wut are the minimum equipment requirements for a smiter to do the ubers?
so far i have a 390/37 pb grief, shako, mp nigma, im working on an exile, anni, dracs, and rfrost.

if u have exile then ur more than likely to cast lifetap so u really just need basic gear. what u have seems good enough if u know ur way around..

with gear like that, and some skillful batteling, you will be good :)

If you can get high eth exile, then it's worth it. But a low exile, you might as well go with hoz.

my equipment for ubers is-
Kira's Guardian (Could you shako, might want to um or ber it)
Highlord's wrath (must have)
Last Wish Pb (can just as easily use grief)
Guardian Angel (+ to max res = awesome for res stacking)
Eth exile vortex w/ 44 res (Could use a Hoz, or a high defence exile w/ res)
Dracs (Must)
Verdungo's (could use tgod for light absorb)
Gore riders (must have)
Raven frost & dwarf star/wisp/another raven frost

Might want some res small charms so you don't get negative res from meph.

Cheapest weapons would be black and malice rune words. Used to use them a long time ago, can be very good against ubers.

Coh can be replaced with Guardian Angel in his case besides that its all good.
Thats what I used but I had a Griefpb

P.S Hes using my exile :D

A minimal smiter has way, way less than that. I still have my smiter, that I made on budget (beginning of ladder) and haven't bothered to change him, since he owns trist.

Helm: Guillaume Um
Weapon: Heaven's Light +3/2 os Shael Shael
Armor: Treachery
Shield: Zaka
Belt: Verdungo
Gloves: Dracul's
Boots: Gores
Amu: some random rare
Rings: some random rares, but I'd recommend 1 Raven and 1 Dwarf

You really don't need much more than that. I've been tristing with this Smiter all season and he hardly ever dies (by the way, he doesn't even have CTA).

cool, so pcombs, torches and anni's are not needed?
