Your best bet for a shield is a monks barbed shield. It has the highest smite dmg available at lvl 27, and it is shoppable at drognan and anya, among other places probably.
And you don't need nagels for smite...AR doesn't affect smite. Your best bet for rings would be rares with +stats, life, resists, etc...

Breakpoints please |
|
What are the breakpoints for smite?
Reading this while gathering different barbed shields is making me want to dump my ele fire druid and go for a lvl 30 smiter. Just need to know how many shaels I need to see if the class will be overpowered at lvl 30. Then, does the lvl 1 fana along with all the + to skills items produce more damage compared to concentration w/ the same + to skill items?
More hitpoints(meager), more skill placement, and more equipment like DR gear & 2 to skill ammy w/ mods all make for a better smiter especially if the rules do not change accordingly.
Like this one for example:
***Smiters may not use blessed hammer, but may use any other skill.
Also, just curious if I have an honor knout, does the 25% DS chance carry over to the smite damage?

Things that work with smite:
Crushing blow
Chance to cast something on striking
Hit blinds target
Hit freezes target
Open Wounds
Enhanced Damage
Prevent Monster Heal
+Damage modifier on the Redeemer (unique Mighty Scepter) and Astreon's Iron Ward (unique Caduceus)
Curses such as Life Tap, Amplify Damage...
Things that won’t work with smite:
Life or Mana leech
Deadly Strike
Elemental Damage
+Max/Min Damage
The +damage modifier is specially useful in PvP, since it adds the straight amount of damage indicated (it won't be displayed in the character screen) to your attack, without being affected by the PvP penaly, Damage Reduction...
Taken directly from the Paladin F.A.Q. on the Diablo ii forums.
Also, try for a level 27 smiter, they are "more difficult" to accumulate the gear for then level 30
Let's see... monks war scepter of alarcity (i think ) would probably be your best bet for a weapon... try for some decent +skills too!
Hmm breakpoints....
with a war scepter the breakpoints are:
0 % 10
13 % 9
30 % 8
60 % 7
129 % 6
For a War Axe (best range on a 1-handed weapon...)
the breakpoints are:
0 % 11
11 % 10
26 % 9
48 % 8
86 % 7
180 % 6
If any of this information is incorrect, please let me know and I will fix it

I'll make the 27 since he'll be my first smiter, but I'm eager to even try a 29n'er just for pub games. I still don't understand how someone gets 900 smite dmg though without the use of max dmg jewels or charms( based on what a smiter told me). I just mentioned lvl 30 since it was talked about to some degree as being the newly accepted lld max lvl, and I wanted to see how much better a lvl 30 would be compared to a 27, but I guess I'll have to make the 27 first.
So far, I cowed a white barbed shield with no stats and shopped 2x barbed shield of defl w/ minor stats. If I do intend to beef up the smiter, I'll try to "2 soc" the shield to rhyme it. As for the weapon, I still have a "steel" runeword cutlass in stash. It has nice mods on it, plus the thing is fast enough to get me to max frames on the smiter with deathset/ twitch.
Anyone care to explain how I can seriously beep up smite damage without the common usage of max damage charms? Is most of it going to be thru skill placement or can a good majority of the damage be added from ED items?

+max dmg or +min dmg wont apply.. only +dmg
u can only add to the dmg by shield type, skills, and Off-weapon ed%

for the sake of accuracy, this is not correct.
+dmg on those three new uniques is the same as +Xmin to +Xmax and does get cut 17% pvp.. the listed dmg is just another bug
here is the reading for it:
http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=40510&hl=redeemer
the best weapon was a "monks war scepter of alarcity" wth like +3 holyshield . and the +skills barbed oD is the better shield
u need decent speed and +skills for the best dmg possible

A Monk war scepter of Swiftness would be lvl 27.
Smite damage comes from:
Base smite damage on shield
smite level
holy shield lvl
YOUR STR
ed jewels in anything other then weapon(this doesnt show in screen) I dont know how to check this
Getting a 900 max damage smite is pretty close to imposable at lvl 27. If you find out how please share with us.

STR DOES add to smite damage. I have a lvl 32 smiter, for every point I but in str I get 1 min and 1 max damage. Quick test. Take a smiter and put Enigma on him and watch the damage
