V/T or Mage?

[GkT]

Hi all,

I've been wondering this for a while, why do V/Ts get way more 'support' than Mages do? Mages generally will have a higher FoH, and I think Hammers are way more effective than Smite.

So, which one do you prefer and why?

[Speederländer]

Smite with tap allows you to suck back all your life in an instant. Hammers can be dealt with over time and with experience. My assassin always had an easier time with FoH/hammer than FoH/smite or hammer/smite. Grief powered smite and FoH powered by conviction is a very nasty combination. It provides big damage in both cases, the ability to get full life back with very little effort, and even allows for a 1 pt. invest in charge to cause real damage thanks to grief.

Mage all the way you can also just slap a greif on and you will have more smite damage then nonladder smiters had before greif came which is really good in my opinion

I agree with both Speeder and Choson. Speeder points are right but after ladder reset I just slap with grief and few IAS my mage and now has 3 very powerfull attacks, no BO though .

lol, speeder and choson are disagreeing you cant agree with both of them ^^.

mage will do better than v/t but harder to control. mage also get teleport.

when they both duel, mage will kill v/t.

mages are one of the most versatile builds ever. i know because i had a decke out one. ive dueled a couple v/ts in my days but none ever even hit me with smite. most times they would duel me then get tired and bring THIER mage. ^^

when it comes to PvA.. mages are still on top because they have a much better chance against casters. hammers hit things easier than smite, simple as that.

imo, hammer is harder to hit than just go on someone and smite. Like, u have to switch between concentration and convcition is just ***.

[dkay]

you mean *** how you have to switch between convic and fanata with a v.t?

if hammers are harder to hand hits than smite.. then please explain why all casters own smiters while hammerdins own most casters. :O

i personally had no trouble hitting ANY cahracter wit hammers. its all about placement.

All casters own smiters? Since when :/. I have no problem vs casters on my v/t. Havent dueled any mages but v/ts have the advantage of high charge damage grief without hurting their fcr like it would to a mage. I dont really think mages have it easier against casters..
