Charge/Smite Pally

[ForsakenEmpire]

i am remaking my charge/smite pally... i followed the vindicator guide on the forums... word for word... and it gets owned all the time. I have mules full of crap and Hrs so i can get whatever i need... And since i am starting over i can put stat + skill points anywhere... this what i was thinking... tell me what you think... (This is a PvP character by the way)

Helm... Shako at start... Until i get 2 Socket COA... which i am not sure i should actually get seeing how high its str requirement is... anyway if u agree with COA what should i put in it ? I dont care about BM... i dont play with mannered duelers.

Armor... This has annoyed the hell out of me... i have tried fort, COH and Enigma... I am thinking fort is way to go... but i hear Enigma is better choice for str because i might do STR glitch to make my char look naked but if that will **** up how my char does... forget that.

Shield... I have an exile... and a Hoz... can't tell which is better... i hear very heated arguements over this... opinions? (and if i get hoz what should i put in it?)

Ammy & Rings: I am thinking Angelics... my ar has always sucked on every character... i am thinking angelics is the way to go for the charge... when i am not charging i guess 2 ravens and a highlords?

Boots: I use treks... but i could change...

Gloves: Dracul?

Belt: i was thinking either dungo or tgods... advice?

weapon: Grief PB.. i think thats best choice.

Stash:
Pally Torch
Anni
and i guess life + resis charms... FHR and i dunno know what else...

Stats:

Str: base i guess with str charms to get to use my equipment which almost all add str.
dex: enough for max block
Vit: all the rest of the points
energy: nothing

Skills:
Maxed Smite
Maxed Holy Shield
Maxed Charge
Maxed Fanat
1-? in Salvation
Anything else i missed?


anyway i would appreciate anyone's input...

I would do the following if you're planning to use exile:

Max smite
Max holyshield
Max fanaticism
Max defiance
1 in Salvation
Max charge in the end.

weapon: Grief PB.. i think thats best choice.
Grief Berserker Axe for the range 3.

Try to aim for at least 40% Damage Reduction.

You'll definitely need 1 Ravenfrost, as cold damage will slow your smite speed, which is highly undesirable.

In my opinion bloodfist is a better choice overall vs draculs. The reason is because smiters kill so quickly it's rather pointless having open wound.

why charge at the end? i plan on using charge alot... or will i be messing up smite by putting points into charge first?
and any suggestions on the other equipment?

Cause with a smiter stuff, charge doesn't have a very high po(smite don't need po), so charge is only effective in approche or vs casters.

For the naked skin of eni, you don't see it. It's just other player who don't see you armor.

And shako vs coa: we need coa here with 2x 15ias jewel is u take grief ba,

Th ebest between exil and hoz is exil for th elife tap(put it on a zakarum shield eth 45@res)

For ammy and ring: bk+raven +mara, u donnt need a lot of ias so highlord is useless.

boot: keep trek

glove: bloodfist for ias and fhr

for gear if u charge and dont connect the first time dont worry about imeditaly switch to smite and ur hits will it all the time

far as gear coa ber ber for socs u want to hit the 50 DR cap at all cost
verdungos for the belt for the vita and up to 15DR
boots use goblin toes for smiting and gores for charging i thought eth treks would be good but done tests myself definitly i use gores most of the time but there r times where people want to go pure smite (smiter vs smiter) then i get the extra 10cb from GT

Deadly strike affects the charge dmg
Crushing blow affects smite dmg

if u use the grief zerker
i would highly recommend getting some rare crafted 20ias 10cb gloves with a str mod

exile with resitance is good. definitly use a raven and a bk for rings ammys i use maras for skills and restaince. switch to highlords for DS for casters


my smiter
broke the ias to 4frms
35cb
50DR
swithching to around 60DS on switches for charging

grief zerker
2soc ber ber coa
maras/highlords
eth bugged exile with resistance
archon enigma
verdunogs
crafted 20ias 10cb crafted gloves (u break the ias frms with these dont need any more ias)
raven/bk ring
goblin toe/gore riders

cta/spirit on switch
ofcourse i have 9pcombats with anni and torch
10 20sc lifers

u can chose to max ur block or not some people want the block more than the life but i like the life so i leave the dex base i have a charater that has max block but i have more successes with the higher life. i ended up with 4.3+k life when im done. with ur DR on that its really good. ur cb and ds will be devistating. if u play us west ladder msg me im Moonlight21 my smiter is Moonfrost come chat with me

I would still use grief PB if I were you, like said, since you might get slowed down by holy freeze freaks in duels, the base speed of PB keeps your smiting rate at a decent level. However, with a zerker your attack speed will be so slow that your dog couldn't watch the duel anymore lol. And the question about dual ber'd coa, you only need it if you only duel melee duelers. Therefore, shako is still the way to go if you duel both melee, range, and magic. For ammy I wouldn't use highlord's cuz it's just a piece of **** for smiters. The DS doesn't work, so the other stats are pretty much inferior compared to a mara's. And you don't need DS for charge either since the chances of DS activating aint good. Anyways I had the following on my own smiter/charger:
Grief PB
Mara's
Dracs
Fort
Eth treks
Dungo's
Ravenfrost
BK
Exile
anni/torch, combat/life gc's resist/life sc's blah blah blah
and I owned pretty good I guess, doing about 9.1k average smite damage and having 43k defense and 4k life after BO.
