smite

was chatting with a few friends at work and a smite pally came up. told them all about it and what eq i was wearing. one of them said that smite pallys suck. also said that deadly strike don't work for smite pally. im like aaahh...

here is my build that im trying to do.

gullianums face or what ever
highlords wrath
fort armor
lacerator axe
hoz uped
gore riders
laying of hands/life tap gloves
crendemdum belt/trang belt
all resist rings/raven/dwarf/wisp



also i have been messing with certain items. like i found that when i smite with the lacerator equiped amp dmg goes off. so what if i equiped a static weapon. would i be womping down on bosses? and would life tap go off and i actually leach life for a change? and does deadly strike work for pallys?
