2 quick qs about smiter variant thx for answering!!

1. Im not rich so i am planning on using just an upped non-eth hoz is this decent for pvp or do I HAVE TO get an exile or eth upped hoz???


2. Whats a good combo with smite (only 60 points). Im thinkin of charge/smite?? or is v/t better? Problem with vts are that they need high +skills and gcs so I dont think i have enough of those

Btw: im in new ladder


thx for answeriing

There are alot of smiter exp. I am not one of them. From what you said. I would like to point out that Upped HOZ is the best smiter sheild out there right now. You need to know that smite is given alot of damage from any thing that gives you plus to skills. So plus to 4 skills will give you a f|_|ck load more damage then some exile. I will make 2 lists that will tell you what mods works with smite. Then I will give you a basic build from 1.09 that has been upgraded to work with 1.10 most likely there is a better build but this one should works ver most others.

list:
1. plus to all skills or plus to paladin combat skills
2. open wounds and crushing blow
3. plus to damage on these 2 weapons the redeemer and Astreon's Iron Ward.

Helm: shako um rune or 15% resist all jewel.
armor: upped shaftstop cham rune added
sheild: upped HOZ um rune added
weapon: Silence phase blade
rings: 2 bk rings
ammy: mara's Kaleidoscope
belt: verdungo's Hearty Cord
boots: Sandstorms trek
gloves: Dracul's grasp / Also know that bloodfists are a great pair of gloves.

With this setup you have 50% dr a very large amout of 182-192 resist all. Plus 10 to combat skills plus 6 to all skills. 20%-50% faster hit recovery. I do not know what are the best charms to use with this build. Also v/t are really good for player vs player. Make one of those.

O ya exile sucks A$$ hairs!!!!

well, 1. you could wait at least a day, or 2 hours, before shoving your questions at us a second time. o_o

and 2. a normal hoz is fine, and an upgraded hoz is even better. if you have an upgraded hoz then that's a very good choice. i dont think having an eth upd hoz is any different, just more def perhaps (i dont think it adds to smite damage), loss of a socket, and it'll eventually break unless you have a zod.... and exile was never good for smite, so dont worry about that.

smite itself needs those combat gc's so if you dont have a good amount of them then the build will be crippled pretty badly. i'd say try to go for charge after you max smite skills; but without the gcs, or at least 5 or so, you'll have a relatively low smite dmg and bad ar so your charge will be missing alot. But its worth a try, especially in new ladder where there's relatively fewer fully geared maxed out duelers.

And thx for answering my qs...my hoz is 194ed so I'll prolly upp that and im making a v/t, i'll mf another hoz and use it with hoto for foh..


Thx guys

Ethereal upgraded hoz loses defense due to shitty Blizz programming. Non-eth is better.

Use an upgraded non-eth hoz, best smiter shield in the game (though newbs will argue the benefits of Exile's LT in pvp).

Some choices of skill combos are:

Smite/FoH (V/t)

Smite/Charge

Smite/Hammers

Smite/Hammers/FoH (though I don't suggest this to you as I don't think you'd do it right)

Smite/Zeal (though this has lost popularity due to people actually needing AR now and not being able to abuse the Eth bug)

So yeah, 3 choices. You'd probly do best with Smite/Charge. Max your 3 smite skills, max Charge, and then max Vigor. Rest of points in Might, if you have any. You could also put a few in Blessed aim for passive AR bonus, but that's your choice based on equipment and your level you wish to stay at (chance to hit, really).

For a pure smiter, I'd do:

Astreon's (+4/85) Ber'd
Upgraded Hoz Ber'd
15% verdungos
Bloodfists
Enigma Archon/Dusk
Spurs, most likely (East duped rare, any boot with good run/walk, resists, +stats is great. Do NOT pick gorefoot as it's +vigor does NOT help you)
Raven / BK Ring
Harlequin Crest Ber'd
Mara's or a beastly +2 pala/+life/+run-walk/lifeleech/resists (or stats) ammy

On switch:
+6 CTA / Sigon's (for style)

Anni
10 combat GC's with +life
9 SC's with resist, run/walk, life, fhr (anything you need, like 1 fhr to hit the next breakpoint, whatever)

That would put you at a 47 Holyshield/31 Fanat/47 smite with CTA casted, skills in order of importance.

Keep your dex as low as possible to keep 75% blocking (shown with a mouse hover-over on the char stats screen [defense rating part] with holy shield casted) and strength just enough to wear all your ****, check by doing weapon switch. Do not use an elite CTA, as that's ****ing stupid and will make you possibly unable to pick up your corpse.

thx, but keep in mind that im doing this in the new ladder so i prolly wont get an enigma for a loong time and all the godly rares :\

I just figured I'd toss out what to aim for and what would be the point of using said equipment. Since you can't get an enigma, a Lionheart would be good now due to it's cheapness (relatively) and huge stats.

 

[Slayaboxer]

astron is not a good idea cuz it slows target :\ so charge wont be allowed and im planning on dueling in CH so im using a +3 shaelshael heavens light

and Im using upped shaft right now
