I am current working on my pvp smiter build, and I am curious about how important a 1% difference really is.

my setup so far:

- Grief
- upg Zaka (um'd)
- Eni
- shako (ber'd)
- Mara (currently looking for rare or crafted)
- crafted gloves - 20 ias / 2% LS per hit / 8% CB / 11 str / 6 dex
- perf raven
- Natures peace
- BB
- WW

inventory is 9 sks, 10 x 20/5 etc


QUESTION:

I am at 57% DR, and I am considering to remove the ber from shako, but how much will the 1% difference actually do?

My idea:

I am currently considering to remove um from zaka, and perhaps switch it into a ber, to pass the 50% DR, if the 1% is worth it. If the 1% is irrelevant, I consider either Jah for HP or some jewel of sort.

What is your thoughts about 49% DR vs 50% DR? is the 1% worth it or?


I know other things can be changed too, but right now we focus on the possible ber switch in shako and zaka.
Best regards

1% is 1%.
Its not worth it with a ber rune to cover 1%.

And yes, for pvp ur gear is currently 0fcr. So ur gear is not optimal for pvp.

Dear Gel,

thank you for ur input

I've tried to see if a tele smite was something for me, but I've found out that it is not. I highly relay using the charge skill as my 'moving factor', and I therefore chosen not to use and fcr ofc. Sorry that i didnt mentioned it first of all.

If you look at the build again, but now with the fact that I use charge, how would you consider the build? also feel free to throw me some advise on changes etc - i love feedback
Best regards

no, i don't think 1% is worth it. +resists or +life will help you out more

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your input

I've just tried throw a jah into zaka, and with bo, it adds 107 HP, so i am considering to keep it like this
Best regards

I would then swap enigma with forti and just keep the Ber in Zaka.
Then i would swap nature's peace with Wisp which also have oak.
Then i would swap mara into highlord.
And i hope ur using berzerker axe, not pb on that build.

There are better shield than zaka, but they are costly. Zaka is overall ok for ur build and tactic.

I would also consider using demon limb for attack rating.
And i would consider using a 2pala/adds/visio/2soc diadem with BERBER

Cause if you aint teleporting, make sure that charge hurts and actually hits, and also make sure u have the +2 range adder from berserker axe.

Dear Gel,

Thank you for the input once again

I definitely see the point that you are making, and I'll try play with some ideas and hopefully get back to you soon with how it goes
Best regards

Also forgot to mention that the modification gives you 80lr and 20% light abs on top.

You could also put jah on shako and ber on shield

Berber coa with dungos. Then have at it
