Skills:20 Smite
20 Holy Shield
20 Charge
20 Fantacism
1 Resist Light
1 Salvation
Rest into vigor
Attributes:Strength - 0
Dexterity - Enough to use grief pb and maybe 20 extra dex if you plan to use grief pb with sorb gear
Vitality - All into this after you have enough dex to use grief zerker
Energy - 0
If you do decide to use sorb gear, you will obviously not hit the fhr bp, you will still take damage but not as much as if you wore no sorb gear, and your % max block will decrease. I suggested to put 20 more into dex or until you get max block with your sorb gear.
Also, I use two different CoAs just in case you guys are wondering why the light and fire setup is different from the cold setup.
You should be around level 80 to get every skill, I'm lazy to add them all up.
If you'd like to duel against my smiter, just ask.
Future Tests/Updates:- Testing to see if resist cold and resist fire aura helps when using cold or fire sorb gear.
- Useable on all realms and on ladder
