lol, it's funny to read all these speculations of what's best what's not.
i solo with my SMITER. no need to fight for who gets to keep the charm. i solo 3 times already, no problem at all with a smiter. no need to share the charm. you kill them, you keep the charm.
Hammerdins can't solo, sorcs, necros, none can solo, i tried it, maybe someone can prove me wrong.. but i slapped on the smiter, it's not hard, but it's not easy, you actually have to use a little bit of strategy if at all, make sure you use a draculs and a fort, i have a phoenix on too, that helps alot, but not necessary. good luck.
