Best pvp smiter variant?

[CloudConnected]

Making a smiter, and was told defiance didn't help much, so I'm wondering what to do with extra skill points..

20 smite
20 fanat
20 hs

What's the best use for the rest of the points?

Charge?

10chars

[Stevomoo]

defiance is quality it gives a big passive boost to your defence when using holy shield (as in all the time) charge is good as well for closing quickly (or running away)

[Pidol]

charge comes anyways and with a smiter you rarely get to kill with it so i say you should up defiance for def or give urself extra resists

either that or just go v/t

[CloudConnected]

I heard the defiance boost was very small though, around how much def would it add at lets say level 35?

Are v/t's still decent with no pcombs? I can't really bother to get any right now..

Without pcombs I wouldn’t try to stretch the build like you would need to with a liberator, v/t or a mage. I’d go 20 in charge and 10 res light and 1 in vigor. I put at least 5 in res light on all my pallies if I have spare points.

[akumaxxyz]

best = 20 light resist, since the most annoying element is light, you get 85% normally 95% when using aura

The only hybrid I would make without pcombs is a Liberator. A liberator is a charge/hammer paladin that would use a one point smite. The only smiter variants I know of are V/T's. A couple pcombs is nice for a liberator but not nearly as necessary as on a V/T. My liberator uses no pcombs and has like 10k hammers I think. In other words unless you have some pcombs Hybrids are generally hard to build effectivley since you have to spread points so much.
