Hey There, This is my first ever guide
Introduction
Ever been in a game where you are the only one with the Crap gear, bad skills, and doing thing that others wont dream of, well to tell you your not alone. You dont need the best gear in the game, you can have the worst gear and heck, still kill a guy with the best gear
So in this Guide you will find:
The Smiter and who he is;
The Skills of the Smiter;
Your style of play;
The Use of the Smiter;
And the best bit:
The Poor Man' Clothes
The Smiter and who on Earth he is.
The Smiter is a Palading who uses Smite as his Main attack and the Usally a Fanaticism. This is one of the only chacters who can do the Uber Tristam in Solo, and in a few Minutes, but that something I am not going to discuss in this guide, since Frankly this is a Poor Man's Guide.
Many use the smiter to solo bosses and PvP, but many too use it for PvM, as the Smiter, Over level 68 is a Chacter who can go many ways.
The Skills of the Smiter
Skills
The Smiter uses 3 main skills: Holy Shield, Smite and the Fanaticism aura.
the Skills are used because of:
Smite: Stuns target, does damage, and why would a smiter use smite, hmmmm I wonder :shocked:
Holy Shield: Increases the Defence of your Smiter and the damage you do using smite and also the chance to block.
The Fanaticism Aura: Increases damaga, attack speed and attack rating for you AND your Party, this is a awesome skill, truly without this the smiter wouldnt be a smiter.
After that you can invest into anything you like, most go for Vigor or Charge to make runs easier, I Personnely went for Vigor, and now i can do baal in 4-5 minutes, without lagg :evil:
So in the end you should have:
20 Smite
20 Holy Shield
20 Fanaticism
8 into skills which you need to get in oder to unlock Holy Shield and Fanaticsim.
Stats
The Smiter is a charcter which relys on life and Max block to stay alive, so i will explain what you need in oder for that:
Strenght: Makes weapons do higher damage, and allows you to use armor, since most of them have STR requirements. About 160 is all you need.
Dexterity: Increases attack rating and chance of blocking, About 120 is needed here.
Vitality: Increases life and Stamina, This is Vital for most chacters, so all points remaining should be dumped here.
Energy: Increase Mana. The last thing a paladin needs is mana, no points here at all, only if your having trouble with mana put 10 points into it, but your waiting your time here.
So in the end of this Section you'll have:
Skills:
20 Smite
20 Holy Shield
20 Fanaticism
8 Pre-Skills.
Stats:
160 Str - Requirements for armor
120 Dex- Max Block
XXX- Vitality , all dumped used points dumped here
15-25 energy, no use for it at all.
At level 70, you'll have to make a choice, between the skills your going to use next.
Your style of play
Until level 20, put no points into anyhting else but smite, until 38 everything into Holy Shield, and at 39+ get max Fanaticism and at 63 finish maxing Holy Shield.
Your basic style of play is to hit and kill, or in a smiters case, Smite and kill.
Just keep whacking your shield at them until they die, they cant do nothing since everytime you smite them the get stunned and cant respond :P, Remeber though, smite doesnt work on Super Uniques, Bosses and Uniques, only on normal monsters.
So just to recap, you Smite til they have died.
In PvM just Smite, but in PvP, Smite Harder, and harder til they have died, to tell you the truth, i dont usally PvP, but you can win easily, just kill them, maybe you'll have a better chance then me :jig:
The Poor Man' Clothes
This is the bit in every guide where normal people, not Leggits are sad since we cant aford the gear they make us use, i just use gear which i can aford, and guess what, it works great
So your equipment:
Helm, You would want something with a nice defence and maybe even so other bonuses, go to any act and buy one from the merchants, they may have high prices, but still a normal helmet may be better then a Elite one.
Armor: GrisWolds, the Orante Plate, for a Poor Man is Perfect, costs almost nothing and has very high defence 900+ at level 45 and only requires 110 STR, while it gives you 20 back.
Shield: Stormsheild or a Kurast Shield, Smite damage and some Resistance, StormShield gives you 30 str and has a feature which Reduces Damage by a somewhat number.
Weapon: Any weapon with a +1 or +2 to Paladin Skills would be perfect, since your not going to use it much, a Rust Handle is good for a Poor Man, for me it droped from Mephisto in Nightmare.
Gloves/Boots: You'd Want Ik's Because of the high defence and bonuses.
Rings/Amulet: for them you'd want some resistance or +2/+1 skills, i use Cat's Eye for runs With Ravenfrost so my speed cannot be stopped.
Belt: You'll need a nice belt, witha high defence and somewhat of some bonuses and to put all your 16 life potions.
Invertory: Some Charms which give life to you and some Defence charms, and keep some Mana potions if your Mana runs out.
As this is the end of My Guide, i would like to Thank everyone who helped me build up my paladin, Thank you people for reading this guide and please give me some feedback as this is my first guide, ill be making more soon
Good-Bye
