Hi I’m trying to build my first Smiter to take on organs and torches and having a really difficult time. I’ve looked up guides and tried to follow them but still can’t kill properly. I must have missed something or be doing something wrong.

This is my current setup….

GFace
Highlords
Grief pb
Coh
Exile (royal base)
Dungos or Tgods
Dwarf
Raven
Dracs
Goblin toe

I have low damage and health I think. I’m 1.2k smite and 2k hp with buff. But really struggle to get the organs I don’t even want to try the Ubers yet.

Should this setup be good enough, am I doing something wrong?

Do you have max block 75%? Is your resists 75 on all? Is your shield +45 all res eth base? Imo vortex St or Kurst +45 all res eth base or ideal. Your gear looks good maybe soe for belt. When fighting ubers swap dwarf for wisp or wear tgods. Try to fight the bosses separately. Mephestio last and swap aura to salvation for their conviction aura.

Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear, I know title is confusing. I haven’t even reached Ubers yet, I’m talking about the Organ bosses right now. Trying to farm to be able to do Ubers but I’m having a difficult time with that and doubt I’ll survive Ubers.

I am 75% mb. 45 res Royal shield. Only because I didn’t have vortex or St in 45base.

My res are only at 70 with this setup except for 80 lite or 90 with tgods. If I ditch the GFace and use Kira’s I’d be max res.

I’m not sure if that’s the problem though or not? I’m 70 in fire position and cold. I’ve tried chugging antidotes and thawing first as well and still seem to get destroyed against Lilith.

What am I doing wrong then lol :cry:

I’m not max res, I’m only 70 all and 80 lite. Is 1.2k smite damage enough. And 2k life with buff?

Is it that maybe life tap on your dracs and exile isn't triggering in time before she smashes you? I use a life tap wand so she is life tapped for sure from the 1st hit...

Yeah it definitely seems to be the life tap. I’m using 8 dracs plus exile. But seem I can only take 2.5-3 hits before I’m dead and I don’t seem to regain the health quick enough in between hits. My pb is 40ias plus GFace has 20 so I’m at 60ias.

Right forgot that 20… so 80ias 1.2k smite dmg but I think my base is non eth. I don’t recall maybe I need it in eth base? I did too quick for this setup and don’t regain the health from life tap to be able to take enough hits from Lilith and the other bosses
