The difference between putting only 15 points into smite and putting 20 points in, and how the damage isn't worth sacrificing gear/points/etc. etc.

wait so is that calculation maxing smite AND holyshield or just smite and 15 holyshield?

It's calculating the difference between max smite + max holy shield and 15 smite + 20 holyshield.

I could go back and do 15 holy shield + 20 smite if you like...

edit:

Or we could even compare 1 smite / 20 holy shield vs. 20 smite / 1 holy shield

yea can u do that too? i just want to do a quick comparison to see because honestly i dont think 46 damage helps all that much more lol.

(i'll be going home now from work, so i'll sign back on in like 30 mins or so to check the post)

na cuz the ratio between 1 smite/20hshield and 1 holy shield/1smite is a lot different than if u compared 15/20 vs 20/15

191 - 194 (base damage on up'd hoz)
133-136 (lvl 39 holy shield)
400 damage from grief
724 - 730 damage

660% ed from smite (lvl 44)
200% ed from strength (200's a nice even number, it could be +/- a few points)
594% ed from fanatacism (lvl 33)
1454% ed total

=

11,250 - 11,344 smite damage (11,297 average)

vs. max smite / max holy shield:

11,561 - 11,655 (11,608 average) total smite damage

vs. 15 smite / 20 holy shield:

11,003 - 11,092 (11,047 average) total total smite damage.

max smite / max shield minus 20 smite / 15 shield =

311 damage

Goes to 51 damage from pvp penalty...

25 damage if opponent has 50% dr.



The number of skill points was based upon whatever bui's level is in the screen shots on the first page.

And yes, you're right about 5 more points in foh, but that's not what we were comparing earlier.

We're wondering whether it's better to have more holy shield (extra block and defense) or more smite (more damage).

Stop skimming my posts then flaming me lol.

edit 2:

And this was because you called me a moron for comparing on-screen smite to the actual damage. The fact is that the difference that exists is still the same.

y u almost made it my preffered full smite/hs/fana build so what do u want me to say lmao
u wouldnt stat so high smite without 99lvl so the difference will be higher for standard 9x lvl player

ps. anyway lol i would preffer 20smite over 19smite/ 1more into foh , like i said foh is easily absorbed and isnt a factor in most of the duels

Maybe like 100 damage, tops.

This is also using 9x pcombs btw, something a pure smiter wouldn't use.

Read this:




...in which bui explains why he goes with stronger foh (forces someone to use sorb / max light res / etc. and lose a valuable piece of gear).

And this:



...in which I explained that the difference from on-screen damage is about 50, that oddly matches smite's real damage not shown.

And this:



Because I don't think I've presented a false argument, but your rebuttal seems to be "y u suck lawl get good gg afk."

i somehow understood u were compering 2.9k dmg (on screen) 12 smite base lvl build to a 3.5k 20 smite lvl build

your calculation is wrong btw
