s/s was taken with waterwalks, but then i realized i wrote the guide with bitter brogues so i went back and photoshopped in bitter brogues as boots in the picture

its not that hard.... its a hoz.... my current vt on east at lvl 96 has 3.1k smite (so with ~35 pts per lvl, lvl 99 = 3.2k)



sanc is helpful vs bm and stack situations, spirit is a must have for bo


Hey, i've finished my v/t i like it, i've stated all vita and when i need max block, i'll use 2x Raven with zaka, i like it ^_^

i was considering going with the 3/3 foh/conviction CTA + reg HoZ on switch for FoHs.

Is there a reason you dont do this? I figure you lose 2 skills to BO (is that a big deal ultimately?) but i would assume the FoH would be much higher and it would increase your conviction a lot too. Then you can just do a weapon swap to FoH and switch back to smite.

Also I've been told smite > HS for grief users, but you seem to say different and you obviously know your stuff so I'm just curious if you could shed some light (sorry if its been discussed I couldnt read all 135 pages of replies)

Thoughts?

Awesome guide man, I've always wanted to make a good V/T and know I finally can attempt one.

what do you mean smite gives more dmg? i would still be smiting with up'd hoz and grief, just FoH with the cta/hoz switch (or with a cta/spirit switch) it will defintely give more dmg to foh, thats not a question, just wondering why people dont do it

whats so bad about switching? if i have foh/conv ready on switch isnt it just as fast as switching via those hotkeys? I obviously could be missing something so please explain whats wrong to me.

while switch-fohing you're very vulnerable to tele-stomping.. and you just can't switch fast enough to withstand a tele-stomp that's why..

ok so then the +foh+conv cta is a complete waste? im better off just going reg cta/spirit switch for BO and then just FOH with grief + Hoz?

and then i should do:
20 smite
20 fanat
20 foh
20 holy shock
rest in Holy Shield

right? since grief makes it better to max smite over shield?
