Kira's doesn't work for ut. Nothing but guillaume's does.

3pc amulet is a waste. Mara's aint that great either. Any 2pala/stats/res amulet > mara, and I'm not talking about any expensive/duped ones.

Eni isn't the greatest of options. Duress is the best option in my eyes, followed by Lionheart , Fortitude can work too. Enigma is "viable" but there are much cheaper and better options overall.

Your main weapon choice is horrible, and ofc you've made that mistake like 99% of all d2 players / jspers who think CB is everything in UT, and completely neglect raw damage once CB has lost its effect.
Seriously, the crappiest grief does 10 times a better job.

Only HoZ is viable here, and the poorest man's choice can be a 4-pdiam elite shield. If you can get sanctuary, you can get hoz, so go for hoz.
Rings: only 1 raven is needed for the cbf.
Didn't get this:


What are you on about? The dex is nice to wear grief pb without investing so much into dexterity, but that's about it. Save that last ring slot for a dwarf or a wisp.

Rare or crafted belt? Really? How about a simple strings that kicks the hell out of everything that you've written? If not then arach for skill and slow%, or even dungo which I don't really appreciate but I'd take that over any craft. %OW on a belt? Against the ubers? Really unnecessary.

Gloves should be always dracs, to keep the LT flowing, after you've casted it initially from your wand switch.

Lol'd at your boots. Goblin toes > Gores. Period.

Switch should always be LT wand, you can pre-bo if you want, but totally unnecessary if you should have the common sense to pre-LT with a wand.

You can always have an extra friend in your ut picking up the torch, but I guess that %CTC might cause a game drop, so that's the only thing I might agree on.

20 to meditation is quite useless, just use pots and as far as HP goes you'll never lose it under LT.

All in all, I didn't add anything new that (smart) people weren't aware of 2 years ago, and my suggestions are far superior and far less costly.

No offense, this build fails. Hard.

Sounds like a nice build. ive had a smiter with the stuff everyone uses like Grief Exile ect but you got me curious about this build

Also ive seen people posting that they have tryed your build and all got good comments about it. So for the people who complain all the time. try this build for yourself.

Im gonna try this build too and if needed replace items.

eitherway you gonna need lastwish or exile for the LT ( or a wand )

as for armor you could replace Eni for Duress you get OW that you have on crafted belt so you can replace it for strings et. Dunno if the stats is the important thing on the belt? Ill try eni first though




No Complains try before you judge.

Watched your video you did it pretty fast indeed wanna see Video's of faster encounters ( someone claimed to do it in 10 secs straight )

Now im gonna collect the items needed for this exact build and gonna try it out for myself

it really looks like a nice and fun build. Good job Thanks in advance

Pretty solid gear juste for the helm you should just keep guillaume visage not kira

good guide, but you should take exile for better life tap.
I use top1 ladder exile atm.
You should put some points to elemental resists auras (passive stacking max resists)

y not get a insight merc for med?

Cause he'll die in ~5 seconds.

And Eywa's guide should be the standard for any ut smiter anyway.

where can i find this guide? =)

In the PvM section of my notes.

9/10 for guide.

hl is cheaper and much better to use the ias for salvation setup vs mephi, either that or a pala amu which isn't expensive at all.
duress is proven to be the best armor, offering extra CB and OW to a grief setup.
lw isn't "nice" for any smiter setup.
ow actually saves you a few seconds from countering regeneration from mobs, so it can be translated to "damage" since it saves you from dealing with it. crafted belt is just a joke. dr/mdr on a belt >
did you even read? I specifically said goblin > gores which he uses, you just repeated my point and thought i said gores>goblin.
if you value useless ctc lifetap which is reached through lt wand (which is used only primarily at the beginning of the smiting sequence) and damageloss items such as last wish and exile, you shouldn't be giving advice about ut smiters. using cta only proves you know nothing of ut builds.
meditation points are useless since you don't use it anywhere in the time it takes you to finish the entire ut (less than a minute).
