So basically, at level 90 or so I should have added to what with the 11 extra Skill pts, I should have a Eth Exile, blah, blah, blah...??

Get a grief phaseblade asap. Huge +damage works with smite so the damage is massive.

And get a fortitude too. Your hoz is nice (probably worth bunch of HRs), so you might be able to get fort+grief out of that?

You can probably get a griz shield+pdiamonds until you get another hoz to deal with your low resists (which you want to upgrade).

It is generally accepted that more than 1 point in smite is a waste except for PvP. I think it would be very difficult to smite one of the hords of little bad guys. I have seen mobs of 50 or more and smite is 1 on 1. While you are killing 1 all the others would be beating on you! Zeal works much better for all but bosses. You could put 1 point in zeal, get grief and put the rest of you points in sacrifice and be effective.

Smiters kill the bosses with crushing blow. You have 15% which is pretty low. The Guill helm would help a lot. You also could switch your weapon for one with crushing blow.

You need to get max max resists in hell. Armor is a great plac to get them. I would make smoke with an elite armor for 50 inexpensive resists or get COH. Stick an UM in your helm. Improve your charms to help with resists also. Swap out 1 of the ravenfrost rings for a good resists ring/Dwarf star/Wisp. Get tgods belt for lightning absorb and +max resist light.

You could get a maras amulet to help with your resists or if you chose to develop zeal then highlords wrath is great.


You dont get leach from smite so life tap is require IMHO.
