What is wrong with this build? I'm curious, I'm not a smiter player and want to know what makes this setup bad (except no fcr and no spirit shield - I know ppl like it here).

you have 0% fcr, no lt, low def, low dmg, ba vs bvcs

so basicly everything is horrible


why would u use fcr as part of the main gear of a v/t? spider instead of dungos? trangs instead of crafteds?on a melee character ... ur dumb..
lifetap is in the bm build secondly, and the damages are not low.

4 points short will not make a difference. it will still take the same amount of smites vs a 5k life char. theres a range im sure where it would matter by 1 smite.
Your using charge not telport smarty...

it just shows he chance to block of 75%. my gloves add alot of def since they are in 106 str req gloves. AS of yet i havent even heard of a v/t in west that maxessmite instead and does holy shield last..


i know!
still, max holy shield is crap! smite and fana add alot more damage
they multiply hidden grief damage
400-400 grief (or whatever stats your grief have)
4-4 from 1hard point holy shield
xx-xx from base shield damage

15ed smite > 4-4base damage
grief works like 100 skills in holy shield! makes holy shield become crappy when maxing it!

but ofc dins are so ez to play, that 99% can fail (trust onscrean numbers) and still be good

Your knowledge is very limited, why even think about making a guide? :lol:

No FCR, wtf? Fohing on switch sucks btw.

Shitty guide.

why would you max holy shield last? it adds the mods damage IMO


@ the guide itself, you'll get wrecked with those kinds of resistances... 1 blizzard or 2 fireballs might wipe you out, but otherwise its decent
