im going to be usein highlords on my smiter for the 20 ias off of it...since Deadly strike does NOT work with smite will the mess with my dmg form fant and my 40-400 grief Z?? by the way will i hit a good bp with the following ias 40 off griefz----lvl30 fant------20 off of highlords----???

dude i have no idea, when i used a grief for my smiter i didnt do much dmg...

well i know that grief z is the best way to go.....but the dmg does not show up on th screen.. i dont knwo if u knew that or not.. but thanks for ur input...any thing helps when ur not pro like me :}

if i remember right, with a zerker and a lvl 30 fanat aura, u need a total of 60ias to reach the max breakpoint for smite which would be 6fpa (frames per attack) and 4.1 attacks per second. thats how it should be so long as the speed calculator i have is accurate. hope that helps

It all depends on your gear really.
I mean I would use Phase Blade. Since I think every smiter should have max Block and DR.
But I used Maras on mine.

who is ares? might you consider the cats eye amulet. it has 20 ias, and 26 dexterity for helping achieve max block. its the perfect amulet for any smiter trying for 6fpa speed and max block

ah i dident even think of cats eye..so alltoghter ill need 60 ias with a zerker on? so 40+20+lvl 30 fant will do it?.. btw. tyl for all the info

happi to help :)

remeber grief has "invisable" damage. for my smiter i need grief cause right now im usin a wizspike for res. I use highlord and it works fine.

I think the IAS breakpoint is 54% with lvl 20 Fanatiscm, so you need only Highlord and Grief BA 34%+.

if u ever want to figure out it for sure here is a good place. its easy enough. its basically spelled out for you.
