personally i always preferred spirit on a v/t, i know the smite dmg is much worse but i didn't use smite for dmg. i used CB and OW and then had decent charge dmg w/ decent FoH

all playstyle preference tho. smite is one of those skills that is not respected but is still good in many matchups



For vt vs vt, spirit loses... if you’re not teleporting the 2/30/20/2 w/ other Mods would be ideal

2/30/20/20life/5rep/2soc/res would be sick... can that spawn? Looks fine to me.

Vt vs vt 80life/3x sol>

Only thing e reps are good for is to stack def vs barb.


Vt vs vt 80 life/3x sol are commonly use'd and great for the amount of dr they provide, but you don't seem to get the idea that fhr is still very much important.

And you're right eth reps are really good for vs barb, one of the most devastating match ups for a v/t.

If your goal was to get fhr then you’d use spirit, fhr is negligible especially in SvS, the skill auto stuns...

you basically are teleporting if you're synch charging constantly where the mana on spirit allows to constantly charge. w/o it you wont have the mana to do that. although i suppose you could run dual spirits on swap with medi hard pointed, or even spirit with a holy shield medi stick on swap might be enough. w/o sojs tho def not imo

i dont enjoy a pure smite v smite matchup with very few charges, but the cat and mouse game with a lot of FoH can be more fun. Trix used to play a mean v/t in that matchup vs my shocker. could 5-0 or 5-1 me consistently w/o matches even being close. also 5-0'd like 4x barbs in one tourney lol

Trix was the only good v/t to ever exist

Nobody remembers him though

He brought terror to Marble and so many in tvts

The ideal swap wep would be foh/conv/medi... but I don’t think you lose many stats hard pointing medi either... the barbed shield just out damages spirit way too much for it to not be used in SvS m/u’s

i think its already been said here that at face value a v/t @ 30 does not look amazing, but in tvt, when played by a very skilled player, it can shine. most of us have been around the block to have experienced this at least once.
in terms of the shield, and again, i never liked using paladins, i can understand Op's comments re: rare shield, but for tvt, i honestly see no shield better then spirit, exactly for the reasons outlined by snipa ( :love: ) spirits versatility benefits outweigh the alternatives (of which there are few).

its probably fair to give v/t medi if not using a spirit shield, at least until until the player is proficient enough with the playstyle of a v/t
