i need a good smite build. all i think i know so far is grief + draculs. im clueless on the rest of the gear

You just need lots of cb, stacked res, absorb:

Guillaume's Face (35cb)
Grief Phase Blade / Death (50cb) / Last Wish (60-70cb)
Fortitude / Enigma / Duress (15cb)
Exile (life tap)
Crafted cb gloves (10cb) / Dracul's
T-gods (lit absorb)
Gores (15cb)
Mara's
Raven
Wisp / Dwarf

Yes that bulid sounds pretty good, try it atleast!

anyone else?

What hazia said was about right, but i recommend a good verdungos instead of t-gods. You may also want to consider diffrent rings.

You need the +max res and absorb for tristam. Don't post here if you haven't even fought them..

You may also want to learn not to assume things. Ive fought them many times, and if you are a smiter, you dont need the sorb, if you have stacked resists w/ life-tap. Especially if you have points into salvation. Dont act like your better then everyone just because you have more posts. Thanks.
