70 ish PvP Smiter

I have a few questions regarding the build and it's subsequent workings.

1)

I plan to make one to own a few barbs that think they are quite tough. This is HC so barbs with their life and Zerk damage are really quite popular. My gear is as follows :

Gaze (Replace with what, keeping in mind I'm not rich..barely off of food stamps in a sense)

HoZ (upgraded if/when possible)

Lacerator - 33% amp, nice speed and open wounds. Quite sexy. The amp is not considered BM...because it's hc dueling and some other stuff, but what ever. You get the idea

+2 pala Ammy - Gives a nice boost.

String

Raven + What ever. Maybe two if I see a cold sorc or some such

Gore riders - CB/OW

Duress armour (Depending on my mood, I might make a prudence armour..would be sexy to have a 2k def armour to go with that 600% def boost

This gives me around 2000 damage, 4000 when I get the person amped + what ever cb and OW will amount to. Ofcourse max block, 30%dr (yeah, I know) and max BP for the swing.

2) Did I calculate the damage right? Does it go (Sheild + Holy sheild damage) + (smite + fanata) or (S + HS + smite) + Fanatasism? Just curios.



Basically I dont know that much about the smiter build except that it really smashed the barbs in a hurry.

i think u are better off using a peasant crown and shaft stop.. the dr is quite the necessity, and so are +skills. gaze doesnt help a whole lot, and duress im thinking wouldnt either, b/c hc duels are short and sweet, otherwise the enemy will chicken/leave... correct?

and, instead of gores, u may want to see upgraded goblin toe, 25% crushing blow is a god mod to have vs 4k+ life barbs.. CB helps a lot, and its instant unlike open wound..

2k dmg doesnt seem within ur range without combat charms.. id think quite a bit lower without upped hoz.

but gl nonetheless :D

if your dueling any botd or good berzerk barbs have 2k+ life ready use a nature's peace. i think its smite+shield+hs+ fana im not sure.
tho. if you really want to set for kill have a deathcleaver on switch if you see them got amp and run go charge for the kill

helmet you should get a +3 combat with life and 2 socket if possible next best thing is shako and 2 socket coa and a +3 combat + life amulet would be better unless yours have dex str resist. i think stone is alot better on a smite r 60% fhr good defense and clay golem charges belt you should use verdungos

I think most barbs have at least 1 point in WW. If you charge, it's gg. Better off sticking with the lacerator smite with max CB.

no smite alone won't and probably won't get you a kill in hc against high life barbs unless he aims for atleast 3000+ dmg and get a few quick smites in with amp. you know this if you duel in hc. the charge is for when he got amp and start to bail to town. death cleaver + gore is 81% ds if they got amp its over for them if he got a decent damge charge. in hc its espeically hard to kill high life barbs and wolf/bear druids with high life + chicken you need some kind of solid strategy vs them

Let me rephrase my meaning of beat down barbs.

I mean make it so they are un able to fight and win. Basically keep screwing with them. Mainly a dueler and less of a killer character. If I wanted a killer I'm making a pure light sorc ^^
 
The reason you are loosing to barbs is your lacerator. It has 1 range. Having high range is very important when fighting WW Id say use the lacerator to amp the barb, then switch to a 3 range weapon. You will hit way more.

That's an evil idea senji. If I get owned I'll consider it.


1) yes the HoZ will be upped.
2) Yes, I can probably get combat charms (my friends are lovely)
3) I plan to have an eth headstriker + ATOD on switch should my target be amped...4x dmg is seks

That's evil...and it protects me from being zerked (heh, like that'd happen)
trust me you will get 1 hit by a good zerker if you got only 1k+ life despite smite got itd and knockback thats if you don't use slow

Get an astreon, you got your nice combat plusses, slow, cb and +damage that does not have the pvp penalty.
