you've found hr for your enigma or grief? they are duped as well

idc if your vt is 100% perfect or his v/t... It's still a stats whore war(yes its bolded^^). when it come to dueling it's an other story. I dont use perfect and i would pay to find someone who can beat me vt vs vt w/e the rules(hell, nm etc)

haha thanks

and best of luck if you try it

15hshield>15smite
it's a t/v other than that

the damage added from maxing smite is so close to that of maxing holy shield that its not worth it. however, maxing holy shield adds another 4000def that maxing smite does not.

this was already proven in a few previous posts...

and yes... it is a T/V... it says so in the introduction paragraph...

Test was done like this:
made 2 builds exact same gear (both had 0% crushing blow)
only diff was one maxed holy shield, and other one maxed smite
they were then both placed next to each other and traded hits (taking turns for who hits first)

I've seen your screen after I posted my comment.
when I say maxing site is more beneficial I meant actual numbers, not trying hit-by-hit testing.
It's 1k dmg difference before any penalties IIRC.

actual numbers on screen shots max holy shield does more (however max smite has more hidden boosts - but its super minor and not worth the 4000 defense loss)

and the best way to test this damage is hit by hit to take numbers after penalties (no need to compare damage b4 the penalty because in pvp theres the penalty anyways).

i mean how else are u gonna compare them... specially since i didnt use any variables like cb that could throw off the results

Ok, so you make an "example" character with perfect stats on Open and call that "normal" or "standard"? Great, just great.

Also, your pathetic 5.5k FoH does slightly less than 150 damage against anyone with a TGod's.

As a BvC player, I find it absolutely great that you would recommend to FoH a BvC until they HAVE TO attack you. That means that we can just stand there and GA your ass to death, which is really amusing.

Also, wtf is the point of Conviction if it doesn't change anything at all? And hello, Smite gives more damage to your Smite per point than Holy Shield. A lot more at that. And what's with all the realm-specific dupes and the overall D2PKness of the guide?

Also, recommending hotkeys is idiotic since people use different setups and there is no proof that one setup is better than the others.

the numbers on screen arent actual numbers, they're bullshit.
I know CB might make a difference, but considering smite vs smite is usually 4-5hits tops, I wouldn't build mine around CB.
You can trune the numbers yourself, either with this:
