I'm surprised to see that Silence Phase Blade is not on there... I would use Silence over almost everything if you're going to be a pure smiter.

Yeah, SPB was the weapon of choice back in 1.09 thanks to killer speed, skills, resists, and more. Don't know enough about new weapons to offer alternatives, though.

Silence Phase is still one of the best non BM weapons out there. If you dont care about BM, use Lacerator/Doom Warspike (Speed)

[Snake-Byte]

Lacerator for BM, SPB for non-BM

[strength_honor]

Redeemer Shael or Um'ed Iron Ward.

[Fearoth]

Heavens light is not bad with +3 pala skills 33% crushing blow and 2 sockets.

Then there's always the unspawnable caddy (this is prob a dream non BM weapon)

rose branded caddy of quickness

+3 combat skills
40%ias
+3 smite
+3 holy shield
+2-3 fanct

2xBer in sockets

if anyone hacan get that, ill roll over and die.

That would indeed be godly :clap: However, you can't have +skills to smite and HS/Fanct on the same scepter. Because there is a max on how may levels the skills can be apart, don't know the exact amount though...

The most godly is Redeemer or Iron Ward -_-

ethereal zod/ber +3 heaven's light ><

[Krime]

Why would you use an etheral one? Weapon damage does not inflict in smites dmg what-so-ever. However, it would get a lot of style points :) A redeemer would still beat it :p

Some people prefer a well balanced weapon so you can use it for charge/zeal/smite. You wouldn't want to limit yourself to just one type of physical attack right? :thanks:

dont have +dmg so no.

[fugitive alien2]

dont have +dmg so no.

extra socket, extra +1, 20 ias, 33 cb > + damage on redeemer.

+4 combat iron ward would also be good though, since has cb and huge ar bonus. also faster weapon.

[PuSs Says Go Time]

i don't know about u guys, but for non-bm silence is viable. however, a priests xxx of quick/alacrity/readiness in a dual socket'd flail or 3 soc sword socket'd properly would beat out most of those options
it's 1.1 and i still use my .9 smiter build(shaft-gear still) without any tap/amp/hf/cta and still have no add'd trouble against ones who do use those. amps a bit rough. just use lifetap wand u got stuck in stash for the bm duel'rs rest is history

120 dmg is much better than crushing blow + 1 skill. Crushing Blow is so pathetic when comparing to Open Wound.

120 dmg bonus is equivalent to 1411 min/max dmg

cb is not pathetic. it can be huge, especially against vita-pallys and barbs. ideally you want both cb and open wounds. redeemer doesn't have open wounds anyway ><

not sure what you mean on the second part.

He mean 120 damage does not go through the pvp penetaly or DR. So it is really like alot more damage on your character screen. I'm not sure if his numbers are right but I bet there close.

[fugitive alien2]

does that add to smite, though? i was told it doesn't. 120 damage to charge is nothing.

It add to any attack you use. It is alot for charge or smite because of what was said before.

Its like 1400 more damage to any attack.

1400 - pvp penalty - dr = 120 damage

[fugitive alien2]

i understand that part, i just was misinformed that it didn't add to smite. i stand corrected :cheesy:

in that case a +4 iron ward would be best for pure smite damage.

[acb123]

would the +120 dmg on the wep or the amp from lacer be better on a pure defence smiter.

ok,say i use a redeemer [no luck on uniq caddy yet], what is a good socket for the weapon? i found a rare jewel that has these mods:

adds 10-17 damage
+9 strength

now this character is mostly pvm [i only duel with friends]. i am following the pravada guide mostly [i believe] for a vindicator/templar. max fanat/holy shield/then working on foh and synergies. a lot of fun so far and im just starting nm currently.

thx for any advice

[strength_honor]

Redeemer should always get a Shael or 40/15ias jewel

Asheron ...depends I would want a 40/15 or Zod if it is Etheral.

I think you need 50ias to reach a 6fps smite with redeemer. So, I guess your only options would be a shael or a 15ias jewel depending on how much ias you get from other gear.

EDIT: Ha! I guess SH beat me to it

idc if this is an old post im puttin my opinion which is a rose branded (warscepter/eceptional/elite) of quickness with 2 bers or ums and the added mods of 3 to fana and 3 to smite i got one on sp but no one will belive i found it and its a caddy so its kinda heavy with all that he barely hits 4.1k smite with no double auras or merc

Redeemer or Iron Ward still do more dmg

I don't think you can get +smite on a septer. Best would be rose with +3 HS ans +3 fant.

Really? Does anyone know what the range is? could you get a +HF, +HShock, +Zeal? or a +HF +HShield +Zeal?

[strength_honor]

the only useful " PvP " skill you can get on a Scepter are:

Fanaticism
Holy Freeze
Zeal
Charge
Holy Shield
Conviction
Meditation
Vigor
Holy Shock
Holy Fire
Holy Freeze
Salvation

I vote for Asterons YAY ASTERON'S. For some reason i have a soft spot for cadduceus' and this one also happens to kick *** for a smiter. The slow is Bm in duels but is less obvious than Dooms HF. Its prolly my favorite weapon. (scepters make a cool sound when you hit things)
