To my Smitz00r homies :P

[Beltorak]

Was intrested about others trying the Smite line on a cleric (in rvr ofc) and to give info about it. Dont mind any enemy posting thier thoughts aswell, like -easy rps- or -nice fights- or the -f00k no-

Pls post spec , MLs, RA and Temp items etc and most important why u have choosen those.

I have 2 Smitzors but only is 99% done.

Spec on 1st (my main smitzor) is:

47 smithe and 26 rej
Gives u all the toys in smith line, lower risk of getting resisted and higher dmg on DD. From Rej line u get 2 Insta heals, 1 single 60% and 1 Grp 50% (say hi to 2xIP for free:XD ) and cure poison/desease. The base buffs isnt enough for capping even if u use red dex with 25% but its not terrible important as u need BB anyway.

40 enhance and 36 smite
Gives u selfbuffage (= cant be sheared) and u can shear ppl (makes u popular), yellow resists and a self dam add. In Smithe u miss the top dmg spells but maybe yellow might be sufficient (havent tried). Healing is not worth mentioning with 1 in rej

MLs
Warlord ofc. Cant realy see the use for Perfector on a Smitzor unless the enemy gives u time 2 set a Healfont before fight. Warguard is soooo OP.

CLs
Nothing that can turn the tide in a battle and we cant access the Aocalyte line which is the best. I specced in the Necro line with a single target dot at 1500 range (smitzor doesnt have any ranged dmg beyond 1350, only stun + shears have 1500+ range) and the self dmg shield. Tried the Fighter line before but melee is not ur friend (or maybe it is if u made a temp for it if someone tried that? doh.. )

Artis/temp
I went for a pure caster dmg templete. So i have
AT (5% pierce)
GoV (4% spell dmg)
JS (5% pierce)
EP for the Uber use
Champ mace

i dont have Croc ring or BoZ which is under evaluation. Was hard getting 101dex 101 piety 10 range 10 cast speed, high con hits and good resists when ur stuck with some Must-have-artis. Currently i have Malice on my back but gonna try Battler and SoG instead.

RAs
Being only 5L2 i still lack some toys that i want but from my experience these are the best:

MoC3 - Ur gonna get PA:d alot and if the resists insta mess / purge and insta snare isnt up its gonna be hard. RR5 is useful but i usualy get Garroted so i can run away. Also very useful vs caster as we dont have QC so we cant realy turn the battle around.

Purge3 - Dont have purge yet, saving for purge2 when i hit 5L5. On a hign dmg dealer with stun style u wont always last untill u get free.Very nice vs assains to purge all dots/desease/con debuff/malice proc etc.

Aug dex - have this while i am saving for purge and rox for getting of as many nukes as possible during stun.

I have tried MoM, WP and Aug Auc but was a bit disapointed in the effect / cost. Havent tried it properly and from VN boards they seems popular.

Ohh well have probably missed alot but need to run off for lunch now.

a PA on a fullbuffed cleric shoudnt be more then 500 anyways even with 2h and thats what the debuff takes away anyway, so WH wont be any good against PAs but u still have around 50% lower dmg afterwards and combined with warguard will be pretty much goodmod

I am really interesting in playing a solo smite cleric as it was a blast in thid, but then thats thid, i wonder how effective if at all he would be at 50z0r

 

[Beltorak]

well i think i do allright as solo smithzor. still not use 2 all the toys but learning as i go along and its damn fun 2 play one.

As for WH its crap stats except for the usage and u cant afford that as cleric but if u show me a temp with it i might consider it

Think spec I was, were 45smite 17enh 24rej i think..

champion mace barbs /use is the win for kiting
wing helm isn't needed unless your a MoC3 + BoF3 lamer, then again kiting is lame too right?

most the time i was using self buffs .. so i had less advantage than most using crappy 17 enhance specs

RA I had were

augDex3 - cast faster
wp3 - criting for over 1.2k on a orange con spirit weak mob I can remember
focus2 - to make smite spell level 50 very important because smite has higher resist rates than cloth casters
lw2 + endurance regen potion = infinate sprint for kiting

was funny to kill vamps as a cleric lol

I nevah played a smite cleric for real Belto..but i dont understand howcome u say the perfector line is kinda useless,if u compare it to warlord line,becoz the cure nearsight ability,should be a wet dream to repair urself for any range t00n!

Even tho yes...warguard and so r0x,but to make up for those 25% missed absorb,u could go around and recharge Astaroth Ring of Abomination who ofc cant make up with Warguard ability...but give u 50 absorb/value 200!(like a SoM Cloakz0r)

/every none SoM user,should have such a ring in inventory as a must!

Btw...u might already use that ring/charges,as it also stacks with warguard,and makes u even harder 2 knock down...but Moc3 wont help u in some situations,if u meet an evul caster enemy who gets u nearsighted as 1st move,with a 15 min timer on purge ftm!

As i know how quickie u are rebuffing for a new spin ..then 10 min left before a new purge is up for ya!

And cure nearsight will also be a better friend of urs in keep´s n twr´s im sure,than warlord offers ya!

/just my thoughts,anyway nice smitez0r discussion thread u made!
Gonna go shop,and get rdy for the weekend now...

yes NS is a drag but if i get it i just sprint towards the caster and press insta pbaoe to brake his rhytm then you have the upper hand on a caster unless the QC some CC or ML9 pet you. Think got NS twice in all my fights and the rest in perfector is kinda useless compared to Warlord. I use 4 spells in Warlord line:

Bolstering Battlecry .- Up every 5th min
Cowering Bellow - havent tried much but looks good on paper, think its kinda bugged though
Cleansing Aura - good vs stealthers and up every 2min
Warguard - the god mod ability

would lub to have some MoM and WP but moc + purge and aug dex comes first imo. from my experience is dishing out dmg the most important while ur stun is active. when i stared out i tought i was gonna melee/nuke ppl down but the only thing i can kill with mace is a unbuffed dr00d at best

Is there no way to get 10% damage as a cleric? :<

 

[Megalodon]

Belto stop smiting and go back buffing me instead.
