no need from fana and i do more damage with conc on smite. my grief has 33 ias, 15 from ias jewel, 20 from highlords. depending on your weapon and items, you dont need the ias from fanaticsm and can use concentration that actually gives more damage than fana and can spam hammers while smiting.įor example, if using grief PB, you need 65 ias from gear. Note on fanaticism: most ppl put 1 point into this because it makes it easy to hit the max ias breakpoint.

make sure you are hitting max ias breakpoint with smite gear. Simply swap a good smite weapon like grief or something crushing blow, gface helm, dracs gloves, gore rider boots, verdungo belt.

(hitting these breakpoints is 1% more to block, saves you some dex, more to vitality) try to hit one of those skill breakpoints with HS. my holy shield with 2 hard point is at lvl 23 with +skills.

so 10 into resist light will you give you 5 to max light res all the time, but if you put the aura on you and your party will get 10 to max light res and like 140 to light resist.įor holy shield, you get increased block at levels 20/23/27 of the skill with +skill items and charms. when active, the aura gives everyone 1 to max light res for every ONE hard point you put into it. Remaining points-holy shield and resist lightning(put even # of points into resist lightning).Įvery 2 points in resist lightning give you 1 to your max lite resist even when aura is not active.

these are wasted points, you will use redemption and resist lightning more.ġ point optional -fanaticism (depends on gear) blessed hammer, blessed aim, conc, vigor basically you build normal hammerdin and just swap to smiter gear. i have done many variations but i'll give you quick summary. I'm a hammerdin main with level 97 hammerdin that does a proper 1 point smite build. Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
