v/t smite weap Q

[DarkXSavior]

hey is a 4xber+2xsheal zerk good for smite?
or is a ber'ed stormlash better ?
or r there any better smite weaps ?

You could do a 1xshael + mix of um or ber on a phase blade

But, you wouldn't need the shael in the phase to reach maximum speed if you got a piece of equipment that give 10 IAS or more, that is if you're using fanaticism lvl 14+ which i'm sure you are since you're a smiter.

So i suggest 5xber + 1xum or 4xber + 2xum with a pair of gloves like up'ed bloodfist.

The runes you use all depend on your style of playing, if you're a hit and run, you should try to get as much OW as possible, but if you're more reckless and just rush in, i think you should get more Crushing Blow.

This is just what i think, i might be wrong.

lol, your wasting your time. Phase Blades = Range2 which isnt that great. It also requiers 136 dex so good luck on getting that. As for the Zerker Axe, its Range3 but req's 138 str which isnt too bad but still high, not to mention your going to waste 4 Bers for 80% CB. Stormlash can get 53% CB but has Nadoe Striking of 20% for stuning and the nadoe does like 80ish damage a hit. It also has a max of 304 damage and 471 lightning damage so when you charge you really pump out a high damage hit.

Another weapon that works very well is a "Fury". This weapon can pump out 900 damage over a 8 second lapse just by Open Wounds. Its also got alot of damage and a nice AR Bonus for you to hit people. If you make it iin a Scourge, you can have a Range3 weapon.

Another very good option is a Rose Branded Flail of Quicknes with 2 sockets and 2x Ber Runes. This provides 40% Cb but has +3 to Combat Skills and Range3 with Maximum Speed. This weapon is extremely rare and i have only seen 2. It would probally cost you anywhere from 15-25 runes for 1.

thnxs for the info

[blckshdwdragon]

i did addresses these issues in my guide i wonder how many ppl bothered to take the time to absorb the info, on the topic matter not robo weapons dont produce the effeciency as the cheaper smite weapons and how versatile they could be, and ive had another strong talented player copy my weapon

[Vollstrecker]

I read your guide thoroughly (at least I thought so) and was wondering about a Robo-weapon for a while before I thought it out...

Maybe it had a SMALL mention somewhere, and I don't remember.

[Pekson]

This is off topic but reading your guide blckshdwdragon how do you end up wearing all your equipment with base strength?

[Endurack]

Very easy, Enigma pumps out alot of strength very fast and Maras adds 5 more strength. On top of that added strength we use like 18-20 stat Anni's so thats another high strength addition. Finally we use Herald Of Zakarum that adds an additional 20 to strength and then Shako pushes the fun +2 strength.

You must be talking an Enigma Breastplate or something similar.

I use a Dusk Enigma on my V/T...

[Endurack]

Enigma Mage Plate actually, only 55 Str requierment with the best look on a paladin and my Mage still has 1,072 Defense. My Paladin has a base of 45 str though since I constructed it to use Uped HoZ since it req's 142 str as well as the use of other weapons such as a Doom or Heavens Light. Either way my v/t still has 525 Vitality.

[Vollstrecker]

Poking along around 453 VIT myself, but my V/T is only level 80, and hasn't done any Tomes yet.

[blckshdwdragon]

mine is like lvl 90 and is 530+

[Vollstrecker]

82 now, and owning barbs with using Stormlash/Guillame's. CB makes a big difference...
