groups once they are pulled together.

Coldfire Nights and Stalking Nights
Follow general procedure. Pull groups together. Use Shielding Hands to absorb damage from Maelstrom.

Counters

 * Forgetting to use Spell Breaker, Healing Breeze, and Protective Spirit on yourself before you move to aggro.
 * Forgetting to re-cast Healing Breeze and Protective Spirit before they expire.
 * Forgetting to kill Dying Nightmares with your wand or spear.
 * Interrupts; this happens if the SS Necro is not using Sympathetic Visage and/or Ancestor's Visage on you.
 * Overaggro; not paying attention to the compass, and not pulling groups away from patrol paths.
 * Moving after securing aggro; this will cause the SS Necro to get aggro.
 * Auto-attacking the Smite Crawlers.

= N/Me Reckless Ancestor's SS = This SS Necro nuker build has both Sympathetic Visage and Ancestor's Visage for use on the tank, to allow faster spamming of Spiteful Spirit on Smite Crawlers.

Equipment

 * +1 Curses headpiece with +3 Superior Curses Rune.
 * Weapon set with +20% enchanting. This can be a staff, or a caster weapon plus offhand.

Start
Equip your enchanting set. Wait until the 55 starts putting on enchantments. Use Blood Ritual on the 55, wait 10 seconds, and repeat.

General Procedure
Pay attention to the compass. Identify patrols and anticipate the 55's pulls. Stay behind the 55, and give the 55 plenty of room -- 1.5 aggro radii is good. Wait until the 55 stops moving before assisting or attacking. Help kill Dying Nightmares. Wait until all other enemies are attacking the 55. Buff the 55 with Visages. Spam attack spells. Repeat.

Dying Nightmares
Equip your wand set. Move so you have a clear line of sight to the Nightmare, and attack it. The Nightmare will die in 2-4 hits. Repeat for other Nightmares that popped at the same time.

Bladed Aatxes and Grasping Darknesses
Follow general procedure. For mixed groups, use SS on the Aatxes.

Smite Crawlers
Equip your enchanting set. Do not switch sets between spells. Use SV/AV on the 55, not yourself; use SS on two different Smites.

The fast method is 2-4 seconds faster than the slow method.

Terrorweb Dryders, Coldfire Nights and Stalking Nights
Follow general procedure. Give the 55 extra room to pull. Visages are not necessary. For mixed groups of Coldfires and Smite Crawlers, kill the Coldfires first.

Counters

 * Aggro.
 * Following the 55 Monk too closely.
 * The 55 Monk moving after securing aggro.
 * Forgetting to help kill Dying Nightmares.
 * Forgetting to use SV and/or AV on the 55 Monk for melee attackers; this will allow mobs to interrupt the 55, and will make it impossible to kill Smile Crawlers.
