so you guys believe Fortitude would be the best option for the uber smiter? In the Archon plate base i presume?

Any elite armor that matches your str.

I'm not claiming my build is "best in slot" but it works great for me. I do torch runs in under 4 minutes. From time I join game, to time I've already hit save and quit. I fill my stash and part of my inventory with enough keys for 4 torches, and farm 4 torches back to back in under 20 minutes.
Last ladder I tried every possible build I found after scouring the internet for hours, just for fun, but its nice having my go to build.

max smite, max holyshield, max fana, 1 point in salvation, 1 in zeal, 1 in vigor for town travel + all requisite. that's all it requires. Rest of points spend how you want. My current smiter had 32 points left to spend on whatever. I dumped mine into my +max resistances.

My 94 sits with
2.8k hp
20k defense (30k if you max defiance for synergy)
80-85-85-75 resistance
max block

str just enough to get enigma on, I bugged mine with +20 str ring I keep in my stas
dex enough for max block
vit rest

grief pb
Exile in 35%+ res ebiug base (upped hoz also works fine, hell ANY elite paladin shield will "work fine" damage wise even a white one!)
guilliams
goblin toes
enigma
Raven frost ring
Dwarf Star ring
28% mara's
Dracs
Dungo's
Cta +Spirit in +res pally base for BO and teleport.

Four rows of my inventory are filled with random cheap +all res charms. This puts all my res at aprox 25-30 stacked over max. with +skills salvation gives me over +90 res, more than enough to be maxed or near max for the gruling 12 second uber meph battle.
I fill up with 12 keysets aka 36 keys, enough to do 4 torch runs back to back before refilling.

Only thing that I will change about my build before long, is after I roll anice crafted pair of gloves and a belt, gloves with 10% CB + other mods (dex/str/res whatever), belt with open wounds + fhr and str/res whatever. Thta's what I ran last ladder, not "needed" but why not.

I don't use a lifetap wand, I don't switch any gear. Just join game, pop 3 tp's, kill, pop trist, drag meph out left side, down in seconds and charge in on baal/diablo. Runs rarely take over 4 minutes unless lilith has too many uniques/champions in her room and I decide to kite, then runs could take 5 minutes.

I have never died other than when I FIRST learned to do ubers, I had to have farm at least 400+ torches last ladder.

I could live without my dwarf ring doesn't matter, the +max resistance don't matter I've ran with my extra skills in many different spots, even trying to get zeal damage higher when I was new and wasting my time zealing shit, its never NEEDED, but is nice sometimes for lilith ads. I've also ran lvl 21+ conviciton, works great, but it DOES NOT protect a mercenary or friend if someone else is fighting meph with you.

Gotta admit, a lil more FCR does sound kind of nice. I may have to play around lol... My hammerdin with 125fcr already drives me nuts after playing my light sorc

re-edit: I tried so many builds just to "See", from using a black flail with lionheart armor after treach prebuff, to a COH, fort, guardians angel.. Tried regular hoz, upped hoz, eth upped hoz. Tried grief zerker, grief pb, lastwish, various unique weapons wit CB. Tried 1 point smiter, tried this tried that.

Any shitty build will kill ubers, it's just about how fast, easy, and worry free you want it to be.

I do SINGLE player ubers. Just having one other person in game makes each kill take about twice as long, its horrible. Fuck "team ubers" they slow me down!

The + Ed to demons and undead on CoH does not work with smite

Ignore what I said about Tgods

^This is correct. SoE is the best belt

Don’t forget kira helm for switch when you face mephisto
Swap drac gloves for Loh if you’re using exile

Exile is good for PvP Smiter if you play against Barb / Druid and use 48 Fcr setup. Exile is also used at some Melee lagues, like Zeal vs Zeal where Life Tap is allowed, or Smite vs Smite tournaments where Life Tap is allowed, but tbh i don't know are there anymore those kind of lagues or tournaments where Life Tap is not banned.

e: There is not really any use for Exile at PvM, and for UT Smiter, only what can out Dmg Zaka is probably some Jewelers SR with ED% base and had to be soc'd with ED% / Str jewels example.
