So what's the deal in Bowa vs Smiter

I can't seem to kill any decent smiter with my bowazon, i only run like hell and hope i have enough space to fire some ga's but most of the i get cought (desynch). So what's the deal in getting a decent / good smiter down?

there is no way you can do that im afraid:undecided:

maybe it is smart to stand behind a pool in the bloodmoor this way it takes longer for them to charge you :wink3:

Soon as I see them turn towards me on the automap, I start spamming. I try and stay off and away from other chars, so I know that he's coming at me. If I wait till he's on screen and he charges and i haven't fired yet, it's usually too late. Are you using KB gloves. If not, you have to get ur hands on some 20ias/knockback crafted gloves. There's no choice in that matter. Once ur ga's catch him, he'll get pounded all to hell. Usually for me they're are attacking my decoy on the automap when i start letting the arrows go. Also, do you have a level 16+ dodge and evade?

When they're on your screen switch to eth titans and throw lf at them.
yes this is the best tactic. eth uppg titan together with forti does amazing damage try that tactic. run,throw,run throw and so on works really well against smithers but you must invest 1 point into Lf. cause it has IT'd on it.

Here is another point. Use Marrowalks and cast Bone prison on yourself :laugh:, so he cant get you, if he have enigma, you are pretty much doomed.

Any good bowazone uses crafted gloves with knockback.

Hmm, i tried passive ways, like running spam running spam but that doesnt seem to have a constructive way of killing smiter. guess im gonna try a little bit of hybrid action on my ama and put 1 point in LF, guess that would be enough for this AvA. (?)


ps
tnx for opinions

7fpa kb ga spam, till he's somewhere near you. beware of desynch and expect him to be close, learn the general speed of charge and learn when he will make contact.

Don't even bother running. You cannot outrun a smiter's charge. Switch to etitan's / SS and if he is about 1/4 life, there is a very decent chance you can LF spam him to death.

Whenever he closes, switch to the block and keep moving. It is insanely hard to land charges on zon that does this, and if you keep moving, the smiter can't smite you.

Use lightning bolt/fury to kill him.
