Minus Monster Defense Per Hit + Smite?

[Xlx]

If I use Malice runeword ([color=#4850B8]-100 To Monster Defense Per Hit)[/COLOR] as weapon and/or has soul drainer vambraces ([color=#4850B8]-50 To Monster Defense Per Hit)[/COLOR], do monster still lose defense per my hit if I use smite?

Also does life tap and life/mana stolen per hit work with smite?

[Archone]

Since so few things work with smite, I doubt -x def/hit works. Neither does mana/life steal work!!

But Lifetap works very well, is a must for a Ubertrist smiter.

Since smite always hits -defense to monster seems like a pretty moot point, unless you are trying to lower defenses for a friends char? Anyway, really you shouldn't even worry about the stat as it becomes obsolete when you start killing things in a few hits.

There are two other stats that I know work with Smite:

1. Crushing Blow (which is why Smiters are pretty much king of Ubertristing)
2. 'Damage +X' mod (Grief is the best example)
3. IAS

Stuff that do NOT work:

1. %ED from anywhere (AFAIK)
2. +Max/+Min/+X-Y Damage (the latter is especially important, since the stat is different from the "Damage +X" mod mentioned above)

Ed on eq like fortitude works with smite.
