Smiter

So building a smiter.

I understand the build except the order to max the skills. Also, do I just find the gear with the most cb in it as I'm leveling?

yeh dont max smite and syns or IM will hurt. Get crushing blow, 1 in all auras. then whatever you want.

depends on what you want... no dmg and huge cb or good dmg with decent cb... to me, these are the 2 ways to build a smiter.

Smiter is a very initeresting build.. and fun... i have one lvl56 based on dmg and it gets really good dmg and rapes bosses as well as you take care about IM.

Griz cadeus with full crushing blow runes (whatever they are).

Well I've already maxed smite soooo I suppose I'm going that route.

Pretty much a merc build right now, I can't do any dmg.

build for dmg smiter is:
HS fanat Smite Defiance... and dunno 1pt wonders

u need combat gcs and with a good gear ull have around 25k dmg or more endgame

you must use a holy craft flail (yes flail..to get health since u dont leech and also they have a chance to get crushing blow mod) with 4 fals and if u manage craft a redemp ctc-amp wep u got ur endgame wep '-' (4ber'ed redemp flail with ctc amp yesplz... 18% cb ^^)

early on game i did pretty good with mine cuz i was teamed with a HoW druid ^^ so my dmg was pretty good. but if u want to be strong since the beggining, use a holycrafted shield (lvl2 might aura on equip) and use another aura for extra dmg (stack auras ftw)

thats my 2cents '-'

EDIT:
just checked mine and he is doing 3.5k dmg at lvl 56, he is very +skills-dependant since HS is what gives most of the dmg... mine is using the following gear:

Najs circlet (3 emerals dont remmenber why... its maybe for max block or something)
redemp flail (with 4 fals)
lvl5 might shield (2 skulls 2 diamonds)
duress armor
gtoes
magefists
lenymo
x2 pally rings
saracen ammy

pretty fun and strong char for normal difficulty.... never had time to get to nm so dunno much later on game

Great post thanks man that helps a ton.

What do you think about order of putting skills as i level?

Wolfs · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2010 9:32 pm

jeje a kind of selfish skill distribution to have some dmg... i mean no auras etc for party support. max smite and then save the skills till 28 (HS), then start maxing HS and keep saving those skills... once u hit 36, ull keep maxing HS and Fanat simultaneous. once u get fanat lvl10 proceed with defiance '-' defi gives more ed bonus to smite (fanat is only 13% per lvl).

try to have a decent merc to help you with trash... perhaps an a3 light/cold or a1 phys.

Yeah my a1 is kicking butt atm, but I lack gear past a certain point so might do the a3.

frozen orb is the ultimate boss killer, the orb explodes and hits so many more times. mega damage, thats all you need.

Aim the counters away from the party and don't get hit yourself. It's quite simple.

Back on topic.

Adding points the defiance doesn't seem to be changing my dmg as fanta is doing.

damage boost from defiance is not listed. Still, i personally think its a bad route to take in maximising damage of the pallys counter to Iron Maiden.

whatever floats your boat man. don't let me stop you.
Even without maxing the smite damage my smiter is able to do this below without having my iron maiden counter screwed.

Why have only cb when you can have cb and high dmg while being CI?

PureRage-DoD · **Joined:** Mon Aug 31, 2009 12:33 am **Posts:** 4291

then you lose war and dr from the shield, and one blow from the los bosses will likely kill you.

mmhmm fanta definitely still helps

PureRage-DoD · **Joined:** Mon Aug 31, 2009 12:33 am **Posts:** 4291

the notes refer to non skill IAS. Ie. BoS and fana still work with it.
