For starters I would begin with a Shako helmet with a Pul or Ulm rune.

From there anything is possible if you try hard enough.

I one time 1 hit TPKO’d a fully erect Druid mage with oak sage type smither using a 500ed eth Thunder Maul.


Thanks Jerermy. For terminal items (non-starter), which items do you recommend for full item setup for charger with zeals?

thanks mate! btw can we use edeath cs or grief/death+ phoenix instead of your suggested weapons?


you want the highest damage possible and to stack deadly strike so that high damage doubles. some builds recommend glorious axe or decapitator

when hacks took over lod this was kind of a meme build that did so much damage you were dead before you could cast a portal. i have no idea if it even still works

Grief ba 400 dmg 15 ed
Highlord
Phoenix st 45@ 395+ ed
10 fcr 100+ ar 17+ str 13+ dex 60+ mana ring (pr/fr nice adds)
Trang gloves
Enigma
Arach
Wisp20 (oak)
Gore rider
Enigma scarab husk
Coa ChamBer

4 pc sks 40+ life
Some 18+ life 5@ sc’s
Few 20/11 poison/fire res as needed
Rest 20 life 36 ar sc’s

1 foh
1 holy shield
1 holy freeze
20 fanatism
20 charge
20 vigor
20 might
Rest into smite

Don’t rly need a 2 handed weapon tbh but you could take a death glorious axe 395+ ed on the side, the grief route is better and ur smite still hits like a truck cos of phoenix/grief

You could max zeal aswell instead of might, its actually very effective as multihybrid charge smite telezeal (zeal vs non block, smite vs block)

That's honestly prolly a much better build and why you don't see the poker anymore I'm also pretty sure with poker build you out every point into str lol

thanks for the detailed list of items. just out of curiosity, is it possible to beat pure smiter with this item setup? if yes, could you tell me the strategy?

You can yea, with charge and some smite, but you should swap coa to berber and arach to dungo

A good smiter will probably beat you as it’s not the most effective char vs a smiter

thanks for your input here. thinking charge + zeal but since zeal is inferior to smite when pvp with smiter, I guess we can only depend on charge when pvping with smiter.

Charger is a waste nowadays...

...make Libby ^^

Funnier and much stronger, 90% are 1KO if use just Grief + Phoenix + Forty + HLord
