I am current working on my pvp smiter build, and I am curious about how important a 1% difference really is.

my setup so far:

- Grief
- upg Zaka (um'd)
- Eni
- shako (ber'd)
- Mara (currently looking for rare or crafted)
- crafted gloves - 20 ias / 2% LS per hit / 8% CB / 11 str / 6 dex
- perf raven
- Natures peace
- BB
- WW

inventory is 9 sks, 10 x 20/5 etc


QUESTION:

I am at 57% DR, and I am considering to remove the ber from shako, but how much will the 1% difference actually do?

My idea:

I am currently considering to remove um from zaka, and perhaps switch it into a ber, to pass the 50% DR, if the 1% is worth it. If the 1% is irrelevant, I consider either Jah for HP or some jewel of sort.

What is your thoughts about 49% DR vs 50% DR? is the 1% worth it or?


I know other things can be changed too, but right now we focus on the possible ber switch in shako and zaka.
Best regards

1% is 1%.
Its not worth it with a ber rune to cover 1%.

And yes, for pvp ur gear is currently 0fcr. So ur gear is not optimal for pvp.

Dear Gel,

thank you for ur input :hug:

I've tried to see if a tele smite was something for me, but I've found out that it is not. I highly relay using the charge skill as my 'moving factor', and I therefore chosen not to use and fcr ofc. Sorry that i didnt mentioned it first of all.

If you look at the build again, but now with the fact that I use charge, how would you consider the build? also feel free to throw me some advise on changes etc - i love feedback :D
Best regards

I would then swap enigma with forti and just keep the Ber in Zaka.
Then i would swap nature's peace with Wisp which also have oak.
Then i would swap mara into highlord.
And i hope ur using berzerker axe, not pb on that build.

There are better shield than zaka, but they are costly. Zaka is overall ok for ur build and tactic.

I would also consider using demon limb for attack rating.
And i would consider using a 2pala/adds/visio/2soc diadem with BERBER

Cause if you aint teleporting, make sure that charge hurts and actually hits, and also make sure u have the +2 range adder from berserker axe.

Dear Gel,

Thank you for the input once again :D

I definitely see the point that you are making, and I'll try play with some ideas and hopefully get back to you soon with how it goes ;)
