COA, dual ber'd
stopped reading here.
change that to ber'd shako and I may consider carying on.
carry'd on a bit and saw 37x 20/5s.
I suggest not doing this, your damage will suffer.
My smiter, currently, is using 17x 20/5s and 18x 32020s.
Most smiters, unless primarily made for smite vs smite / vs phys chars, generally max(Aura-wise):
Fant
Resist Cold (blizzers can kill, good ones anyway)
10-20 Resist Lite
this means 37x 20/5s is seriously not needed..
you'll get over 100 res from lite res aura, then add in 17x 20/5s / gear, and you'll have like 300-400 res.
Edit:
If your a team smiter ,like mine, consider putting enough into convic for -100 - -150 resists, helps tremendously.
Y helo thar. Was that you or hec I spoke to in friggen earlier? :|
I agree in the typical smite build shako > coa anytime. However with mine it's a bit different. I played my smiter similar to how you played your barb with zerk, so keeping decent fcr and dr requires coa.
And you do know that 3/20/20's do not work with smite, correct? Only charge, which I feel a few +skills is more than enough. I don't recall the need to ever charge high-def chars.
The suggestion of actually -using- light res aura is indeed a good thought, but I enjoy the passive bonuses and keeping fanatacism. I only use 95% lr if mass sorbing, which in GM i obviously don't see a need for. Thus I rely elsewhere for stack. Also I prefer 1 into salvation. I've rarely heard of smiters pumping resist cold, to be honest. If stack was necessary to that extent I feel salvation or simply a 205 shield would suffice.
Indeed, it does help tremendously
. I recommend at the very least 1 point into it.
