Just curious about if this 1.09 smitt meapon still hangs?

[Lordjim]

Was on USeast ladder last night MFing in act 5 and lo and behold Malla had a priests war scepter of quickness 4 sale!!

:scratch: I was like I dont know if these are still good for smitters but I am working on a FoHer with a weak smitt as back-up and I thought this would work good. Just 4 fun I had my socket quest and I tryed and BAMM 2 sockets so I was quite happy. I know there are probably better stuff out there these days but how does this old 1.09 style smitter weapon stack up to 1.10 smitter weapons??

Any insight willbe apriciated!!!

:howdy:

Its more custmoizable, and if it has the appropriate skills, can be as good as any of the others. It also leaves your ias needs pretty well taken care of, so you can add open wounds, crushing blow, resists, etc. Nice find!

Heavens Light have +3 skill / 33 Crushing blow / 20 ias / etc and 2 sockets - why not socket 2x 15ias/15 res jewels - then you have like a HOTO +3 skills / 30 res for FOH - and you +3 Skill / 50 ias / 33 CB for smite? (thats like a rosebranded of extra quickness with +3 fana / +3 conviction / etc. and socket with 1½ ber)

One is range 1, the other is range 2. Range 1 is just a pain when your opponent is smiting at range 2 or even 3. Don't even try the range 2 whirling sins let alone the range 5 double handed whirling barbs. :thumbsup:

I never noticed any disadvatage in using a range 1 weapon against smiters who use range 3 weapons. Charge tend to desynch so much so it's hard to tell exactly where your opponent is anyway. I'm not saying that heaven's is a good smite weapon though.....

Once you fight a range 3 or higher weapon on a different class with a range1 you'll realise why range is good. Last night there was a smiter with heavens light, the redemeer and astreons, and the only time he hurt my ww barb using BA botd=range3 (aka, hit me)was with the astreons. He just stood there shift-smiting and expected me to whirl into him ;)

Ehm, yes, I did that. But my point is that life isn't about smite only, you'll duel more other classes than smiters. So, range is very important, even though in smite duels it might not be. :)

EDIT: Well, I wasn't talking to you directly, I was responding to the statement you made. I don't care wether or not you know range is important vs barbs, hell, I don't care if you know what the capital of Kazachstan is. I just added info the original poster asked about that you didn't mention. I'm sure he'll be pleased with the answers in the thread, together we have everything covered ;)

You shoudn't quote people like that. You're basically telling me that range is important against barbs. Something I am very well aware of.

EDIT:

Okay, you don't care, but if you're not replying to me specifically then don't quote me. I'm sure you understand this even if you don't care. sigh.
