Best vs Smiter

[nikstykal]

I'm not the best dueler, but it seems in most pub dueling games I always get demolished by smiters, who end up running the game most of the time, occasionally barbs stepping in to do some damage. Whats the best build against smiters, thats still can get the job done against other builds too? If there is a guide on this, please direct me there as I couldnt find one. THank you

IMO:

1 - BvC
2 - Another Smiter
3 - WW-Trapper

It seems like everybody and their mother is a smiter anymore, I also hate them for that reason and many more. No AR required, can't block smite, charge, etc.

I see a lot of Barbs able to own them though. A few WW sins do well against them in pub games. I would say making a Barb is your best bet. I didn't really help you much at all did I? :(

[nikstykal]

no thats fine, i'm currently building a BvC so thats good - i was always a PvM player and just currently getting into PvP. Thanks for the input guys. If anyone has some strategy to use against smiters I would appreciate it.

1: hammerdin
2: wind druid
3-6: ww-barb, bone necro, ww-sin, a better smiter

Hammerdin. By a light year.Nuff said.

Anything that does not have a class disadvantage against Smiters can beat them easily. Meaning almost all builds. A few that won't do it, I would say V/T, Foher, T/V, all Amazons, Trappers. Just to name a few. And don't ask about V/Ts and T/Vs, think before asking.

hammedin easily... even if your not good, you can just walk around keep spaming hammers theres really nothing they can do about it.

[Cheesehed]

bm summon necros seem to piss them off^^

[akumaxxyz]

anything with summons is the worst vs a smiter with lt. bm or not

[Jerametrius]

hammerdin by far

bone necs and barbs also have an advantage

[ultrabadbob]

basically, anything w/ ww and h-dins is good vs smiters. ww sins can even block smite, which is really handy.

how is this any different to standard hammerdin duelling tactics?

Well versus any ranged attacker you can't just stand and spam, or spam a small area. But versus a smiter or char that needs to come to you to kill you a hdin can play very defensively. Thats why barbs use widow, etc. A smiter doesn't have this option without prebuffing.

Hdin > smiter. Except in one case where Lag > all.
