not really, you can still beat melee's, well just have a shako in stash and gore riders and draculs , thats not the big deal.

To add the the thought of an absorbing smiter, with a budget i would
definitly use Guardian Angel, it's cheap and brings all your max res to
the level needed for max absorb:D, but aside from that guide isn't too bad

... NOT TO MENTION THE BLOCK BONUSES WHICH ARE GODLY

1pz of stack > 1elemental :\

I didn't read it very carefully but I saw at least 1 thing that you've forgot:
hotspur > infernostride!

you should probably mention Umed Hoz and Guardian Angel in there.


As for the PSN, treachery for the fade is worth mentionning. and also for the Stacked Res. If you're going BM, might as well be very BM and Fade...


And if you really feel like being BM Gmerc. and use Rejuves lol

my smiter is pretty much like that but i think ether Lo/vex/ohm shako is better, skills/life and using treach to fade since all that sorb wont be gm..., also for maxed sorb using silence pb, 2+skills, 20 ias, 20 fhr, 75 all res, pretty nice stack, other than that its standard sorber

if you dont wanna use coh than u can use fortitude and last wish pb

fortitude gives +300% echansed damage

last wish gives - shade - which gives resistances

nice guide.

Why Max Block?

- LP

rofl 3 coas would be hella expensive, only element you really need absorb for is light cuz of hefty - res + convic and even then id rather somthing like a ummed kiras + wisp, for fire any of the sorb boots are good enough + a little stacked resist ( fire rarely has much - res). For cold you need MASS stack resists i'd recomend just a umm'd 70 res kiras, then use alot of thawing pots ( if u didnt know these give you 60 cold res + 10 to max cold res for a duration of 30 secs)
