Ok thanks for help.

When playing pubs ( dont wanna waste charge on every duel) and not fighting light dmg char am I suppoused to use bk?

Kinda funny that he mentioned both 80 total resist and 45 base, considering spirit always gives 35 to all but fire :P

Shouldnt I also look for Enhanced dmg on the targe? Its suppoused to add to smite dmg according the smite info topic on stickies.

I know its an option the question is if its good or will I loose too much life from using Arach, ber, Mara instead of Verd, rare jewel and 2 sk 20 fcr amulet... If its not good I guess I could find a cheap one with almost no adds.

Another question: If I cannot afford PC skillers with over 25 life, would it be beter to use small charms with life and resist instead? ( Could find some 18 life 10 res or 17 life 4 @ pretty cheap)

Id go 45 res base on the targe, you want your smiter to be a tank and have MASSIVe stack.

As for the PCombs question, in a previous guide by Camden, he seemed to do pretty well with 37x 20 life/5s scs. Althou I can tell u the dmg you loose is quite significant if you dont use pcombs

Okay so Im almost done gearing up, have a little dilema about the jewel in coa:

Since % ed from all equip but weapon adds up to smite damage, wouldnt it be smart to look for a jewel with ed? Could get one sc with 5 fhr, and look for jewel -15 req 2x or 3x ed with some resists or dex, wouldnt that be beter? Also, what resists am I suppoused to look for in the jewel? On one hand I need fire resist because of the lack on spirit, but there are more lightning users that use rbfs to reduce my resist...

So basicly what should I look for in the jewel?

Also about the inventory, would it be beter to look for scs with all resists, or with high fire / light / cold resists? (not planning to keep more scs in stash as I cannot afford and be bothered to :P)

Shadow scarab - 7fhr // repl 4 // 27fres // -15req - 55
Ghoul scarab - 7fhr // 35Cres // 10allres // -15req - 30

found those in an east jewel shop

for inventory you should get enough light resist to still have positive resists if you're LR'd in a duel against a trapper or a cs zon/trapper with a merc using infinity. cold sorcs you need to have a lot of stack

Playing Europe, I think prices are a bit higher here..

The jewels you stated have no dex, so basicly all they give me is the resist which I think I manage to cap without it... Why not use -15 req 40 ed jewel instead ? (Already got one offered cheap in game)

dex is to save points for mb, it's not really needed, most important to get 7 fhr and -15 req with good resists

Anya + Torch + Anni + Spirit + Coa + (did I forget somthing here?)

30 + 20 + 17 + 80 + 30 = 177 ( considering I use some life + fire res scs to make up for spirit)

Yeah I guess I see your point, lacking resists..

However, lets say I manage to get one of the above, I save about 2-3 inventory slots (of having to use 5 @ scs), so we could accually compare like: PC skiller vs. 40 ed jewel.

I dont know if I made myself clear, what I mean is that if I use -15 40 ed jewel I would have to make up for it by using 3 more scs, which means 1 less PC.

So I guess the botton line question is what adds more damage, 40 ed or pc sk?

(By the way, I intenionally didnt include cold res from jewel, cuz cold mastery reduce by about 250 so what difference would that really do)
