Uber Smiter Help

Hi there!

I am new at the forum and i have a question regarding my smiter for solo uber runs.

i use last wish, exile, maras, gore rider, draculs, arach, raven and bul kathos and a set item winged helm which i cannot spell (something like guliams or so).

i am a bit concerned that my damage although fanatism is maxed out is only max 2k. will it be enough?

i am also having troubles with my resistances, but i hope i can trade some res charms.

thanks in advance for your help

Facetious|||Your build is all over the place and seems to combine 3 different schools of thought to a terribly inefficient build. You are using last wish which pretty much single-handedly provides all the crushing blow you will ever need at its worst possible spawn.

Im going to suggest a optimal set up using last wish as im sure others will suggest the damage school of thought.

Helm : Kiras Gaurdian - 70 All resists, Cannot be Frozen, 20 FHR, Ideally the socket should be 15Allres/15 ias jewel because phase blades with level 10+ fanaticism require 15 ias from equipment but if your using 20 ias gloves then Um or 15allres/7 FHR jewels for the stupidly rich.

Armor: Fortitude with 30 Resistances

Weapon: Last wish phase blade with as much crushing blow as possible.

Shield: Herald Of Zakarum upped because you only need one source of life tap and this would give the most damage.

or

Sanctuary in a 45 all resistances base zakarum shield or sacred Targe. This can really make a difference in your resistances giving you up to 115 all resistances.

Gloves - 20 IAS 10CB/15 Str blood gloves or LoH or Steelrend

Belt - String Of Ears

Boots - Gore riders

Jewelery - Maras and 2 x BK

Worst possible case you will have 75% crushing blow, Lifetap and around 200 all resists.

Enough for -25 all resists after meph.

Best case

85 kiras

30 Fort

72 HoZ

30 Maras

217 before fade

and with fade

56 Fade

273 which is nearly enough for 75 all without charms.

2k is more than enough smite damage for uburs but whats you skill layout.|||I have done a few UT runs with equipment much less expensive than yours. Here are my thoughts:

1. Switch the arach out for thundergods, which gives you increased lightning resist and absorb. Plus skills don't really help a smiter that much.

2. Even with maxed resists in hell, I had problem with Uber Mephisto's conviction aura. Use salvation to counter Mephisto and you should be fine as far as resists are concerned. Switch to Fanaticism once Mephisto is dead.

3. It is the crushing blows from your equipment that make smite effective, and also I believe there is some display bug in the character's screen for how added damage is calculated for smite.|||Only Grief has a LCS error with smite and he uses last wish which means no problems with the LCS that I know of.



Thundergods is a good choice but is largely unneeded with the level of equipment he has.

SoE will actually help throughout the rest of the game and especially the Matrons den.|||Hi!

Thanks for the numerous answers!

i will try to get some of the equipment mentioned here.

my skill layout is as follows:

20 fana

20 smite

20 holy shield

the rest is free as for the moment.

i forgot to say. i use CoH as armor, which already give +65 resis

thanks again for all your inputs

greets Facetious|||Your damage is good enough. You just need either a ias jewel, 10% ias gloves, or hlords to max out your ias with lw pb. Yes stick with coh since the dps is not too different from fort anyways.|||dear lord. with that kind of stupid high-end gear you should be able to solo UT blind rolling drunk with a cat piddling on your keyboard while riding a mechanical bull.|||I recommand u just forget about the coh and fort, and stick to enigma. Running arround in lilith tomb and izual pit is gonna give u a headach here and there.|||Quote:

Didn't quite get that image in my mind, but was thinking along those lines, and how people manage to acquire such pretty things without a basic understanding of why they should want them =P|||I would like to think mfing....hopefully mfing.
