aren't marrows good for smiter? don't they do life tap or something?

nah.. they only got charges.

Draculs and Exile will do the Life-tap trick wink.gif (Although I think it sux and am against it in every possible way)

So this guide is good enough to take out the ubers? i've seen so many, i don't know wich to follow.

I will 10000000% guarentee you this guide will take down ubers, maybe use fort over coh listen to them all, but coh still isnt a bad choice as resists are key with all mages and convicition from meph. fort for pvp, coh for ubers.

first of all some things u need to know about that gear and why some items suck here
quote: B.Net
-Smite always hits a target in range, so Attack Rating does not matter when using this skill.
-Smite does not work with Life/Mana % Steal.
-Smite is a weapon skill and thus is affected by Attack Speed (e.g. 'Fanaticism') and is not affected by Cast Rate (e.g. -of the Apprentice). Smite works with any "X% Chance to cast level Y (spell) upon striking ability on your weapon.
-Smite does not receive added damage vs. undead with the Sanctuary aura.
The Fire/Cold/Lightning damage added to attacks with the Holy-Fire, Holy-Freeze, and Holy-Shock auras do not add onto Smite damage.
-Smite can steal life with life tap cursed on target.
-Smite can also deal crushing blow and open wounds damage, but not deadly strike and elemental damages.

so the "sucks"
1.Armor: COH (not useful)
why a hell u need COH..ok u'll say me.."all res" right...or 200%ed to demons? but not useful if u tink about
-100% dmg to undead (fake)
-8% life stolen per hit (fake)

Good Choice
Duress
-40%FHR (yeah u'll need this!)
-10-20% ed (useful)
-15% cb (super useful)
-33% ow
-150-200% def (good)
-some all res

2.Helm: Shako (Um) nothing to say...(good)
-Damge Reduce
-Life
-Skills

3.Wepon: Grief (suck!) yeah dude! and im not crazy...
-30-40% IAS is all this wepon got! nothing else!

Good Choice
Last Wish BA
-10% Life Tap on Striking
-330-375%ed
-60-70% cb (oh c'mon! why a hell u need IAS if u can reduce the fukin demon life!)

4. Up'D HOZ (ok...good...but u dont need AR,dex..and...uped or not u can make several dmg!)

5.Ammy: Armageddon Slippers (bah why u need dex!)

Good Choice
Maras
-Skills
-All res

6.Rings: Ravens (gimma break dude! blink.gif )

Good Choice
BKs and nothing else! (and u'll do nothing with life stolen...but well nothing is perfect...)
-skilss
-life

7.Belt: Verdungos (good...nothing to say)
-VITA says all!

Boots: Goreriders (good!...but again...u'll do nothing wuith deadly strike...)
-10%ow
-15%cb

8.Gloves: Dracs (it works...since u dont hav so much strengh for Steelrend...but if u got use Steelrend for ed and cb)

9.SWITCH: (nothing to say...)

last things:
90%cb says all if u tink about Ubers! quicky and powerfull!

Smite ALWAYS does average damage theres no range in it no matter what the item says its AVERAGE damge so upped hoz is not better than Exile.

to the guy above me

grief is the best smiter weapon

its one of 2 weapons that adds to a smiters damage the other being a asterons

only items with +damage not +x-ydamage

blaze909... obviously you are not very good with smitters, since some of the comments you made are just dumb.

for one, your an idiot to say you do not need ravens. +20 dex and cant be frozen. twit.
also, shako is not best choice for smitters. + skills for a smitter doesnt add much dmg, compared to 15% cb from guillaumes face.
i agree that last wish is very good(with huge boost to crushing blow), but if you are in ladder, you will not get the chance to make one for a while. so grief is better for alot of reasons:
1) the ias, so pally can reach breakpoint
2) 400+ dmg.. no need to elaborate on it.
3) if its in a phase blade, no need to repair.
4) ignore defense biggrin.gif

also, considering maras is somewhat expensive, your better off just getting seraphs( +% vs demons, +2 skill and +2 defensive, depending on ammy) or metal grid(if you need res, get it and + defense)

the rest i will agree on you, these items are needed for a smitter.

coh is bad for pvp though, since you dont pvp demons

coh is good for ubers, thats why people use it and it does more dmge then fortitude and duress

helm depending on wut style of smiter
shako life, dr, its ok
coa is also ok with dr resis etc
guliamues of w/e is best choice for pvm, sometimes for pvp

grief does not suck
345-400 dmge very useful
30-40 ias very useful
ignores defence... very useful

shield
hoz is a good choice for average dmge
exile is aswell good, but depending of shield exile could suck alot and willbe more expensive

ammy, anything really lol

rings
you need at least 1 raven fosho if you are pvp
a good pvper will always have cold dmge unless they are caster

Belt
dungos best choice but there are some crazy rare belts out there aswell

boots
gores best choice, or rare boots

gloves
dracs you will need if you dont have exile( life tap is very important)

btw blaze u dont know much about smiter i'd say
ow/cb/ds are all that count, whats the point of having that shit when you do shit dmge?

Dont make a guide if you dont know what the hell you're talking about, simple as that.

Done defending your clueless lover?

I don't see why people get so worked up about this guide. Can someone tell me how this guide is so much worse than the other smiter guides here?
