im making a melee pally and want some advice on should i pick smiter o zealot. this char i make will be mostly used for UBER occasions, plz give me some advices
Zealot. They kill faster in general PvM, and can just switch to their one point smite to trash the Ubers when need be.
On a side note to that...i've alway wondered how exactly smite works better than zeal? I have a level 10 smite and it deals about 600 damage with Fanatacism, yet I can push out 2.5k damage with zeal per hit. How is smite suppose to do any damage if the ubers heal at 16k per second?Originally Posted by Evrae Altana
I know that smite is unblockable and always 100% CTH, but still....
Am I missing something, or do I just need a better shield, like a HoZ or Exile...?
The main purpose of smite is to ensure that you hit the monster you want and that monster only (ie. Ubers). With zeal, you might miss and you'll also spread out the attacks on other, "unworthy" monsters. That's why smite is better for boss battles.
As for how does a 600 damage smite kill the Ubers with their insane regeneration, the answer lies in crushing blow.
i think every time crushing blow hits it takes away what 8% of its life or something
10 % for bosses, and 25% for normal monsters.
Are gore riders the best boots for such a build?
Yes. Gores are awesome.
An alternative might be War Travs if you don't need the crushing blow and deadly strike from Gores for some reason.
It's 1/8 for bosses. And the whole point with smite is, it always hits, and can't be blocked.
Uber diablo and uber baal have about 50 or 55% resistant to physical so that means cb is even less effective vs them.
