Solid Anni - Holy Bolt and FoH is going to be a new superior elite meta build. Only downside is that HB's do not attack or harm 'animals' which will hurt in major areas such as Cow farming.

I'm running a FoH/Hammer/Smiter hybrid. It's pretty amazing tbh. Max HB/FoH/Hammers/Vigor... then 1 point Redemption/Fanat rest into Blessed Aim. It can legit farm everything pretty quickly. The hammers only end up around 6k'ish or so.. but it's more than enough.
I don't have the smiter swap stuff yet (mostly want it to CB down Baal to speed it up) so TBH D-Clone had me worried, popped while I was just clearing Chaos lol. I was like.... damn canI even kill'em.... then he died to holt bolt spam lul.
100% - I am going FoH out of the gate and also intend to start as a T/V Templar which is what you are describing with Smite + FoH. The hammer hybrid is also a solid option so glad you are seeing success. What I ultimately hope to get towards is a FoH / Auradin Hybrid mainly leveraging A3 Wolves Dragon Auradin setup to help with Animal Crowd Control - that or wearing some gear myself, but going to dabble with iterations.

Sadly I won't be doing ladder as I just don't have the time, and really don't feel like dropping $40 for more slots. But yeah that sounds like a lot of fun. Honestly I wouldn't mind going into FoH/Auradin setup at some point as it sounds fun, I just don't have the resources right now, and I play self find.
Trust me - the self-find Singleplayer world just got a huge boost now that everything is basically available. They have majorly alienated ladder from the rest of the world and it is going to create a massive dichotomy in the economic trading markets. I haven't purchased a second license yet, but will resort to if needed!

That just feels wrong...
Damn decent Anni though.
How long did it take you to take him down with Holy Bolt?
I wonder if it's that much slower, compared to doing him the Smite way, to justify the annoying items swapping.
Umm it was fairly slow to be fair. I had to position him in a way where the merc was between him and me yet out of the lightning/firesotrm hitbox. It wasn't "that" bad, but I went through like 10 rejuvs.. maybe 3-4 minutes? Never felt risky, or like he was regening too quickly though. Merc died first attempt, and I didn't have but a single row of juvs on me, but I was still easily beating his regen.
Rezzed merc and grabbed a Belt of juvs and was pretty smooth after that.
I'd say it's perfectly reasonable to Holy Bolt him down with anything level 33'ish or above on Holy Bolt with a Belt of juvs.

Thanks, mate, guess I'll be smiting him down then...

IF you have legit Cast speed - it can definitely plow if it is maxed out plus some synergies and FoH as well of course and Conviction. Would have loved to see a video!

If nothing else I figure it's good info for people to have with the new DClone spawns. I honestly didn't think H-Bolt would be enough to do the job, and it was a pleasant surprise.
