The point I was making was that the damage between the two is negligible if you want to put the skills in other places.

I used on-screen damage because it's much easier to compare and look at than calculating smite's actual damage.

What people can take from that is if given the option between high-damage smite (even a 12 smite base compared to a 20 base...the difference is less than 100 w/ all the penalties) and more life, defense, block, etc. etc. is that it's better to go with the latter.



Maybe. But there's no smite calculator that I know of. I used the guide found in the link I posted.

Show me the right way then lol.

191 - 194 (base damage on up'd hoz)


last time I checked up'd hoz had 46-46

then why do you add holy shield ?

for lvl 99 maybe, but people will stat high foh on their chars and stop leveling on 92-94 (lets face it there are maybe handfull of dedicated pvp players who level their chars 95+)
so people will end up with 8 base smite not with 15 ... (add to this healing from lt and the difference can be important)

Because I'm confused.

lol.

OK! Let's try again, w/o using a picture conveniently located within the thread instead of trekking over to the arreat summit:

46-46 base damage on hoz
133-136 (lvl 39 holy shield) / 153-156 (lvl 44 holy shield)
400 damage from grief
579 - 582 (580 average) / 599 - 602 (600 average)

585% ed from smite (lvl 39) / 660% ed from smite (lvl 44)
200% ed from strength (200's a nice even number)
594% ed from fanatacism (lvl 33)
1379% ed total / 1454% total

20 holy shield / 15 smite: 8859 - 8903 (8874 average)
15 holy shield / 20 smite: 8997 - 9044 (9013 average)
20 holy shield / 20 smite: 9308 - 9355 (9324 average)

Pvp penalty and damage reduction differences:

20 hs / 20 smite and 20 hs / 15 smite: 37 average damage lost
20 hs / 20 smite and 15 hs / 20 smite: 25 average damage lost
15 hs / 20 smite and 20 hs / 15 smite: 11 average damage lost

...and now my head hurts etc.



maybe when i get back from a meeting i will lol.
