I just realized by talking that the old average damage is 900 and the Phoenix does 1k average.

So technically you can go max foh or max charge and then just get 900 smite damage.

That’s makes Phoenix an absolute monster.

Here, I don’t wanna come back and play. This is how I would stat a Phoenix Smiter. I did this in my mind so it’s not perfect. I would get 900 smite damage with a 45 res 400 ed phoenix base and atleast 110 lr on my body. And I’d aim for 4800 life but nothing under 4500.


Vc stats

17 smite
15 holy shield
20 charge
20 vigor
20 fanta
8 points might


Vt stats

17 smite
15 holy shield
20 foh
20 shock
20 fanta
8 points conv


Main setup would be 4800 life and 465 ed phoenix 900+ damage (900 damage minimum with res swap)

ignore the incoherent rambling above

good starter vs all setups for v/t are


50 fcr phoenix
Griefz
45@ phnx st
Coa ias/ed cham
Enigma
Dungo
Trang
Wwalk
2/20 ammy
Fcr ring
Wisp

75 fcr spirit
Griefz
45@ spirit st
Coa ias/ed ber
Enigma
Dungo
Trang
Wwalk
2/20 ammy
Raven
Wisp

from there on you can have a 30fcr setup for smite vs smite with cb gloves, knights mod phoenix and stats ring or bk (gore riders vs. waterwalks, I don't really feel much difference in smite vs smite)

in stash:
stormshield, griffon, bloodfist, nature, dwarf, inferno etc.

stats
str gear
dex for mb with raven
rest vita

skills
max smite, holy shield, fana
alternate foh and hs

The truth is the life break points for smiters is 4500 and 5400.

I have a record of 59-0 in walk smite and no one has beat me but once with knockback.

So “phoenix” makes that average now 1k damage. That’s why your all 4 shotting each other with 4k life and your walking around like phoenix is god.

Truth is it’s basic math. The “spirit” shield builds above hit at 800 average smite damage and with them not having max dr they are taking like 1200 damage per hit.

So the answer is make any character with 900 smite damage and get 4800 life.

I’ve rebuilt a smite like 30 times and now beat up everyone 30 different ways.

I’m not gonna say it again. I told you all the truth the whole time. You are the bad people.
