Why this build and not a pure smiter?
As a pure smiter the lesser ubers will get you. Lillith is annoying with poision
and the mages in tyreals furnace will iron maiden you. Hammers provide a magical attack that can take care of the little monsters around you. Thus leaving you to deal with the big monster easily and without hassle. Unlike the smite/zealer iron maiden is no concern to you. Also this build can be made as cheap or as exensive as a person wants.
Skill placement
This build very much is like a hammerdin with only a few tweeks in it to get maximum effeciency from both your skills. HEre is the skill layout.
Combat tree
10 smite: Provides longer stun length and adds more overall damage then holy sheild.
20 hammer: Main killer of the little people is what i like to call it. This gets rid of all the smaller or lesser targets around you and makes it so you can get to the main boss.
10 holy sheild: block rate and a bit of defense for the minions along the way. You can go less into this and get more into smite for higher damage but i dont think its needed.
1 prequest
Total used in combat tree:42
Offensive tree
1 might: prequest for concentration and blessed aim
15 blessed aim: synergie for hammers.
20 concentration:main aura for hammers and smite explained later why not fantacism.
Total in offensive tree used:36
Defensive tree
4 into prequests:defiance,cleansing prayer, and one into meditation.
Why meditation? Baal drains mana and its hard to get it back while smiting so i suggest using this as your main aura against baal.
20 into vigor
1 into redemption: sap the souls of the dead minions around you and gain some life!
1 into salvation: dealing with uber mephisto incase life tap doesnt trigger
total defensive tree used:26
Build complete at level 95 or sooner. You can remove points from hammers because theyll already be powerfull enough if you want. I somtimes use hammers against the big 3 to get rid of the *** venom lords that blow fire and get you in block lock(diablo uses these)
Gear
First off enigma is not needed you can use charge to get around with, but if you want you can use enigma it can be a big asset. In this section i will list poor mans gear, the mid range gear, and finally the godly mans gear
Poor mans setup
Helmet: Kiras gaurdian massive resists help a ton against mephisto.
Armor: Lots of choices here lionheart, dureils shell, or my personal favorite duress. Duress adds crushing blow and open wounds all for a very small price.
Weapon: Umed wizard spike or plain wizard spike, or fleshwripper, umed wizzard spike gives open wounds and massive resists and some fcr.
Sheild:Griswalds with 4 p diamonds or topazs for mephisto helps great with resists. Or some rare paladin sheild.
BElt: nightsmoke, resists dex and some other great mods.
Rings:RAven frosts for dex for wizardspike, or cheap fcr rings, not fcr rings can be found in normal and can be used at level 3!
Amulet:3 to pal gambled amulet works wonders and are cheap to get!
gloves: If you can afford it get dracs life tap and open wounds=ownage. Or laying of hands for 350 ed vrs demons!
Weapon switch: life tap wand if you can shop one, otherwise its not needed if you have dracs. Lifetap vrs ubers=autowin
Boots:gore riders hands down.
Medium gear
Helm:kiras, shako are both really good choices resists wont be that needed if you have a lifetap wand! Or if you use marrowalks
Armor: Duress hands down godly mods.
Belt: dungos, or arachs if i need to explain what these are please go buy a different game.

Amulet: cheap maras like 20 resist or 3 to pal combat ammy.
gloves: dracs or laying of hands or magefists depending how much you care about fcr(aim for 75)
weapon1: Wizardspike on one switch and either fleshwripper on some other open wound crushing blow weapon.

Faq
1. Is enigma needed?
No it isnt but it can enhance your mobility by quite a bit.
2. Why 10 smite and 10 holy sheild?
It will do the most damage and improve stun length.
3. Wtf why duress it sux!
Crushing blow is king vrs ubers that and life tap.
4. Why meditation?
Baal sux he has mana burn with his fire. This can regenerate your mana without having to use pots.
Strats vrs ubers
1. Collect the full 3x keysets before hand to get rid of the chance of having random organ sets.
2. PErm a game.
3. Teleport or charge to lillith and the 3 lessers. Note hammers work wonders vrs the annoying things that come by you.
4. Destroy minions around the monsters with hammer.
5. Smite them back to the pits of hell and make sure life tap triggers.
6. Collect organ reapet.
7. Once you have the full organ set switch to your smite side and travel to where youd normall see cain and lure mephisto out. Once he is out switch weapons or w/e and cast life tap and smite him back to the pits of hell.
8. Repaet for the other 2.
9. collect your torch and give it to me for this gg guide :)
Skill placement
Str: enough for gear
Dex: max block is nice :) enough for it.
Vita: Rest here
Mana:none
