2nd Option

[edit] Usage

• Set heroes to Guard and let them do the job.
• Optionally, disable RoJ and manual it.
• Aggro and tank the mob while your heroes blow it up.

[edit] Equipment

• The best equipment for each hero would be a 40/40 smite set.

• Three of these can easily be crafted by Gertrud in Vasburg Armory or Telamon in Leviathan Pits.
• Droknar's Smiting Scepter and Droknar's Focus could also be used.
• Farrer will craft a 20/20 smiting offhand for 5 Azure Crests and many weaponcrafters can make adequate smiting rods; however, no crafter makes a perfect 20/20 smiting rod (you may have to settle for a HSR rod if you don't have enough money to craft one or buy the mods yourself)

[edit] Notes

• This build works best with 2 players and 6 heroes (all using RoJ); however, it can work just as well with heroes and henchmen.
• The damage caused by RoJ is armor-ignoring holy damage and is very useful in HM.
