i currently am leveling a smiter to take on the uber ancients guys. planned gear. Helm Gface, Armor COH, Grief, Upped HOZ with Pdiamond, I have a 3 combat ammy with 23 dmg reduction but will swap for maras, Draculs, Tgods, Goblin Toe, Right now Gface socket is empty what should i put in there new uber jewel for physical damage or should i go Cham for can't frozen and drop my Raven Frost. or should i go really rich and Lo or Ber it for the deadly strike or the crushing blow or play it safe for the all res and put a Um in there? Right now just level 70 and still leveling but wanted a good idea on the viability gear options.

Lo / Ber in helmet provide defense bonuses not offensive ones.

Jewel/ Um is the right way to go.

Playing HC SSF right now.

Hell completed: Sorc, Druid, Paladin, Ama, Assa, Necro, Barb
Iron Man (Paladin): Nightmare A1

Guys, I'm theorycrafting my first ever smiter for the new ubers (ond occasionally the old ones). As stupod as and easy as possible, no river of flames prebuffing, just plug and play.

Will that work, will it be easy?

Salvation 20
Zeal 20
Sacrifice 20
Smite 20
Rest in Holy Shield, Vigor, Resist Fire

Guillaume's Face + Um
Guardian Angel + Um
Grief
Sanctuary
Nosferatu's Coil
Highlord's Wrath
goblin's toe
Dracul's Grasp
ravenfrost
Dwarf Star

on swap: Spirit & Call To Arms
vs old ubers: replace Guardian Angel with Chains of Honor

merc not sure.. would prefer to keep the barb, maybe get him another Guardian Angel, Kira's Guardian, and double Grief?

summon them, cast Slow Missiles, switch RMB to Salvation, hit them with Smite on LMB till they drop to 10%, switch LMB to Zeal and finish with Zeal, repeat. That's it?

Will probably work, but there is room for improvement.

Belt and shield are quite bad and should be replaced (see above).

Holy Shield and its synergy Defiance should be maxed.

Zeal and Sacrifice are not needed. Wyh would you switch to Zeal? Your attack rating would be too bad.

just keep smashing them with Smite? I thought you finish quicker with Grief / Zeal?

Sanctuary provides huge all res boost, and Slow Missiles are a huge PDR boost. is Exile so much better? ~60 res missing on Sanctuary could be provided by charms
