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.
