Well, I did something like a few of the suggestions. I use Guilliames's (Ias jewel), Coh, a Black flail, 30 Mara's, Dracs, Arachs, a 3 diamond Gris shield, (6 BO CTA and Zak on switch) , gores and? I got my very first torch today! 3/13/19 Pally torch! Now? I'm key running with my light sorcy and almost have 2 keysets, so? Before end of week, I'll be doing Ubers again! This is a great guide, great place to get ideas and if you pay attention to what does and doesn't work? Great place to learn! I have to thank all of you for your help and ideas. ; *

What merc is good for a smiter trist or just playing?

Is this true? Can anyone confirm this? This the first I have heard of this.
Thanks

i wanna try this build, sounds good and cheap ( im quite poor).
just a question: can be good as weapon a razor edge?

razor edge (unique axe):175-225 %ed, 40 %ias, -33 % monster def, 50 %CB , 50 %OW

sounds good to me

Yes, its true.

May i suggest using Heavens Light 'Shael Shael'. More ias, small loss in cb, but not noticable, and you get more dmg (more hs and smite lvls), therefor more leech which is very nice
Then you don't need Highlord either, rather use mara if u can afford. If you cant afford that, use highlord, the light res is very nice vs meph

Also, you have absolutel NOOO use for the extra defense from defiance on an uber/trist smiter, seing 99.5% of the dmg done there is elemental. Rather use light res aura, cold/fire when that is maxed. Or my favorite, add to zeal, much better at killing those small annoying guys around pre-bosses


3 notes
1. The %ed vs deamons oh coh and lying of hands doesn't work with smite. As your using lw pb, you need the ias on both amu and gloves to get max cap tho. With this build, rather try to get gloves with 20ias, cb, life, res, whatever, much better
2. For ubers, you want goblin toe for added cb, absolutely NO need for the ow or ds on gores.
3. This is not cheap build as the topic suggests ;D


This build is mainly specified for Trist... sux on pre-organs unfortunately :/ you need additional help there.. Especially at lillith. The amp dmg, high speed and those bloody witches are really a bitch ^^


Sure, could work theres another scepter aswell, cant exactely remember name, thats quite good aswell But neither Black, that wep your mentioning, or Heaven's Light(My cheap favorite) aren't expencive at all, and should be acheavable for most ppl that manages to get a hold of a keyset =)

@all: Remember, cb doesn't stack. Meaning you cannot add them like you add res and get maximum like that. They count each item a pease. Say 33% wep, 25% gloves etc.. even if you pass 100% by far, they will still not hit every time, but the items can be so kind to give u 2-3 cb's on one hit (doesn't work, only 1 effects)


For more expencive builds, heres my (ex)items and explenation.
Grief PB (IAS doesn't matter at all)
CoH
Exile high res
Guillaume 'Um', @res/life jewel or 'Lo'
Mara
Crafted gloves: cb, stats, life, res (nn ias)
Goblin Toe
Raven 20/xxx
Dwarf Star/Whisp/BK (nn high)

Switch:
cta
spirit (doh)

Inventory:
life/res sc's/gc's (light>all>fire>cold)
Anni and Torch (Switch beteween those(only use one at a time) wether u do trist or dc)

This build is to make trist as fast as possible, plus i die far less with this build than ppl using more expencive builds (coa, lw etc)
With Grief pb, you will have all the ias that you need. In addition, you will do FAR more damage which is REALLY nice vs the end. With weapons like LW, its a total bitch when the ubers got low life. Grief to finish em quickly. In adition to this, you will have FAR more leech with grief. Almost fill your life with one hit is quite nice, especially if life tap doesn't cast right away. Also quite nice when having fun with all 3 of em at the same time
Use exile for casting lifetap ofc. Run'n'hit is really nice for speed
I'm mainly using CoH for the resists (since the %ed vs deamons doesn't work on smite), but if you got enough resists without coh, go for duress insteald. More cb -> faster trist

This is eZ 1-1.5 minute trist kill from u enter portal. Have fun with it =)

Hi, im new to the d2jsp forum!

ATM i got an Astreon +3 to combat skills, +85Dmg (shael'd). I want to know if i should use Heavens light, like Tiedemanns said in his post?

If yes, should I get socket it "Shael Shael" or "Jah Shael" for the "Ignore Targets Defence?)

ty

Edit : Or should I wait to get a greif when ladder reset?
