Yo, haven't played V/T for ages.

Now with the changes to smite dmg (% ed) and foh cast rate, what are the best setups? Is phoenix shield a thing now?

Looking for general eq ideas. Probably 75fcr breakpoint?

Phoenix would be bis for damage for sure. But mostly the same. 3 foh 3 conviction Cta swap for foh. Grief and Phoenix.

Rest is same as always!

Phoenix is pretty good now esp vs VT vs VT

Fcr - depends on matchup. Def want both knights + @ res ST spirits

And grief Z + PB depending as well

There is no “one setup” you have to swap depending if you need DR, fcr, sorb, etc

yeah i meant more like the standard pub setup, meaning decent res/fcr (75)/cnbf/dr% and damage and then swap in a tgods, arach, zaka etc here and there

also, raven? or cham coa

Phoenix is bis for dmg.
But you will struggle to hit 75fcr with 50%dr and cnbf.
Definately recommand to keep 1 in the stash when you dont require dr%.

Ber ber coa
3x ber 20 fcr diadem
Phoenix 45 all res and 465 Ed st base unless you go high Cb setup.
Gores or dancers
Dungo
Enigma
2 pally 20 fcr str/dex ammy
10 fcr 15 dex 50 life 30 lr ring or one with ar
10 fcr 25 str 60 life 90 mana ring or whatever
Bk/wisp/raven
Trangs/rends/Cb gloves
Grief pb or zerker

Your shield has your lr and fr sorb, so do whatever, a couple 20/5s, rest 20/11.

Everyone sucks on a smiter so just name lock them

There is nothing new with the dmg% on smite. What is new is that the firestorm from pheonix no longer interupts and slow down ur attack.
