I didnt read all 20 pages of this, so this may have already been said.. You guys need to actually try these things before you speak. Coh does give more damage than the fort. On a smiter the plus 2 to skill add onto the smite, holys heild, and fanatacism all three of these add damage to a smiter.
I have a coh and an enigma in my stash when I duel with my smiter, becuase both have +2 skills and the dr I need to have max dr. A fort on a smiter is useless, dont even bother using it. I also think the shako is not a bad idea, but to get all the dr you will need to duel I would go with the coa. Exile and hoz is a toss up, i have both, but tend to use the hoz, because of its more uniformed damage. The exile tends to hit harder and weaker, where as the hoz hits at the same damage all the time.
As for the v/t, I have made one, but they are not as good as they used to be. People are smart enough to stack resist, and becuase of the added emphesis on the foh your smite is weak. So most stong chars like barbs and pallys will on v/ts. A pure smiter will take down a v/t in no time, becuase if you have you have the right gear on, the foh will barely even hurt and pure smiter willl use charge. The v/t wont even get off that many foh's, and the pure smiter's smite will always be supirior to a v/t. As for sorces the foh will hurt them a bit becuase of the low life, but they tele around so much, the conviction will never stick on them.
So leave this guy alone. I have built tons of smiters, and generally speaking he has this build correct. The only things I can argue with are basically personal preference things, that no matter what you say someone will always find wrong. Give the guy a break, he is trying to help out. His guide does not have any false information that I can see, so before you speak make sure you know what you are talking about.
300% ed gives way more damage than +2skills you stupid shitty wannabe.
retards "need to actually try these things" instead of trusting character screen blindly like fucking donkeys.
if you think v/t:s were better _before_ grief you're even dumber than you look and should slit your wrists asap.
you _do_ know what a v/t is right? there is no difference in smite damage between v/t:s and pure smiters.
this guide is full of shit. so are you.
"so before you speak next time make sure you know what you're talking about" nerd, k thx?
