Which is better overall for PVP?

[bballguy]

V/T or T/V?

And why?

and 1 more question, for SMITE dmg, which has the most effect? Maxing HS, Fana or smite itself?

[arbing]

fanat> smite for sure. 17% increase >15% increase per level.
as for HS, when you have grief, I think you are better off maxing fanat.

I prefer T/V over V/T, the reason being that V/T has a very weak FOH without pala combats. More skillers = less lifers, and FOH benefits more from skill points than smite. So why not use hard skill points in FOH, use only a few pcombats, and fill the rest with lifers? Plus blasting things with FOH is a lot more fun than simply smiting. Keep in mind that if your FOH is too weak, then opponents won't even need to stack resists. I feel that <4k FOH isn't very useful.

Basic T/V is 20 FOH, 20 holy shock, 20 Fanaticism, 20 holy shield, 1 conviction, rest into smite.

fana > smite BUT a lot of time you will be using resist aura and smite.
If you dont care too much about smite vs smite I would max smite before fana.

T/V > V/T for sure.

6500 foh and a very strong smite.

So many guides say to put 1 in conv....what if the + items dont take it to 25? it wont affect the enemies as much right?

[shanelee]

I have 10 in conv, -150% with items.

One in conviction is the way to go. You won't have a level 25 conviction but it'll still be fine. Reasons being that:
a) Most of the time you won't be able to flash conviction on an enemy, or you'll only be able to get one foh in (smiter usually),

b) Those who stack WILL own your conviction, whether it's level 25 or level 10, and

c) Those who don't stick will be slaughtered by foh even without a level 25 conviction.

This man speaks the truth. :thumbsup:

I had a T/V myself a long time back. Enjoyed it a lot. It requires a lot of practicing with hotkeys though.
