Question about smite + grief

[shade449]

hi
sorry to ask this in your thread pallyman but maybe you would like to know aswell.
so how does that make it beter than astreons? +4 skills ~360 dmg +80 dmg
= more than 400 (grief) there must be some % dmg or something that enchants the +xxx dmg could anyone tell wich they are?
thanks in advance
cheers

Although jumbo_shrimp posted an excellent description I'll kind of sum things up for you. Basically all ed except that on weapons enchances the dmg from smite.

[Herbus]

zakarum shield does 46-46 damage

lvl 20 hs adds 57-60 damage...this gets added to your base shield damage

so the shield now has 103-106 damage.

the +4 combat skills from asterons adds 4 more levels of holy shield, thus 16 more damage is added to min max

so the shield now has 119-122 damage

asterons has +80 damage, this gets added to the base shield damage.

so the shield now has 199-202 damage

this is now the base damage you would use in equations for finding out your total damage (300% ed from smite, 300% enhanced damage from fortitude, 400% enhanced damage from phoenix)...this adds up to 1000% enhanced damage, and you would be doing ~2.15k smite damage

now for grief:
zakarum shield with level 20 hs = 103-106 damage

grief has +400 damage

shield now does 503-506 damage

this is now the base damage you would use in equations for finding out your total damage (300% ed from smite, 300% enhanced damage from fortitude, 400% enhanced damage from phoenix)...this adds up to 1000% enhanced damage, and you would be doing ~5.5k smite damage

phelix

Dont forget Fana and Str in youre calculations.
I know the point is to proof grief is better but still.

Make it lvl40 Holyshield and you understand why grief smiter is so populair.
Insane damage that can only be blocked by a dual claw assa and hits 95%.

Why the 95%? Smite is auto-hit and ignores the normal block chance. Unless the defender has Dodge/Evade/Claw Block Smite will always hit.

Sometimes, smite vs. smite, My opponent hit me with smite, I heard *crank* sound, and saw block animationon my pally, and I took no damage at all.

weird.. sometimes.

typo..
