Smiter

[Iknowwhen]

I also have many options in my stash such as ethreal lacerator, ethreal gimmershred (immensly hurts physical immune), stormshield, and non-ethreal botd berzerker axe, which destroy any problem that may arise.

A "non-ethreal botd berzerker axe", why do you want to make one like this? :huh:


certain equipment I would suggest for a smiter, mostly PVM btw,

for weapon,
Astreon's Iron Ward - looking for +4 skills and 8X DMG
Silence PB - this is the best rune word weapon for a smiter IMHO

also, although many people will say an upgraded HOZ is the dream shield for a smiter, but I actually prefer the new 110 Pal shield - Alma Negra more than anything else, try to look for a 65+% ED DMG one, I found it even better than HOZ. I tried exile also, but don't like it much. Alma Negra is my pick here.

If you play PVM mostly, don't use any gloves other than Dracul's Grasp, that 5% chance of casting of life trap is the best thing that could happen to a smiter.

boots I prefer Sandstorm Trek or Gore Riders, Verdungo's Hearty Cord is a nice belt you can consider also.

Helm is an interesting choice, for PVM, if you don't need much of the skills, you can go for crushing blow and use the set winged helm, otherwise unique shako or even Crown of Ages are nice also.

For armor, personally I like Leviathan, mostly for the green look :P , and the huge bonus in strength is very nice also.

Choice on rings and amulet doesn't really matters, though I think you will need a raven frost.

Understand we maybe playing in different realm so the price of obtaining above items wil be different (I played at A3 mainly now and above items are very easy and cheap to obtain there), but I think those mods in these items are the ones you should look for when you plan your equipments.

IMHO, smiter is the best diablo clone killer in the game, hands down. cheap to build one also (even you don't have some of the good gears stated above, when you have enough CB, DC normally will die within 1 min).
