Why is exile bad now? Haven't played smite vs smite since LOD...

Is it because phoenix is so strong with changes to firestorm?


Exile works good when you’re allowed to have 1 source of life tap, this is typically used with trangs.

You’re correct, the Phoenix is so strong now it can even out smite 5400+ life smiters with a 4500 life din.

Because firestorm was interrupting smite so it was utter trash.

Since that got changed phoenix is sooooo good, I mean up to 400ed with 45@ res or up to 465ed in melee duels is simply unbeatable. The exile user would have to constantly proc life tap which is obviously not gonna happen.

So even vs casters is a 45 res phoenix > 45 res spirit? What fhr bp do you try to hit with phoenix? COA + dungos = 40 fhr, is it worth using bloodfist to hit 48 fhr at the cost of trang's 20 fcr?

I honestly think 30 fhr works now with the changes to fhr.

Depends on your boots and gloves but generally yes.

27 - 48

The Firestorm from Phoenix will devastate a 10 fhr build.

Can’t target slow someone if they don’t stay engaged ;)

Lol just stop. Wws and treks are best for smiter, or if you have nice tri res they come in handy. Anything else is crap and everyone knows it.


I'm using gores right now and I really like it. Sometimes you get that lucky charge off and the cb + ow is nice. Can make up for the hp loss with some high dex rings with life. I have a couple smite rings ft if anyone is interested :thumbsup:
