can this chara do good in svs..? tele smiter = fun
can we turn this into a v/t,,?
and does grief ias on pb even matter?
1) Yes I was very successful SvS, especially when you consider I was a pure SvA build. However I had a special smite v smite setup. In the main one listed, you should still do fairly well. My first ladder smiter only had 4.9k life with max dr but could win charge-start smite-v-smite easily. If you can lock fast and can break them, you can do well. Period.
2) If you so choose, but I would recommend following an actual v/t guide for that. Trying to mix my build with that would compensate too much in some places I would imagine, especially regarding resistances.
3) Yes, actually. Not in terms of hitting max ias, but if you duel a smiter loaded with slow and holy freeze, it's possible to still outstack it to have max smite ias. The more the better.

Nice guide, but I might suggest using a few high pcomb lifers, and using 20/11 lightning or cold res instead of 20/5s, seeing as how they’re duped up the ass.
Also I dunno if your tele-smiter is compatible with my 56k
If you feel that the damage output is worth the lifeloss, and that you can make up for the poison/fire res elsewhere, feel free. However I noticed that trying to divide up between 20/11's cold and 20/11's light will still not adequately stack up to 20/5's. And yes, perm 20/5's are expensive. This probably isn't the best guide if you just want a cheap smiter to mess around on ;]
And possibly. It would have been nice to see. However you're just as likely to hit 11 light damage as you are 56k, keep in mind.
