The 1pt smiter guide to Uber Tristram v 1.0.

**bobbyjr** · 24-11-2006, 04:19

From the guide:

Grief (+370 dmg,an average one) 4978-5008 smite damage

How is the smite damage so high while mine is barely hitting 1k???:shocked:

LCS Glitch. +damage from Grief or any other weapon does not display properly. Find an online weapon damage calculator, or do some math yourself, to find the real stats.

A simple test.

Go to act 5 hell. Find a few monsters and smite/zeal them with fanatism on. See how fast they die.

Five days and 100 pages later, I've finally reached the end of the thread! Kudos to kingdryland for breathing life back into my favourite charater type, namely melee Paladins!

So far, I have been using a level 91 Warrior Monk (see Assassin forum) for ubering. With a 3 fpa attack and 100% CB, she's literally a Kick A$$ that kicks a$$! With Blade Fury for use against IM's, Mind Blast/Cloak of Shadows for crowd control and Death Sentry for blowing them up, she's a fun, versatile character.

But against the ubers, once Meph gets down to 1/4 life (which takes 2 or 3 seconds), the lack of kick damage and leech frequently gets her killed. As does her general lack of hit points, defence and resistances compared to the typical melee classes. I die several times (at least) every time I fight the ubers.

From what I read above, the 1 pt Smiter makes the ubers a walk in the park. It also helps that most of the gear (Draculs, Guillaume's, Goreriders, Ravenfrost) is similar to the Warrior Monk that I've fully outfitted. Hopefully I can start farming torches as easily as you guys make it sound. :wink3:

Once I get my new pally up and running, I'll post up a direct comparison between the two uber running specialists. :smiley:

/Maybe we should start an FAQ in a separate thread? You guys must be sick of Grief damage, max block and HoZ questions. :wink3:

Exactly...

I use a HoZ on my non ladder version of this character... Upgraded even... It does great, fine and wonderful... However, I find the defiance aura to be more useful in the long run, plus the added damage from Grief is already bad ***... Don't really need much more than that... But, you are right... I think it just comes down to a preference thing... I just think having multiple auras going at all times is sexy...

Ok im sorry but...thats too many god damn page to read thru lmao. Basically i read the guide on the pvm/Uber build. I really liked it nice job. But i want to kno how well will it do in pvp. Does it stand on top, above hammer pallys? Also, which really is better both pvm/pvp wise Death or Grief.
Sorry if i asked about something thats already been discussed...but 100 pages...........hellllllll nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

No this build will not slaughter as fast as the totally unbalanced Hammerdins, but hold well on its own in normal pvm and eat bosses, dclone and ubers.

As for pvp, 1 Point Smite is basically a run of the mill Zealot, and from what I know there aren't many Zealot duellers around. :/
