even more reason not to use lw... did you read any of this or are you just posting?


I did, using lw instead of paying for charges or spending hour finding someone with a life tap wand, also i've never needed a merc it would just be even more costly for treachery.

are you comparing costs of a few thousand game gold to the cost of 6 high runes?
lifetap wand doesnt take hours to find, just ask malah before you go on the portal when you're leaching off baal runs, or like someone else said create cow level next to akara so its 2 steps away and ull have one in minutes, let alone how often you can find it on a rare dagger that just drops from wherever

read ancalagon's fanazealot guide if you ever plan on optimizing your zealer, he's in my flist, has posted many times in this thread and has a link in his profile

Why bother trying to fix a good thing?

Recharge recipe, anyone ?

Also, 97 or 105 LT charges are easily spent on a few runs (misclick, of course).

Besides, Dracul's + stacked resistances are already sufficient.

LW Phase Blade is the best weapon for smiting uber trist. And really, who cares about any other PvM play on a smiter?


definitely.

Oh, great that someone actually wrote this shit down. Been writing this same shit to dozens of smiter topics, I hope people will see and actually read it.

Yeah, lw is crap.

Last Wish does suck compared to Grief and it is retardly expensive early in ladder. It does work for uber trist though because it has practically all of your crushing blow and a second source of life tap on the weapon meaning you can near enough wear anything else you want. Seriously.

Can't afford a baller Exile? No worries - you can use your cheapy HoZ. You got life tap covered.

Don't have a dedicated pvp or pvm smiter? No problem. For 1 point smiters, Last Wish ain't half bad. It turns pallys that were never designed to be trist smiters into 'ok' trist smiters and you only need to pay for 1 item!

Does uber meph get you down because you have ass backwards resists and not enough points in conviction? Don Last Wish and now you can ditch guilaume's tin can and wear a real man's hat - Kira's tiara. :gay:

Tired of having to wear lots of gear with crushing blow? Using Last Wish frees up lots of gear slots so you can equip your pink thong of doom.

Its a weird weapon and in terms of rate of damage it is dwarfed by the almighty Grief but for alot of people it works and late in ladder its a relatively cheap band aid. But if you already have a decent Grief ladder smiter then you totally don't ever need a Last Wish.


this..

LW is for someone who wants uber killing material ALL in one piece of gear.. an uber smiter with guilame's, grief, etc will definitely be faster and more efficient, but requires more gear space than using a last wish..
