Not bad. One minor detail though...

L20 smite is not mandatory at all. You deal enough damage to leech back full hp with a 1 pt smite, and since the majority of your damage comes from CB anyways you don't need it maxed. It only becomes necessary when aiming for the FASTEST uber slayer (and a difference of a few seconds isn't that big of a deal)

Might wanna do a separate set of calculations to see if Grief is still the best weapon for a 1-pt smiter.

Max Smite was filed as mandatory for that reason.

CB struggles to finish off the target in the end. Once the 75-100 % CB has done its duty, we want as much Physical Damage as possible.

1-point Smite vs max Smite
Gilded HoZ, HS: -[{97,108}*2.85] = -{276,307} (ø ~ -300) => ~ -240 to ADT (ÜMeph), ~ -150 to ADT (PDÜB)
Zakarum HoZ, HS: -[{123,126}*2.85] = -{350,359} (ø ~ -350) => ~ -280 to ADT (ÜMeph), ~ -175 to ADT (PDÜB)

Grief (+370), HoZ, HS: ~ -1100 to ADT (ÜMeph), ~ -700 to ADT (PDÜB)

It would still be pretty even between either weapon. But the 1-point comparison is really just relevant to a Hammerdin with Smite setup.

After all, this is a pure Smiter, and as such, there is no better alternative for those 19 points.

Though, I would agree on the time matter; not exactly a biggie.
