damn i keep like wanting to puss out of making my V/t lol omfg what is wrong with me! maybe its cuz i like casters so much and i cant stop picturing me trying to smite sum pusser uberfast tele sorc while she orbs me lol

V/t's are anti caster. Silence + psapphire shield + dual raven + snowclash + maras = useless sorc, especially when they are orb. Just charge lock them.

well that definetly helps me, but wut about those goddamned evil windy druids lol they tele on me then cast tornado i dead hehe

wut hsould i do againsts them?

oh ya and when should i be using FOH? i was kidna thinking of replacing FOH with hammers but i dunno...

Don't replace the god damn foh. Its good for people who run, or barbs who ww for like 10 mins. Sometimes they click on the opposite side of the screen and they ww a huge line, just foh them till they come back. Besides, blessed hammers don't do enough dmg unless they are maxed and use concentration.

Most wind druids are idiots. They will use lidless and have no where near max block. I can kill a lot of them by charge locking them. the ones that do have max block summon wolves and a grizzley. If you're in the mood to actually try, use foh to pick off their summons. Of course, they will just resummon but it will piss them off. Less you have a way of name locking them, dont attack them with charge or smite though. Even with my gear setup they still do massive dmg.

Btw, if you go up against a wind druid, before you go in to your kamakazie charge/smite attack (if it fails, your dead, if it wins, G_G) foh that fucking sage. W/O it, druids who uses ss and have max block dramatically lose hp, putting them at a great disadvantage. Of course, they will just tele off and recast eveyrthing, but again, it'll annoyin them. If worst comes to worst, charge around till they run out of mana. Let them cry that you ran, ask them "did I die? No? YOu couldnt kill me? Shut the fuck up".

thnx for keepin me with th V/t sov, btw i fuckin love the way u think lol.

aye how much dex should i have for max block? 50? i plan on using an up'd hoz and having holy shield maxed btw.

V/t's are anti caster. Silence + psapphire shield + dual raven + snowclash + maras = useless sorc, especially when they are orb. Just charge lock them.

lol with that setup most characters are also anti sorc.

Hey here's a question... I know a lot of stuff doesn't add to smite as far as damage goes and I know traditionally people max fanatacism for the IAS and damage (the ar is useless to smite really). But do other auras work in conjunction with smite as far as added damage goes if you can make the 6fps breakpoint another way? Say for instance.....holy freeze or holy shock instead of fanatacism?

um i think concentration but dont pin me to it lol

while concentration would work fanat is much better because it gives ias and alot more damage. and unless i am mistaken smite is uninteruptable and so you would not gain any thing from using concentration except less damage. as far as holy freeze and shock go i dont think that they add thier damage to smite, but i am not sure on that once.

Concintration = no no. I checked, at level 20 fanat has more dmg.

Holy freeze smiters are incredibly bm, and people hate them. In smite vs smite dueles, if holy freeze gets turned on, I guarentee you the guy will go back and get some of his own bm gear on, or get another char and nk you.

With using fanat, you gain many advantages. You gain the AR. Believe it or not, this is somewhat important on a v/t. When charging someone, you still need that ar to hit. Again, it's not a big diff but its a help. It also adds to your charge dmg when you're wacking those bitchead lidless chars. IMHO, if you are not using fanat as your main aura, you must have a beast. That will give you it's own lvl 9 fanat. Not as good as the lvl 30 that I use, but meh!

There is a case in which I see holy shock working. If you made a v/T instead of a V/t, as holy shock is an foh synergy. Since smite is your secondary move, you wont be relying on it too much anyway. But to do this, you need to have a slightly different gear setup then mine, to do more foh dmg. Remember though, holy shock dmg is elemental, and since that is so, it can be sorbed and resisted. And since they know you're more foh then smite, they probably will be pumping up the lite res as it is.

Hope that helped, I just woke up :X, might not be makign sence yet.

Incredibly BM yes. Though I never understood really why HF was considered BM when few other "broken" and abused skills are as well, especially given its just a normal skill rather than some strange item beast-type item adding another aura or....the often used enigma teleport (which is also considered BM in some circles I know). But thats a debate I'm not really wanting to go into at this time and its a pretty arbitrary line with a multitude of opinions.

Actually the reason why I'd be thinking of not doing HF (or HS for that matter) the more I think about it was not just the BM thing but also the fact that to synergize it properly and make it effective damage-wise (as opposed to fanatacism that doesn't need the synergy to pump out the damage) would just be far too many points. I'm not sure the slow effect would even be worth it sacrificing that much damage especially when it doesnt affect casting speed among other things...but it'd be a list of pros and cons at that point. Six of one half dozen of another go with something that would get you more respect right? ;-) Besides I already put a pt into concentration to get to fanatacism so I'm committed.

Here's another question since again I've never made a V/t before so my experience is little when it comes to this build. Wouldn't pumping 20 into FoH be better than 10 FoH 10 HS like the guide and so many others suggest? If Im using conviction as the aura for FoH casting and the synergy doesnt give as much damage to the FoH as a "hard point" then why would I pump points at all into it?


(and yes Concentration at level 20 is less damage than Fanatacism at level 20.)

Awsome, have fun having a 1k dmg melee attack or ww. Zon's don't have enough res to begin with to be any problem. Necros can go full sorb but itll fuck up their build, and make them slow as fuck. Also note that the shields i Use come with a +xx to resists as it is. Also remember that the paladin has a charge attack. He can blindly charge through all that shit while any other char class has to tele. Sure any other class could negate the sorcs attack, but very few could catch up to them.

As a side note, I rarely have to use this setup. Usually a raven , snowclash and max res will do.
